# CPE Weekly: 2020-03-06
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.
## Fedora Updates
* Fedora Minimal Compose is being worked on currently for F32 beta
### Data Centre Move
* Please start to plan for 2-3 week outage of communishift starting
2020-04-12 to allow for the move
* Due to the data centre move, we cannot get a new box to run odcs-backend
https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/8721
* We are also scoping the work required for 'Minimum Viable Fedora' -
here is the link to the mail as a refresher of what to expect, and
what not https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/infrastructure@lists.fedorapr…
Our move dates are as follows:
* Move 1 April 13 to IAD2 (essential hardware)
* Move 2 April 13 to RDU-CC (communishift)
* Move 3 May 11 to IAD2 (QA equipment)
* Move 4 June 1 to IAD2 (anything and everything else)
### AAA Replacement
* Sprint 5 will see the team focusing on integration with FASJSON API
and 2FA token
* We have also decided to postpone testing of the new solution until
post data centre move to make sure it is
* As always, check out our progress on github here
https://github.com/orgs/fedora-infra/projects/6
### CI/CD
* Monitor-Gating: Blocked in staging because F32 isn’t branched off
there yet (Koji, Bodhi, PDC, https://pagure.io/releng/issue/9293)
* Automatic Release Tags and Changelog: Ongoing Devel-list thread here
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org…
* The team have moved to Jitsi video conferencing with interested
community members (ngompa, clime, mboddu, mhroncok) about the
different approaches to automatic release tags. Result: Approach
considering existing EVRs most palatable (over <#commits>.<#builds>).
* We now have a more official looking repo:
https://pagure.io/Fedora-Infra/rpmautospec
* The team also created implementation details and roadmap:
https://hackmd.io/2iQUWeLdR1uTSJ6WL2JqBA
### Sustaining Team
* Old cloud is now officially retired
* Bodhi XSS vulnerability patched
* The team are also looking to prepare a Bodhi 5.2 release
* Fedora Minimal Compose (Use ODCS to trigger test composes)
* The team are also scoping the Mbbox upgrade and Task breakdown
https://github.com/fedora-infra/mbbox/projects/1
* Support community members helping with Badges outage
* The teams has started a conversation about Infra Ticket prioritization
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/infrastructure@lists.fedorapr…
## Docs
### Misc Updates/Review Requests
* Initial f32-updates-testing push is fixed
https://github.com/fedora-infra/bodhi/issues/3936
* Fixed perms on f32 ostree to finish updates pushes
* Anitya tests are fixed
https://github.com/fedora-infra/anitya/commit/8fe224dbc6b8071f5c5e6f11abe15…
* Failing tests in the-new-hotness being resolved

https://pagure.io/flatpak-module-tools/issue/6
* Please review Jms-messaging-plugin reviews
https://github.com/jenkinsci/jms-messaging-plugin/pull/162
## CentOS Updates
### CentOS
* Ppc64le kickstarter added for CentOS 8
* This will still need to be tested and added in production
* The infrastructure is stable overall though!
### CentOS Stream
* We are now working on the sync-to-git process
* Tycho module was successfully added to Stream in development!
* We are also getting closer to having a contributor workflow model
available for later this year - watch this space!
* We are also working with upstream to generate reports for Stream too
As always, feedback is welcome, and we will continue to look at ways
to improve the delivery and readability of this weekly report.
Have a great weekend!

Due to the change in the status of Red Hat Summit
(https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/moving-red-hat-summit-2020-virtual-experience)
we have made the decision to postpone the CentOS Dojo at Facebook to a
later date. Many of our potential speakers, as well as many of our
attendees, had travel plans that were dependent on attendance at Red Hat
Summit, and without that event happening they are no longer able to travel.
If you have already registered for the event, we encourage you to stay
registered, so that we have an easy way to contact you about event
updates through Eventbrite.
We do still plan to hold an event at Facebook, but, due to the current
corona virus situation, we are holding off on making any firm plans
until the danger has passed.
We thank you for your patience and understanding, and hope to see you
when we reschedule.

Subject: [EPEL-devel] gnu-free-fonts-20120503-18.el8.0.1 still not
tagged into dist-c8-compose
To: <epel-devel(a)lists.fedoraproject.org>
Hi.
I was asked to repost a thread from the CentOS forum on this mailing
list:
Sorry for starting a new thread. But there has not been any activity on
the old thread for a month (2020-02-05) except for my request for a
status update a week ago (2020-02-26) for which there was no reply.
Can someone please tag the update so that it can be installed by users.
The packages available to users are still broken, even though the
update was built almost two month ago (2020-01-07).
For details please see the previous threads and bug reports:
https://forums.centos.org/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=73346https://forums.centos.org/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=72682https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=16759https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=16523
The bug was first reported 2019-10-03 and the fixed packages were built
2020-01-07 but are not yet available for installation/update and the
bug still affects users.
And before someone replies "should be fixed in RHEL first" before
reading the references above - this is a CentOS only bug that never
existed in RHEL.
Mattias

== notes/thoughts
Hi all, travel and the awesome CentOS Dojo in Brussels caught me a few days behind on
finishing the agenda for this meeting. Honestly, my processes are still evolving over
how late to bring in items, keep adding until the last hours, and/or when to call a
cut-off and publish.
You can read Rich's report of the Dojo here:

Video from Dojo presentations has begun to be available in our YouTube channel:
