forums + portal for {lang}.centos.org sites
by Karanbir Singh 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

Using mirrorlist in centos-release-* packages
by Anssi Johansson 12 Sep '19

12 Sep '19

Hi, as mentioned in https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2018-September/016949.html mirrorlist.centos.org has been updated to produce mirror lists for SIG content as well. Some centos-release-* packages have already been modified to use mirrorlist.centos.org instead of mirror.centos.org, but many still point to mirror.centos.org. Most of mirror.centos.org hosts are also used for seeding the 600+ external mirrors we have. By directing some of their download traffic to external mirrors we can offer faster sync speeds for those external mirrors, and for people downloading individual rpms from mirror.centos.org. Second, most of those external mirrors offer faster download speeds to end users than what could be achieved by downloading from mirror.centos.org, so the users will benefit from this change as well. The better geographical coverage does not hurt either. mirror.centos.org nodes are donated servers, and it would be kind to the sponsors to use their bandwidth sparingly. The .repo files should be modified so that the current baseurl line gets commented out and a mirrorlist entry gets added, like this: mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch… #baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/$contentdir/$releasever/storage/$basearch/gluster-4.1/ Note that mirrorlist.c.o can automatically choose between main and altarch content based on the arch parameter. The repo names are constructed from the repository path by stripping away the architecture and changing any slashes to dashes: sclo/x86_64/rh -> sclo-rh, sclo/x86_64/sclo -> sclo-sclo, paas/x86_64/openshift-origin311 -> paas-openshift-origin311, storage/x86_64/gluster-5 -> storage-gluster-5 etc. You can use 'curl' to check what mirrorlist outputs for your repository. New repos are added to mirrorlist.centos.org automatically once the repository hits mirror.centos.org. That script is currently run every three hours. I guess it could be run more frequently (it's fairly lightweight), but you should give the external mirrors a few hours to sync before announcing your release anyway. You can either submit an update to your current centos-release-* file now, or wait until you need to create a new centos-release-* package for other reasons such as releasing softwarepackage-(version+1) which uses different paths. My recommendation would be to submit an update to your current centos-release-* package, so that you would not need to worry about this when you eventually need to publish a new one for other reasons. We released an updated centos-release package for CentOS AltArch before 7.6.1810 was released for this exact reason, ie. we didn't need to worry about this change at 7.6.1810 release time. Other people (such as bstinson, arrfab and hughesjr) can probably help with creating and publishing an updated centos-release-* package, but the usual tagging procedure to extras will apply. The SIG Guide https://wiki.centos.org/SIGGuide should have all the needed details for this (if not, complain to bstinson). It is highly recommended to actually test your new centos-release-* package from buildlogs before you ask that package to be signed and pushed to extras. The holiday season is fast approaching so (I) don't expect much activity regarding these changes in the following days. I'm hoping that the SIGs would take a look at this in early 2019, though. Thanks to those SIGs who have already made these changes to their centos-release-* packages! If you have questions, feel free to ask either here or on #centos-devel. Thanks for your time!

Centpkg and the converged git project
by Brian Stinson 22 Feb '19

22 Feb '19

Hi Folks, I've done a bit of work on centpkg, now that we have a testbed at git.stg.centos.org. The goal here is to allow centpkg and fedpkg (Fedora's site) to both understand the different formats. The test version of centpkg described below is the first step in that direction. Basically you can try this out by pulling a container image: `podman pull quay.io/bstinsonmhk/centpkg:develop` Why a container image? - The patches to make this happen involve invasive changes to rpkg, that are still in flight (basically, https://pagure.io/rpkg/pull-request/393) - I wanted to bake in the sources and configs to develop this a little faster as we find problems. What's included, and where to file bugs? - centpkg from: https://bitbucket.org/bstinsonmhk/centpkg/branch/develop - rpkg from: https://pagure.io/fork/bstinson/rpkg/tree/centpkg-inbound - fedpkg from: https://pagure.io/fedpkg/tree/master Here's how I run it for testing CentOS packages (substitute your centos user certificate and a path to RPMs to fit your workstation): `podman run --rm -it -v /home/bstinson/.centos.cert:/home/centpkg-user/.centos.cert:Z -v /home/bstinson/rpms:/home/centpkg-user/rpms:Z quay.io/bstinsonmhk/centpkg:develop` If you're a SIG member, you can push to a sig branch. For example, if I was a mamber of the atomic SIG I could do: # Clone the repo $ centpkg clone -b c7 a2ps # Download the sources from C7 $ centpkg sources # Change to a SIG branch $ git checkout -b c7-sig-atomic-cockpit-preview # Manual push is needed here until we work out a way to register the # new branches $ git push -u origin c7-sig-atomic-cockpit-preview # Upload sources to the SIG branch in the lookaside $ centpkg upload SOURCES/a2ps-4.14.tar.gz SOURCES/i18n-fonts-0.1.tar.gz # CBS does not yet build from SCM, so still need srpms $ centpkg scratch-build --srpm # Try out a fedora branch $ centpkg switch-branch f28 $ centpkg clean # From a Fedora branch this should use your Fedora creds $ centpkg scratch-build # this should work with Fedora's ko What I need help with: - Review the open PRs to rpkg as they come in - Help me find more places where we need to use the new 'Layout' objects (that is where rpkg has paths hard-coded) - Test Fedora workflows, and other commands with centpkg - Help add new commands - to request SIG branches - to translate from one layout to another (ex. bringing a Fedora branch into a CentOS SIG branch) Happy building! --Brian

Storage SIG, where is glusterfs-server?
by Carl T. Miller 24 Dec '18

24 Dec '18

I've spent hours searching for the glusterfs-server package and everywhere I looked said to use packages from the Storage SIG. After installing each of the centos-release-gluster* packages, I still get "No package glusterfs-server available." So...I checked the documentation on the wiki and it says to start by installing glusterfs-server. Is there a reason that there is no package for the server? Are there plans to create one? (Preferably for 4.0, 4.1 and 5.) May I (or would you) update the wiki to reflect the current status of glusterfs on CentOS? Thank you! c
