Queries on CentOS Stream
by Chan, Catherine [ITS] 09 Jan '21

09 Jan '21

Hi, I'm working in a University and we have a no. of servers running CentOS Linux. We chose CentOS Linux because it is free of charge. Recently we learned that CentOS is shifting focus from CentOS Linux to CentOS Stream. We are very concerned if CentOS Stream requires subscription and if updates/patches for CentOS Stream requires subscription. Can you help on my queries below: Question 1 Referring to 'FAQ - CentOS Project shifts focus to CentOS Stream' (https://centos.org/distro-faq/<https://secure-web.cisco.com/12vidbGo4KDeMy7BxwP79RXZ8adFilOrBfFEAuqwSj1E2G…>): Q2: What about the other releases of CentOS Linux? A: * Updates for the CentOS Linux 6 distribution ended November 30, 2020<https://secure-web.cisco.com/1AFEn0WSozOLnX5KWTyqLb81hqQsytVdWyuFXdazPwmDg4…>. * Updates for the CentOS Linux 7 distribution continue as before until the end of support for RHEL7<https://secure-web.cisco.com/1Vjg5-b7gAc7XPdTp009SgavZ85rt-79Y60WEjKdZHhQl-…>. * Updates for the CentOS Linux 8 distribution continue until the end of 2021; users can choose to switch over directly to CentOS Stream 8 * Updates for the CentOS Stream 8 distribution continue through the full RHEL support phase<https://secure-web.cisco.com/1Vjg5-b7gAc7XPdTp009SgavZ85rt-79Y60WEjKdZHhQl-…>. We will not be producing a CentOS Linux 9, as a rebuild of RHEL 9. Instead CentOS Stream 9 fulfills this role. (See Q6 below regarding the overlap between concurrent streams.) I don't quite understand the 4th point, 'Updates for the CentOS Stream 8 distribution continue through the full RHEL support phase<https://secure-web.cisco.com/1Vjg5-b7gAc7XPdTp009SgavZ85rt-79Y60WEjKdZHhQl-…>'. Can you further elaborate it? Does it mean that users will receive updates/patches for CentOS Stream 8 ONLY if they subscribe full RHEL support? Question 2 In the announcement, it states 'If you are using CentOS Linux 8 in a production environment, and are concerned that CentOS Stream will not meet your needs, we encourage you to contact Red Hat about options.' Can you highlight what are the drawbacks of CentOS Stream causing not encouraged to run on a production environment? Thanks very much in advance.

Re: [CentOS-devel] [Gluster-devel] Multiple Geo Rep issues due to SELINUX on CentOS 8.3

Hi Srijan, I will redeploy the scenario and I will check if the steps include that package. Shouldn't glusterfs-selinux a dependency ?

glibc-2.28-145.el8 with glibc-hwcaps support is coming to CentOS Stream 8
by Florian Weimer 08 Jan '21

08 Jan '21

We have rebased a large part of the glibc dynamic loader and the x86 CPU detection infrastructure to the current upstream version. These changes are going to land in CentOS Stream soon. These glibc changes mean that going forward, run-time selection of optimized shared object implementations is possible for all x86 processors (e.g., generic AVX2-optimized code that gets loaded on EPYC and Xeon Scalable processors). This is primarily being done to allow user application code to leverage this functionality. At this time, we are not adjusting or optimizing CentOS Stream packages themselves. Convenient developer support depends on GCC Toolset 11 and LLVM Toolset 12, which are yet to be released (even in their upstream versions). I’m working on some form of documentation on how to produce builds that are compatible with this feature for earlier toolchain versions. Other changes in the new glibc version include: * Backwards-compatible ld.so cache format changes to support glibc-hwcaps * --argv0 support in ld.so * DT_AUDIT support: The --audit option in binutils ld finally works as expected. * Enhanced --help output in ld.so: “/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 --help” shows library search path information. * TLS allocation improvements: dlopen is able to load shared objects that use initial-exec TLS in more cases. There is a new glibc.rtld.optional_static_tls tunable to support exceptionally large initial-exec TLS usage after dlopen. * The CPU tunable namespace has been renamed from “glibc.tune” to “glibc.cpu”. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask on-list.

Why gnutls update was built for c8 but not c8s?
by Igor Raits 06 Jan '21

06 Jan '21

Hello, The https://git.centos.org/rpms/gnutls/c/3ec527a2c4ad3bad520b1004a50c075d94cc80… has been imported month ago, but there was just build for c8 from today and none for c8s. Is the process of building automated, or who is responsible for building the updates for c8s? Thanks in advance for your help!

should we expect to close CentOS Stream bugs as dups of RHEL?
by Ken Dreyer 06 Jan '21

06 Jan '21

Hi folks, This RHBZ tracks a problem in CentOS Stream: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1901449 Today someone closed it as a duplicate of RHEL 8.4: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1901449 When is it appropriate to track a bug against RHEL 8.4 vs CentOS Stream? What do we expect community members (inside and outside RH) to do in these cases? - Ken
