If it is being moved, please wait a day or two, then try again. * And finally a reminder to please be patient when opening tickets for service issues in general as we are in the critical point in this move and all of our sys-admins and wider teams are assisting in the successful bringup of the reduced Fedora service and facilitation of the final hardware shipment and move. ### AAA Replacement * The team are focusing work on this ticket and collaborating with the Sustaining team for the next sprint, with the goal to have noggin installed & deployed to staging https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/9152 * The have also been addressing how to curtail spam email and more information on that effort can be found here https://github.com/fedora-infra/noggin/issues/27 * And have added the feature to allow groups with a prefix for groups to import to avoid overlaps between CentOS and Fedora https://github.com/fedora-infra/fas2ipa/issues/5 * Please feel free to check out the team kanban board for more information on the features the team are working on and have already completed here https://github.com/orgs/fedora-infra/projects/6 ### Fedora Messaging Schemas * The team are using a kanban approach for this project as Noggin takes priority until fully complete * The team have already built a list of applications that require messaging schemas, list can be found here https://hackmd.io/@nilsph/H1i8CAbkP/edit * They also have completed a readme which contains documentation on messaging schemas, a cookie-cutter template to create the schema and a definition of Done for writing a schemas https://github.com/fedora-infra/fedora-messaging-schemas-issues * The board they are working from can be viewed here https://github.com/orgs/fedora-infra/projects/7 ### Packager Workflow Healthcare * Project information: This is an investigative project that aims to look at the entire packager workflow as a single piece of tooling to identify where failures happen, and try to identify when and why packages fail at different points within the workflow. We hope to have two possible outcomes from this project at the end of the quarter (September): * The workflow breaks at X point and we will work on a solution to fix * OR * The workflow works fine, but we will need better monitoring on the pipeline so we will work on a solution for this * The team are using this Monitor-Script https://pagure.io/fedora-ci/monitor-gating/ * Current status: failing consistently because of CI test timeouts * The jenkins instance being used is under-resourced, jobs waiting up to 40 minutes for a node * They are using a workable dump of historical datanommer/datagrepper data for queries to pull metrics on the historical/aggregate Packager Workflow from as a baseline * And are working on an outline of the workflow steps (from packager PoV) and systems involved (CPE team PoV), identifying metrics to be measured * The teams work is being tracked here https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/cpe-cicd/kanban ## CentOS Updates ### CentOS * CentOS-infra project created https://pagure.io/centos-infra/ * Day to Day working with CentOS-infra being documented at: https://pagure.io/cpe/docs/pull-request/10 * New website is live https://www.centos.org ### CentOS Stream * Business as usual, the team are churning through building packages in Stream * They are also working on tooling to bring back some rpkg features 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 week!

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

NFSroot over wifi in CentOS 7 - graceful shutdown problem
by Dmitry E. Mikhailov 13 Jul '20

13 Jul '20

Hi, I've got a task to have a small number of laptops netboot Linux over WiFi. The kernel is loaded off the USB stick of cource, it's off topic for now. The WPA-supplicant daemon is started early by dracut off initrd. It works. Mostly. The problem is that upon shutdown systemd terminates all the processes FIRST and unmounts filesystems NEXT. Guess what? Upon termination, wpa-supplicant brings the wireless interface down and the system hangs being unable to unmount now-defunct NFSroot. There were some discussions regarding similar matter and there's even the RH Errata: https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2018:2447 But I'm woking on a fully updated CentOS Linux release 7.8.2003 and nevertheless I've got the problem. I don't have rights to see the BZ. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1593649 I'm deciding to use a quick and dirty hack to do a totally ungraceful shutdown/reboot: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/533307/systemd-fails-to-umount-man… Any better ideas? Best regards, Dmitry Mikhailov.

EPEL playground repodata
by Chris Schanzle 08 Jul '20

Hi, It appears[1] no pruning of old repodata is being done for the playground repo and the directory is excessively large (2.9GB) because of it. If this isn't the right place to report, please accept my apologies...pointers would be appreciated. Thanks! [1] https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/playground/8/Everything/x86_64/os/rep…
