[BlueOnyx:23278] Re: Upcoming BlueOnyx 5210R additions

Hi Ernie,

> what's the eta on 5210R atm?

Last week I fixed up transitional errors and dependency issues related
to the difference between RHEL8 beta and CentOS 8. Also some issues
where I early on had made manual changes (such as permissions) on the
initial test box and forgot to put them into the actual code.

The next step is to get 5210R to a stage where we can do a "yum
groupinstall blueonyx" onto an already installed CentOS 8 (minimal
install), as that will tell me which corrective steps the YUM
post-install will have to make to deliver a fully working system. This
knowledge will then be incorporated into the kickstart scripts and the
blueonyx-cd-installer RPM which I need for the ISO.

The step after that is getting a Pungi configuration ready to actually
roll up a working ISO.

The "yum groupinstall blueonyx" might yield usable results as soon as
the next weekend or early next week. The ISO building and testing will
take at least another week. Intent is to get the first ISO to a stage
where it provides a hassle free install and to avoid delivering a series
of duds that generate a bad first impression.

So tentatively:

- "yum groupinstall blueonyx" (on a CentOS 8): Perhaps next week
- BlueOnyx 5210R ISO image: ~ 10-14 days
