EPEL 8 Modules get the axe on Halloween 2022
by Troy Dawson 14 Oct '22

14 Oct '22

When EPEL-8 was launched, it came with some support for modules with the hope that a module ecosystem could be built from Fedora packages using RHEL modules as an underlying tool. This has never happened and we have ended up with a muddle of modular packages which will 'build' but may not install or even run on an EL-8 system. Attempts to fix this and work within how EPEL is normally built have been tried for several years by different people but have not worked. At this point we are saying that this experiment with modules in EPEL has not worked and we will focus our resources on what does work. Schedule of EPEL 8 Module Retirement: Next Week: - epel-release will be updated. -- epel-modular will set enabled = 0 -- epel-modular full name will have "Deprecated" in it October 31 2022: - The EPEL 8 modules will be archived and removed. -- The mirror manager will be pointed to the archive. - Packagers will no longer be able to build EPEL 8 modules. After October 31st (Actual date to be determined): - epel-release will be updated again. -- epel-modular repo configs will be removed. Questions and Answers: Question: Will I still be able to access the modules after October 31st? Answer: It is not recommended, because the modules will not get any security or bug fixes, but yes. They will be in the Fedora archives, and the mirror managers will point at them. Question: What will you be dressed as on Halloween?

Try out the new RHEL module streams with the CentOS Stream 8 and 9
by Honza Horak 09 Oct '22

09 Oct '22

(I've sent this before, but it seems to have never reached the mailing list, so re-sending again; although less interesting today, when RHEL 8.7 and 9.1 Beta are already out, yet I believe the thoughts about Stream concept are worth looking at). As you likely know, CentOS Stream is a new concept that allows the community to see what future RHEL brings. Let me touch on a few specific things that you can test in CentOS Stream 8 and 9 for some time already, and couldn't see in a released RHEL until recently. Module streams concept is used in CentOS Stream 8 and 9 (and thus also in the future RHEL-8.x and RHEL-9.x versions) for delivering alternative versions of popular stacks for developers (except other components). You can for example try the latest Node.js version 18, Ruby 3.1, or Maven 3.8. How? Let's see an example with a CentOS Stream 9 container image: First, pull the CentOS Stream 9 image using podman and run it: #> podman pull centos:stream9 #> podman run -ti --rm centos:stream9 Then, use dnf to list available modules [root@ad0a3f9d2aa3 /]# dnf module list Here you see a couple of modular streams that are not enabled by default but are available in the repository in parallel to the default version (which is 3.0 in the case of Ruby and CentOS Stream 9). Now, the most important part, enable the latest available version of Ruby and install some packages: [root@ad0a3f9d2aa3 /]# dnf -y module enable ruby:3.1 [root@ad0a3f9d2aa3 /]# dnf -y install ruby And finally, check what version we actually have: [root@ad0a3f9d2aa3 /]# ruby --version ruby 3.1.2p20 (2022-04-12 revision 4491bb740a) [x86_64-linux] And you can follow a similar pattern for other module streams, that are on their way to the next RHEL minor release. This way, CentOS Stream and RHEL users can test the new content earlier than before and provide feedback in the BZ [2].

Is anybody triaging the CentOS Stream distribution bugzillas?
by Miro Hrončok 05 Oct '22

05 Oct '22

Hello, we (the Python maint team) have received several CentOS Stream 9 bugzillas assigned to the distribution component: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2104963 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2127325 We cannot fix them. Is *anybody* triaging such bugzillas? Who do we need to gently ping about them? Thanks, -- Miro Hrončok -- Phone: +420777974800 IRC: mhroncok

[messaging] any plans for RabbitMQ 3.10 and Erlang 25?
by Marcin Juszkiewicz 04 Oct '22

04 Oct '22

In OpenStack Kolla project we are building OpenStack components as container images. And some extra images for infrastructure. One of components we use is RabbitMQ. For each of supported distributions (CentOS Stream 9, Debian 11, Ubuntu 22.04) we want to use the same versions: - rabbitmq-server 3.10.* - erlang 25.* We use upstream provided repositories for each distro/arch as there are no up-to-date versions provided in distribution repositories. Are there plans for updating RabbitMQ and Erlang in Messaging SIG repo to 3.10.* and 25.*? This would allow us to support CentOS Stream 9 on AArch64 (where we now have no working builds and consider downgrading to whatever is in CS9 for now).
