25 Nov '19

Ok, folks, last call for content for the FOSDEM CentOS Dojo, January 31 in Brussels. https://wiki.centos.org/Events/Dojo/Brussels2020 Note that as of right now, I'm going to have to cancel one of the two rooms for the event, because we don't have enough content. So please submit your proposals about the interesting things you're doing on CentOS, so that we can put together another awesome event. Thanks. -- Rich Bowen - rbowen(a)redhat.com @CentOSProject // @rbowen 859 351 9166

25 Nov '19

Hi, is there any page like https://wiki.centos.org/About/Building_8 we can monitor for getting updates on CentOS 8.1 build?

CPE Weekly: 2019-11-22
by Aoife Moloney 22 Nov '19

22 Nov '19

Happy Friday 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. High Level Project Updates: CentOS: The team have been testing migrating away from Repospanner Wrote a PoC migration script (taking care also of requests/tickets/forks repositories) RCM confirmed that it works Next step is testing on https://git.stg.centos.org and we hope to have an ETA on a migration time soon CentOS Stream Scoping meetings are ongoing Fedora: F31 Upgrades & Reinstallations Updated s390x buildvm’ Updated buildvmhost-s390x-01 Updated ppc9-01 to f31 and all guests to f31, added on bug about qemu in f31 on ppc64le not being able to do pseries-4.1 guests (the default), switched to pseries-4.0. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1769600 Re-installed buildvm-aarch64-01/02/03 and buildvm-armv7-01/02/03 with f31 and worked though issues with composes on them. 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. Application Retirements Elections Blocking issue was fixed https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/8253 Bcotton confirmed the fix is now in place - thanks Ben!

[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

by Jason Brooks 21 Nov '19

21 Nov '19

The CentOS Atomic SIG has released an [updated version](https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Atomic/Download) of CentOS Atomic Host (7.1910), an 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. CentOS Atomic Host includes these core component versions: * atomic-1.22.1-29.gitb507039.el7.x86_64 * rpm-ostree-client-2018.5-2.atomic.el7.x86_64 * ostree-2019.1-2.el7.x86_64 * cloud-init-18.5-3.el7.centos.x86_64 * docker-1.13.1-103.git7f2769b.el7.centos.x86_64 * kernel-3.10.0-1062.4.3.el7.x86_64 * podman-1.4.4-4.el7.centos.x86_64 * flannel-0.7.1-4.el7.x86_64 * etcd-3.3.11-2.el7.centos.x86_64 ## Download CentOS Atomic Host CentOS Atomic Host is available as a VirtualBox or libvirt-formatted Vagrant box, or as an installable ISO, or qcow2 image.

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/).

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
