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

Bot account for opstools-sig
by Matthias Runge 02 Mar '18

02 Mar '18

Hello, as follow-up on the CentOS dojo in Geneva, I'm hereby requesting a bot account for the Opstools SIG. There are listed two requirements[1]: - the account name is the shortname for the SIG: I'm proposing opstools - The email on the account must be deliverable to someone who can change the certificate on the production environment. The opstools SIG uses RDO gerrit for kicking off builds. So, either we'd need here the email address of someone with such access to RDO gerrit. I currently have no such login. Whatever works here, I'd be fine with it. I did not create an account in ACO yet, since the email question is currently undecided.

Status Update: CentOS Community Container Pipeline Service 28-Feb-2018
by Bamacharan Kundu 28 Feb '18

28 Feb '18

Hi All, Here is an update on the recent works done in Centos Community Container Pipeline * https://registry.centos.org is updated with new UI allowing users * search through the content * shows the dockerfile from which the image is built * Shows the Readme from the repo which mostly talks about the usage of the image * We have refactored garbage collector to get proper diff in container-index and registry.centos.org for removing extra images pushed to registry in build time. * We have disable the centos/centos:* base images to be excluded in RPM repo tracking. This will make sure these images are only updated in case of changes pushed to source repo. Our recent focus is: * We are developing API for exposing the build data from back end to show more details in registry UI. * Fixing beanstalk connection initialization method * Fix pre-build job entries CI to not check for target file * Fixes bug in dangling volume cleanup post scan * Prevents logging unnecessary recurring queue operational messages Regards Bamacharan Kundu

Email alias for SIG members?
by Matthias Runge 28 Feb '18

28 Feb '18

Hello, I recently thought about the possibility of getting an email alias for SIG members. That should not be forwarded to a mailing list. Would something like that be possible? Idea is to spam people in charge directly. It can contain sensitive data, or data not belonging to mailing lists, like certificates, build failures, that kind of thing. Other than that, all communication should be kept public, IMHO. So: would it be possible to get an email alias like <sig-name>@centos.org to forward emails? If yes, what would be the process?

Re: [CentOS-devel] CentOS for IBM Mainframes.

IBM can and does provide raw z/VM VMs at Marist or Syracuse for other Linux distros, such as Debian. That is what you really need, not "hardware". The discussion about donating hardware is off track. The Debian support is completely community driven and maintained. If there is a group of CentOS developers who want to bootstrap and maintain it, the resources probably can be made available. If this is a request for IBM to enable CentOS on IBMz, that is an orthogonal discussion about IBM resources and likely would require IBM customer demand. Thanks, David
