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

But, for us it would mean jumping on coreos-cloudinit and contributing to it so that we can use it 2015-12-03T16:27:56 <jbrooks> tmrts, does it fit w/ what you've been doing? 2015-12-03T16:28:01 <tmrts> #info copr repository https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/tamertas/flamingo/ 2015-12-03T16:28:07 <jbrooks> thx 2015-12-03T16:28:36 <tmrts> jbrooks, do you mean getting in touch with fedora folks? 2015-12-03T16:28:39 <dustymabe> tmrts: nice so you have reached out to them? 2015-12-03T16:28:45 <dustymabe> them == coreos 2015-12-03T16:28:49 <jbrooks> tmrts, the coreos effort 2015-12-03T16:29:01 <jbrooks> Like, does merging efforts make sense to you? 2015-12-03T16:29:12 <tmrts> dustymabe, they've reached out to me 2015-12-03T16:29:19 <dustymabe> oh, even better 2015-12-03T16:29:32 <lalatenduM> cool 2015-12-03T16:30:11 <tmrts> I evaluated coreos-cloudinit and basically they hardwired it to coreos (some parts). ultimately a joint effort would be better 2015-12-03T16:30:42 <tmrts> But, we'd need to contribute to coreos-cloudinit and make it work for us 2015-12-03T16:31:10 *** sshnaidm <sshnaidm!sshnaidm@nat/redhat/x-yzjqlttdrtvsnbca> has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 246 seconds) 2015-12-03T16:31:13 <dustymabe> tmrts: right. so what I would say is that it's going to be hard to convince them to abandon what they have. what I would propose is that we actually evaluate what they have, remove the hardwired parts, but still allow them to achieve their goals with those hardwirings 2015-12-03T16:31:18 *** jstribny <jstribny!jstribny@nat/redhat/x-cmyzhkpgavztclxi> has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving) 2015-12-03T16:31:32 <dustymabe> and then we can together launch a new project together with them 2015-12-03T16:31:39 *** rssfed23 <rssfed23!~rssfed23(a)91.217.86.20> has quit IRC (Quit: My Mac has gone to sleep.

For the rebuild, certainly, and we've been envisioning the four-week in that way, as well 2015-12-03T16:34:10 <jbrooks> Do we have a next action on this? 2015-12-03T16:34:12 <dustymabe> jbrooks: agree 2015-12-03T16:34:23 <dustymabe> probably would be better to do it in fedora first 2015-12-03T16:34:48 <dustymabe> tmrts: are you interested in combining efforts with coreos or are you more interested in flamingo as it exists today? 2015-12-03T16:35:09 <dustymabe> you never know. they might even be willing to keep the flamingo name for the launch of the combined effort 2015-12-03T16:35:20 <dustymabe> but most likely would want to have the new project be based largely on their code 2015-12-03T16:35:28 <dustymabe> makes sense since it is already being used and testeed 2015-12-03T16:36:00 <tmrts> dustymabe, Here's my viewpoint a collaboration would be very helpful, but as it stands it would mean splitting flamingo into parts and contribute it to coreos-cloudinit 2015-12-03T16:36:31 *** foxhunt72 is now known as foxhunt_away 2015-12-03T16:36:39 <dustymabe> right 2015-12-03T16:37:02 <dustymabe> which I think probably makes the most sense, because it is already in production and being used 2015-12-03T16:37:25 <kbsingh> i need to rebase away to another thing, thanks fuys 2015-12-03T16:37:26 <kbsingh> guys even 2015-12-03T16:37:28 <dustymabe> if it was the other way around where flamingo was out there and had users and coreos didn't then probably would go the other way 2015-12-03T16:37:47 <dustymabe> tmrts: any chance you will be at fosdem? 2015-12-03T16:38:19 <tmrts> dustymabe, yeah I agree with you it is battle-tested 2015-12-03T16:38:34 <tmrts> dustymabe, unfortunately I won't be able to attend 2015-12-03T16:38:53 <dustymabe> maybe the architecture needs rework (to match your design better), but most of the code will probably come from coreos-cloudinit 2015-12-03T16:38:58 <dustymabe> which is actually probably a good thing for us 2015-12-03T16:39:16 <dustymabe> since they probably support way more functionality at this point (not sure on this, just guessing) 2015-12-03T16:39:55 <dustymabe> tmrts: so I guess what I am asking is "is the proposal I made acceptable to you?" 2015-12-03T16:40:00 <dustymabe> since you wrote flamingo 2015-12-03T16:41:04 <tmrts> dustymabe, the most acceptable choice would be to create a new organization(or effort) and merge what they have with flamingo along with them 2015-12-03T16:41:27 <dustymabe> right. and what I am proposing is that we do that 2015-12-03T16:41:47 <tmrts> dustymabe, yes I agree with you 2015-12-03T16:41:52 <dustymabe> where the new org has probably most of the new code coming from coreos-cloud-init and some of it coming from flamingo 2015-12-03T16:42:24 <dustymabe> either way we want to merge our efforts 2015-12-03T16:42:33 <dustymabe> some of the coreos devs live in NYC 2015-12-03T16:42:39 <dustymabe> and I see them often at meetups 2015-12-03T16:44:07 *** centbot <centbot!~centbot@centos/bot/centbot> has joined #centos-devel 2015-12-03T16:44:08 <dustymabe> and how long ago was that? 2015-12-03T16:44:41 *** Bahhumbug <Bahhumbug!jrd@serentos/admin/jrd> has joined #centos-devel 2015-12-03T16:44:44 <tmrts> I replied that we'd like to merge efforts as well and what do you think the next action should be 2015-12-03T16:45:06 <Bahhumbug> My apologies for dropping the bot in the middle of your meeting.

Why is systemd user instance support disabled in CentOS 7 / RHEL 7?
by Tadej Janež 28 Jan '16

28 Jan '16

Hi! I'm preparing a backup package for Fedora/EPEL 7 [1] that provides a web server with a systemd unit file for running with the systemd user instance (i.e. 'systemd --user'). As reported in [2], systemd user instance support is disabled in CentOS 7 due to being disabled in the upstream RHEL package. It is the same with the latest systemd for CentOS 7 [3]. Unfortunately, the original Red Hat Bugzilla report [4] is not public so I'm asking here if anyone has more information why this is disabled? Thanks and regards, Tadej [1] https://apps.fedoraproject.org/packages/bup [2] https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=8767 [3] https://git.centos.org/blob/rpms! systemd/1ff63606a64d814f37c4956854107e049a684754/SOURCES! 0004-remove-user-.service.patch [4] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1019738

by Brian (bex) Exelbierd 04 Jan '16

Greater Visibility for Events
by Brian (bex) Exelbierd 29 Dec '15

29 Dec '15

I believe we should add a link in the Community NavBar on centos.org for https://wiki.centos.org/Events I also believe we should either add confirmed events to the meeting calendar or produce a separate calendar of events CentOS will be represented at. I can do the updates or am happy to let someone else make the changes. regards, bex

23 Dec '15

Hi All: In the CentOS community for Power, we have get the iso and rpms for ppc64le, but the rpms related to openstack do not be released for ppc64le, we have a pressing need for them. We wish CentOS community to release it for Power. We are testing openstack on Power using the noarch rpms whitch are provided in x86_64, if credible ? Thanks! 2015-12-22 liu_xbing

Hello, On vault for 7.2.1511 I only find libssh2 source when a couple of packages require libssh. This package is available in 7.1.1503. Shouldn't we have it in 7.2.1511 list as well ? - example of package requiring it is cockpit Thanks for your check. -- Thierry

CentOS 7 ppc64le (power little endian) rpms, build logs, mock configs
by James O'Connor 21 Dec '15

21 Dec '15

Here are the first two rounds of CentOS 7 ppc64le rpms, build logs, and mock configs: Round A: http://ppcbootstrap.lon1.centos.org/C7a/ppc64le/ * Built atop Fedora 21 ppc64le VMs * Built from http://vault.centos.org/7.1.1503/os/Source/SPackages/ and c7-ppc64le branch on git.centos.org * Source rpms were temporarily modified to remove circular dependencies during the bootstrap process Round B: http://ppcbootstrap.lon1.centos.org/C7b/ppc64le/ * Built atop Centos 7 ppc64le VMs * Built from http://vault.centos.org/7.1.1503/os/Source/SPackages/ , http://vault.centos.org/7.1.1503/updates/Source/SPackages/ , and c7-ppc64le branch on git.centos.org * noarch rpms were skipped as those will be taken from c7-x86_64 * Only gcc.spec (%global build_ada 0), curl.spec (upstream testcase fix), ghostscript.spec (upstream segfault fix) and nss.spec (upstream fix for expired PayPal cert) were modified. I will provide further details on these alterations on the altarch ppc64le wiki page once that gets created. Feedback is most welcome. You may find jpoc on the #centos-devel and #centos-ppc irc channels. Once the AltArch SIG is officially approved, we will share installable alpha/beta images and rpm repositories. Thanks -James

CentOS for Oracle Cloud Marketplace
by ajay seetharam 16 Dec '15

16 Dec '15

We did a test with CentOS 15.03 RAW image (http://cloud.centos.org/centos/7/images/CentOS-7-x86_64-GenericCloud-1503.r…) and it boots up with no changes in Oracle Compute Cloud Service. Oracle Compute supports the same Amazon data source and cloud-init metadata for ssh keys - so it inserted the ssh keys just fine into the CentOS instance. (The Oracle Compute Cloud Service requires image files in RAW .tar.gz format - so we had to do one small extra step of compressing. Longer term we can see if the builds can automatically include a .tar.gz format for raw images) We will do a quick test with CentOS 15.10 latest version posted at http://cloud.centos.org/centos/7/images Assuming it works ok as well, please let us know if we can take it, .tar.gz it, and publish the image on Oracle Cloud Marketplace with the publisher listed as centos.org. If there are any other process steps, please let us know. Thanks and Regards, Ajay Seetharam Technical Director, Oracle Development

SIGs sign push is suspended
by Karanbir Singh 15 Dec '15

15 Dec '15

hi. Since were seeding the mirrors upto the 7 release, it creates a lot of flux for about 24 - 36 hrs in the mirror network. In order to keep content going to the right place, I've suspended the sign, push for SIG content ( it was cleared yesterday, with nothing pending in the queue ). We should be able to resume the run on Monday. If there are any security or important updates to go through, ping me on IRC and we can try to do something manually if needed. regards -- Karanbir Singh, Project Lead, The CentOS Project +44-207-0999389 | http://www.centos.org/ | twitter.com/CentOS GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

CentOS 7.2 issues
by Jacco Ligthart 12 Dec '15

12 Dec '15

Hi list, I'm currently looking at the sources for CentOS 7.2 (at the vault), because I want to rebuild them for armv5 (redsleeve). I think that I saw some irregularities, which I wanted to share with you. First, there is no repodata for the os section of 7.2 (http://vault.centos.org/7.2.1511/os/Source/) I think that all other directories do have that. (this is something I often use, in combination with repodiff to get a list of srpms to download) To work around this I downloaded all and created my own repo for the scripts to work on. Second, there are a couple of srpms that are older than those present in 7.1 (with updates). Here is the relevant part of a repodiff between 7.1 (+ updates) and 7.2 (+ updates): Downgraded Packages: firefox: firefox-38.4.0-1.el7.centos -> firefox-38.3.0-2.el7.centos gmp: gmp-6.0.0-12.el7_1 -> gmp-6.0.0-11.el7 java-1.6.0-openjdk: java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.37-1.13.9.4.el7_1 -> java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.36-1.13.8.1.el7_1 ksh: ksh-20120801-22.el7_1.3 -> ksh-20120801-22.el7_1.2 libreswan: libreswan-3.15-5.el7_1 -> libreswan-3.12-10.1.el7_1 postgresql: postgresql-9.2.14-1.el7_1 -> postgresql-9.2.13-1.el7_1 Third, I found a couple of srpms with a time stamp before 2015-11-19 (GA date of RHEL 7.2) which are not in 7.1. I get the impression that they should have been updates to 7.1, but somehow never made it. When I sampled a couple, I also could not find an advisory for them on rhn. The following list might not be complete: cronie-1.4.11-14.el7.src.rpm docbook-style-dsssl-1.79-18.el7.src.rpm filesystem-3.2-20.el7.src.rpm gzip-1.5-8.el7.src.rpm kross-interpreters-4.10.5-8.el7.src.rpm less-458-9.el7.src.rpm liberation-fonts-1.07.2-15.el7.src.rpm libkkc-0.3.1-8.el7.src.rpm libmemcached-1.0.16-5.el7.src.rpm libproxy-0.4.11-8.el7.src.rpm libtar-1.2.11-29.el7.src.rpm maven-dependency-tree-2.0-7.el7.src.rpm paps-0.6.8-28.el7.1.src.rpm perl-Date-Calc-6.3-14.el7.src.rpm perl-Test-Harness-3.28-3.el7.src.rpm perl-Test-Pod-Coverage-1.08-21.el7.src.rpm perl-Test-Warn-0.24-6.el7.src.rpm phonon-4.6.0-10.el7.src.rpm python-pyudev-0.15-7.el7.src.rpm python-setuptools-0.9.8-4.el7.src.rpm python-sphinx-1.1.3-9.el7.src.rpm python-sqlalchemy-0.9.8-1.el7.src.rpm radvd-1.9.2-9.el7.src.rpm screen-4.1.0-0.21.20120314git3c2946.el7.src.rpm setup-2.8.71-6.el7.src.rpm spamassassin-3.4.0-2.el7.src.rpm star-1.5.2-13.el7.src.rpm unixODBC-2.3.1-11.el7.src.rpm xz-5.1.2-12alpha.el7.src.rpm yum-langpacks-0.4.2-4.el7.src.rpm Fourth, the extras directory seems not to be complete. I have the impression that the extras from 7.1 and 7.0 should also have been here (or maybe just a few of them) At the very least mock/pigz should be here, but also some of the python packages that are needed to build the 7.0 srpms should still be here I think. Fifth, I miss some packages in extras. python-cryptography won't build because it needs some dependencies. Apparently the deps are not shipped by RH, so they should have been in extras. The missing deps are: python-cryptography-vectors = 0.8.2 python-iso8601 python-pretend (and maybe stuff that's needed to build those) These items are all things that I can work around, but I just wanted to share my findings. Thanks for all the good work on CentOS, Jacco

What base OS should I run koji on?
by Nico Kadel-Garcia 11 Dec '15

11 Dec '15

I'm afraid thus is the third time I've tried to get koji working to submit packages for EPEL and Fedora, and once again I'm stuck. I've activated a fresh Fedora 23 build, gotten my bugzillas and credentials working, but cannot make even a scratch rebuild if an existing Fedora SRPM for proof of concept test. What base OS are people using for Koji packaging? I've built up roughly 200 SRPM kits that I publish at github.com, and I'd really like to be able to publish some of my old favorites to EPEL and Fedora.

NGINX cannot be installed. Possible to include libunwind in CentOS-Base?
by Jamie Nguyen 10 Dec '15

10 Dec '15

Hi, I'm the maintainer of NGINX package for Fedora/EPEL 7. The most commonly recommended way to install NGINX on CentOS 7 is via the EPEL 7 repository. However, for the last few days this has not been possible. libunwind is now included in RHEL 7.2 (having previously been only in EPEL 7 repo). Unfortunately, the maintainer for the RHEL libunwind broke the upgrade path by using a Release (1.1-5) lower than the EPEL libunwind (1.1-10). To fix this, libunwind got immediately retired from EPEL 7: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1288313 Unfortunately, that means libunwind cannot be installed at all on CentOS 7 unless you enable CR repository. NGINX depends on gperftools which depends on libunwind, so users cannot install NGINX: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1289073 My plan was to *unretire* libunwind from EPEL, but to avoid breaking RHEL I had to wait for the RHEL maintainer to bump the Release of libunwind on RHEL. Sadly, maintainer said this won't happen until the next batch update on January 19th. Another possibility is to remove gperftools support from NGINX, which would make NGINX installable again while waiting for the release of CentOS 7.2. However, I definitely can't take this approach as it would break NGINX for existing users who need the gperftools module and that would be even worse. So, would it be possible to include the libunwind-1.1-5 package (from CentOS-CR) in CentOS-base before CentOS 7.2 is actually released? I'm very open to hear any other suggestions of how I might fix this, but I seem to be running out of options. Kind regards, Jamie

Fwd: [Arm-dev] CentOS-userland 7 images : call for testers !
by Fabian Arrotin 04 Dec '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 In case some of the people on the centos-devel list aren't aware of the arm-dev list (https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/arm-dev) , here is mail I sent yesterday, and don't know if it can interest some of you :-) Feel free to test and join the fun on the arm-dev list ! - -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [Arm-dev] CentOS-userland 7 images : call for testers ! Date: Thu, 3 Dec 2015 17:12:04 +0000 From: Fabian Arrotin <arrfab(a)centos.org> Reply-To: Conversations around CentOS on ARM hardware <arm-dev(a)centos.org> To: Conversations around CentOS on ARM hardware <arm-dev(a)centos.org> Hi, For people with RaspberryPI2/Cubietruck/Bananapi boards, we'd like you to test the following images : http://buildlogs.centos.org/centos/7/isos/armhfp/ Please note that those are minimal, and obviously pointing to empty yum repositories (nothing released yet), but testing-base and testing-extras (pointing to buildlogs.centos.org) can be used. Be aware that the first goal is just to validate that images are working as expected, so packages in the testing-base repo are kept to almost minimal ! (more to come later after validation, etc) Selinux notes : selinux is disabled in the rpi2 image (no support - yet- in the specific kernel for that). It's actually in permissive mode (due to the way images were generated) in the cubietruck/bananapi images but can be put in enforcing mode with a relabel of the filesystem (takes ~5 minutes on my cubietruck ) There is the rootfs-resize-2.0-5.el7.noarch pkg that has been added, so follow the instructions in /root/README if you want to automatically resize/expand / to maximum We'd like to inject some helper scripts for that before release time (all those images are based on 7.1511 packages) The other important remark is that it's called "userland" as packages for RootFS are indeed the ones used in CentOS 7.1511, but kernel are different (4.2.3 for cubietruck/bananapi and 4.1.11 for rpi2) All comments/feedback are welcome ! Happy testing ! _______________________________________________ Arm-dev mailing list Arm-dev(a)centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/arm-dev -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlZhmIoACgkQnVkHo1a+xU6IhwCfagmus8EcdILTPWr+vVnnGIzR voIAn03tuKplpuHqKyDY+cFy4SqrISor =V446 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
