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

Request for feedback: CentOS-Atomic container
by Karanbir Singh 25 Sep '17

25 Sep '17

hi Alpha2: registry.centos.org/kbsingh/centos-atomic:7-alpha2 The CentOS Atomic Container is a minimal ( 30MB on disk ) image that can be used to host static content, and small footprint content that does not need the entire CentOS Linux Base image. This is also not meant to replace CentOS Linux Base image as the default, we want to make it available as an additional container base for apps that find it useful. The main highlight is that it does not contain yum, but has microdnf. I am looking for feedback, and some wider testing as well as recommendations on howto further reduce size, before we move to release. You can consume this as : docker run -t -i \ registry.centos.org/kbsingh/centos-atomic:7-alpha2 \ /bin/bash regards -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

Disk size on Vagrant image
by Jeff Sheltren 12 Sep '17

12 Sep '17

I have some development projects that require a large amount of disk on the VM, and are running into issues with the current centos/7 Vagrant box. Is it possible to increase the disk size of the Vagrant image to 100, or even 200 GB? Since this is a sparse image, I don't believe the change will have any affect on people using less disk space, it will only use up as much space on the host system as is in use on the VM. Laurențiu, what do you think? Thanks, Jeff

kick starting duffy2 dev on github
by Karanbir Singh 02 Sep '17

02 Sep '17

hi everyone, I've started working on duffy2 here : https://github.com/kbsingh/duffy2 - there is a base framework in place there that should give you an idea on how this all comes together, I will keep pushing bits - but this will likely get major momentum once we are done with 7.1708 Everyone is welcome to come join the effort, but I would highly recommend joining the ci-users list to track what is going on. We will have no private meetings about this, all conversation to be kept to the ci-users list, bugs.centos.org and the github repo itself. regards -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

Plan for releasing CentOS CR into CBS and CI
by Brian Stinson 31 Aug '17

31 Aug '17

Hi Folks, We've had a few discussions around how to handle releasing CR (https://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/CR) over the past few days. When we last checked in, there was still a bit of work going on building and testing pre-release CR (the QA team has been hard at work), and the altarch builds were still in progress. There are 2 ways the release might play out: - If the altarch (aarch64, and ppc64{,le}) builds are finished, and we are otherwise ready: CBS and CI will be seeded from the mirrors just like usual, and CR will be available at roughly the same time as the rest of the mirror network - If the altarch builds are not yet ready, the CentOS QA team may decide to release x86_64 ahead of the other arches. In that case, we will wait for ppc and aarch64 but still seed CI and CBS together as soon as the altarch builds are ready. If there are any questions, feel free to comment here. As always we will post updates as we move forward. Cheers! -- Brian Stinson

missing rpms in CR
by Jacco Ligthart 27 Aug '17

27 Aug '17

Hi, when looking through the recently released CR rpm set, I think I miss these RPMs: scap-security-guide scap-workbench virt-who as far as I can see, these used to be part of 7.1611, were updated on git.centos.org for 7.1708, but were not build (no directory on buildlogs) and are not in the CR set.

clearing out SIG content / trimming obsoleted content
by Karanbir Singh 24 Aug '17

24 Aug '17

hi with 7.1708 almost here, now would be a good time for the SIG's to think through if they want to lose existing obsoleted code from mirror.centos.org and have it moved to vault. When we do a new release, the tree for this version is built up manually and then pushed, so its a good convenient time to think about what the users are looking at, and perhaps trim the repos ( we typically will do this for centosplus/extras etc as well ) please get in touch with Brian or Thomas or myself for details, ideally open a request on bugs.centos.org/ regards -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc
