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

[Storage SIG] Adding new package glusterfs-coreutils to the CBS
by Niels de Vos 01 Oct '15

01 Oct '15

Hi Lala, Today I've prepared the glusterfs-coreutils package for the Storage SIG. Everything works fine, but there is one thing I am unable to get done. Maybe I am missing certain permissions? The new glusterfs-coreutils package would need to be added to the CBS. This fails for me: $ koji -p centos \ add-pkg --owner storage \ storage6-gluster-common-candidate glusterfs-coreutils SSLError: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:590) Doing scratch-builds works fine, so I doubt that the issue really is the SSL-certificate. Could you let me know if I am doing something wrong, or if it is expected that I can not add new packages? Thanks, Niels

Atomic SIG: Joint Test Day with Fedora Atomic Folks
by Dusty Mabe 10 Sep '15

10 Sep '15

Hi All, There has been some discussion of doing a joint test day with Fedora and CentOS atomic folks. Fedora is having a test day for Fedora Cloud base on 9/8 (all are welcome to join us). We were thinking about having the joint Fedora/CentOS test day on the following Tuesday (9/15). Is this something everyone is interested in? To do the test day it would be worth having a test day page like [1] and some test cases for people to execute. These test cases can probably overlap with the one's fedora has.

Fedora Collaboration
by Mike Ruckman 31 Aug '15

31 Aug '15

Greetings centos-devel! My name is Mike Ruckman and I'm working with the Fedora Cloud WG helping coordinate testing. There's been some discussions on IRC regarding Fedora and CentOS working together and I was asked to send a mail to the list with times and places for some of our meetings. Fedora QA --------- This is the group the Cloud WG has to work with to ensure that things are tested well enough - they do the final sign off after the WG has tested it's release items. They meet Mondays at 1500 UTC in #fedora-meeting on freenode. Fedora QA Devel --------------- This group is currently working on taskotron [0] and they maintain all of our QA applications. The Cloud WG will be working with them on getting some automated testing in place sometime in the future. They meet at 1400 UTC in #fedora-meeting-1 on freenode on Mondays. Fedora Cloud ------------ This one is pretty explanatory. We work on the cloud products for Fedora. The base image, docker image, atomic host and Vagrant boxes. We meet on Wednesdays at 1900 UTC in #fedora-meeting on freenode. There has also been talk of attempting to do a joint test day [1] for Atomic sometime in September. If there's enough interest, we can start planning and advertising for it now. Thanks! Let me know if you have any questions - or find me on irc. I'm roshi on freenode.

Embargoed content in CBS
by Johnny Hughes 28 Aug '15

28 Aug '15

We have a need to be able to generate embargoed content for SIGs. As an example, Xen publishes embargoed content where we need to apply patches, build an SRPM and then binary RPMs. We can not do this in an open build system as the content must be embargoed until after the release date. What I think we need is password protected input and builds in the CBS and password protected repos for the resultant RPMs. We could then control access to those specific locations via login. Does the current version of koji support that? If not, we could create an embargoed build area(s) in the current CentOS build system, where the output of the build system is not transferred to buildlogs.centos.org .. but I would also need to point to the proper repos in the CBS as well. Who, besides the Xen rpms in the virt SIG might need this embargoed build capability? Thanks, Johnny Hughes

Central Auth: Group naming and Process Proposal
by Brian Stinson 18 Aug '15

18 Aug '15

Hi All, We're working on testing instances of FAS for storing our user/group membership information used by the CBS. I'd like to talk about group naming and the permissions model to get some input. The goal is to get these discussions going so we can set up our test environment to mirror what we'll roll out in production. Consider this a proposal, and please send comments my way (on-list please!). Groups will use the convention 'sig-<shortname>', for example: people in the Cloud SIG will be members of the FAS group 'sig-cloud'. This convention will allow push access in dist-git to any branch that starts with sig-cloud (sig-cloud7, sig-cloud7-openstack, sig-cloud7-openstack-juno) and grant build permissions under the SIG tags in Koji[0]. FAS has 3 types of membership in a group: Admin, Sponsor, and User. All 3 levels will be granted commit/build permissions, while only Admins and Sponsors can modify members of the group. To match our permissions model[1], I propose: - We populate the 'Accounts' (Global Admin) group with the members of the CentOS Board. - The Board member responsible for each SIG will create the appropriate SIG group in FAS - The Board member will add him/herself as an admin of the group - The Board member will sponsor the SIG Chair as a sponsor for the group - From then on, the SIG Chair and Board member can sponsor others into the group as users (and optionally add more sponsors to the group) Anyone have thoughts? Once we reach consensus, I'll get this written up for the SIG wiki page. Cheers!

integrating cbs.centos.org repos with ci jobs at ci.centos.org
by Karanbir Singh 14 Aug '15

14 Aug '15

hi guys, Can we get some notes on the wiki ( maybe in the GettingStarted guide for the CI users ), on how they can track the cbs repos for new content and trigger builds from there. I know we do this already for the cloud-sig, openstack packstack validation run, but its a feature that we can use in quite a few places.

[Introduction] Social Media Policies for CentOS
by Brian Proffitt 13 Aug '15

13 Aug '15

Hello to all: My name is Brian Proffitt, a social media and community analyst with Red Hat. The main focus of my work is to assist free and open source software projects with which Red Hat is involved to improve their social media planning and execution. CentOS has a broad and diverse social media implementation, which I believe could be improved using a coordinated set of guidelines regarding content discovery and delivery, as well as engagement with the different audiences found in various social media channels. To that end, I would like to begin a conversation here with interested members of the CentOS community and its Moderators Group to see what resources are needed, what improvements could be made, and how CentOS' social media could become an even more powerful tool within and without the CentOS community. The information attached is a first-step proposal to get such a conversation started. I look forward to the discussion! Peace, Brian Proffitt -- Principal Community Analyst Open Source and Standards bkp(a)redhat.com +1.574.383.9BKP

Adding geo distributed builder hardware for cbs.centos.org
by Karanbir Singh 11 Aug '15

11 Aug '15

hi, What are the main concerns for hosting some builder hardware geo-distributed from the main koji hub ? Apart from the latency thing, but given that most builders spend all their time in mock root builds and then the rpmbuild, if we can get gbit links to the remote machines, we should be ok right ? 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

Working Documentation Toolchain [GSoC]
by kunaal jain 04 Aug '15

04 Aug '15

Hi, The basic toolchain is up and running. I encourage community to test this workflow once. It is an addition to the existing contributing mediums. Site: http://clown-olga-13325.bitballoon.com/ Contributing Docs repo : https://github.com/kunaaljain/test-centos-docs ==AIM== Initial Idea : http://wiki.centos.org/GSoC/2015/Ideas#docs-toolchain The CentOS Project needs more short-form contributions of content that focuses on how-to do things on top of a CentOS Linux installation, with a method to push changes in to appropriate and related upstream open source projects. There is a lot of content scattered across the Internet on how to do things with CentOS Linux. The goal of this toolchain is to make it easy for people to contribute new, short-form content articles to the Project with an ability to push them outward to relevant upstream projects. ==Workflow== 1. The user authors content in markdown format and creates a pull request on Github. 2. The backend service mirrors the pull request to pagure and creates a issue. 3. The doc is built and a link is provided to preview the doc. 5. Staff reviews the docs, gives comments either on pagure or github (two way synced) 4. Once the staff approves the doc is built and doc site updated. ==Infra== 1. A backend server listing to Github and Pagure webhooks and mirroring content. 2. A http site displaying the temporary docs. 3. A pagure instance ==Testing == 1. Fork the https://github.com/kunaaljain/test-centos-docs 2. Add new content to docs folder in mardown language. 3. Update the mkdocs.yml file and add the new file you just created with appropriate heading. 4. Create a pull request. 5. Within 15-20 seconds, a comment will be made on pull request, with the pagure link, which displaying various metadata. 6. Once the staff approves, PR is merged and site updated at http://clown-olga-13325.bitballoon.com/ -- Regards, Kunaal Jain

Testing CentOS as a hypervisor in different scenarios
by Karanbir Singh 04 Aug '15

04 Aug '15

Hi, this has come up in a few conversations, and its worth looking into. Various efforts including the CentOS Cloud Instance SIG, would like to test their VM instances under a CentOS 6/7 hypervisor setup. I am sure the Virt SIG guys would like to also have these VM instances tested on hypervisors and environments they curate. Whats the best way to move forward on this ? I am going to propose asking the various efforts ( eg. cloud sig, virt sig ) to help setup the environments like openstack, centos-kvm, centos-xen, ovirt etc; and provide a single mechanism that can be used via jenkins at ci.centos.org to grab, test, report on machine instance states. The cycle would need to run via triggers at ci.centos.org, and it would ideally be run for the entire set of environments we can bring up. thoughts ? -- 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

[NFV SIG][CBS]Understanding a bit more the NFV SIG builds and repos
by Joseph Gasparakis 03 Aug '15

03 Aug '15

Hi all, I finally put some time aside to move forward with building RPMs for DPDK 2.0 for the CentOS NFV SIG. In particular, I used pretty much the same spec file from Red Hat (made sure the RPM release matches what CBS expects for release) and I created package dpdk-2.0.0-1.el7.centos with buildID 1476. I am guessing I really should have built dpdk-2.0.0-8.el7.centos as I have kept all the changelog intact which goes up to number 8, and also keep it in sync with the Red Hat version? Any comments on that? Then my next question is that I noticed that following my successful build, kojira created task 16722 in order to create a new repo, which makes sense. According to that, since my RPM has tag nfv7-common-el7-build the dpdk rpm should apear on centos7-updates external repo, right? Following to this (and if I am right so far) shouldn't there be a specific repo for NFV SIG instead of centos7-updates which is a standard external repo? I have some more questions, but I will pause here if someone could shed some lights, that would be great. Thanks Joseph
