Chartering the CentOS Technical Steering Committee
by Brian Stinson 04 Oct '23

04 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

unplanned outage : community cage network issue
by Fabian Arrotin 02 Oct '23

02 Oct '23

Hi all, this Sunday, our zabbix monitoring platform informed us that there were plenty of nodes unreachable in community cage, and after some investigation it's a whole rack that was cut off access from network switches. That causes issues for multiple workloads, including duffy CI infra env, CentOS Stream env (aka https://testing.stream.centos.org) or storage/mirror servers used for https://cbs.centos.org. As we don't know when the root cause will be investigated by the network team managing the network infra, we have disabled the koji builders, so don't even try to submit builds to cbs.centos.org as they'd just be stuck waiting for builders to be available (themselves disabled until we have access to internal mirror) -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 17F3B7A1 | @arrfab[@fosstodon.org]
