contributing to the centos sources
by Karanbir Singh 06 Mar '15

06 Mar '15

hi folks, Since this came up a few times, I've now added a small example on howto contribute to the centos sources to the bottom of this page : http://wiki.centos.org/Sources tldr: git clong <repo> git checkout c7 ( if you want centos7 sources ) (workout what the changeset is going to be, get_sources etc ) git checkout -b <newbranch> <do your work > git commit <more work> git commit git format-patch c7 ( to compare your work set to c7 branch ) : email the .patch files to the centos-devel list here, as attachments, ensure you have the spec file changelog updated as well in the patches. Regards, -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

Should I read up on the documentation to get to know about these things ?? Regards, Vasu Bhardwaj

SCL and git 2.X
by Vacelet, Manuel 05 Mar '15

05 Mar '15

Hi all, I'm not sure I'm posting to the right place. If it's not I would be pleased if you could point me to the relevant place! TL;DR: I need recent version of git (2.3 ATM) and I need it on centos6 and centos7. For the time being, I managed to rebuild RH git19 scl for centos6 (last time I checked it was not already part of centos SCL but I might be wrong). My question is: is there other persons here interested by a recent, community supported, version of git ? and if yes, how can this be done (a SIG?) ?

Hi, I'm a final year undergraduate student at Delhi Technological University,India. My branch is Software Engineering. I have a fair knowledge of Operating Systems theory. I find this area quite interesting and would like to gain practical knowledge in the same. My current experience in this area is limited to building the linux kernel from source and booting it on my laptop. Can you assign me an easy task so I could familiarise myself with the project?? Regards, Vasu Bhardwaj

CentOS SCLo SIG sync-up meeting on #centos-devel (2015-03-04)
by Honza Horak 04 Mar '15

04 Mar '15

WG meeting will be at 16:00 UTC (11:00 EST, 17:00 Brno, 11:00 Boston, 1:00+1d Tokyo, 2:00+1d Brisbane) in #centos-devel on Freenode. There have been few topics mentioned on ML quite recently, so we can try to find some solution for those during the meeting. = Topics = * how final repos for SCLs should look like * what will be CBS tags for those * NVR policy for updating (can testing overload stable?) * conflicting NVRs in CBS (building from srpm vs. from scm)

ABRT reporting to CentOS Bug Trucker
by Jakub Filak 04 Mar '15

04 Mar '15

Hello, as you might have noticed, ABRT has added support for direct reporting to CentOS Bug Trucker: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2015-February/012732.html We are keen to include those patches in CentOS-7.1 but the patches need 4 new fields added to /etc/os-release. The first two fields are for CentOS Bug Tracker and the last two fields are for Retrace server: https://fedorahosted.org/abrt/wiki/AbrtRetraceServer Would it be possible to add these fields with their values to /etc/os-release: CENTOS_MANTISBT_PROJECT="CentOS-7" CENTOS_MANTISBT_PROJECT_VERSION="7" REDHAT_SUPPORT_PRODUCT="centos" REDHAT_SUPPORT_PRODUCT_VERSION="7" One may complain that ABRT can guess these values from the already existing fields, but we have been burned by this approach too many times. Kind regards, Jakub

Some quick notes on Atomic Vagrant builds in the CBS
by Ian McLeod 04 Mar '15

04 Mar '15

All, As of about a week ago, we've been able to build Vagrant boxes containing the CentOS Atomic build in the CBS. I've put up an example script in my development fork of the Atomic SIG repo here: https://github.com/imcleod/sig-atomic-buildscripts/tree/devel-cbs-script The "do_vagrant_cbs.sh" script in particular will flatten the atomic/vagrant kickstart files and kick off a scratch build. This assumes you have access to the CBS and have set up a koji profile called "cbs" pointing at the CentOS infra. Details here: http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/CommunityBuildSystem Here's a successful scratch build: https://cbs.centos.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=7820 Note that the output is, for the moment, confusingly named. The Vagrant Virtualbox ".box" file (most commonly used on Mac) has the extension ".vsphere.ova" The Vagrant KVM/libvirt ".box file has the extension ".rhevm.ova" -Ian

GSOC 2015- Rootfs build factory implementation
by Saket Sinha 04 Mar '15

04 Mar '15

Hi, I am looking forward to paticipate in GSOC 2015 With CentOS community in Rootfs build factory implementation for ARM and other platforms. This is to discuss the idea further in order to build my understanding of the project. ARM is now supported by most of Linux distors. To discuss a few we have Debian, Fedora, Gentoo Linux, Arch Linux etc. Debain has something called debootstrap for creating an architecture specific rootfs. Fedora uses fedora remix for supporting different non-x86 boards(or platforms). >From http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/Creating_Remixes what I could find that you can create your own fedora remix by using a tool called appliance-tools over a fedora disk image. So here are we trying to implement a similar implementation for CentOS ? Please let me know if my understanding of the project is right. Regards, Saket Sinha

Getting started with testing CentOS Atomic Host and the ostree repo
by Karanbir Singh 03 Mar '15

03 Mar '15

Hi, I've started working on : https://github.com/kbsingh/atomic-ci A set of automation scripts that test if the CentOS Atomic Image is functional, and can be updated using the default CentOS ostree repos. The intention is to make sure we are always shipping content that meets some basic minimal criteria and matches the user experience we document. The test harness is taken from the t_functional suite, so its all very simple bash driven, easily extended in any language. The overall aim for this specific suite is to get the CentOS Atomic host image, sanity check it, get the cloud-init config drive stuff built, get an instance running and then make sure the instance comes up with some baseline functionality. We can then do some atomic updates inside and make sure the image can be 'reverted' etc. I've made a start, all help appreciated. Once we have an end to end test setup, we can move the code to git.centos.org and setup the on demand and nightly runs. -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc
