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 … [View More]

Proposal: CentOS Public Board Meetings
by Rich Bowen 07 Jan '23

07 Jan '23

In January of 2021, the CentOS Board of Directors opened our monthly meetings to all SIG chairs, in a first step towards more transparent governance. We wanted to see how the larger audience changed the meeting dynamics, if at all, as well as welcoming a broader pool of voices. We are now ready for the second part of this process. Starting in the August meeting, we will be inviting the entire CentOS community to attend these meetings. Due to the nature of the Internet, we won’t be simply … [View More]

CPE to staff EPEL work
by Rich Bowen 17 Dec '21

17 Dec '21

We are pleased to announce that Red Hat is establishing a small team directly responsible for participating in EPEL activities. Their job isn't to displace the EPEL community, but rather to support it full-time. We expect many beneficial effects, among those better EPEL readiness for a RHEL major release. The EPEL team will be part of the wider Community Platform Engineering group, or CPE for short. As a reminder, CPE is the Red Hat team combining IT and release engineering from Fedora … [View More]

Hi, Long awaited feature request is now implemented on https://cbs.centos.org : you can now start requesting 9s tags to build against/for CentOS Stream 9 !

I know that for … [View More]

Announcing centos-plus repo for 8-stream
by Fabian Arrotin 29 Oct '21

29 Oct '21

We used to have a "plus" repository for CentOS 7 and 8, that contained packages from OS, but rebuilt differently. Most known examples in CentOS 8 plus repository are the kernel-plus and thunderbird (with openpgp support). As CentOS 8 is going EOL end of this year, and that some us still need to rely on that specific thunderbird package, we agreed to just use the SIG process for the plus repository, instead of having such packages being built through the distro builders. So if you're … [View More]

Missing thunderbird 91.2.0-1 "plus"
by Chris Schanzle 28 Oct '21

28 Oct '21

Just noticed thunderbird 91.2.0-1.el8.plus is not available in the "plus" repo for CentOS 8. It does exist for CentOS 7. The plus release keeps encrypted email functional in the new 91.x ESR release by not removing a library RHEL doesn't want to ship/support. If there are other workarounds/things to install to make the non-plus version work, I would appreciate the info. Thanks!

CPE Weekly Update – Week of October 25th – 29th
by Akashdeep Dhar 28 Oct '21

28 Oct '21

Hello, This is a weekly report from the CPE (Community Platform Engineering) Team. If you have any questions or feedback, please respond to this report or contact us on #redhat-cpe channel on libera.chat (https://libera.chat/) If you wish to read in a well-formatted blog post, check the post on Fedora community blog: https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/cpe-weekly-update-week-of-october-2… # Highlights of the week ## Infrastructure & Release Engineering Goal of this Initiative ------… [View More]----------------- Purpose of this team is to take care of day to day business regarding CentOS and Fedora Infrastructure and Fedora release engineering work. It’s responsible for services running in Fedora and CentOS infrastructure and preparing things for the new Fedora release (mirrors, mass branching, new namespaces etc.). The ARC (which is a subset of the team) investigates possible initiatives that CPE might take on. Updates ------- ### Fedora Infra * Freeze breaks: added regions to aws fedimg uploads and fixed a caching issue with upgrade json * Rebooted: proxy34 and bvmhost-x86-07 * Tried to fix move of wiki talk pages, ended up creating PR to disable all talk pages. * At 66 tickets, but many should be closable after freeze ### CentOS Infra including CentOS CI * Kicked some migration for tenants on legacy cluster (nfs-ganesha) * Rebased cico-workspace container to 8-stream (staging) (Ref https://quay.io/repository/centosci/cico-workspace/build/b197513b-0105-4774… ) * Pushed some new ciphers in prod through ansible role to get A+ cert on Qualys (Ref https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=git.centos.org&hideResults=on ) * Mirrormanager tuning with Adrian for 9-stream inside CI infra (Ref https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mirrormanager/host/2751) * Added/announced aarch64 as covered architecture for CI infra tenants ### Release Engineering * F35 RC-1.2 is out and can be found at https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/35_RC-1.2/ * Business as usual ## CentOS Stream Goal of this Initiative ----------------------- This initiative is working on CentOS Stream/Emerging RHEL to make this new distribution a reality. The goal of this initiative is to prepare the ecosystem for the new CentOS Stream. Updates ------- * Basic Stream/RHEL Buildroot reporting is in place, thanks James! * Open discussion on pruning older packages from what we publish to the mirrors * Open discussion on the impact of consolidating the Stream 8 and Stream 9 workflows for maintainers * Business as usual ## CentOS Duffy CI Goal of this Initiative ----------------------- Duffy is a system within CentOS CI Infra which allows tenants to provision and access bare metal resources of multiple architectures for the purposes of CI testing. We need to add the ability to checkout VMs in CentOS CI in Duffy. We have OpenNebula hypervisor available, and have started developing playbooks which can be used to create VMs using the OpenNebula API, but due to the current state of how Duffy is deployed, we are blocked with new dev work to add the VM checkout functionality. Updates ------- * Set up a boilerplate with a skeleton application * Set up the CI in the repository with tests and coverage * Created a CLI for configuring parameters * Discussed workflows and methods for implementing models ## FCOS OpenShift migration Goal of this Initiative ----------------------- Move current Fedora CoreOS pipeline from the centos-ci OCP4 cluster to the newly deployed fedora infra OCP4 cluster. Updates ------- * Obtaining access on the cluster * Creating playbook to create OpenShift resources * Got the cluster updated and ready Thanks and regards, Akashdeep Dhar t0xic0der(a)fedoraproject.org akashdeep(a)redhat.com [View Less]
