Hi everyone, Welcome to the CPE team weekly project update mail! Background: The Community Platform Engineering group is the Red Hat team combining IT and release engineering from Fedora and CentOS. Our goal is to keep core servers and services running and maintained, build releases, and other strategic tasks that need more dedicated time than volunteers can give. For better communication, we will be giving weekly reports to the CentOS and Fedora communities about the general tasks and work being done. Also for better communication between our groups we have created #redhat-cpe on Freenode IRC! Please feel free to catch us there, a mail has landed on both the CentOS and Fedora devel lists with context here. Note: This document is currently built from individual reports rolled into a google document which we edit and copy into a final document. We are aware that this causes problems with some email readers, and are working on a method to make this less problematic.

Minutes for CentOS Board of Directors 2019-11-13 Meeting
by Karsten Wade 27 Nov '19

27 Nov '19

From https://blog.centos.org/2019/11/minutes-for-centos-board-of-directors-2019-…: Public minutes On 2019-11-13 theCentOS Board of Directors <https://centos.org/about/governance/>held their first meeting following the release of CentOS Linux 8 and announcement of CentOS Stream. As covered in this meeting, the CentOS Board are taking on an initiative to increase transparency of the working of the Board. This set of minutes for the community and wider public is the first instance of new, more transparent processes in action. Topics covered in the meeting and via email are discussed below, and remain open on the Board’s rolling agenda for future conversation and actions: 1. Board membership: 1. The Board has been considering for some time adjusting the membership of the Board, in particular by adding new Directors. Discussions with potential new Directors will begin. 2. All Directors discussed the need for future leadership of the CentOS Project to continue being able to straddle the project’s traditional footing on one side, and help drive a vision for the future on the other side. 2. Transparency initiatives: 1. All agree that the biggest need for transparency in the Project is at the Board level. 1. Other groups e.g. SIGs are generally following good transparency practices 2. Board Directors have been asked directly about this topic and the issue of the Board not releasing minutes from meetings. 3. The Board’s infrequent meetings have not been configured to easily generate public topics, since most technical and day-to-day leadership happens in the SIGs especially the Core SIG and QA SIG. 2. Next step -- improving Board meeting norms: 1. *AGREED:*Publish (for next and future meetings) that there will be a meeting, and what the public portion of the agenda is, in advance of the meeting. 2. *AGREED:*Publish a set of public minutes within 72 hours of the conclusion of a Board meeting 3. *AGREED:*There will be a rolling element to the agenda so that items are not dropped between meetings but rather eventually addressed/resolved. 4. *ACTION*: Karsten to write and publish this set of public meeting minutes 3. New branding work underway - Karsten briefed the Board on the community efforts to consider the CentOS brand, logo, and overall branding in light of the addition of CentOS Stream. 1. https://git.centos.org/centos/Artwork/issue/1 2. https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2019-November/018098.html 3. *AGREED*: Board more actively drive approving/rejecting design ideas. 4. *AGREED*: There will be a reasonable time for discussion around the potential brand changes, and the Board will ensure the discussion concludes in a timely manner. -- Karsten Wade [he/him/his]| Senior Community Architect | @quaid Red Hat Open Source Program Office (OSPO) : @redhatopen https://community.redhat.com | https://next.redhat.com | https://theopensourceway.org gpg: AD0E0C41 | https://red.ht/sig

Rawhide Gating: Bodhi 5.0 has been deployed for a week now and we are getting some feedback on the new UI We hope to incorporate some of this feedback in the 5.1 release 5.1 will include a fix needed by the CI pipeline Ci pipeline on fedora-messaging JMS plugin has been updated That broke datagrepper: unix timestamp are in seconds, not milliseconds and postgresql doesn’t like the year 51850 Fedora-messaging client on resultsdb had broke Open ticket is for monitoring: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/8392 repoSpanner 83x performance patch submitted as a pull request and is awaiting review. Once the 83x patch is merged, we hope that it will be possible to make a release/deployment. It is possible that it will still be too slow so our next idea for improvement involves changing the API that nodes use to synchronize objects with each other.

[Infra] - Planned outage : git.centos.org
by Fabian Arrotin 22 Nov '19

22 Nov '19

We have to do some maintenance work on the node[s] hosting git.centos.org to optimize the git storage layout : the goal is to get better performances and also fix some issues reported by some of our users. Worth knowing that ssh will be blocked to prevent git pushes and so "freeze" the git repositories while they are reorganized. Migration is scheduled for """"Monday November 25th, 7:00 am UTC time"""". You can convert to local time with $(date -d '2019-11-25 7:00 UTC') The expected "downtime" is estimated to ~60 minutes , time needed to reflect the new git storage layout. Thanks for your comprehending and patience. on behalf of the Infra team, -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 17F3B7A1 | twitter: @arrfab

missing src.rpm for updated centos 8 kernels?
by Antal Nemeš 20 Nov '19

20 Nov '19

Hi all, Latest (at this time) kernel for Centos 8 is kernel-4.18.0-80.11.2.el8_0. I am unable to find the .src.rpm for this kernel anywhere in Centos repositories. I looked in: http://vault.centos.org/centos/8/BaseOS/Source/SPackages/ http://mirror.nsc.liu.se/centos-store/centos/8/BaseOS/Source/SPackages/ Source package link on centos.pgks.org is also dead: https://centos.pkgs.org/8/centos-baseos-x86_64/kernel-4.18.0-80.11.2.el8_0.… Where can I find the src.rpm for this kernel? This applies to several other C8 kernel updates. I am yet to cross-reference other packages to see if any other src.rpms are missing. Regards, Antal

Fwd: php, cve-2019-11043 and AppStream repo updates
by Angelo Lisco 20 Nov '19

20 Nov '19

Hi to all, Am I wrong or the CentOS AppStream repo is heavily lagging behind the RedHat repos? Some examples here: - the php:7.2 critical security errata published on 2019-11-06 (that's almost 2 weeks ago) [1] [2] is still unavailable in the CentOS AppStream repo leaving systems vulnerable to an already exploited bug [3]; - (this is less critical IMHO) new yum modules published in EL8.1 on on 2019-11-05 (php:7.3 nginx:1.16, ruby:2.6, nodejs:12) are still unavailable in the CentOS AppStream repo; I'm wondering if it's unintended and justified by lack of time and resources or it's a sneaky strategy to let users choose RHEL for running production systems instead of CentOS. I'm really sorry to say that but the issue described here and the lack of a security errata bulletin [4], makes CentOS8 almost unusable on a production environment. Thanks for your attention. Regards Angelo Barney [1] https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2019:3735 [2] https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2019-11043 [3] https://nextcloud.com/blog/nextcry-or-how-a-hacker-tried-to-exploit-a-nginx… [4] https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2019-November/018053.html

Some more debugging/discussions around RCMs pushes that seem to be either very slow or hanging but the team is looking into some solutions Some progress was also made on the 83x patch however and we managed to fix one unreliable test.
