KDE Updated in EPEL9
by Troy Dawson 13 Nov '23

13 Nov '23

KDE has been updated in EPEL9. Versions: Plasma: 5.27.6 KF5: 5.108 Apps: 23.04.3 Known Issues: - kdepim-addons - Was not updated due to kf5-kitinerary not being updated due to older poplar in RHEL 9. -- The older version of kdepim-addons is not liking the newer libraries. -- Should be fixed this week. - lokalize - Does not install, has never installed. I kept thinking I could get it's dependencies in, but never have. -- I will be removing this package from epel9. Since it was un-installable, this shouldn't affect anyone. Deprecation: We are marking the following packages deprecated. They will not be in epel10. They will continue to be in epel9. - plasma-workspace-x11 - sddm-x11 Troy

status of CentOS Linux 7 usage in centos infra (please read)
by Fabian Arrotin 13 Nov '23

13 Nov '23

Hi all, As we're slowly approaching end of the year, and that 2024 is around the corner, I thought it would be good to discuss remaining centos linux 7 usage in our own infra, and so what to expect (or not). As a reminder, CentOS Linux 7 will go EOL in June 2024 so before that, we should have either decommissioned, or migrated from workload still running on CentOs 7 Here is the list of remaining services and action[s]: # mirrorlist/mirror network It's not a secret that starting from CentOS Stream 9, the default vhost for the mirror network is mirror.stream.centos.org, and the way dnf is configured by default is to use metalink prepared by Mirrormanager (hosted and maintained by Fedora infra team). So that means that : - all nodes behind mirror.centos.org can go away (and content pushed to vault.centos.org, as usual) and eventually (to be discussed) the A/AAAA record for mirror.centos.org completely removed from public DNS - mirrorlist.centos.org will also be decommissioned and so not answering anything anymore (A/AAAA record removed from public DNS too) The potential impact when we'll just decommission mirrorlist.centos.org is for SIGs building for RHEL (and not Stream) 8 and so still relying on mirrorlist= in their shipped .repo. The list of impacted SIGs should be really small and as the content itself will probably moved to mirror.stream.centos.org, there will be a different thread to discuss how to do that # 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. So in the current situation, we'll just decommission the forums in 2024 with no replacement. Should the situation change between now and June 2024, we'd be able to migrate (or not) the service. # mailing list (lists.centos.org) This is probably the only public service still running on CentOS Linux 7 and for which I intend to work with Fedora Infra about the mailman3 stack. Their plan is to have it in Epel 9 so that they can themselves upgrade and we can then modify our ansible role for mailman and also test a list migration from mailman2 to mailman3. # torrent trackers We used to have torrent files for CentOS releases, but it stopped with CentOS Linux 8 and no .torrent files are produced for Stream artifacts. As the infra is still running centos linux 7, and that it will not be needed anymore after CentOS 7 EOL, we'll just decommission the service entirely. # 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 -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 17F3B7A1 | @arrfab[@fosstodon.org]

2023-11-08 - CentOS Public Board Meeting
by Thomas Oulevey 06 Nov '23

06 Nov '23

Hi Everyone, Our next board meeting will take place at 21:00 UTC on Wednesday: `date -d "2023-11-08 21:00 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/B1UrTPIma 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
