Signing and promoting CBS content
by Karanbir Singh 11 Nov '15

11 Nov '15

Hi, Attached here is a macro level overview on how the sign services is getting setup. I've been working on this recently, and its the process being adopted for SIG's moving to release ( eg. RDO folks rely on this for the openstack release work into the Cloud SIG repos ). Couple of highlights : Each box indicates a physical entity; the Sign Box is a HA pair of 2 nodes, dedicated for this purpose. The main sign service is a dedicated machine hosted near the CBS infra for performance reasons. Read this alongside http://www.karan.org/CBS_ContentPromotion.png which lays out what tag's go where and how this maps to buildlogs and the mirror / CDN side of things. The PreFlight testing and Validation steps only do some basic work at the moment, including validating that rpms are not already signed, they come from and are going into the right path maps ( eg. virt sig content going into the /virt/ subdirs etc ), and the rpm headers are valid. Lots of potential to expand on this steps. I will aim to extract these scripts out and into git.centos.org for more eyes and contribution options. The push to buildlogs runs every 2 hrs at this point, and does not include a sign step. buildlogs content is pushed as is, from the right tags, for projects and SIGs that have opted in ( ideally, everyone should! if you are not doing this already please get in touch ). Content for the sign and push to mirror.centos.org runs a report every 48 hrs, and needs a manual ack. In the coming weeks, we will move to perhaps a 12 hr cycle with better round the clock cover.

koji/mock/createrepo_c/pigz packages distributed in CentOS 7 - extras ?
by Jarek Polok 04 Nov '15

04 Nov '15

Hello all, It seems that starting yesterday new packages: koji/mock/createrepo_c/pigz/python-lockfile/python-munch are distributed in CentOS7 Extras repo: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/extras/x86_64/Packages/ I believe all of the above are already provided by EPEL7, so why duplicate these ? I guess that these may be specific versions needed for cbs.centos.org buildsystem and I can see that these are dependencies of centos-packager which also has been added to extras: but then wouldn;t it be better to distribute these via an additional repository - like for SIG provided packages, and not in a repository that is (probably) enabled for most of CentOS users ? It seems to me that this set of packages is targeted at developer community, not at general users community ? Best Regards Jarek __ ------------------------------------------------------- _ Jaroslaw_Polok __________________ CERN - IT/OIS/WLS _ _ http://cern.ch/~jpolok ________ tel_+41_22_767_1834 _ ______________________________________+41_75_411_9487 _

Oracle Cloud and CentOS Cloud Instance SIG
by ajay seetharam 04 Nov '15

04 Nov '15

I would like to join the CentOS Cloud Instance SIG on behalf of the Oracle Cloud team. My background in IT spans 25 years across verticals and Operating Systems. In my current Solution Architect role at Oracle, our team engages with System Integrator, ISV partners and Communities such as CentOS so their technologies and solutions are enabled on exciting new Oracle products and technologies through reference architectures, solution design, best practices and implementation guidance. My current focus area includes Oracle Compute Cloud Services and Oracle Marketplace. Oracle Compute Cloud Service is an Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) offering that provides flexible and scalable compute, block storage, and networking services on Oracle Cloud. Oracle Compute Cloud Service is ideal for customers who want to set up test and development environment in the public cloud, or migrate their on-premises workloads to the public cloud and leverage the benefits of cloud. Oracle customers benefit from Operating System choice to run a variety of workloads in Oracle Compute Cloud Service. The goals of my participation in the CentOS Cloud Instance SIG are to facilitate community built CentOS official images to exist in the oracle Cloud Marketplace and ensure the users have a good experience, in a community supported format. Thanks and Regards, Ajay

FOSDEM 2016 - Distributions Devroom Call for Participation The Distributions devroom will take place 30 & 31 January, 2016 at FOSDEM, in room K.4.201 at Université Libre de Bruxelles, in Brussels, Belgium. As Linux distributions converge on similar tools, the problem space overlapping different distributions is growing. This standardization across the distributions presents an opportunity to develop generic solutions to the problems of aggregating, building, and maintaining the pieces that go into a distribution. We welcome submissions targeted at developers interested in issues unique to distributions, especially in the following topics: - Cross-distribution collaboration on common issues, eg: content distribution and documentation - Working with vendor relationships (eg. cloud providers, non-commodity hardware vendors etc ) - The future of distributions, emerging trends and evolving user demands from the idea of a platform - User experience management ( onboarding new users, facilitating technical growth, user to contribution transitions etc ) - Building trust and code relationships with the upstream components of a distribution - Solving traditional problems like package management, and content management (eg. rpm/dpkg/ostree/coreos ) - Contributor resource management, centralised trust management, key trust etc - Integration technologies like installers, deployment facilitation ( eg. cloud contextualisation ) Submissions may be in the form of 30-55 minute talks, panel sessions, round-table discussions, Birds of a Feather (BoF) sessions or lightning talks. Dates ------ Submission Deadline: 10th Dec 2015 Acceptance Notification: 15th Dec 2015 Final Schedule Posted: 17th Dec 2015 How to submit -------------- Visit https://penta.fosdem.org/submission/FOSDEM16 1.) If you do not have an account, create one here 2.) Click 'Create Event' 3.) Enter your presentation details 4.) Be sure to select the Distributions Devroom track! 5.) Submit What to include --------------- - The title of your submission - A 1-paragraph Abstract - A longer description including the benefit of your talk to your target audience - Approximate length / type of submission (talk, BoF, ...) - Links to related websites/blogs/talk material (if any) If you have any questions, feel free to contact the devroom organizers: distributions-devroom(a)lists.fosdem.org (https://lists.fosdem.org/listinfo/distributions-devroom) Cheers!
