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

SRPMS for AltArch (more specifically aarch64 kernel)
by Dominique Martinet 22 Aug '18

22 Aug '18

Hi folks, I've asked on IRC and have been pointed to this list. I can't seem to find this particular source rpm: kernel-aarch64-4.5.0-29.el7.src.rpm which is what is pointed by `rpm -qi kernel` on my system. Are these supposed to be available anywhere? Looking on google I only see one for an older release in someone's centos user/people page, but I can't seem to find these in any repo. The debuginfo are properly here but it's good to have sources as well when messing around with low level stuff :) Cheers and thanks for the hard work, -- Dominique Martinet

I encountered this bug when I was using sort to --merge multiple log files with month fields of the form Jan, Feb etc. It caused the kernel to oom which was unexpected since the very merge sort should run in linear time complexity with fixed amount of memory. yousong

IBM ppc64{le} builders offline for CBS/koji
by Fabian Arrotin 29 Jan '18

29 Jan '18

Hi, Our monitoring platform informed us that the ppc64{le} builders used in our Koji environment are actually unreachable (same for the underlying IBM P8 hypervisor node) After investigation it seems that it's hardware issue I'll work with the DC people next monday to see how we can try to fix the issue and I'll also investigate some options to have at least one builder per arch asap (so ppc64 and ppc64le) That means that people building for multiple arches will be impacted as long as those builders will not be back online (or some equivalent node that can take those $arch jobs) I'll keep the list informed about a status update as soon as possible. -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 56BEC54E | twitter: @arrfab

by Rich Bowen 19 Jan '18

19 Jan '18

TL;DR: Register NOW at https://wiki.centos.org/Events/Dojo/Brussels2018 if you're coming. Two weeks from today we'll be holding the annual CentOS Dojo at FOSDEM, held at the Marriott Grand Place, starting at 8:30 am with coffee, and talks starting at 9:30, February 2nd. If you'll be at FOSDEM, please come a day early for this awesome community event, with talks, lunch, community, and then join us afterwards at Delerium for the FOSDEM Beer Event. While the event is free, we do need you to register, so that we know how much we'll need to bring out for lunch. We know that there are a lot of events before FOSDEM this year, but this one is, of course, the best, and you don't want to miss it. It's also the only place to get the exclusive "Powered By CentOS" laptop stickers - https://photos.app.goo.gl/DvKKbKJROZ5fksa32 See you in Brussels! -- Rich Bowen - rbowen(a)centosproject.org @RDOcommunity // @CentOSProject // @rbowen

v2 manifests for Container repository, plan?
by Richard Henwood 17 Jan '18

17 Jan '18

Hi All, I am particularly interested in multi-arch containers. I've looked around https://registry.centos.org and it appears that v1 manifests are used exclusively. Is this accurate, and is there a plan to move to V2 manifests and provide multi-arch containers? best regards,Richard

Infrastructure management change for Fedora
by Jim Perrin 17 Jan '18

17 Jan '18

Some of you who follow Fedora development as well as CentOS may have seen an email go out this morning[1] about me taking over as the reporting manager for the Fedora Infrastructure team, and I wanted to post here as well to be open about the change. As of February 1, I'll be managing the Fedora Infra teams in addition to the CentOS engineering team inside RH. This is largely an internal procedural thing that doesn't change my commitment to the CentOS project, and doesn't impact the day to day missions of either team. If anyone's got questions or wants to make jokes about my love of spreadsheets and/or TPS reports, now's the time :-) 1. https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org… -- Jim Perrin The CentOS Project | http://www.centos.org twitter: @BitIntegrity | GPG Key: FA09AD77

by Jason Brooks 15 Jan '18

15 Jan '18

The CentOS Atomic SIG has released an updated version (https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Atomic/Download) of CentOS Atomic Host (7.1712), a lean operating system designed to run Linux containers, built from standard CentOS 7 RPMs, and tracking the component versions included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host. This release includes updated kernel[1], linux-firmware[2] and microcode_ctl[3] packages to address recent security advisories, alongside other minor updates that shipped during the month of December. [1] https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2018-January/022696.html [2] https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2018-January/022698.html [3] https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2018-January/022697.html CentOS Atomic Host includes these core component versions: * atomic-1.20.1-9.git436cf5d.el7.centos.x86_64 * cloud-init-0.7.9-9.el7.centos.2.x86_64 * docker-1.12.6-68.gitec8512b.el7.centos.x86_64 * etcd-3.2.9-3.el7.x86_64 * flannel-0.7.1-2.el7.x86_64 * kernel-3.10.0-693.11.6.el7.x86_64 * kubernetes-node-1.5.2-0.7.git269f928.el7.x86_64 * ostree-2017.11-1.el7.x86_64 * rpm-ostree-client-2017.9-1.atomic.el7.x86_64 ## Download CentOS Atomic Host CentOS Atomic Host is available as a VirtualBox or libvirt-formatted Vagrant box, or as an installable ISO, qcow2 or Amazon Machine image. For links to media, see the CentOS wiki (https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Atomic/Download) ## Upgrading If you're running a previous version of CentOS Atomic Host, you can upgrade to the current image by running the following command: # atomic host upgrade ## Release Cycle The CentOS Atomic Host image follows the upstream Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host cadence. After sources are released, they're rebuilt and included in new images. After the images are tested by the SIG and deemed ready, we announce them. ## Getting Involved CentOS Atomic Host is produced by the CentOS Atomic SIG (http://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Atomic) based on upstream work from Project Atomic (http://www.projectatomic.io/) If you'd like to work on testing images, help with packaging, documentation -- join us! The SIG meets every two weeks as part of the Project Atomic community meeting at 16:00 UTC on Monday in the #atomic channel. You'll often find us in #atomic and/or #centos-devel if you have questions. You can also join the atomic-devel (https://lists.projectatomic.io/mailman/listinfo/atomic-devel) mailing list if you'd like to discuss the direction of Project Atomic, its components, or have other questions. ## Getting Help If you run into any problems with the images or components, feel free to ask on the centos-devel (http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-devel) mailing list. Have questions about using Atomic? See the atomic (https://lists.projectatomic.io/mailman/listinfo/atomic) mailing list or find us in the #atomic channel on Freenode.

New Apache Cassandra SCL (sclo-cassandra3) in centos-sclo-sclo-testing
by Augusto Caringi 15 Jan '18

15 Jan '18

Hi folks, I've been working on Cassandra SCL (called sclo-cassandra3, Cassandra version 3.11.0) recently, continuing the work started by Tomas Repik, and now I inform you that it is available for testing in CentOS (centos-sclo-sclo-testing repository). Cassandra is a partitioned row store. Rows are organized into tables with a required primary key. Partitioning means that Cassandra can distribute your data across multiple machines in an application-transparent matter. Cassandra will automatically re-partition as machines are added/removed from the cluster. Row store means that like relational databases, Cassandra organizes data by rows and columns. The Cassandra Query Language (CQL) is a close relative of SQL. To install: sudo yum install centos-release-scl sudo yum --enablerepo=centos-sclo-sclo-testing install sclo-cassandra3 sclo-cassandra3-cassandra To start the service: sudo systemctl start sclo-cassandra3-cassandra To run the cqlsh client tool: scl enable sclo-cassandra3 rh-java-common rh-maven33 cqlsh Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Links to sclo-cassandra3 buildlogs [1], git repository of the SCLized package [2], metapackage [3] and softwarecollections.org page [4] can be found down bellow. Best regards, [1] https://buildlogs.centos.org/centos/7/sclo/x86_64/sclo/sclo-cassandra3/ [2] https://github.com/devexp-db/sclo-cassandra3-cassandra [3] https://github.com/devexp-db/sclo-cassandra3 [4] https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/scls/rhscl/sclo-cassandra3/ -- Augusto Mecking Caringi Software Engineer Core Services - Databases Team Red Hat

"CVE-2017-5715 [branch target injection] aka 'Spectre Variant 2' * Mitigation 1 * Hardware (CPU microcode) support for mitigation: YES * Kernel support for IBRS: YES * IBRS enabled for Kernel space: NO * IBRS enabled for User space: NO * Mitigation 2 * Kernel compiled with retpoline option: NO * Kernel compiled with a retpoline-aware compiler: NO > STATUS: VULNERABLE (IBRS hardware + kernel support OR kernel with retpoline are needed to mitigate the vulnerability)" Thanks in advance Thanks and regards AKSHAR
