ksplice and CentOS
by Karanbir Singh 25 Sep '25

25 Sep '25

hi guys, lots of people on this list are keen on contributing to the CentOS effort - and one place where we could, as a group of people, make a massive difference is being able to deliver a ksplice upgrade model. A couple of people have started in silo's to try and get something together but I feel it might be a good time to try and see if we can do somethng as a group. Do we have people on the list who find the idea of rebootless kernel upgrades interesting ? Is there some desire to try and make that happen within the CentOS Ecosystem ? - KB

anaconda dependency calculation?
by Nicholas Byrne 04 Aug '25

04 Aug '25

Hi all, I'm trying to find a tool that calculates all dependencies for a specific package or group of packages for use with CentOS 5 (beta) with the intention of putting together a custom single CD build of CentOS 5. With CentOS 4 i used a python script that used the hdrlist module to find all dependencies which borrowed code from a number of sources. I've looked at yumdownloader and how it checks dependencies (using the --resolve option) but if i pass it the list of packages defined in say the Base and the Core yum groups which generally form an absolute minimal install i end up with about 200 packages. If i do a custom install (using beta 1 disks) and deselect everything i end up with over 300 packages. So i'm guessing anaconda calculates dependencies in a slightly different way, can anyone point me to files/code where i should be looking to find out?

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

[RDO][OpenStack] Removal of Pike and Ocata Trunk repos
by YATIN KAREL 10 Jun '20

10 Jun '20

Hi, The topic was discussed in yesterday's RDO meeting[1] and to reach a wider audience it's being raised here. Ocata and Pike are in the Extended maintenance phase[2] for more than a year now, The promotion jobs which used to test these repos were dropped long ago[3][4]. Now we are planning to drop these trunk repos[5][6] in the first week of June, 2020. We already stopped building new commits for pike/ocata[7]. So if anyone still using these repos consider moving to upgrade to queens or any later releases. If something is blocking you to stop relying on ocata/pike repos raise your voice here so we can consider it before dropping the repos.

--- title: CPE Weekly status email tags: CPE Weekly, email --- # CPE Weekly: 2020-05-31 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. See our wiki page here for more information:https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/cpe/ ## General Project Updates Please check out our updated initiative timetable for briefing in new projects to our team here:https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/cpe/time_tables/ *Note: Initiatives are large pieces of work that require a team of people and weeks/months to complete. Please continue to open tickets in the normal way for bugs, issues, etc. Don't forget to view our taiga board to see the projects we are currently working on, what we have scoped and whats in our backlog https://tree.taiga.io/project/amoloney1-cpe-team-projects/kanban?epic=null I also currently have weekly IRC office hours on #fedora-meeting-1 @ 1300 - 1400 UTC and I will have a bi-weekly office hours on Centos-meeting @ 1500 - 1600 UTC beginning June 9th also, with Rich Bowen helping me set it up, thanks Rich :) There is (usually) no agenda for these meetings and is an open floor, so please feel free to stop by and chat casually, or about any projects the CPE team are working on/working on next. The choice of topic is completely yours :) ### Gitforge Just a quick note to say this project has not made any more notable progress. Our team have some very time-intensive projects currently in flight, so our focus has been and will be on the completion of these projects over the next few months. We are still using the gitlab project tracker https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/217350 to record issues/technical requirements, and thank you again for your patience during this slower period of the project, it is very much appreciated. ## Fedora Updates ### Data Centre Move * A reduced services offering of Fedora will be in effect from June 8th until July 28th, est. * This is to complete the final shipment of hardware from Phoenix to Washington, so please be patient and understanding during this timeframe as some services will be off and the rest, much slower. * Kevin Fenzi has sent some details on service validation and a call to arms to help us meet the June 15th deadline to have the reduced Fedora operational, please read: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/infrastructure@lists.fedorapr… * Details on what this move may mean for you can be found here https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel-announce@lists.fedorapr… ### AAA Replacement * Adding the ability to sign user agreements * Adding the blog/website attribute for users * Client library migration to python-freeipa 1.0.0. ### Mbbox * Project Dashboard here https://github.com/fedora-infra/mbbox/projects/1 * Sprint 3 is done: * Refactor molecule test suit to share test-cases * Koji-hub and koji-builder SSL issues solved * Sprint 4 is in progress * Kojira CRD * MBS Backend CRD (MBS doesn’t support fedora messaging) * Staging environment ## CentOS Updates ### CentOS * Post OCP4 cluster Installation tasks - storage, TLS cert/ IDP configs, exploring operators that we can use. * We have a public accessible ocp4 cluster (https://console-openshift-console.apps.ocp.ci.centos.org/) We are on the verge of figuring out subscriptions. * Documentation: https://centosci.github.io/ocp4-docs/ * Linux 8.2 work is still with QA ### CentOS Stream * The team are working on adding some 8.2 builds to Stream that failed or did not make it into Stream for whatever reason. 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!

Centos 8.1 - missing src.rpms (again)
by Antal Nemeš 31 May '20

31 May '20

Hi all, After the last updates to centos 8.1 packages, it seems the src.rpms have not been pushed to vault. For example, kernel-4.18.0-147.8.1.el8_1.src.rpm is nowhere to be found, even in 8.1.1911 I am also using this opportunity to again request that vault symlink for centos/8 be updated to point to latest (8.1.1911) state. Currently it is still pointing to 8.0.1905. Thanks and best regards, Antal
