enhancing /etc/*-release
by Karanbir Singh 06 Apr '15

06 Apr '15

hi, We have spent a lot of time working out how best to work the /etc/centos-release file in order to satisfy most use cases. We've had a lot of positive feedback on the three digit release numbering that went into the first CentOS-7 release. And in the coming months, as the rolling builds onramp we will start seeing movement around those. This will also help address some points learned from the community during the 7.0.1406 cycle. We have also decided to split the /etc/redhat-release link to /etc/centos-release and use that as a way to better indicate what codebase the running CentOS Linux instance was derived from. Examples of what these files will look like in say March 2015 ( if .1 is released upstream by then ): ------------------- /etc/centos-release: CentOS Linux release 7.1.1503 (Core) /etc/redhat-release Derived from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1 (Source) ------------------- The /etc/os-release file remains unchaged to indicate CentOS-7 as being the distro being consumed. We will however, be adding ABRT specific content to the os-release file once we have bugs.centos.org setup to accept abrt requests - and we have the required patched rolled out into the distro. These additions will have no impact on numbering reported via tools that consume /etc/os-release. The /etc/centos-release file will then evolve with every monthly release, with the updated file being pushed into updates repo. This implies if someone was to install from the March rolling build, their /etc/centos-release will already have 7.1.1503 and anyone having a previously installed machine, doing a yum update would see the same file drop in. The net result is an impact for new people installing from rolling build media ( and instance media like live images, cloud images, containers etc ). One installed or running, there is no change to how CentOS Linux has been in the past. You just get regular updates, and any machine, regardless of how it was installed and when, updated to the same point in time will have identical content. -- 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

Building Centos 7 Cloud images
by Andrei DRAGOMIR 02 Apr '15

02 Apr '15

Hi, I have a question related to the cloud images available here: http://cloud.centos.org/centos/7/images/ 1. How do I build an image ? I looked at the source repos on git.centos.org, the closest one seems to be the sig-cloud-instance/build-instance repository, but I cannot find centos 7 related kickstarts in there. (I am assuming that the images are being built in an automated fashion, using unattended installation) Thank you, Andrei Dragomir -- /A

Reg: Documentation Toolchain [GSOC]
by kunaal jain 02 Apr '15

02 Apr '15

Hi guys, I have submitted my proposal on google-melange. I have been active in discussion regarding this on centos-docs as well with Karsten. I have created a small demo tool chain, to have a clarity on how process will flow and how site can be generated on git commits and deploying to hosting platform. You can find the code as well as the live version at : https://github.com/kunaaljain/test-centos-docs Please have a look at the proposal and the sample code I have written and give suggestions on how I can improve the proposal. Please note that the sample code is written for testing purpose, the actual toolchain may not use the open source tools I am using in it. Regards, Kunal Jain

Notes from today's Cloud SIG Meeting. We were pleased to have NuxRo from the Apache CloudStack community in attendance, and a major topic of conversation was how CloudStack can get involved in what we're doing, benefit from the CI effort, and various other cloud-init related discussions. Thank you all for your time and participation.

Re: [CentOS-devel] xapi on CentOS 6
by George Dunlap 01 Apr '15

01 Apr '15

KB / Jonathan / Others, One of our potential GSoC students, Guatam Malu, has proposed trying to include xapi packages in the "Xen in a Box" project. He's gotten packages of xapi building for CentOS 6.6 using XenServer's buildroot (see below). The only potential issue I see is about signing. As I understand it, xapi requires a newer version of ocaml than is available in C6. The XenServer buildroot includes (and I think builds) a newer version of ocaml; but (again I think) xapi is statically linked, so the new ocaml packages are only required for build, and not for runtime. At the moment Jonathan is trying to work with one of the other SIGs to get the necessary ocaml support; it's not clear when that will happen. Until that time, the only way to get xapi packages built in koji by the Virt SIG would be to also include the newer version of ocaml (and whatever other dependencies there are), which we'd like to avoid. So the question is: Do we need to have all the packages on "Xen in a Box" CD signed with the CentOS SIG key? If so, do we see any likelihood that this might be possible by July -- either having a suitable ocaml to build against in koji, or getting the packages built and signed some other way?
