[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 03 Jan '24

03 Jan '24

Hi guys. To let @devel & freeIPA know - if one uses freeIPA -> $ dnf update -y Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 9 openh264 (From Cisco) - x86_64 1.7 kB/s | 2.5 kB 00:01 Error: Problem: cannot install the best update candidate for package ipa-selinux-4.11.0-3.el9.noarch - nothing provides selinux-policy >= 38.1.28-1.el9 needed by ipa-selinux-4.11.0-4.el9.noarch from appstream - nothing provides selinux-policy-base >= 38.1.28-1.el9 needed by ipa-selinux-4.11.0-4.el9.noarch from appstream (try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages) regards, L.

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.

2023-12-13 - CentOS Public Board Meeting
by Thomas Oulevey 11 Dec '23

11 Dec '23

Hi Everyone, Our next board meeting will take place at 21:00 UTC on next Wednesday: `date -d "2023-12-13 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/BJSN0HE8T 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

reporting to Redhat's Jira
by lejeczek 08 Dec '23

08 Dec '23

Hi guys. Where should bug reports go to theses days? I've been using Redhat's Jira for a while and inasmuch I can file against Centos, when I go RHEL and -> Centos as a product I get a pop-on windows but no matter how I fiddle with it, when I click _Create_ that pop-up only flashes, no errors nor warnings, but won't create a BZ. It that an incorrect way/place or something else is at play there or perhaps Jira suffers from some issues - would anybody know? thanks, L.

FOSDEM, Distros Devroom, and CentOS Connect
by Shaun McCance 04 Dec '23

04 Dec '23

Hi folks, In case you missed it, the Distributions Devroom will be back at FOSDEM 2024. The CFP deadline is TOMORROW: https://blog.centos.org/2023/12/distributions-devroom-fosdem-2024/ Are you doing something cool that would be interesting to people working on the various distros? You should submit a proposal. Also remember that we're hosting CentOS Connect the two days before FOSDEM. The CFP for that is open a bit longer, until December 18. Please submit proposals for anything related to CentOS or the wider Enterprise Linux ecosystem. We also have a half day for meetups. If you'd like to host a meetup around a team or project, submit that in the CFP system as well. https://connect.centos.org/ Thanks, Shaun

mdadm: --update=resync not understood for 1.x metadata
by Strahil Nikolov 03 Dec '23

03 Dec '23

Hi All, Recently I had to update a host that uses raid1 for /boot and /boot/efi and I noticed that my resync service is failing with "mdadm: --update=resync not understood for 1.x metadata”. Does anyone know why 'mdadm-4.2-rc2.el8.x86_64.rpm’ supports it but 'mdadm-4.2-13.el8.x86_64’ not ? Why the version is not properly bumped if such drastic change is intentional ? Best Regards, Strahil Nikolov
