Cloud images are something we're working through targeting the upcoming Stream 8 and Linux 8.1.1911 releases. --Brian

Unshipped -devel packages in CentOS Linux
by Brian Stinson 28 Feb '20

28 Feb '20

Hi Folks, We're gearing up to build the next minor release of CentOS Linux 8 so I thought now would be a good time to revisit the conversation we've been having about what to do with unshipped -devel packages. Just a reminder on a few guiding principles: - The BaseOS, AppStream, and PowerTools repos in CentOS Linux are designed and composed to match Upstream as closely as possible, both in content and behavior - Unshipped devel packages have no defined maintenance lifecycle in Upstream, and especially not in CentOS - We know that some of these devel packages are essential to build applications that the CentOS (and probably EPEL) communities care about. The problems we need to solve if we decide to ship these packages somewhere in a CentOS artifact: - Communicate that these packages are provided as-is and are not meant for runtime dependencies - Provide the packages in a form that is consumable for individuals and the EPEL community I'd like to propose that we create a separate repository, disabled by default that is composed of the -devel packages that we care about, bundled in a module. The name of this repository and the module is up for discussion, but I would like the naming to help with the communication that these are not for general consumption. I'd also like to discuss how we populate this repo/module. It would be easiest to just dump every unshipped package in and move on, but that doesn't help us track which of these packages are truly important outside of building the distro. Shipping *everything* also represents a larger content set to manage if lifecycle issues come up in the future. An alternative would be to store this definition in git (we'll need to do that anyways), and allow folks to make pull requests to include new content, shipping this as a separate repo would let us spin updates on demand. Looking forward to the discussion! -- Brian Stinson CentOS Infra Team

Backport of xfrm kernel bugfix
by Matt Dees 18 Feb '20

18 Feb '20

Hi All! We have been dealing with a memory leak in the kernel for IKEv2 and IPSec connections relating to a memory leak in xfrm support on both el8 and el7. The symptom of this issue is that memory will continue allocating in slab over time making a box oom after too many connections. As per some external discussions I am sending the patch + bug report on to this list. It has already been accepted into upstream kernels (4.19 included) and is a pretty straight forward backport. I have tested and installed this on a few centos8 systems to validate that this does indeed solve the memory leak issue. rbz# 1780470

CentOS 8 Artwork needed
by Rich Bowen 31 Jan '20

31 Jan '20

To all the artists and designers here, we need your help. With RHEL 8 beta released, we need to start producing artwork for CentOS 8. It's time for the CentOS Artwork SIG, and anyone else that's interested in contributing to this effort, to start working on everything that will be needed for the new release. What we know we need is anaconda artwork, and new desktop backgrounds to replace the current '7' themed stuff. As we dig, we may find more things that need to be updated to the new 8 theme. Additionally, we will need to update some of the assets listed here: https://wiki.centos.org/ArtWork/Identity ... and produce new assets for 8 to be listed here: https://wiki.centos.org/ArtWork/Brand/Logo And, finally, we need someone to step up to lead this effort. While we don't yet know for certain when RHEL 8 will officially release, it's safe to assume that it's soon, and we need your help. -- Rich Bowen - rbowen(a)redhat.com @CentOSProject // @rbowen 859 351 9166

CentOS Stream: Respin and new kernel features
by Brian Stinson 04 Jan '20

04 Jan '20

Hi Folks, First a bit of administrivia: If you have installed CentOS Stream from the initial spin, please be sure that you have centos-release-stream installed on your system. We had a bug in that compose that caused centos-release-stream to not get laid out on-disk at install time. Please run: `dnf install centos-release-stream` followed by `dnf update` For this respin of CentOS Stream we want to highlight new work in the kernel that enables Pressure Stall Information accounting: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/accounting/psi.html Give this a test! If there are comments related to this feature, feel free to start a discussion here on centos-devel. The latest CentOS Stream content is still seeding to the mirror network, but we expect it to coalesce over the next days. You can download install DVDs from the download page: https://www.centos.org/download/ A final note about CentOS Linux 8.1.1911: we are working diligently to get this ready for release. Stay tuned here for more information. We've included much of the same content as 8.1.1911 in this CentOS Stream respin both for your comments, and to help us promote CentOS Stream as a continuous feed of new features. Cheers! -- Brian Stinson

Re: [CentOS-devel] Minutes for CentOS Board of Directors 2019-11-13 Meeting
by Patrick Laimbock 03 Jan '20

03 Jan '20

Hi Karsten, Thank you for the update. > 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. That's great news. Will the process be similar to how it's done in the Fedora Project [1]? So with a public list of nominees, published interview with each nominee and public voting results? Is there a way for the Community to (self-)nominate? For better Community coverage perhaps CentOS Board related postings could also be sent to the centos-announce and centos mailinglists? Thanks, Patrick [1] https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/program_management/elections/

CentOS Linux 8.0.1905 Continuous Release Populated
by Brian Stinson 26 Dec '19

26 Dec '19

Hi Folks, We've populated CentOS Linux 8.0.1905 with content from the upcoming 8.1.1911 GA Release: https://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/CR This includes only the GA content at this time (0-day updates are still pending). One of the major things we're working on is matching the x86_64 multilib content set with upstream, be prepared for changes to i686 packages that may be removed at release time for CentOS Linux. As usual, this content takes a little while to make it out to the mirror network, but it should coalesce shortly. On behalf of the CentOS team: Happy testing, and Happy *C*hristmas *R*elease -- Brian Stinson brian(a)bstinson.com

CPE Weekly: 2019-12-20
by Aoife Moloney 21 Dec '19

21 Dec '19

Hi everyone, Welcome to the CPE team weekly project update mail! Important Note: Please note there will be no weekly emails over the holiday period of 23rd December 2019 - 2nd January 2020*. The next CPE weekly email will be sent on Friday 10th January 2020. As you may be aware, either from the CPE weekly emails or from previous years, Red Hat has a mandatory shutdown period between Christmas and New Year in many countries. This allows most associates to celebrate the holiday season with friends and family and recharge their batteries after a busy year. Multiple Red Hat teams will be observing this period, including Fedora & CentOS infrastructure teams, and we want to raise awareness that availability will be minimal during this time. *While the formal shutdown period ends on the 2nd of January 2020, many people will not be back until Monday the 6th of January 2020. As all of our team members are also passionate Community members, there may be some coverage, but this is not guaranteed and will be on a best effort basis. Any coverage offered will ultimately be at the personal choice of the individual during their time off. We want to take this time to wish you and yours a healthy and happy Christmas period and a most prosperous New Year. We look forward to working closely with you over the coming year! 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. High Level Project Updates: CentOS The CR variant from the Stream composes, seems to work, 8.1.1911 will use a similar variant to populate the CR repo on the mirrors The team are also still working on preparing the next migration to wiki.centos.org www.centos.org Forums The team have started new ansible roles to automate deploy + upgrade of those migrated services We are still finishing templates for mailman ansible role (new look with community members) Working on koji (cbs.dev) to see when we can import 8.1 content to let SIGs build against/for .el8 and .el8s (Stream) The team are still investigating an Ansible upgrade for centos (currently on 2.6.20 and needs testing with 2.9) and then also with .el8 roles compatibility Fedora: General Updates Nagios plugins were fixed to work on EL8/F31 Support was added for fedora messaging wire format to jms-messaging plugin There is one prerequisite:RabbitMQ PR needs to be merged first Other work this week with RabbitMQ includes: An issue in RabbitMQ jms-messaging plugin PR was fixed Two new PR’s in Anitya The issue in the-new-hotness was also fixed when it stopped consuming messages - it was caused by empty version and the fix for this already in Anitya master The team deployed distgit-bugzilla-sync script in openshift Pagure Updates We also worked on pagure-dist-git PR review/merges this week The team cleaned up the bugzilla override patches for pagure-dist-git https://pagure.io/pagure-dist-git/pull-request/82 We modified output of pagure-dist-git/scripts/pagure_poc.py to include assignee information https://pagure.io/pagure-dist-git/pull-request/90 We updated distgit_bugzilla_sync/script.py to read the assignee information from above instead of fedora-scm-requests https://pagure.io/Fedora-Infra/distgit-bugzilla-sync/pull-request/40 We fixed mdapi headers for CORS: https://pagure.io/mdapi/pull-request/93 And they are already reviewed and merged :) We also wrote script to read assignee information from fedora-scm-requests and added it to dist-git Tiger Team Updates: OSBS Issue deploying the aarch64 cluster.
