ALASCA SCOMB - Call

by Helena Ott

Hey everybody, I hope, everyone is doing great! I noticed that our next Scomb call falls on the *21. of May*, which is also the *date of the SCS Summit*. Since many of us will be attending the event, I've pushed the next call back one week - to *Thursday, May 28th*. I hope that's fine for everyone and I'm looking forward to seeing you then. In addition, I'd like to remind everyone of the upcoming *Hackathon*. I think it's going to be a great opportunity to get together and focus on further advancing the SONiC community build. It'll be in *Stuttgart on July 1st and 2nd *and everyone is warmly invited! You can find all info on our*website <https://alasca.cloud/alasca-community-hackathon/>or in our pad <https://input.scs.community/s/XOjdjTcA1N#>. *Other than that you can always come to me with questions. I wish everyone a great rest of the week and lovely long weekend.

CI Update – Automated PR Merging in SONiC Images

by Rankan Sen

Dear community, Following the discussion in the last SCOMB meeting, the CI pipeline has been updated to support automatic merging of PRs from the upstream into the build. To use this, add the required PR IDs to the |PR_LIST| variable in the GitLab CI YAML: PR_LIST: "10809 11802 12429 22641 25325 7615 7757 9491" Leave this empty if there is nothing to be merged. These PRs will be merged automatically along with the changes from the current branch during the build process. Please review the implementation and share any feedback or alternative approaches if applicable. The latest image for Edgecore DCS203 is available here: https://scomb.demo.alasca.cloud/sonic-images/master-ci-pipeline/2026-04-21_…<https://scomb.demo.alasca.cloud/sonic-images/master-ci-pipeline/2026-04-21_…> Best regards, Rankan ** Cloud&Heat Cloud&Heat Technologies GmbH Königsbrücker Straße 96 (Halle 15) | 01099 Dresden *+49 351 479 367 00* *rankan.sen(a)cloudandheat.com | **www.cloudandheat.com* <https://www.cloudandheat.com> *Green, Open, Efficient.* Ihr Cloud-Service- und Cloud-Technologie-Provider aus Dresden. <https://www.cloudandheat.com/> Commercial Register: District Court Dresden Register Number: HRB 30549 VAT ID No.: DE281093504 Managing Director: Nicolas Röhrs Authorized signatory: Dr. Marius Feldmann

Re: GitLab Runners Setup Complete & Initial SONiC Builds Available

by Hagen Woesner

Thank you Rankan, for the effort you are putting into this. On our end Jonas would offer to give a short introduction into our switch-testing setup, which builds around 100 tests around BISDN Linux for L2 and L3. As there is a considerable overlap between the supported hardware platforms, we can also offer to run some tests on our platforms. Of course, the switch configuration between BISDN Linux (i.e. pure Linux) and Sonic differs, so there is code to be modified. But maybe the general ideas can inspire. So, this is a request for a 20 minute slot during the upcoming call April 16.
