forums + portal for {lang}.centos.org sites
by Karanbir Singh 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

installing cbs client on Fedora
by Ken Dreyer 06 Aug '20

Hi folks, What is the best way to get /usr/bin/cbs and the corresponding Koji profile config on Fedora? I'm wondering if we should package centos-packager in Fedora. My concern is that pull requests are not merged upstream at https://github.com/bstinsonmhk/centos-packager/pull/3 - Ken

Rebuilding OpenvSwitch and OVN from Fast DataPath in NFV Sig
by Alfredo Moralejo Alonso 21 Jul '20

21 Jul '20

Hi, During the last years OpenVswitch and OVN have become a major dependency for several projects and SIGs in the CentOS ecosystem, including OpenStack, oVirt and OpenShift. During this time each project has been following its own way with limited coordination (just some opportunistic cross-tagging between SIGs) and different approaches, rebuilding Fedora builds or FDP srpms from ftp.redhat.com from time to time in their own tags and repos. This has led to multiple issues and suboptimal usage resources so I think a good step ahead would be to use existing NFV SIG [1] as a collaboration area for all the interested projects to build, test and ship OpenvSwitch and OVN using public SRPMs from Fast Datapath [2]. What I'm proposing is that the interested people in becoming maintainers for OVS/OVN in NFV Sig request membership to nfv-sig group [3]. Then, we'll coordinate to request new tags/buildroots for OVS/OVN and start building and testing the required releases. Any thoughts on this proposal? Best regards, Alfredo [1] https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/NFV [2] ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/8Base/en/Fast-Datapath/SRP… [3] https://accounts.centos.org/group/members/sig-nfv

Missing sources for RHBA-2020:2659, RHBA-2020:2662 and RHBA-2020:2661
by plageat＠tut.by 29 Jun '20

29 Jun '20

Hi everyone, Is here any chance to get sources for RHBA-2020:2659, RHBA-2020:2662 and RHBA-2020:2661 to be imported to git.centos.org? Are they planned to be skipped completely like it was for RHSA-2020:2250? Is this new CentOS feature to skip importing sources, perhaps, there is any 'algorithm' behind this?

Querying koji
by Neale Ferguson 23 Jun '20

23 Jun '20

Hi, I was attempting to access the CentOS koji server via the --weburl= option of the koji command. When I do something like: koji --weburl=https://koji.mbox.centos.org/ list-tags I don’t get all the c8 tags I see if I use a browser and go to https://koji.mbox.centos.org/koji/tags. I seem to get all the fedora tags. I assume I am just using the wrong URL. Neale
