[Feedback request] CentOS website theme readability
by Alain Reguera Delgado 17 Aug '24

17 Aug '24

Hi, The website theme is being updated to improve content responsiveness and readability, on both large and small screen devices. Your feedback would be very helpful to detect usability issues and consolidate a design that works well for you. Here is an example page you can use for testing: https://www.dev.centos.org/about/governance/sigs/#functional-sig-responsibi… Is the content of this page readable for you? If possible, provide feedback from both large and small screen devices. Thanks! -- Alain Reguera Delgado <alain.reguera(a)gmail.com>

forums + portal for {lang}.centos.org sites
by Karanbir Singh 16 Aug '24

16 Aug '24

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

by lejeczek 13 Dec '23

13 Dec '23

Hi guys. I've never paid much attention towards it - were ARM parts of Qemu always absents in Centos and if yes then: a( why? (Fedora seems to include those) b) is there anything in repos to emulate it? many thanks, L.

Thank you both for the information! I will use that repository. It seems is not yet available on some of the repositories we are using ( on some machines with Alma9): https://repo.almalinux.org/almalinux/9/extras/x86_64/os/Packages/ but this will have to be reported in another mailing list.

Hi all. We have upgraded to ceph reef v18.2.1 but only on EL8 centos-release-ceph-reef is available on EL8 but not on EL9, although I can see the packages here: https://mirror.stream.centos.org/SIGs/9-stream/storage/x86_64/ceph-reef/Pac… Is it going to be relased on EL9? Cheers, Álvaro

kickstart module stream has no effect ?
by lejeczek 22 Nov '23

22 Nov '23

Hi. I have in kickstart: module --name postgresql --stream 15 which seems to cause no errors but further down in %packages: postgresql postgresql-server and Anaconda stops, saying that those are missing. Also with: @postgresql:15/server Anaconda is not happy, saying that "group or modules" is broken. Installation is of Centos 9 latest. Any & all thoughts are much appreciated. many thanks, L.

centos-nfv-openvswitch package ovn23.09.x86_64 : Open Virtual Network support
by Sri kor 17 Nov '23

Hi Team, I am on Rocky linux version 9.1. I have installed the centos-nfv-openvswitch package repo. When I tried to install /upgrade ovn-controller, the latest version I could see was 23.06. But 23.09 is out and probably not available in this repo. Do we have any package repo to get the 23.09 version? Thanks Srini $ yum search ovn Not root, Subscription Management repositories not updated This system is not registered with an entitlement server. You can use subscription-manager to register.

Weekly meetings for the Docs SIG
by Shaun McCance 15 Nov '23

15 Nov '23

In last week's meeting, the CentOS board voted to formalize the Documentation SIG, with Amy and me as co-chairs. I'd like to start weekly meetings, like we do for the Promo SIG. I don't expect that everybody will make it every week. I've opened a poll to find a good time for everybody. Please fill it out if you're interested in participating: https://whenisgood.net/pfywzpz The poll is for the week of Nov 27 (I'll be out next week), but you should fill it in based on when you regularly (not necessarily always) have time each week. Make sure to select your location to see the times in your time zone. Thanks, Shaun

[infra] Planned outage : RDU2 network maintenance (please read) : 2023-11-17
by Fabian Arrotin 15 Nov '23

15 Nov '23

Due to a mandatory network maintenance at the RDU2 (Community Cage) facility/DC, we'll have to power off some CentOS infrastructure components hosted in that DC. Impacted services: - https://cbs.centos.org (impossible to submit any build, nor push to delivery network) - ns1.centos.org - all centos linux / stream 8 / stream 9 release engineering workflow (stream 8/9 can be built but not pushed out, while for the rest, all will be down) - https://git.centos.org - CI infra: - while openshift in aws is self-contained, there will be no way to request duffy nodes for tests - various other services Migration is scheduled for """"Friday November 17th, 1:00 pm UTC time"""". You can convert to local time with $(date -d '2023-11-17 13:00 UTC') The scheduled maintenance window (communicated to us) is estimated to 3h, but we'll restart infra services as soon as possible, following ourselves the current status internally. Thanks for your understanding and patience. on behalf of the Infra team, -- -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 17F3B7A1 | @arrfab[@fosstodon.org]

Though since CentOS Stream 8 will EOL before CentOS Linux 7, I guess it's a moot point and only EL8 SIGs supporting RHEL will be relevant to move off of m.c.o. > # CentOS Forums (https://forums.centos.org) > We discussed this already in the past (on this list and elsewhere) : > while we can quickly migrate that service to newer stack, the underlying > question was more about current moderators saying that nobody will > maintain that service after June 2024.

Should we be taking this opportunity to promote and direct CentOS Stream users to the CentOS category on the Fedora Discussion[0] platform? Similar to the Asahi Linux category, we could pitch up sub-topics to filter Project discussion and community support. While instant messaging and email platforms are available, I believe having an easier point of entry for longer lived and easily searchable material is a benefit to the community at large. Letting it passively wither or just outright decommissioning the platform without a similar service is not an ideal situation. Instant messaging is easy to get lost in and lose track of important discussions even with available *in-platform* search, and email is... well I don't think the vast majority of people on the net care for it that much or know how to use it "correctly". Maybe migrating to a HyperKitty platform like lists.fp.o[1] could help with that? > # centos linux 7 buiders (infra) > Not publicly visible but pretty obvious that we'll just keep that infra > running until CentOS Linux 7 EOL and then we'll just decommission it > entirely (as we'll not have to care about building/shipping anything for > centos linux 7 If there are hardware resources involved, would they be wholly decommissioned or repurposed for CentOS Stream + SIG usage?
