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

by Xiandong Meng 14 Jun '16

Hi all, I noticed that there are centos 7 cloud images for x86. But i did not find the cloud images for ppc64le. Are there any work on it within this community? Or is there any plan to work on it? Regards, Xiandong Meng <mengxiandong(a)gmail.com> mengxiandong(a)gmail.com

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. I don't believe meetbot will be able to recover gracefully from this action. 2015-12-03T16:45:15 <tmrts> this was a week ago and he said that we should start by contributing to coreos-ci 2015-12-03T16:45:34 <dustymabe> tmrts: ok cool 2015-12-03T16:46:05 <dustymabe> basically what we need to do is float the idea of the combined organization with them 2015-12-03T16:46:34 <dustymabe> and as long as they understand that is our goal and they agree it is their goal too then I don't see any problem with contributing code to their GH for now 2015-12-03T16:46:40 <Bahhumbug> If anyone needs raw bot logs from the meeting (sans the ~2 minutes it was down, obviously) please ping me and I will be happy to provide them. 2015-12-03T16:46:46 <dustymabe> to ease the migration to the new org 2015-12-03T16:47:06 <tmrts> I'll mention that we'd be more comfortable with a combined organization and help with the migration 2015-12-03T16:47:16 <dustymabe> Bahhumbug: jbrooks will probably need them to post to the list 2015-12-03T16:47:19 *** paragan <paragan!~paragan@unaffiliated/paragan> has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection) 2015-12-03T16:47:27 <dustymabe> tmrts: feel free to add me to the emails 2015-12-03T16:47:41 <tmrts> yeah I'll cc you 2015-12-03T16:47:56 <dustymabe> thanks 2015-12-03T16:47:56 <Bahhumbug> Ping me at the end of your meeting and I'll make them available.

Thanks for CentOS 7 ppc64!
by Bryson Lee 17 Feb '16

17 Feb '16

Just a quick note to thank all involved in the ppc64 AltArch effort! Was able to get one of our IBM 812L’s up and running very quickly after importing the Everything ISO into our Cobbler environment. Next I’ll try rebuilding some of the packages that we need for 32-bit ppc… Thanks again for all the great work!

ABRT reporting workflow
by Jakub Filak 15 Feb '16

15 Feb '16

Hello, Let me briefly re-introduce my self. I work on ABRT and I was involved in the integration of ABRT with CentOS Bug Tracker. I want to let you know that we are re-working ABRT reporting workflow in order to reduce the number of opened bug reports. Our current mission is to encourage users to open "full bug report" (i.e. issue in CentOS Bug Tracker) only if they want to participate in bug resolving process and submit anonymous crash statics [1][2] otherwise. We are going to let users choose from reporting options similar the following ones: * [Submit anonymous crash details] - [I do not want to participate in bug resolution process] * [Enter new bug report] - [I want to help to fix this bug and I need to have it fixed as soon as possible] These changes should land in CentOS 7 too. Ideas and suggestions are more than welcome. Best regards, Jakub 1: https://github.com/abrt/faf/wiki/uReport 2: https://retrace.fedoraproject.org/faf/summary/?opsysreleases=71

[altarch] multiarch docker images
by Manfred Touron 08 Feb '16

08 Feb '16

Hi everyone, I'm working at Scaleway on the multiarch images system, I'm @moul on IRC and talked with @Arrfab and @Evolution (thanks a lot, guys). --- Context: Today, we are using Docker as a build-step to generate our baremetal servers rootfs, what we call, the "Scaleway images". Here is an example of "1 click app" image: - Public Hub: https://hub.scaleway.com/wordpress.html - DevHub (aggregate APIs): http://devhub.scaleway.com/#/images/wordpress:latest - Source (GitHub): https://github.com/scaleway-community/scaleway-wordpress/ - Docker Hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/scaleway/wordpress/ - Build logs: https://travis-ci.org/scaleway/qa/builds/98515979 We are quite happy today with this method and are succesfully running plenty Linux distributions (Ubuntu, openSUSE, Gentoo, Fedora, Debian, Arch Linux and Alpine Linux). Actually we also have a proof-of-concept of CentOS image, but based on an old development CubieTruck snapshot with no public mirrors. Here is how I built this POC image (I wasn't aware of virt-tar-out): https://github.com/armbuild/centos-img/blob/master/buildcontainers.sh --- We will soon release new server models with new architectures, our next priorities are: `arm64` and `x86_64`, but we plan to support more architectures if we feel enough people will need it so the development worth it. I started to work on "multiarch" images (one image per architecture). Here are some images: - https://github.com/multiarch/alpine -> built with `apk-static` in a chroot - https://github.com/multiarch/busybox -> static binaries extracted from latest busybox-static.deb - https://github.com/multiarch/ubuntu-debootstrap -> qemu-debootstrap - https://github.com/multiarch/debian-debootstrap -> same as above - https://github.com/multiarch/ubuntu-core -> based on released rootfs tarballs at https://partner-images.canonical.com/core/wily/current/ All those images also contains an `x86_64` `qemu-${ARCH}-static` so you can run them on an `x86_64` host with `binfmt-support` available. Look at the README.md files for usage and examples. I began to work on the Centos image https://github.com/multiarch/centos, I successfully built the `armhf` and `arm64` images by `virt-tar-out`ing the CubieTruck released image, i.e.: http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7.2.1511/isos/armhfp/ I also successfully built the `x86_64` and `i386` images using kickstart: livemedia-creator --arch=i386 --make-disk \ --iso=/tmp/boot7-i386.iso \ --ks=$(pwd)/centos-7.ks \ --image-name=centos-7-base-i386 based on https://github.com/CentOS/sig-cloud-instance-build/tree/livemedia_builds/do… For now I failed to build the `ppc64` nor `ppc64le` images, but that's not a priority. I have now an issue, my `armhf` and `x86_64` images are not the same, the ones based on real boards .img.xz embed about 300M of kernel images, dtb, kernel modules, firmware (I don't want them) + a lot more apps that we can find by default in the <200Mb `x86_64` Docker image. I would like to find a solution to build "same" images for all the targets and avoid as much as possible the need of diffing the outputs of `yum list installed`. My favorite solution would be to use kickstart files, which are very cool to put on GitHub. But the non `x86_64` architectures lack of a `boot.iso` file packing `isolinux`. Is it possible to add those `boot.iso` files on the mirror or tell me how to build them ? Do you see alternative ways to build identical images ? -- Manfred Touron - @moul CTO @ scaleway.com

SIG-Paas request
by Troy Dawson 04 Feb '16

04 Feb '16

Hi, As a member of the OpenShift project, I am trying to get OpenShift Origin into CentOS. This effort would create CentOS OpenShift Origin rpm's, along with their dependencies. It would also involve creating CentOS OpenShift Origin docker images. It could also involve creating virtual machine and/or cloud images. Virtual machine and cloud images are not part of our original wants and needs, but if someone were to help create them, we wouldn't say no. I am requesting a SIG, named SIG-Paas. If the committee feels that is too broad, then we would like SIG-OpenShift. Thank You Troy Dawson

Yum missing from Atomic image
by Bent Terp 04 Feb '16

04 Feb '16

Hi, this may be a deliberate choice but I can't really figure out why one would make that decision... [centos@atomic ~]$ sudo yum update sudo: yum: command not found [centos@atomic ~]$ rpm -ql yum | grep bin /usr/bin/yum [centos@atomic ~]$ ls -l /usr/bin/yum ls: cannot access /usr/bin/yum: No such file or directory [centos@atomic ~]$ I used the latest http://cloud.centos.org/centos/7/atomic/images/CentOS-Atomic-Host-7-Generic… in an RDO deploy. I don't experience the same issue with the regular image only with the Atomic. regards, Bent

How to create CentOS 7.2 ppc64 image
by Vit Ry 30 Jan '16

30 Jan '16

Hi all. How can I create CentOS 7.2 image for ppc64 arch? Are there any scripts, guides, etc..(is it open source..?)? What is difference between build envs for RH 7.0 and CentOS 7.2 ..? I see, RH uses yaboot as bootloader and so on, when C7.2 - uses grub... --- Regards, Vit Ry.

Fwd: sig-core-t_functional suite for 7.2.1511
by Thierry Fauck＠linux.vnet.ibm.com 29 Jan '16

29 Jan '16

As talked earlier today, Here are my comments - I understand they are mostly related to the environment it is running into, but it may be interesting to look into it to improve the cases. Regards Thierry (nick - thf ) -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: sig-core-t_functional suite for 7.2.1511 Date: Tue, 22 Dec 2015 11:14:29 +0100 From: Thierry Fauck(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com <thierry(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com> To: centos-qa(a)centos.org Hello, While checking the suite for ppc64 and ppc64le, I got the following changes and comment - let me know if you want a diff file. - runtest.sh If script fails and you relaunch it a second time, you may get a failure because tests users are already created - I suggested to remove all test users in runtests.sh to have a clean environment. In t_CheckExitStatus shouldn't we add the test name being run to ease tracing and script debugging like ? [ $1 -eq 0 ] && { t_Log "$0 PASS"; return $PASS; } - Depending on your setting, you may come with LC_ALL setting as utf8 or C and 10-cmp-tests may fails - checking for byte or char would allow both settings to be run. cmp -i 15:16 ${FILE}a ${FILE}b | egrep -q "byte 1, line 1|char 1, line 1"|| ExitFail - tests/p_mtr/mtr_test.sh fails if you are not in the centos.org env as it tries to reach the qa host. As this test is done at start of runtest.sh, in case it is not true, shouldn't you use another hosts found on your local network (an easy bypass is to use like the local DNS server or the gateway ?). - p_shadow-utils/20-chage_tests may fails because of capital letters jan versus Jan - I would suggest to use chage -l testshadow | grep Last | grep -qi "Jan 01, 2013" - tests/p_shim/01_shim_secureboot_signed.sh tests/p_kernel/02_kernel_secureboot_signed.sh are x86_64 dependant - Had to increase -T delay from 2 to 8 in tests/p_squid/squid_test.sh - tests/p_systemd/25-journalctl.sh - for fast processors, you need to had a delay for journalctl to cope with your message - I added a sleep 1 after writting to /dev/kmsg - tests/p_which/which_basic.sh - sounds like wich is now in /bin instead of /usr/bin - /usr/bin/which which | grep -q "/bin/which" would cope with both cases Hope that helps -- Thierry
