c8-plus repo also ...
by Leon Fauster 19 Aug '21

19 Aug '21

With the recent thunderbird update (also provided via c8-plus repo), I wonder what will happen with this repo (maybe already answered). Will it also go EOL at the end of the year? -- Leon

In our ongoing effort to make CentOS governance more open and transparent, we would like to invite all of you to an open Q&A, "town hall" style meeting with some members of the CentOS Board of directors, as a followup to our recent board of directors meeting. This meeting will happen in #centos-meeting, on the Libera.chat IRC network, at 1400 UTC `date -d '1400 UTC'` <-- Display this time in your local time zone. We hope to have published the minutes of the August Board meeting by that time. All topics relating to the CentOS project are welcome. We remind you that interactions on #centos-devel (and other CentOS IRC channels) are expected to occur according to the guidelines laid out in the CentOS Code of Conduct - https://www.centos.org/code-of-conduct/ If you would like to submit comments/questions without being on the record, you are welcome to submit those comments/questions anonymously here: https://forms.gle/oUUfWFPU8gLMFYp8A , and I will read those in the meeting.

[infra] : Planned outage : CI environment
by Fabian Arrotin 17 Aug '21

17 Aug '21

Due to a previous hardware issue (https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/ci-users/2020-October/002124.html) we had a workaround in place that is still in place but is actually blocking a reorg of the infra used behind ci.centos.org. We are announcing a maintenance window that will permit us to move network switches, and reconfigure the network properly , allowing also us to redeploy/load balance our workload across remaining available infrastructure. Migration is scheduled for """"Tuesday August 17th, 1:00 pm UTC time"""". You can convert to local time with $(date -d '2021-08-17 13:00 UTC') The expected "downtime" is estimated to ~60 minutes , time needed to migrate services, reconfigure network switch and restart the nodes connected to new network switch. Impacted services in CI env: - duffy API (unavailable during the move to other hypervisor, so normally unavailable for ~10min) : no way to request a duffy node for bare-metal tests - jenkins (aka ci.centos.org) and all agents connected to it - cloud.cico (opennebula infra used to provide Virtual Machines for CI tenants) Thanks for your comprehending and patience. on behalf of the Infra team, -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 17F3B7A1 | twitter: @arrfab

oath-toolkit in c9s-pending
by Ken Dreyer 11 Aug '21

11 Aug '21

Is there some way I can find out more about why people untag builds from c9s-pending? For example, today jantill untagged oath-toolkit-2.6.6-2.el9 from c9s-pending, but "pskctool" and "oathtool" are still present in https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/release-engineering/pungi-centos/-/… The reason I care about oath-toolkit is that Ceph requires liboath-devel, and now I'm not sure what version is going to ship in CentOS 9 Stream. - Ken

Community Platform Engineering Team July Report
by Aoife Moloney 10 Aug '21

10 Aug '21

Hi all, Here is a quick snapshot of some of the work delivered by the Community Platform Engineering team during the month of July. If you have trouble reading this in email format, feel free to visit the hackmd link where it is published https://hackmd.io/@Ap8CkTlpSfmjb44UGV-kWA/rkW5c8W1t ## Fedora ### Infrastructure & Release Engineering * Mass rebuild completed * Additional power8 boxes installed in one of the datacentres ### Scheduled Q3 Projects #### Datanomer/Datagrepper **About** These apps are currently used to retrieve historical information about messages on the fedmsg bus and add them to a postgresql database. Datanomer reads-in messages from the bus and stores them in the database and Datagrepper exposes the messages in the database via an API with different filtering capacities. We want to upgrade these applications to use fedora-messaging and increase the performance of the applications for users. Work Tracker: https://github.com/orgs/fedora-infra/projects/10 **Delivered in July** * Converted datanomer.consumer to use fedora-messaging * Timescaledb is deployed in staging * Vagrant setup created to help new contributors hack on datagrepper easier #### Metrics for Apps on Openshift **About** The project team will deliver on the installation of newest Openshift in Fedora infra to be then configured with prometheus so applications can be hooked into this service and can be monitored and metricized through this tech stack for more comprehensive understanding of app behaviour, performance and troubleshooting. Work Tracker: https://pagure.io/fedora-infra/metrics-for-apps/boards/metrics-for-apps **Delivered in July** * Bootstrap Openshift Install * Staging cluster of Openshift 4 up #### DNF Counting Project **About**: The DNF counting project will enhance the currently existing program that captures a ‘countme’ value from computers running Fedora weekly. There are multiple scripts running from a server which parses the data into a csv file for graphing and displaying trends that had been misbehaving a lot. This program gives a good indication for how many computers use fedora so the project team will work on improving these scripts and the program overall to make it a more reliable and maintainable solution. Work Tracker: https://pagure.io/mirrors-countme/boards/DNF%20Counting%20Initiative **Delivered in July**: * Zuul CI testing enabled * Added F34 stats * Improved the syncHttpLogs script so that it retries on failure and has a timeout and no longer hangs quietly for long periods of time ## CentOS ### Infrastructure & Release Engineering https://pagure.io/centos-infra/issues * New Automotive SIG set up complete * New Infra SIG member added - Mark O'Brien (IRC:mobrien) ### CentOS Linux * Kmod secure boot signing is now in place ### CentOS Stream #### Stream 8 * Legacy composeinfo is now being generated for every compose * Kernel-4.18.0-326.el8 has been exported to git.centos.org and pushed to the mirrors for CentOS Stream 8 #### Stream 9 * Daily composes now being generated for Stream 9 * Stream 9 composes now does ec2 and generic qcow2 images * Tooling identified for package signing automation Thank you for your continued support and collaboration with our team across all communities, the work we achieve is not possible without that, and I look forward to updating you all on what we have accomplished at the end of August! Kindest regards & on behalf of the CPE team, Aoife -- Aoife Moloney Product Owner Community Platform Engineering Team Red Hat EMEA Communications House Cork Road Waterford

python3-virtualenv missing from CentOS Stream 9
by Ken Dreyer 08 Aug '21

08 Aug '21

python3-virtualenv is not in the CentOS Stream 9 composes. It's surprising to me because https://kojihub.stream.centos.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=6539 has a recent changelog entry "Rebuilt for RHEL 9 BETA on Apr 15th 2021. Related: rhbz#1947937". Can we add this to CentOS Stream 9 comps?

CS9 buildroots in CBS for SIGs
by Alfredo Moralejo Alonso 06 Aug '21

06 Aug '21

Hi, With regards to the update about the plans for CentOS Stream 9 in [1], when should SIGs expect availability of CS9 buildroots in CBS and be able to create c9 branches in git.centos.org?, once we have signed packages or after getting them published in mirrors? Best regards, Alfredo [1] https://blog.centos.org/2021/07/centos-community-newsletter-july-2021/

subversion / CS8 update / status of workflow
by Leon Fauster 05 Aug '21

05 Aug '21

Hi, inspired by a different thread here, I did a dnf distro-sync on a CS8 node and noticed that subversion would be downgraded: from subversion-1.10.2-4.module_el8.3.0+703+ba2f61b7 to subversion-1.10.2-3.module_el8.3.0+393+21cd8ae8 Coming from C8 and swapping the repos to CS8 leads to this situation (especially when doing upgrade instead of distro-sync) but that is not my point. The above downgrade path recovered that subversion in CS8 still does not have # rpm -q --changelog subversion-1.10.2-4.module_el8.3.0+703+ba2f61b7.x86_64 | head -3 * Mi Feb 10 2021 Joe Orton <jorton(a)redhat.com> - 1.10.2-4 - add security fix for CVE-2020-17525 Such question comes here and there again and again. How does the package update process in CS8 looks like? Is the process mature, any glitches. This subversion update already exists in C8 since February. Why is it not incorporated into CS8? Would CentOS Stream only be promoted as "upstream" development platform, then ... but its also promoted as successor of CentOS Linux for people with production fleeds. I do not argue that C8S should be like C8 (in a wider sense) but at least it should have some basal property (like updates are at most after 1 or 2 month all there or so ...). Any insight about the goal of the current process? Any wiki or doc page for that? Some transparency would be my main goal, to have base for decisions ... I'd really appreciate any feedback. Thanks, Leon

glibc with clone3 in the CentOS 9 buildroot
by Florian Weimer 05 Aug '21

05 Aug '21

We have merged a toolchain update which brings in a glibc build very close to glibc 2.34 upstream release. This build starts using clone3 for creating threads. This may require browser and container tools updates which adjust seccomp filters. clone3 kernel support is NOT required, but a proper “system call not supported” error (ENOSYS, like older kernels report without seccomp filters) or a working clone3 system call is now necessary. Thanks, Florian

RHEL build roots in CBS
by Jack Aboutboul 05 Aug '21

05 Aug '21

Hello All, I’ve opened an issue in the centos-infra pagure (https://pagure.io/centos-infra/issue/400) regrading getting RHEL buildroots in CBS. If you think your SIG would benefit from this, would you mind chiming in and registering your interest? I am sure that there are already several SIGs that this can be of use to and it would help the community at large. Thanks, Jack
