forums + portal for {lang}.centos.org sites

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

NFV SIG - update
by Dave Neary 30 May '17

30 May '17

Hi, There has been a recent resurgence of interest in the NFV SIG, and in the interest of keeping the momentum going, I would like to step aside as SIG char, and recommend that Tom Herbert take over. Tom has taken on the packaging and building of VPP and DPDK-accelerated OVS for OPNFV, and has been active in the SIG in recent weeks, and I think he will help add the structure that has been sorely lacking from me in recent months. I'm not sure what the process is for replacing a SIG chair - can someone let us know, please? Thanks, Dave. -- Dave Neary - NFV/SDN Community Strategy Open Source and Standards, Red Hat - http://community.redhat.com Ph: +1-978-399-2182 / Cell: +1-978-799-3338

Openshift Origin Containers for v1.2.1 and v1.3 on container pipeline.
by Mohammed Ahmed 07 Oct '16

07 Oct '16

Hi, We currently have openshift origin containers being delivered through the Container Pipeline. However, with the release of openshift origin 1.3, we have to consider how we are going to deliver containers for v1.2.1 and v1.3. Currently, the dockerfiles basically do a yum install origin[1] and other origin packages. This could possibly result in the latest origin rpms being used even in 1.2.1 containers. We need to consider how we are going to differentiate the versions. Even if there aren't any updates to 1.2 containers on toe repos, its still possible the containers might get rebuilt from other triggers, such as base image rebuilds and so on. KB, Troy Dawson, thoughts? Others are welcome to chime in as well.

Ceph 10.2.3 packages
by Mohammed Naser 29 Sep '16

29 Sep '16

Hi everyone, Ceph has released their 10.2.3 packages a few hours ago and the packages cover many fixes including an important one that blocks upgrades from Hammer for OSDs which had their placement group numbers changed. http://tracker.ceph.com/issues/16672 This is included in the new 10.2.3 release and I would like to know if we can get those packages into the storage SIG. I am also offering my help if needed to do the work required to get it done, as it's pretty important for us to continue with the upgrades of our Ceph cluster. Thanks! Mohammed

CentOS 6 images bug
by Mohammed Naser 27 Sep '16

27 Sep '16

Hi everyone, We've just finished setting up CD to get images shipped into our public cloud with more automation and noticed that the link pointing from the unversioned file to the latest release is not properly done for CentOS 6. http://cloud.centos.org/centos/6/images/ If you notice, CentOS-6-x86_64-GenericCloud.qcow2 has a date of 2016-07-29 which matches the CentOS-6-x86_64-GenericCloud-1607.qcow2 release. However, there is a newer release which is CentOS-6-x86_64-GenericCloud-1608.qcow2 It seems this problem does not exist for CentOS 7, but perhaps someone forgot to point things over when they were done! Thank you, Mohammed

Origin 1.3 on CentOS testing
by Christoph Goern 27 Sep '16

27 Sep '16

Hey all, yesterday and today I had a few runs to install and extend Origin 1.3 on CentOS. All seem to work pretty well, I did different permutations of masters/nodes all based on this inventory file at [1] and using openshift-ansible master to do the install. Infrastructure was Vagrant with the latest CentOS box, see [2] for known issues ;) //G [1] https://github.com/goern/my-openshift-origin/blob/centos7/inventory.ini [2] https://seven.centos.org/2016/09/updated-centos-vagrant-images-available-v1… -- Principal Software Engineer - Systems Design & Engineering Mobile: +49 171 2801345 Red Hat GmbH, http://www.de.redhat.com/, Sitz: Grasbrunn, Handelsregister: Amtsgericht München, HRB 153243, Geschäftsführer: Charles Cachera, Michael Cunningham, Michael O'Neill, Eric Shander

How to package repo files for Long/Short Term Maintenance versions?
by Niels de Vos 27 Sep '16

27 Sep '16

Hi, In the Storage SIG we provide different versions of Gluster. The new upstream release schedule[0] defines two different types of releases: a. Long Term Maintenance - gets updates for ~12 months b. Short Term Maintenance - gets updates for ~3 months The actual time depends a little on how releases are keeping their schedule (a release every 3 months). There are two Long Term Maintenance versions active at a time. The Short Term Maintenance releases provide early access to new features, and are recommended only for early adopters and users who do not mind upgrading their storage environment everye 3 months. This makes for an interesting packaging problem. We would like our users to be able to install the Gluster packages with a command as simple as this: # yum install centos-release-gluster # yum install glusterfs-server Users should not need to care (or know) about the actual version they are installing. Currently Gluster 3.8 is provided by the c-r-gluster38 package, with a "Provides: centos-release-gluster = 3.8". When I add a new c-r-gluster39 package, with a similar "Provides:", I do not want users to get the 3.9 version by default. Users should get the Long Term Maintenance versions, and only opt-in on the Short Term Maintenance version. But, on the other hand, an installed 3.9 version should be usable for other SIGs that depend on Gluster (like the Virt SIG for oVirt). Currently I am thinking to do the "Provides:" like: # Users can install centos-release-gluster to get the latest, but we # do not want to have 3.9 (Short Term Stable) to be selected when # users do install the virtual centos-release-gluster package. Provides: centos-release-gluster = 0.3.9 Conflicts: centos-release-gluster < 0.3.9 Obsoletes: centos-release-gluster < 0.3.9 Existing (all Long Term Stable) release packages do not have the 0. prefix: # Users can install centos-release-gluster to get the latest Provides: centos-release-gluster = 3.8 Conflicts: centos-release-gluster < 3.8 Obsoletes: centos-release-gluster < 3.8 We do not want automatic updating/replacing of the release package in any case (might need manual intervention for major releases). The current approach works sufficiently well. Except for the potential issue where other SIGs/projects depend on 'centos-release-gluster >= 3.8'. This will not work with the 3.9 release package. I am hoping others can suggest a more elegant solution that addresses all of these use-cases. Many thanks! Niels 0. https://www.gluster.org/community/release-schedule/
