CPE Weekly Update – Week of November 08th – 12nd
by Michal Konecny 11 Nov '21

11 Nov '21

Hi everyone, 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 this in form of a blog post, check the post on Fedora community blog: https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/cpe-weekly-update-week-of-november-… # Highlights of the week ## Infrastructure & Release Engineering Goal of this Initiative ----------------------- 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. Update ------ ### Fedora Infra * Out of freeze, merged a bunch of post freeze work, more to come * Dnssec records finally fully updated away from sha-1 * Ibiblio hosts ipv6 all moved off old net/block * Attempted to move s390x builders to new mainframe, but hit issues, going to try again next week. * Fedora koji upgraded to latest upstream ### CentOS Infra including CentOS CI * Business as usual ### Release Engineering * Epel 9 next is in bodhi * New side tag for f35-kde * 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 ------- * We’ve updated RHEL 9 branching images in Dev Guide * Working on documentation and tidying up docs locations on the compose reporting work showing the diffs between RHEL/c8s/c9s composes * Package additions from RHEL appstream coming through to be added to CentOS Stream repos * Content resolver logic has been reviewed and re-written to accommodate a new buildroot functionality and working through adding package placeholders ## 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 ------- * Finished Work In Progress from last week * Logging * Database model * Configuration Framework * Tests started working successfully on Python 3.10, by magic! Test against Python 3.6 ~ 3.10 in CI. * Work In Progress * API endpoints for all the things * Planning delegating to bare metal and OpenNebula (VMs) ## 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 ------- * New Openshift role sysadmin-openshift to handle installation/configuration of OCP 4 tasks * Added oc client for ocp4 to the batcave01 PR * Pushed changes to allow connections from batcave01 to the ocp4 cluster, follow on ticket opened with RH IT to open ports in firewall also. ## EPEL Goal of this initiative ----------------------- Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (or EPEL) is a Fedora Special Interest Group that creates, maintains, and manages a high quality set of additional packages for Enterprise Linux, including, but not limited to, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), CentOS and Scientific Linux (SL), Oracle Linux (OL). EPEL packages are usually based on their Fedora counterparts and will never conflict with or replace packages in the base Enterprise Linux distributions. EPEL uses much of the same infrastructure as Fedora, including buildsystem, bugzilla instance, updates manager, mirror manager and more. Updates ------- * Fedora s390x builder migration was not successful, had to be rolled back and rescheduled, so epel9-next is still blocked * Epel9-next has been added to bodhi, allowing us to test the push pipeline with noarch packages (epel-release and epel-rpm-macros) * Additional ancillary work in mock-core-configs, bodhi, and fedpkg Kindest regards, CPE Team

Stepping away from the CentOS Board
by Jim Perrin 08 Nov '21

08 Nov '21

Hi folks, The TL;DR for this email: I intend to step away from the CentOS Board at the end of my term. I've deeply appreciated the opportunity to guide and contribute to the project since 2004, but it's time to give newer contributors their chance to lead. While I'm excited about CentOS Stream as the new Evolution in our community work, my obligations elsewhere require more and more of my attention. Since our policies ask for notice, I'm doing so a bit early so we have appropriate time to find candidates and they can clearly state their opinions and positions on matters for the project. I'd say "thanks for the memories and friendships over the years" but I'm not going far and I'm sure I'll continue to pester various folks when it's warranted. -- Jim Perrin The CentOS Project | http://www.centos.org twitter: @BitIntegrity | GPG Key: FA09AD77

[Kmods SIG] Release Announcement
by Peter Georg 08 Nov '21

08 Nov '21

Dear all, I'm pleased to announce that the Kmods SIG released the first bunch of packages. These packages have previously been available in testing repositories. To ease access and extend visibility these have now been released. Note about Secure Boot: All kernel modules are currently NOT signed by a private key, i.e. you need to disable Secure Boot to be able to use these kernel modules. Instructions how to enable the Kmods SIG repositories can be found here: https://sigs.centos.org/kmods/repositories/ The documentation [1] is still WIP but already provides some useful information. E.g. lists of currently available packages for Enterprise Linux 8 and Stream 8. Thanks and best regards, Peter (on behalf of the CentOS Kmods SIG) [1]: https://sigs.centos.org/kmods

Extras in CentOS Stream 9
by Brian Stinson 08 Nov '21

08 Nov '21

Hi Folks, With CentOS Stream 9 we are publishing SIG content separately from OS content to make things easier to deliver (http://mirror.stream.centos.org/9-stream/ vs. http://mirror.stream.centos.org/SIGs/). Everything under the 9-stream directory corresponds to a repository in RHEL and repo files are included by default in centos-stream-repos at install time. Currently (in CentOS Linux) SIGs build their own repo files into centos-release-<sig> packages and ask for their release in CentOS Extras. We also ship things like epel-release and elrepo-release in Extras. I'd like to continue this in Stream 9 but make things a little bit easier for SIGs to self-manage their repo packages. Proposal: - Extras will continue but as a SIG repository, including the appropriate tags in CBS, and a separate gpg key - Extras, beginning with Stream 9, will not contain any other content besides repo packages - Extras will be the only SIG repo included in centos-stream repos (to allow folks to dnf install other repo packages) - Each SIG leader (or a designate) will be an ex-officio member of the group, allowed to tag centos-release-<sig> packages in for publishing - Other repositories (like EPEL) may also have a member designated to manage its release package If this is something SIG leaders are interested in, I will take a formal proposal to the board for sponsorship. Any comments? --Brian

Hello, I've noticed that various checksums in https://composes.stream.centos.org/production/latest-CentOS-Stream/compose/… differ from the actual files (which actually causes issues with repository synchronization via pulp)… images/efiboot.img ba4708357be491ef543d64500f5cdd319bf3c02a3a804a3173053cbfdd8adc6b (real: 10752542594c7dc4893cde318f7d984d50fec213fd0b3031d1b11760b481f0ec) images/pxeboot/initrd.img 13e44ba46847be15122b1a353e293ea23b2ab153268e7eecb9004dae4faa7daa (real: 2ffa3ff06f9148bff8bea4926a0523268b8e10e5c7a708903945bac22b5f558a) Is this known issue? If not, where would one report it if not on this mailing list? Thanks in advance, Igor.

On behalf of the CentOS Board of Directors, and the whole CentOS community, I want to thank KB for his years of service as project leader and chair of the board. KB has shaped the project for almost 2 decades, and has made the world a better place by his work over the years. KB, it's been a privilege to work with you for the past few years. Thank you for your trust and respect as I've become part of that story. I wish you much joy in your future endeavors, and will always appreciate the chance to work alongside you on this great project. Please join me in thanking KB, and in telling your KB stories.

ceph and centos:stream8
by Ken Dreyer 02 Nov '21

02 Nov '21

Hi folks, We were using "centos:8" as a base for upstream Ceph images (https://quay.io/repository/ceph/ceph) ubi8's /etc/yum.repos.d/ubi.repo does not have all the packages we need, so we're considering switching to quay.io/centos/centos:stream8 as our new base image for Ceph upstream to keep the base images current. I'm posting this to the centos list to see if there are engineering concerns about which we should be aware. - Ken
