[Storage-SIG]
by Luis Domingues 25 Oct '23

25 Oct '23

Hello everyone. We sae ceph released ceph 16.2.14, and we want to upgrade to it. I can see on the build service that the build for el8 was done, but when I check the updates, I do not see any updates to 16.2.14. And if I look at: http://mirror.centos.org/centos-8/8/storage/x86_64/ceph-pacific/Packages/c/, I do not see them as well. Will 16.2.14 be pushed to el8 repos? Thanks, Luis Domingues Proton AG

RDO Bobcat Released
by Amy Marrich 24 Oct '23

24 Oct '23

RDO Bobcat Released The RDO community is pleased to announce the general availability of the RDO build for OpenStack 2023.2 Bobcat for RPM-based distributions, CentOS Stream and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. RDO is suitable for building private, public, and hybrid clouds. Bobcat is the 28th release from the OpenStack project, which is the work of more than 1,000 contributors from around the world. The release is already available for CentOS Stream 9 on the CentOS mirror network in: http://mirror.stream.centos.org/SIGs/9-stream/cloud/x86_64/openstack-bobcat/ The RDO community project curates, packages, builds, tests and maintains a complete OpenStack component set for RHEL and CentOS Stream and is a member of the CentOS Cloud Infrastructure SIG. The Cloud Infrastructure SIG focuses on delivering a great user experience for CentOS users looking to build and maintain their own on-premise, public or hybrid clouds. All work on RDO and on the downstream release, Red Hat OpenStack Platform, is 100% open source, with all code changes going upstream first. The highlights of the broader upstream OpenStack project may be read via https://releases.openstack.org/bobcat/highlights.html but here are some highlights: - New Cinder driver features were added, notably, QoS support for Fujitsu ETERNUS DX driver, replication-enabled consistency groups support for Pure Storage driver, and Active/Active support for NetApp NFS driver. - Glance added support for RBD driver to move images to the trash if they cannot be deleted immediately due to having snapshots. - The Neutron service has enabled the new API policies (RBAC) with system scope and default roles by default. - The Nova legacy quota driver is now deprecated and a nova-manage limits command is provided in order to migrate the orginal limits into Keystone. We plan to change the default quota driver to the unified limits driver in an upcoming release. It is recommended that you begin planning and executing a migration to unified limits as soon as possible. OpenStack Bobcat is not marked as Skip Level Upgrade Release Process or SLURP. According to this model ( https://governance.openstack.org/tc/resolutions/20220210-release-cadence-ad…) this means that upgrades will only be supported from the Antelope 2023.1 release. RDO Bobcat 2023.2 has been built and tested with the recently released Ceph 18.2.0 Reef version (https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/releases/reef/) which has been published by the CentOS Storage SIG in the official CentOS repositories. *Note:* Follow the instructions in [RDO documentation]( https://www.rdoproject.org/install/install-with-ceph/) to install OpenStack and Ceph services in the same host. During the Bobcat 2023.2 development cycle, the RDO community has implemented automatic dependency detection at run and build time. We expect that these changes will lead to more accurate dependency chains in OpenStack packages and less manual maintenance tasks for community maintainers. Following upstream retirement, some packages are not present in RDO Bobcat 2023.2 release: - python-networking-odl - python-networking-omnipath - python-networking-vmware-nsx - python-oswin-tests-tempest - python-os-xenapi - python-patrole - python-stackviz - python-vmware-nsxlib - python-vmware-nsx-tests-tempest Contributors - During the Bobcat cycle, we saw the following new RDO contributors: - Arkady Shtempler - Dariusz Smigiel - Dave Wilde - Fabricio Aguiar - Jakub Skunda - Joan Francesc Gilabert - Maor Blaustein - Mohammad Abunemeh - Szymon Datko - Yadnesh Kulkarni Welcome to all of you and Thank You So Much for participating! But we wouldn’t want to overlook anyone. A super massive Thank You to all 47 contributors who participated in producing this release. This list includes commits to rdo-packages, rdo-infra, and rdo-website repositories: - Alfredo Moralejo Alonso - Amy Marrich - Ananya Banerjee - Arkady Shtempler - Artom Lifshitz - Arx Cruz - Bhagyashri Shewale - Bohdan Dobrelia - Chandan Kumar - Daniel Pawlik - Dariusz Smigiel - Dave Wilde - Douglas Viroel - Enrique Vallespi Gil - Fabricio Aguiar - Giulio Fidente - Goutham Pacha Ravi - Gregory Thiemonge - Grzegorz Grasza - Ihar Hrachyshka - Jakub Skunda - Jiří Podivín - Jiří Stránský - Joan Francesc Gilabert - Joel Capitao - Karolina Kula - Karthik Sundaravel - Luca Miccini - Lucas Alvares Gomes - Luigi Toscano - Luis Tomas Bolivar - Maor Blaustein - Marios Andreou - Mathieu Bultel - Matthias Runge - Mohammad Abunemeh - Rodolfo Alonso Hernandez - Ronelle Landy - Sandeep Yadav - Slawomir Kaplonski - Soniya29 vyas - Szymon Datko - Takashi Kajinami - Tobias Urdin - Tom Weininger - Yadnesh Kulkarni - Yatin Karel The Next Release Cycle At the end of one release, focus shifts immediately to the next release i.e Caracal. Get Started To spin up a proof of concept cloud, quickly, and on limited hardware, try an All-In-One Packstack installation. You can run RDO on a single node to get a feel for how it works. Finally, for those that don’t have any hardware or physical resources, there’s the OpenStack Global Passport Program. This is a collaborative effort between OpenStack public cloud providers to let you experience the freedom, performance and interoperability of open source infrastructure. You can quickly and easily gain access to OpenStack infrastructure via trial programs from participating OpenStack public cloud providers around the world. Get Help The RDO Project has our users(a)lists.rdoproject.org for RDO-specific users and operators. For more developer-oriented content we recommend joining the dev(a)lists.rdoproject.org mailing list. Remember to post a brief introduction about yourself and your RDO story. The mailing lists archives are all available at https://mail.rdoproject.org. You can also find extensive documentation on RDOproject.org. The #rdo channel on OFTC IRC is also an excellent place to find and give help. We also welcome comments and requests on the CentOS devel mailing list and the CentOS IRC channels (#centos, #centos-cloud, #centos-devel in Libera.Chat network), however we have a more focused audience within the RDO venues. Get Involved To get involved in the OpenStack RPM packaging effort, check out the RDO contribute pages, peruse the CentOS Cloud SIG page, and inhale the RDO packaging documentation. Join us in #rdo and on the OFTC IRC network and follow us on Twitter @RDOCommunity.

[sig-core-t_functional] Failing tests issues and TERM
by Carlos Rodriguez-Fernandez 19 Oct '23

19 Oct '23

Hi Johnny, Adam, QA team When I saw the perf test being disabled, I ended up trying out removing the eval to see if that was the issue. I did try to reach out before bringing this change but I got no feedback. I see that yesterday it was disabled again, together with sysstat. What they have in common is the use of `trap` to cleanup files. Is that likely the issue? should I try removing the use of `trap` in all those tests and see if that solves it? Regards, Carlos.

Status of signing kernels in CBS?
by Pierre-Yves Chibon 19 Oct '23

19 Oct '23

Good Morning Everyone, I remember a while back discussions about allowing SIGs to sign kernel builds built in CBS. I don't remember seeing anything land though. Did I miss something? Or is this still an ongoing discussion? Thanks, Pierre

Platform Tools moving bugs from bugzilla.redhat.com to issues.redhat.com
by Florian Weimer 12 Oct '23

12 Oct '23

The Red Hat Platform Tools team (who maintain binutils, GCC, gdb, glibc, systemtap, valgrind, etc.) have begun to move bugs from bugzilla.redhat.com to issues.redhat.com, to the project called “RHEL”. We'd appreciate if future issues discovered in CentOS Stream were filed there directly. When filing new issues, please make sure that the Security Level is set to None, so that others can contribute, and select “CentOS Stream” under Projects. Please do not use the public “CS” project for reporting issues in specific RPM packages because we (Platform Tools) do not monitor it. (Compose issues and CentOS Stream issues should still be reported in “CS”.) Community members should be able to create a Red Hat account on sso.redhat.com and use that to login to issues.redhat.com. As far as I know, it's not necessary to agree to the Red Hat Enterprise Agreement, or any subscription terms. If that has changed, please let me know. The user experience should remain largely unchanged, although the underlying technology is completely different (Jira vs Bugzilla). If a bug is migrated, a notification is posted to the Bugzilla bug, with instructions how to find the migrated issue on issues.redhat.com. You will likely have to re-subscribe to the new issue after migration. In the future, logging into issues.redhat.com from time to time (every few weeks or months) will be required to keep receiving notification for your bug subscriptions. Thanks, Florian

working with gitlab / rpm locally
by Leon Fauster 10 Oct '23

10 Oct '23

Hi all, sorry if I'm late to the party. I need to touch a package again for a local customization and with the transition to gitlab I wonder how the new process looks like. In the past I used the tools from git.centos.org/centos-git-common.git like get_sources.sh and into_srpm.sh to work locally on packages from git.centos.org/rpms/. The lookaside stuff were here git.centos.org/sources/. So, how does one build a srpm nowadays? Where is the lookaside stuff? A look into https://docs.centos.org/en-US/stream-contrib/ didn't help. BTW, I'm not an fedora dev. So, if the process looks like the fedora one then I have no idea. Any help would be greatly appreciated! -- Thanks in advance, Leon

2023-10-11 - CentOS Public Board Meeting
by Thomas Oulevey 07 Oct '23

07 Oct '23

Hi Everyone, Our next board meeting will take place at 20:00 UTC on next Wednesday: `date -d "2023-10-11 20:00 UTC"` If you would like to attend please send me an email to alphacc(a)centosproject.org ( please do not reply to @centos-devel or use another email address) and you will receive a link to a meeting room with a passcode, 1 hour before the meeting takes place. The agenda can be checked at (work in progress) : https://hackmd.io/@centosboard/B1RoGTRla As a reminder we will enforce few rules : * 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/redaction, 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. I hope some of you can join. thanks, -- Thomas 'alphacc' Oulevey CentOS Board of Directors Secretary alphacc(a)centosproject.org

Chartering the CentOS Technical Steering Committee
by Brian Stinson 05 Oct '23

05 Oct '23

Hi Folks, I've filed the following for discussion with the CentOS Board: https://git.centos.org/centos/board/issue/123 I won't re-paste the text of the ticket here, but the overal vision for this group is to evaluate tools we use to build things in the CentOS project, coordinate technical effort among the SIGs, govern certain secure assets (like SIG Secureboot keys), and make recommendations for future technologies to make available in the project. To answer a couple of questions I've had so far: - This group is complementary to (but not replacing) the CentOS Infra SIG which is focused on execution of our technology strategy - Everything written in the description is open for discussion, and I look forward to hashing out some of the finer governance points as we go -- Brian Stinson brian(a)bstinson.com

ISA SIG meeting minutes
by Florian Weimer 04 Oct '23

04 Oct '23

This covers the last several meetings, for which I failed to send minutes. Sorries. # zlib-ng We want to replace zlib with zlib-ng (in compat mode) for CentOS 10 Stream. In support of that, it would be interesting to rebuild CentOS 9 Stream with zlib-ng in the buildroot (again, in compat mode). AI: Florian to talk to some folks and see what can be done to support the zlib-ng transition effort. # ISA SIG meeting at FOSDEM I've confirmed internally that there will be some CentOS-related activity in the days before FOSDEM. There could even be a slot in the official schedule for the ISA SIG if we wanted that. # Blog post highlighting Intel work on GCC 13 Previously, in a separate venue, Intel shared their GCC 13 performance work. We wanted to encourage them to write a blog post about it, but it turns out that it already exists: Build Innovation and Performance with GCC* 13 <https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/technical/build-…> # Upcoming AArch64 work. There might be some AArch64 work items in the ISA SIG space in the future (validating a GCC bug fix, and experimenting with LSE atomics now that the Raspberry Pi 5 with support for them has been announced). Thanks, Florian
