forums + portal for {lang}.centos.org sites

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

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 publishing the meeting URL, as this often leads to disruptive behavior in meetings, as I am sure many of you have experienced. Rather, in the week before the meeting, we’ll send, to this list, a way to request an invitation to the meeting. In this way, we hope to limit the incidence of such disruptions, while also making the meeting available to anyone who wishes to attend. We will be working on the rules of engagement for these meetings, but they will be, at minimum: * Wait to be recognized by the Chair before speaking * Respect the Chair when told your time to speak is over - this will allow us to remain on agenda, and complete the meetings in the allotted time * In the event that there are Board-confidential topics, these will be put at the end of the meeting, in Executive Session, and guests will be asked to leave. We hope to minimize these items, but they do sometimes happen. The most common scenarios in which this may happen are personnel issues, or information that Red Hat wishes to share with the Board, but is not yet public. * Muting of participants, or, in extreme situations, ejection from the meeting, is at the sole discretion of the Chair. * Meetings will be recorded, and published to YouTube (possibly with edits/redactions, as approved by the Directors). Thus, by joining the meeting you consent to have your presence at the meeting, and anything you say during the meeting, made public. Because there will seldom be time for Q&A during the meeting itself, we plan to add a post-meeting IRC office hours session for followup questions. This will probably be scheduled for a week after the board meeting, to allow time to publish meeting minutes We welcome your comments about the above proposal, and thank you all for your patience as we implement these changes to our governance process.

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 and CentOS. Right now we are staffing up the team and expect to see us begin this work from October 2021. Keep an eye on the EPEL mailing list[1] and the associated tracker as we begin this exciting journey with the EPEL community.

De-branding in CentOS Stream 9
by Alex Iribarren 06 Dec '21

06 Dec '21

Hi all, While trying to run the CentOS functional tests on CS9[*], I noticed that several fail because of branding issues. For example, p_httpd/httpd_centos_brand_server_tokens.sh expects the server string to match `Apache.*\ (CentOS)`, when in fact the server line is: Server: Apache/2.4.51 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9) OpenSSL/3.0.0 This got me thinking about how de-branding is supposed to work in CS9. I would guess the usual process would have to be reversed now, where Red Hat would remove the CentOS brand from CS9 packages and add the Red Hat brand for the RHEL 9.0 builds, but clearly this isn't happening yet. I guess this is an oversight? Cheers, Alex [*] I know, I know, but I have to run *something* before you guys release your own functional test suite for CS9!

CentOS Stream 9 content available for cbs.centos.org : start your builds !
by Fabian Arrotin 30 Nov '21

30 Nov '21

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 already created some tags/targets for SIGs that already requested it some time ago through our dedicated infra tracker (reminder: https://pagure.io/centos-infra/issues) Worth knowing that the following repositories are enabled by default for all newly created 9s tags: - BaseOS - AppStream - CRB What's possible to add ? I know that for 8/8s some SIGs (like Cloud SIG for openstack) rely on other repositories, like HighAvailability , or others. Feel free to ask such repositories to be added to your build tags. It's also possible to build against CentOS Stream 9 buildroots if the pushed repositories don't include all -devel / runtime packages that you need at buildtime. For that, consider also asking for it if/when needed. Important ! Due to the way Stream 9 will be delivered (more news on that later, probably through Brian and/or Carl), I have locked all -release tags for 9s. What does that mean ? That you can build pkgs, and also tag to -testing (that will go out as usual to buildlogs.centos.org) but not to -release (even if tag is created already). Once we'll have figured out how to properly sign+push SIG content out, we'll announce the plan and also unlock the -release SIG tags Stay tuned for more information about that soon.

Board Nominations Requested
by Rich Bowen 29 Nov '21

29 Nov '21

** Please do read the message before responding with your nominations. We have a process, and if you don’t follow the process, it makes everything harder for everyone. Nominations go to a Google Form, and NOT to this list. Read on for more details. ** As per our governance docs - https://www.centos.org/about/governance/board/ and https://git.centos.org/centos/board/blob/master/f/directors/cohorts specifically - this is notification that we’re looking for nominations for directors to replace those departing at the end of this term. Every six months, half our our directors are asked if they wish to continue in their seats. That question has been asked, and we are awaiting the responses. Meanwhile, as you no doubt know, long-time director KB Singh has indicated that he will not be remaining for another term. To this end, we come to you, the CentOS Community, for nominations for who should fill those seats. Please submit your nominations to this form: https://forms.gle/G7mytxgHRpcYEC4ZA Please DO NOT send them to this list. There’s a few reasons for this: * Our governance indicates that the Board selects the next Board. We do not have any defined notion of project “membership” or a voting class of any kind, other than the Board itself. We do not wish to give any false impression that a public vote will be held on this list. * We do not wish for this to devolve into a bikeshed over proposed names. * We do not wish for individuals named to assume that they have any particular advantage over other nominees, nor do we wish for anyone to be shamed, embarrassed, or disappointed, if they are named and then not seated on the Board. The Board will collect those nominations, consider them at an upcoming meeting, and select the next Board at that time. We ask, if you wish to nominate someone, to consider the list of director requirements/recommendations listed at https://www.centos.org/about/governance/director-requirements/ It may also be wise to ask the individual if they are willing/able to serve. Thank you for your participation in this important moment in our project’s history. Rich, for the CentOS Board of Directors

RHEL docs in CentOS Stream
by Shaun McCance 27 Nov '21

27 Nov '21

The Content Services team inside Red Hat is working on upstreaming its RHEL documentation to CentOS Stream. This is going to take quite a lot of work, so it will be a gradual process. The team could use help in prioritizing which docs to do first. There are over 60 titles, and I won't bore you with the list, but they cover installation, upgrades, administration, containers, security, networking, identity management, storage, and virtualization, among other things. Some of them involve integrations with other Red Hat products, but those products are all built from community projects. I think I'd like to ask a single open-ended question, and then we'll figure out how that maps to existing docs. So: What features or procedures do you wish were better documented in CentOS? Thanks, Shaun McCance Community Architect Red Hat Open Source Program Office

Building oVirt Node and oVirt Engine Appliance on CentOS Infrastructure
by Sandro Bonazzola 25 Nov '21

25 Nov '21

Hi, we are now trying to build oVirt stable release content on https://cbs.centos.org/ and ship it to users via CentOS Virtualization SIG repos. Most of the packages are building fine (except ovirt-engine which still need some work, currently tracked on https://pagure.io/centos-infra/issue/527 ) The two most challenging builds are the oVirt Node and oVirt Engine Appliance which on oVirt jenkins are requiring lorax and imagefactory, running virt-install in nested virtualization. This seems to not be working in copr build flow and I expect it to not work on cbs. How can we build an OVA and an ISO within centos infrastructure for shipping it as part of the Virtualization SIG? I know there's https://ci.centos.org/ which may probably be able to do the same task we are running on jenkins.ovirt.org but I guess there's a more "standard" way to do it in CentOS infra. Thanks, -- Sandro Bonazzola MANAGER, SOFTWARE ENGINEERING, EMEA R&D RHV Red Hat EMEA <https://www.redhat.com/> sbonazzo(a)redhat.com <https://www.redhat.com/> *Red Hat respects your work life balance.

KDE Plasma Desktop in EPEL 8 has been updated
by Troy Dawson 24 Nov '21

24 Nov '21

RHEL 8.5 updated qt5 from 5.12 to 5.15. This allowed us to update the KDE Plasma Desktop in epel 8 to the latest version, per the update schedule[1]. That update is complete, tested and pushed to epel stable. ** New Versions qt5 - 5.15 (5.15.2 mainly) plasma - 5.23.3 kf5 - 5.88 ** Known Bugs - When running in Wayland (not X11), the start menu and notifications pop up in the middle of the screen instead of the side. ** Next Update - Per the update schedule[1], the KDE Plasma Desktop will remain stable in EPEL for a year. That goes for both epel8 and the upcoming epel9. Except for bugfixes, we do not expect any updates until RHEL 8.5 and RHEL 9.1. ** Packages that were not updated These packages still work, they just aren't at the latest versions. - kpmcore and kde-partitionmanager -- Newer versions of kpmcore need a newer util-linux (2.33.2) (RHEL8 has 2.32.1) -- Newer versions of kde-partitionmanager need a newer kpmcore - digikam -- Newer versions of digikam need opencv with the DNN libraries. They are not compiled on the RHEL 8 version of opencv. -- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2007780 - ktorrent and kf5-libktorrent -- Newer versions of ktorrent and kf5-libktorrent need boost 1.71.0 or higher.

MirrorManager link redirect issue
by Mike Rochefort 19 Nov '21

19 Nov '21

I just had a merge request[0] pulled into the osinfo-db project that adds CentOS Stream 9 details. This is used by tools like GNOME Boxes to discover and download ISOs as well as configure generic VM information. The MR stems from a user reporting Boxes wasn't listing Stream 9 as an available option. As part of the process I had to provide direct URLs to the Stream 9 ISOs. I would have preferred to have used the MirrorManager links, such as: https://mirrors.centos.org/mirrorlist?path=/9-stream/BaseOS/x86_64/iso/Cent… But these URLs don't redirect properly with tools like wget or curl, instead returning a list of available mirror links to download from. It works just fine in a browser, maybe I don't know the proper flags to pass to make this work as expected. Currently the base URL used is from the mirror.stream.centos.org site. Is there a way to make the MM links work, or is pointing to the CentOS mirror alright for this? [0] https://gitlab.com/libosinfo/osinfo-db/-/merge_requests/366 -- Mike Rochefort

qemu-kvm 6.1.0 with 16 PCIE root ports is broken
by Yedidyah Bar David 18 Nov '21

18 Nov '21

Hi all, I now filed [1]. Until it's sorted out, perhaps it's possible to temporarily handle this by excluding/removing the packages on the Stream repo, or something similar? This is especially problematic for oVirt users, because oVirt defaults to creating VMs with 16 such ports, thus all VMs are broken. Thanks and best regards, [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2024605 -- Didi

CentOS 7 updates not posted on centos-announce mailinglist anymore
by Gerd v. Egidy 18 Nov '21

18 Nov '21

Hi, new packages for CentOS 7 used to be posted on the centos-announce mailinglist. The last one posted was on 27th of September, but there were several updated rpms released in October and November that were not announced on the mailinglist. The mailinglist itself seems still to be working, as I got the announcement for Centos 8 2111 just fine. Could somebody responsible for the update / release process please look into this? Having the updates announced via mailinglist is very helpful if you do not have fully automatic updating activated, but do your own manual QA process before updating your servers. Thanks. Kind regards, Gerd

Is advanced-virt (Virtualization SIG) not relevant anymore with latest CentOS Stream 8?
by Igor Raits 16 Nov '21

16 Nov '21

Hello, I've noticed that the latest c8s repos ship libvirt/qemu-kvm (and other related things) newer than the advanced virtualization repository… which brings me to a question if it is still worth using those builds or not? I've been trying to dig into some mailing list conversations (which are pretty much non-existent at this point) and IRC meetings (which I did not see in October, but found one in November[1]). Found only mention that libvirt/qemu will not be available for power arches since c9s and that's what probably virt sig will build (if my understanding of meeting minutes are correct). Any piece of information would be very helpful :) [1] https://www.centos.org/minutes/2021/November/centos-meeting.2021-11-03-17.0…

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

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
