Hurricane Florence and CentOS CI/CBS
by Brian Stinson 12 Sep '18

12 Sep '18

Hi All, Some of you may know that the CentOS Community Build System, and CentOS CI Infrastructures are hosted in Raleigh, North Carolina. I wanted to take this opportunity to let all of you know that outages are possible (but not expected) in the coming days as Hurricane Florence makes its way toward the US East coast. We are confident in the precautions taken by our datacenter vendor, and in the preparedness plans by our DC operations team. If there happen to be outages, we will work to get things back as soon as we can. Cheers! -- Brian Stinson CentOS Infrastructure Team

Deletion of some jobs
by Zach Huntington Meath 11 Sep '18

11 Sep '18

Hello all, My name is Zach, and I'm a member of the Foreman team. We use ci.centos.org to run some of our testing. About 30 minutes ago I was setting up a job to maintain the jobs that we use on ci.centos.org and I copied over a command that we use on ci.theforeman.org which will update jobs and delete old jobs. We use this with ci.theforeman.org as we maintain all of our jobs in the same repository, also not realizing that the foreman user would have permissions to delete other jobs. I realized a bit into the job that it was not doing this, and instead was deleting other users jobs. I stopped the job, but it had already deleted 128 jobs. I sincerely apologize for this, it was not intentional, but a big mistake. I'm attaching a list of all the deleted jobs so that users can be aware. We will be removing this command and not running this again. Once again I sincerely apologize, for any undue stress or harm this may have caused. Thanks, -- Zachary Huntington-Meath Red Hat Engineering (919)-619-4189 irc: zhunting

Automating accepting repository invitations for the centos-ci user
by Jaime Melis 10 Sep '18

10 Sep '18

Hi there, One of the pain points I have with using ci.centos.org is that whenever you want to configure a new repository, you have to wait for `centos-ci` to accept the invitation. This can take a few days, and I usually have to create a bug in bug.centos.org on behalf of the developers to raise awareness that we're waiting for this. I was wondering if we could improve this workflow. I suggest we host a repo under `github.org/centos` with a yaml file with whitelisted repositories. This way as soon as anyone with permissions, such as Brian or KB, merges a PR that includes a new whitelisted repo, it will trigger a job that automatically accepts that repository invitation on behalf of the `centos-ci` user. I like this workflow because merges can be done very quickly, and even from a cell phone ;) It also provides a platform to discuss with the developers in case there are any questions about the repo, etc, plus added auditability, etc. Note that the old workflow would continue to work, i.e. having the repo in the whitelist file is not strictly required as invitations can still be manually handled. But if users actually send a PR it will be faster for them. Therefore, if we go forward, I suggest we add a note in this doc about how to accelerate the accepting of invitations by sending a PR: https://wiki.centos.org/QaWiki/CI/GithubIntegration I put together this script as a PoC: https://github.com/jmelis/automate-invitations What do you guys think? cheers, Jaime -- Jaime Melis Senior Software Engineer, OpenShift.io Red Hat jmelis(a)redhat.com

Introduction
by Vipul Siddharth 06 Sep '18

06 Sep '18

Greetings everyone, I am Vipul, an associate software engineer at Red Hat. I have been contributing to Fedora and Gluster for a while now and have recently joined Fedora&CentOS Infra Team. As I am a **very** new addition to the team, I yet have to discover different areas and projects to decide what I will be working on. Thankfully Brian [0] is helping me fill the gaps. I know my way around Python, Bash, Ansible and little bit of Jenkins. Using these (and learning more on the way), I am hoping to be of some help as soon as possible. You can know more about me at [1] Looking forward to getting involved in the community. Thank you [0]: https://wiki.centos.org/BrianStinson [1]: vsiddhar.me/about/ -- Vipul Siddharth Fedora | CentOS Red Hat

unexpected outage : duffy pool is empty
by Fabian Arrotin 05 Sep '18

05 Sep '18

Just to let you know that we experienced an issue with the provisioner in the CI environment, so actually the CentOS 7 x86_64 was empty with all the requests coming. I've so "frozen" jenkins (quiet mode) so not process CI jenkins jobs while the provisioner workers are able to catch up and then I'll open the jenkins gate Sorry for the inconvenience -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 56BEC54E | twitter: @arrfab
