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

RFC: Stream Kernel SIG Proposal
by redbaronbrowser 19 May '21

19 May '21

There are four main goals of this SIG: First, break down changes in the Stream version 4.18.0 kernel into individual patches. When possible, document the source the patch is from and the purpose of the patch. Moving forward also document which Stream kernel package revision introduced the patch. Second, build CentOS Plus kernel for Stream. Third, package newer LTS kernels during the LTS lifespan. These would be available as alternative kernels for Stream similar to the CentOS Plus kernel. Fourth, work on tools for better delivery of live security patches to be applied via kpatch. The reasoning for this SIG is to improve the openness of kernels available through Stream. Normally a distribution upstream would have access to which patch or commit each addition to the kernel belongs to. The patch name or commit comment would also give information as to the purpose of the patch. Stream's kernel reports to be 4.18.0 but uses a tar that is 110% the size of a true 4.18.0 tar. A breakdown of the additional 10% is not provided. Hence Stream's kernel still functions similar to a downstream rather than providing what is expected for a successful upstream project. This SIG would help close the kernel openness gap by documenting the changes. Stream users would then be in a better position to track down individual patches that cause regressions or bugs. This SIG would also help smooth the adoption of Stream for users that depend on CentOS Plus kernel features. Next, this SIG should help improve feedback to the LTS kernel developers. Tracking LTS kernel changes may also help with documenting some changes in the primary Stream kernel. Lastly, this SIG should help improve kernel security by promoting methods to enable kernel security updates even when a reboot of the system is not possible.

Infrastructure SIG Bi-Weekly Meeting Report: 2021-03-29
by Aoife Moloney 31 Mar '21

31 Mar '21

Hi All, Please find below Infrastructure SIG report & meeting minutes from our bi-weekly meeting on Monday 29th March. Meeting minutes https://www.centos.org/minutes/2021/March/centos-meeting.2021-03-29-14.00.t… Attendees: amoloney (chair), bstinson, arrfab, bowen, mobrien Discussion: grant carlwgeorge access to mirror.centos.org Decision: approved Reason: continues the progression of being able to build test and push content out Action: arrfab to add carlwgeorge to appropriate setup Discussion: Add another person into IPA for CentOS to expand coverage for maintenance and support Decision: approved pending account migration completion and peerson(s) to be added to be discussed at next meeting on 12th April Reason: this will allow us time to review what level of support CentOS needs in IPA for Fedora once the migration is completed so we can add the correct number of people at the correct levels for better coverage and support Discussion: Should we be reviewing CentOS Board tracker in these meetings?

CentOS authentication switch : Last Call for you to verify/update your email address
by Fabian Arrotin 29 Mar '21

29 Mar '21

Hi all, We already announced multiple times the CentOS authentication merge with Fedora. That means that you'll use (starting next week) only *one* account for both projects. That also means that we asked *all* of you to have verified that if you registered an account on both sides before, you'd be updating your profile so that email addresses would match (as a primary key, used as filter for the import tool). As of today, we still have 175 CentOS user accounts in this conflicting situation :/ So this is the last call to ask you to verify and update your email addresses so that they match (if you are the same person that is). Important note from the script author : if you used your @fedoraproject.org email address to register your account on https://accounts.centos.org, the script will complain about "circular email address", as in new system, your @fedoraproject.org will be created *on*/*from* that new IPA based solution. So that means : update now on https://accounts.centos.org your email address to match the one from https://accounts.fedoraproject.org. If you think that you're late to the party, let me just say (after a very quick look) that it *also* concerns some CentOS Board/Core members :-) (subliminal message : update $now) As a reminder, every account *not* imported will lead to no group membership added, and so potentially no ACL applied to let you build on https://cbs.centos.org, or access any other service using new merged portal as authentication source. Kind Regards, -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 17F3B7A1 | twitter: @arrfab

Fedora/CentOS authentication merge : please read
by Fabian Arrotin 27 Mar '21

27 Mar '21

Hi All ! As announced multiple times (including but not limited to https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2021-February/076442.html), Fedora and CentOS will merge authentication soon. It was already merged for Staging environment, where SIGs contributors could test things and now it's time to really merge https://accounts.centos.org and https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts on the new system. Let me point you first to the mail sent to Fedora so please read it first to have a little bit of background/history : https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/announce@lists.fedoraproject.… As you can see, the Fedora migration will happen next week. Based on current timeline and agenda, we'll proceed like this for the CentOS migration : * Friday April 2nd : * We'll "freeze" https://accounts.centos.org in Read-only mode * Fedora infra team launches the fas2ipa script to import centos users/groups not existing (yet) in new IPA setup (if you had a fedora account matching your account in accounts.centos.org, you'll not be imported again, but rather be added to your imported centos groups - so merged -) * Monday April 5th * quick sanity check for the import script result and some internal checks, then * Real CentOS infra authentication switch : it's hard to give a timeline but we'll start with https://cbs.centos.org (I'll announce downtime in separate mail when we'll have full agenda) and then proceed with the other services. How will you be impacted ? If you use any kind of service authenticated by either TLS cert from https://accounts.centos.org (that's the case for cbs.centos.org, or mqtt notifications), you'll *have* to retrieve a new cert. (more information in the SIGGuide will appear on due time. Same for services using authentication tied to https://accounts.centos.org through https://id.centos.org (for openid/openidc, etc) So this mail doesn't contain all the information for how to retrieve new TLS cert, how to reset password, etc but more to give you the date when we'll have smallest possible downtime while reconfiguring system to switch to new authentication (FWIW, all changes were automated through ansible for our staging environment, so we'll just reapply same process for the production one) Have a nice week-end ! -- Fabian Arrotin (all excited to finally see this project arriving at deploy time) :) The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 17F3B7A1 | twitter: @arrfab

by Davide Cavalca 25 Mar '21

25 Mar '21

Hey folks, Wanted to signal boost that we've moved the Hyperscale SIG meeting to 16:00 UTC, still bi-weekly on Wednsdays. The next one will be on March 31. The CentOS Calendar is up to date as well: https://www.centos.org/community/calendar/#Hyperscale_SIG and has a handy ICS for your calendar. Meeting minutes for past meetings are up at https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Hyperscale/Meetings and we'll try and keep that up to date. Also, my talk at DevConf.cz 2021 has been published at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8x4CIetnCc on Youtube. While this isn't specific to the SIG, it does cover some of our work there so you might find it interesting. Cheers Davide

Stream naming
by Tim Bell 08 Mar '21

08 Mar '21

I see a number of different ways of naming CentOS Stream versions and it would be good to agree on a consistent one, especially as a number of other communities start to add stream support. Specifically, - Is it “CentOS Stream 8” or “CentOS 8 Stream” ? - Is it “cs8” or “c8s” ? Cheers, Tim

CentOS Stream Pull Requests: How to know about them?
by Miro Hrončok 03 Mar '21

03 Mar '21

Hello CentOS! I've recently opened this Pull Request: https://git.centos.org/rpms/python-six/pull-request/1 The only purpose was to see if the RHEL maintainers (my Red Hat team members) get notified. They were not. What is the supposed workflow here? There was no "CentOS" person who would respond to this Pull Request and the "RHEL persons" who could do something about this are not notified. Thanks, -- Miro Hrončok -- Phone: +420777974800 IRC: mhroncok

grub2 sources and build available for Stream
by Josh Boyer 03 Mar '21

03 Mar '21

Yesterday Red Hat released an updated grub2 errata to resolve a CVE. You can find more details about this here: https://access.redhat.com/security/vulnerabilities/RHSB-2021-003 While we have no CVE SLAs for CentOS, I thought it would be worthwhile to point to this given that grub and boothole have been hot topics recently. The sources for this fix are available in git.centos.org for CentOS Stream 8, and a new build has been completed. https://git.centos.org/rpms/grub2/commits/c8s https://koji.mbox.centos.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=16717 For those of you that also use RHEL, the CentOS Stream changes will land in a future RHEL minor release. Testing and feedback in any case is always welcome. Thanks to the CentOS team for getting this turned around very quickly. josh

Announcing ROSI - RHEL for Open Source Infrastructure
by Mike McGrath 03 Mar '21

03 Mar '21

Hi all, as I did last month I thought I'd keep the list up to date with today's free RHEL announcement: https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/extending-no-cost-red-hat-enterprise-linux-o… This one is targeted at Open Source projects and organizations. I know some of you, in particular, are interested in academic or non-profit uses. Today's announcement is *not* the one you're looking for so stay tuned, we're still evaluating some of the feedback and more announcements are planned. -- Mike McGrath Linux Engineering - Chicago Red Hat mmcgrath(a)redhat.com T: (312)-660-3547

I believe you when you say Red Hat has always been working as quickly as possible to Fix any Broken-Fixes. However, once they have the fix the lifecycle of the bug is over. Stream isn't interesting from the perspective of completed bug lifecycles. The interesting aspect to closing the openness gap is the mid-lifecycle of the bug. I am trying to focus on how quickly will Stream users be able to contribute to the fixing of a Broken-Fix. I am sorry if I am parsing too much into Mike's response, but it read to me like it is possible for the code to a Broken-Fix to, by policy, be withheld to only the "entitled" RHEL subscribers to access. I'm asking to what degree Red Hat expects to be able to take advantage us while an active Bugzilla entry exist because a CVE "fix" had unintended side-effects. Can we get quick transparency into accessing broken packages and code even if that broken build is a CVE "fix" related? Or is the policy that we will sit on the sidelines for Red Hat by itself to fix broken security patches much like CentOS has always operated before Stream?
