ksplice and CentOS
by Karanbir Singh 25 Sep '25

25 Sep '25

hi guys, lots of people on this list are keen on contributing to the CentOS effort - and one place where we could, as a group of people, make a massive difference is being able to deliver a ksplice upgrade model. A couple of people have started in silo's to try and get something together but I feel it might be a good time to try and see if we can do somethng as a group. Do we have people on the list who find the idea of rebootless kernel upgrades interesting ? Is there some desire to try and make that happen within the CentOS Ecosystem ? - KB

anaconda dependency calculation?
by Nicholas Byrne 04 Aug '25

04 Aug '25

Hi all, I'm trying to find a tool that calculates all dependencies for a specific package or group of packages for use with CentOS 5 (beta) with the intention of putting together a custom single CD build of CentOS 5. With CentOS 4 i used a python script that used the hdrlist module to find all dependencies which borrowed code from a number of sources. I've looked at yumdownloader and how it checks dependencies (using the --resolve option) but if i pass it the list of packages defined in say the Base and the Core yum groups which generally form an absolute minimal install i end up with about 200 packages. If i do a custom install (using beta 1 disks) and deselect everything i end up with over 300 packages. So i'm guessing anaconda calculates dependencies in a slightly different way, can anyone point me to files/code where i should be looking to find out?

forums + portal for {lang}.centos.org sites
by Karanbir Singh 16 Aug '24

16 Aug '24

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

[Infra] - Pre-announced major outage for several services (please read)
by Fabian Arrotin 08 Mar '17

08 Mar '17

Due to some reorganization at the DC/Cage level, we'll have to shutdown/move/reconfigure a big part of our hosted infra for the following services : - cbs.centos.org (Koji) - accounts.centos.org (auth backend) - ci.centos.org (jenkins-driven CI environment) We're working on a plan to minimize the downtime/reconfiguration part, but at first sight, due to the hardware move of the racks/recabling parts/etc, the announced downtime will be probably ~48h. What does that mean ? That during this window, nobody will be able to build/tests packages, nor be able to triggers automatically CI jobs (important). We don't have the final dates confirmed (yet) but it seems that the migration will be scheduled for March 14th. We'll keep you informed when we'll have confirmation about those dates. Feel free to answer in this thread, or find us in #centos-devel on freenode. -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | http://www.centos.org gpg key: 56BEC54E | twitter: @arrfab

Questions about NFV Sig and Repos
by Thomas F Herbert 23 Feb '17

23 Feb '17

I am beginning to look at NFV Sig again and I have a question about the following. Can Centos NFV SIG create a Repo to be visible in mirrors.centos.org that contains DPDK and other packages as well as VPP once that is built in CBS. If so, what is the process for instancing a repo in mirrors.centos.org like the cloud SIG has? Also, do the following packages appear in any of the Repos. Did I miss something? <http://cbs.centos.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=737>http://cbs.centos.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=737 <http://cbs.centos.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=288>http://cbs.centos.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=288 --TFH -- *Thomas F Herbert* SDN Group Office of Technology *Red Hat*

Fwd: [rdo-list] [release] RDO Ocata packages released
by Alan Pevec 22 Feb '17

22 Feb '17

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "Javier Pena" <javier.pena(a)redhat.com> Date: Feb 22, 2017 18:27 Subject: [rdo-list] [release] RDO Ocata packages released The RDO community is pleased to announce the general availability of the RDO build for OpenStack Ocata for RPM-based distributions, CentOS Linux 7 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. RDO is suitable for building private, public, and hybrid clouds. Ocata is the 15th release from the OpenStack project (http://openstack.org) which is the work of more than 2500 contributors from around the world (source http://stackalytics.com/) The RDO community project (https://www.rdoproject.org/) curates, packages, builds, tests and maintains a complete OpenStack component set for RHEL and CentOS Linux and is a member of the CentOS Cloud Infrastructure SIG ( https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Cloud) The Cloud Infrastructure SIG focuses on delivering a great user experience for CentOS Linux users looking to build and maintain their own on-premise, public or hybrid clouds. All work on RDO, and on the downstream release, Red Hat OpenStack Platform, is 100% open source, with all code changes going upstream first. Interesting things in the Ocata release include: - Significant Improvements (https://www.rdoproject.org/ blog/2017/02/testing-rdo-with-tempest-new-features-in-ocata/) to Tempest and Tempest plugin packaging in RDO - The OpenStack-Ansible (https://docs.openstack.org/ releasenotes/openstack-ansible/ocata.html#new-features) project now supports deployment on top of CentOS with the help of RDO-packaged dependencies For cloud operators, RDO now provides packages for some new OpenStack Services: - Tacker (https://docs.openstack.org/developer/tacker/) an ETSI MANO NFV Orchestrator and VNF Manager - Congress (https://docs.openstack.org/developer/congress/ architecture.html): an open policy framework for the cloud - Vitrage (https://docs.openstack.org/developer/vitrage/) the OpenStack RCA (Root Cause Analysis) Service - Kolla (https://github.com/openstack/kolla) The Kolla project provides tooling to build production-ready container images for deploying OpenStack clouds Some other notable additions: - novajoin (https://github.com/openstack/novajoin) a dynamic vendordata plugin for the OpenStack nova metadata service to manage automatic host instantiation in an IPA server - ironic-ui (https://docs.openstack.org/developer/ironic-ui/) a new Horizon plugin to view and manage baremetal servers - python-virtualbmc (https://github.com/openstack/virtualbmc) VirtualBMC is a proxy that translates IPMI commands to libvirt calls. This allows projects such as OpenStack Ironic to test IPMI drivers using VMs. - python-muranoclient (https://github.com/openstack/python-muranoclient) a client for the Application Catalog service. - python-monascaclient (https://github.com/openstack/ python-monascaclient): a client for the Monasca monitoring-as-a-service solution. - Shaker (http://pyshaker.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) the distributed data-plane testing tool built for OpenStack - Multi-architecture support: aarch64 builds are now provided through an experimental repository - enable the RDO 'testing' repositories to get started >From a networking perspective, we have added some new Neutron plugins that can help Cloud users and operators to address new use cases and scenarios: - networking-bagpipe (https://docs.openstack.org/ developer/networking-bagpipe/): a mechanism driver for Neutron ML2 plugin using BGP E-VPNs/IP VPNs as a backend - networking-bgpvpn (https://docs.openstack.org/ developer/networking-bgpvpn/): an API and framework to interconnect BGP/MPLS VPNs to Openstack Neutron networks - networking-fujitsu (https://github.com/openstack/networking-fujitsu) FUJITSU ML2 plugins/drivers for OpenStack Neutron - networking-l2gw (https://github.com/openstack/networking-l2gw) APIs and implementations to support L2 Gateways in Neutron - networking-sfc (https://github.com/openstack/networking-sfc) APIs and implementations to support Service Function Chaining in Neutron >From the Packstack (https://github.com/openstack/packstack) side, we have several improvements: - We have added support to install Panko and Magnum - Puppet 4 is now supported, and we have updated our manifests to cover the latest changes in the supported projects **Getting Started** There are three ways to get started with RDO. - To spin up a proof of concept cloud, quickly, and on limited hardware, try the All-In-One Quickstart (http://rdoproject.org/Quickstart) You can run RDO on a single node to get a feel for how it works. - For a production deployment of RDO, use the TripleO Quickstart ( https://www.rdoproject.org/tripleo/) and you'll be running a production cloud in short order. - Finally, if you want to try out OpenStack, but don't have the time or hardware to run it yourself, visit TryStack (http://trystack.org/) where you can use a free public OpenStack instance, running RDO packages, to experiment with the OpenStack management interface and API, launch instances, configure networks, and generally familiarize yourself with OpenStack. (TryStack is not, at this time, running Ocata, although it is running RDO.) **Getting Help** The RDO Project participates in a Q&A service at ask.openstack.org ( http://ask.openstack.org) for more developer-oriented content we recommend joining the rdo-list mailing list (https://www.redhat.com/ mailman/listinfo/rdo-list). Remember to post a brief introduction about yourself and your RDO story. You can also find extensive documentation on the RDO docs site (https://www.rdoproject.org/documentation) The #rdo channel on Freenode IRC is also an excellent place to find help and give help. We also welcome comments and requests on the CentOS mailing lists ( https://lists.centos.org/) and the CentOS and TripleO IRC channels (#centos, #centos-devel, and #tripleo on irc.freenode.net) however we have a more focused audience in the RDO venues. **Getting Involved** To get involved in the OpenStack RPM packaging effort, see the RDO community pages (https://www.rdoproject.org/community/) and the CentOS Cloud SIG page (https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Cloud) See also the RDO packaging documentation (https://www.rdoproject.org/packaging/ ). Join us in #rdo on the Freenode IRC network, and follow us at @RDOCommunity (http://twitter.com/rdocommunity) on Twitter. If you prefer Facebook, we're there too (http://facebook.com/rdocommunity) and also Google+ ( http://tm3.org/rdogplus) Cheers, Javier _______________________________________________ rdo-list mailing list rdo-list(a)redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rdo-list To unsubscribe: rdo-list-unsubscribe(a)redhat.com
