ksplice and CentOS
by Karanbir Singh 25 Sep '25

25 Sep '25

hi guys, lots of people on this list are keen on contributing to the CentOS effort - and one place where we could, as a group of people, make a massive difference is being able to deliver a ksplice upgrade model. A couple of people have started in silo's to try and get something together but I feel it might be a good time to try and see if we can do somethng as a group. Do we have people on the list who find the idea of rebootless kernel upgrades interesting ? Is there some desire to try and make that happen within the CentOS Ecosystem ? - KB

anaconda dependency calculation?
by Nicholas Byrne 04 Aug '25

04 Aug '25

Hi all, I'm trying to find a tool that calculates all dependencies for a specific package or group of packages for use with CentOS 5 (beta) with the intention of putting together a custom single CD build of CentOS 5. With CentOS 4 i used a python script that used the hdrlist module to find all dependencies which borrowed code from a number of sources. I've looked at yumdownloader and how it checks dependencies (using the --resolve option) but if i pass it the list of packages defined in say the Base and the Core yum groups which generally form an absolute minimal install i end up with about 200 packages. If i do a custom install (using beta 1 disks) and deselect everything i end up with over 300 packages. So i'm guessing anaconda calculates dependencies in a slightly different way, can anyone point me to files/code where i should be looking to find out?

forums + portal for {lang}.centos.org sites
by Karanbir Singh 16 Aug '24

16 Aug '24

Hi, Earlier in the evening today Ralph, Fabian and I had a chat about the present state of the language subsites. This email sort of summarises the main issue ( s/w ). We seem to have run into a slight technical hitch with punbb/fluxbb. They dont support LDAP as a backend. And we had decided a few months back that all new rollouts must have ldap backend so we can rollin CentOS-DS / openldap based backend. So we need to look at alternatives, and since the primary focus of these international sites is going be forums : Here is a shortlist ( if there is anything else that people are aware of, please add to this list ) - phpBB - SMF - Fudforum - phorum - fluxbb Requirements: - Must be able to scale ( couple of hundred thousand msgs ) - Must be able to handle ldap auth ( if it cant, whats involved in writing the ldap-auth portion ) - Must address the specific requirements raised by the present www.centos.org forum users ( Can you please fill this section in ? ) - Must support all languages we need ( pure utf8 support would be good ) - Secure - Skin'able Nice to have: - Capable of running multiple instances from a single deployment - responsive community :D Things we will need to do: - Decide on what s/w to use. - Give the ArtWork people enough time to get the look & feel sorted. - Migrate newbb forums from www.centos.org to $system ( hey, english is a language too :D ). - Migrate fr.centos.org into the final s/w - setup {de/es/ja/it/pt_br}.centos.org Actions: Ralph and Fabian are going to work on setting up a test ldap server, once that is online we will then start by installing into our test-vm-farm the various s/w to eval them. If anyone would like to help, please feel free to jump right in. I'll setup a wiki page for this issue, which might be a good place to track progress. -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219@icq

A project calendar
by Karanbir Singh 11 Dec '14

11 Dec '14

Hi There is quite a lot of stuff going on and not all of it is easily visible to everyone. The way to perhaps address that is to setup a project calendar that people can sync against and look at regularly. And more win if we can have it slightly open ended, allowing people / projects / sig's to contribute events into that cal. To that extent Stephen Smoogen introduced me to Pierre-Yves Chibo who runs the fedocal effort, and they have graciously agreed to set something up for CentOS as well. Stephen I know is on this list already, I've requested Pierre to join ( he might have done so already ). Firstly looking for comments on the idea / plan - and then for options on implemention, publishing and consumption of the calendar.

RFC: Alternative Desktop SIG
by Stephen John Smoogen 01 Aug '14

01 Aug '14

I would like to put together an alternative desktop sig which will build, qa, and support desktops which are not the Enterprise Linux primary or secondary desktops (GNOME and KDE). There are a couple of ground rules I would like to propose: 1) Any desktop system needs to have 3 sponsors who are people willing to do the work of building RPMS, coordinating user bugs with upstream, and fixing packages. The reason for 3 is a) that this SIG isn't a dumping ground for here is ABC-DE compiled, goodbye. b) that disagreements between sponsors should be deadlock free. c) that when people take vacations, etc there is continuity of operation. 2) Desktops do not keep to Enterprise lifetimes, but major version changes to the desktop need to be announced, tested and released to a schedule. Desktops which don't want to do that will not be part of the SIG. [A schedule does not need to be super detailed, but just alleviate surprise.] 3) Desktops can and will be removed from the SIG if there isn't an interest in keeping them up. This is mainly to cover that if ABC-DE desktop no longer has sponsors, other members of the SIG aren't obliged to support ABC-DE if they don't want to. 4) Some level of governance needs to be established so that there is a committee that can make sure that a desktop has 'sponsors', that it is not just code thrown over a wall and left, and that users are not left surprised when updates to the desktop occur. They may also make up packaging rules and guidelines as needed to alleviate problems that come up. As this is an RFC, these are just proposed rules to be solidified when the CentOS board considers the SIG. -- Stephen J Smoogen.

Reminder: VoIP SIG Hangout today Feb 13, 16:00 UTC
by Patrick Laimbock 28 May '14

28 May '14

Hi, Reminder: as previously announced on the centos-devel list, the VoIP SIG Hangout will be today Feb 13 at 16:00 UTC [0]. For more information how to join the hangout on Google+ or follow it on Youtube please check http://wiki.centos.org/OfficeHours Nothing set in stone but some of the things open for discussion are the scope of the VoIP SIG, the goal, the target audience, the deliverables, content distribution and lets not forget the actual proposal. It's also helpful to get an industry perspective, how to make the production side easier and facilitate processes that improve the usability of CentOS in the VoIP sector.

OpenNebula Variant and Cloud SIG proposals
by Jaime Melis 26 May '14

26 May '14

Apologies, I sent this to KB's direct mailbox earlier today and apparently I didn't send it to centos-devel. So I'm forwarding it now. Given that there are at least two other projects keen to make this happen, it would be great if the Cloud SIG could be a single multicloud target. -- Hello, I'm Jaime Melis from the OpenNebula project [1]. We have been involved with CentOS for the past year making a stable Cloud Management Platform [2]. I would like to hereby propose a new CentOS variant, namely the OpenNebula variant. This variant would add three roles to the CentOS installation: * OpenNebula Frontend * OpenNebula Node KVM * OpenNebula Node Xen The work for the Frontend and Node KVM roles has been completed and is ready to be released. The Node Xen role is still in progress although close to being finished. This work should take place under the Cloud SIG umbrella, which right as of now doesn't exist, so I would like to also propose the creation of this group with the aim of making the major cloud platforms work wth Centos.

Storage SIG Moving Forward
by Patrick McGarry 04 Apr '14

04 Apr '14

Now that the Storage SIG has been (mostly) ratified, I wanted to start looking forward. We are already started on some of the simple first steps; so giving a little time to have a few tasks under our belt (and give people a chance to wrap their head around the tasks ahead) we're aiming for the first SIG meeting to be on: 04-Apr @ 15:00 UTC. Anyone who is interested in attending please let me know before then and I'll make sure you're added to the invite. Our current plan is to just keep it simple w/ a Google Hangout (not on-air) so if we grow beyond 10 we'll need to know beforehand. In this meeting we'll be discussing the following: * Infrastructure plans (repositories, lists, etc) * Form & Function (who does what, how repos are handled) * Rough roadmap (what to accomplish when) * Identify potential additions to SIG (have Ceph&Gluster, anyone else?) * Any other ideas/questions that may come up If you have any questions in the meantime feel free to reply here, or hit me directly via email (patrick(a)inktank.com) or on IRC (scuttlemonkey).

@eduardo Yes you are right. You are not crazy dreamer ! A midrange UTM and uper should support this features and another... The technical topic will open later, for now we are talking about general subjects ! Are goal is CentOS Security SIG ! A version of CentOS that provide features for network security and my topics to discuss are: - Do we need this SIG in CentOS ecosystem? - Is it any parallel project in CentOS right now? - Is CentOS a suitable base to provide and create this project? - and anything you think... :-) On Mar 22, 2014 3:15 AM, "Eduardo Kaftanski" <ekaftan(a)gmail.com> wrote: Can I elaborate a bit on what I would like this SIG to provide? -An integrated web console for object oriented (objects being servers, pc-workstations and people) network access manager. This console would get installed in a centralized server (maybe a small VM on whatever virtualization system you have) -A small dedicated CentOS server that you can install over comodity hardware. This would be an 'almost zero config' server. You only need to specify the IP for the admin interface and the IP for the central admin-server -This small servers can act as firewalls, mail proxys, antiviruses, web proxies, DNS, etc. -Small network? One small VM for the adminserver + one box doing firewall, proxy, mx, snort, etc. -Growing up? install a second box. Select proxy off for box 1 on the admin console, select proxy on on the second box. Select 'transparent on'. Select antivirus on. Click apply. Box one is no longer your proxy but transparently redirects proxy traffic to box two, now your proxy. yes, I am a crazy dreamer, but its like Asterisk... if you want a very small cheap PBX you can buy a Panasonic for US$500. You need Asterisk when you want the strange and crazy features. you dont install a CentOS firewall for a tiny network. A small WRT box works better is more stable and its way cheaper. You need a CentOS box when you are doing strange things, like balancinh, HA, multiview DNS, multiple ISP links, openvpn servers, ipsec, etc.. Ah... at least down here customers place MUCH more weight on the ability to selectively block access to their own people than protecting from outside attacks and 90% of the configurations I make have no external access at all.

how minimal is a minimal too minimal
by Karanbir Singh 20 Mar '14

20 Mar '14

Hi Something that keeps coming up is how far can we minimalise an Instance / Image / Installer before we cant call it CentOS anymore. In the past, what we have generally stuck with is: - CentOS Shipped kernel - Initscripts - functional yum - functional openssh-server - atleast all of @base however, in some cases, openssh-server might not be needed, and initscripts has a fairly long dep tree, similarly making yum work needs a few things. Can we get away with losing yum as an example and replacing it with a script that says 'need yum? I can download and install it for you' and have it hit mirror.centos.org for static yum and yum dep urls ? similarly, should nobase and nocore be acceptable ? the aim being to setup a base image, that is under 150mb to download and deploy. -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

CentOS Docker images
by Chris St. Pierre 19 Mar '14

19 Mar '14

I've volunteered to help maintain official CentOS Docker ( https://www.docker.io/) images, and Karanbir suggested I email the list to "thrash out what we need at the infra end to achieve these images." Currently, there are 'centos' images available in the top-level Docker registry namespace, but these are maintained by dotcloud. I think we can do better. :) As I see it, there are two ways we can do this: 1. Use ami-creator (https://github.com/katzj/ami-creator) or something derived from it, to build Docker images from a kickstart file. This is how CentOS AMIs are currently built. Pros: Consistent with how AMIs are usually built; Kickstart is a known entity. Cons: ami-creator won't actually work for us as-is; requires a full kickstart config. 2. Use the mkimage-yum.sh script from Docker ( https://github.com/dotcloud/docker/blob/master/contrib/mkimage-yum.sh) customized as necessary to produce a minimal base image. Pros: Consistent with how Docker images are usually built; we can contribute changes to mkimage-yum.sh upstream to help other Yum-based distros; only requires a yum config. Cons: Requires changing a shell script to make changes to the base image, not just a Kickstart. Unfortunately, Docker Trusted Build ( http://blog.docker.io/2013/11/introducing-trusted-builds/) can't be used for base images, AFAICT. In either case, we'll need a git repo to hold the code and configs used to build the images. If we follow the example of the official CentOS AMIs ( http://wiki.centos.org/Cloud/AWS) it should be sufficient to provide a reasonably up-to-date base image ("latest" or "nightly" or similar), and a few recent dot releases. Of course, once CentOS 7 is released we'll need to do that for both 6 and 7, but that shouldn't be difficult if we do this right. Thoughts on process and/or infrastructure? -- Chris St. Pierre

CentOS 7 Installer Artwork
by Alain Reguera Delgado 14 Mar '14

14 Mar '14

Hi, Does anyone, with beta version of CentOS 7 installed, could describe the installer artwork requirements? I've downloaded the http://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/rhel/beta/7/source/SRPMS/redhat-logos-69.1.9-1… file and didn't find any image for anaconda but the syslinux-splash.png file inside it. Is this the only image shown in the CentOS 7 installation process or there is any other image shown in the process. Any idea of related source packages to take a look in? Best Regards, al.

Centos 7 VS Gnome 3
by Fred Smith 14 Mar '14

14 Mar '14

RH seems, in their wisdom, to have settled on Gnome3 or KDE. As far as I can see, they aren't offering any other desktop environments. I can't stand Gnome3, and don't care a whole lot for KDE 4.x, though it doesn't irritate me the way Gnome 3 does. Given the new relationship between RH and Centos, are their any new possibilities of including (or offering as extras) things like Mate or Cinnamon? Or will I need to roll my own (or bring 'em in from Fedora) ?? Thanks to the whole Centos team for the really good distribution. I hope to be with you for many more years, if I can. -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex(a)fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good. ----------------------------- Proverbs 15:3 (niv) -----------------------------

Hi all, If you follow the centos-promo mailing list (it exists!)[1] you may have noticed a lot of discussion lately around putting together a lot of CentOS Dojos this year. We're currently planning, and have announced, several Dojos: * March 31 (Santa Clara, CA): http://wiki.centos.org/Events/Dojo/SantaClara2014 * April 10 (Denver, CO): http://wiki.centos.org/Events/Dojo/Denver2014 * April 11 (Lyon, France): http://wiki.centos.org/Events/Dojo/Lyon2014 And we have quite a few more coming, all over the world. If you are using CentOS in production, doing interesting things on CentOS, or have ideas for presentations that would be very interesting for CentOS users, please feel free to get in touch with me or KB about speaking at one of the Dojos. We're very much looking for presentations or discussions that will be relevant to folks who are using CentOS at scale. Case studies, best practices, tips and tricks, etc. What we avoid at Dojos are product pitches or 101-type presentations that won't be useful for experienced admins / users. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

New SIG I would like to propose

I would like to create a project with JBoss EAP similar to what CentOS does with RHEL. A proposed name would be CentAP for Community Enterprise Application Platform. I think the CentOS community would definitely benefit from this. -- Pouar
