EPEL bug squashing day 2 Dec 2014
by Jim Perrin 09 Nov '14

09 Nov '14

Leading up to the upcoming orphan removal in EPEL, the EPEL Steering Committee is organizing a Bug Squashing Day. There are 3 main purposes to this day: 1. Identifying owners willing to take over orphaned packages 2. Bug triage, feedback, or fixing various bugs through patch submission, etc. 3. Last but not least, we'll be covering the testing of various packages which need feedback. Additionally it would be helpful to begin establishing a baseline for package testing, to establish what features should be tested when providing feedback for packages. If you have a FAS account and would like to participate, please keep an eye on the EPEL devel mailing list as more information will be provided. https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/epel-devel/2014-November/010453.h… -- Jim Perrin The CentOS Project | http://www.centos.org twitter: @BitIntegrity | GPG Key: FA09AD77

Policy for Ad-Hoc Upstreams: Development Hosting
by Brian Stinson 07 Nov '14

07 Nov '14

Hi All, In the CBS/Infra meeting on Monday we agreed to start a discussion here on the mailing list about how to handle "ad-hoc" upstreams. An ad-hoc upstream could best be described as a project we would like to ship that is developed within the CentOS community (centpkg is one example). Developers of an ad-hoc upstream need some extra infra (e.g. a git repo for doing active development) in addition to the dist-git repo on git.centos.org where the package specs live. I would like to start the policy and procedure discussion with the following proposals: - Host the ad-hoc development repositories on git.centos.org in separate Gitblit projects - Host the ad-hoc development repositories on Github, linked to the CentOS project group - Host the ad-hoc development repositories someplace else? Thanks! Brian -- Brian Stinson bstinson(a)ksu.edu | IRC: bstinson | Bitbucket/Twitter: bstinsonmhk

Secondary archs and how we might build them
by Karanbir Singh 07 Nov '14

07 Nov '14

There has been reasonable levels of interest in the various secondary arch's - i386 / powerpc / arm32 / arm64; but the Core SIG team is just too busy to actively participate and deliver on these. What I'd like to do is run an online session over google hangout + irc, and see if we can get a conversation started on how other people might contribute towards these builds and how we might setup the idea of a secondary architecture that tracks the main x86_64 builds for CentOS-7. Not sure if there is much interest or value in doing this for the CentOS-5/6 tree's at this point. I'd like to propose the 31st Oct 2014 as the date to run this, and starting at 10:00 UTC running for 2 hours. - KB -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

Rolling Monthly snapshots
by Karanbir Singh 07 Nov '14

07 Nov '14

Hi, I'd like to introduce the idea of rolling monthly builds for install media, cloud, instance and container images. A generally accepted and expected state of cloud and container images is to update the default stock image on a schedule, something we've not been doing in the past and something that lots of people have been asking for. In order address this, I'd like to introduce everyone to http://buildlogs.centos.org/rolling/ There is no change to mirror.centos.org rpm repo's; those will stay the way they are. For right now, these are x86_64 only; on c5 / c6 I will work to bringing in the 32bit builds in as well ( in the coming week ). Important Note: the CentOS-6 cloud images now include cloud-init and expect user login from user 'centos' instead of the old default of 'root'. Please share comments about how this impacts your existing use case ( and I am very willing to go back to using the root user by default since thats what we've had for a long long time on c5/c6 ). CentOS-5 images remain as they were, no cloud-init and default login is via root. The cloud-init files in this CentOS-6 build are not signed, however they will be released into centos-extras/ and signed before we push these images to final release. This contains right now : CentOS-7 - CentOS-7-x86_64-AtomicHost-20141029_02.qcow2 - CentOS-7-x86_64-AtomicHost-20141029_02.qcow2.gz - CentOS-7-x86_64-GenericCloud-20141029_01.qcow2 and - CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-20141029_02.iso - CentOS-7-x86_64-Everything-20141029_03.iso - CentOS-7-x86_64-Minimal-20141029_02.iso CentOS-6 - CentOS-6-x86_64-GenericCloud-20141029_01.qcow2 In the next few days, I will try and get the entire stock of install media ( ie. livemedia and isos ) for the CentOS-6 tree online as well, and then CentOS-5. The aim is to work through the build process and evolve it through this month, to then hit a regular, predictable delivery plan. These images are built against the mirror.centos.org state as on and including all updates released to the 29th of October ( so as to be a month from the last images. ), however there is good reason to either make it the 28th of every month ( so we are covered for Feb ) or just use the 1st of the month, every month, to include all updates released upto that day ( but not including the 1st ). This would also make it easier to label the images at just YYMM, and we can drop the day of month reference completely. Couple of key things to note here : - Whatever date we all decide on, we will use that date in month, to deliver fresh install media every month, which will contain all updates released from the last media set, rolled in. eg. If someone was to install CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-20141029.iso, the default installed tree would already pre-include all updates released to that date. - The aim is to pick a snapshot date, and deliver the entire complement of media, i.e if someone was to pick Nov '14 as their install point, they would be able to get docker images, vagrant images, cloud images, live media, iso media all with exact same point-in-time content. - If we need to hit a higher frequency, eg: the cloud and docker images might need to move to a weekly plan ( there is reasonable expectation in the consumer groups for this content to have weekly images ), then we can do that as an additional buildrun, but I want atleast a monthly run for the entire set. - Development builds, eg. as we work through cloud-init issues on CentOS-6 will also show up under /rolling/ however, we might want to setup a devel/ subtree, so people only interested in consuming known good, non-devel builds are not overloaded and can ignore those easily. - In case of big-news-security issues like heartbleed, puddle, shellshock ( and all the ones where naming wasent cool ), we can also do point-in-time builds that help get media out for people looking to consume media known patched for those things. - I've put in quite a bit of effort to make sure that kernel drivers and installtime configs that work at the closest point release continue to work in these builds as well, but all feedback on that welcome and please test it. Lets use the next 20 odd days and get this process setup, so we can go into 'production' mode with rolling builds starting end of Nov. -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

CROSS-LIST Notice: Changes in EPEL
by Jim Perrin 04 Nov '14

04 Nov '14

If you use the EPEL repository, please read https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/epel-announce/2014-November/00003… TL;DR: There are a large number of orphaned/unmaintained packages in EPEL across the 5, 6, and 7 trees. These packages will be removed from EPEL unless they are picked up by a packager. Packages that *depend* on an orphaned package will be removed as well to ensure repo-closure. Please review the package lists to see if something you use is impacted. If you're impacted and you have the required skills, please consider taking over ownership of the package. -- Jim Perrin The CentOS Project | http://www.centos.org twitter: @BitIntegrity | GPG Key: FA09AD77
