An update on RHEL moving to issues.redhat.com
by Brendan Conoboy 09 Sep '23

09 Sep '23

Hi folks, In March of this year, Josh Boyer sent out a message to Fedora's devel list letting everybody know RHEL was going to move from bugzilla.redhat.com to issues.redhat.com (Jira) in the future [1]. The work on this activity has proceeded with relative quiet since, although a couple weeks ago Florian mentioned on centos-devel that Platform Tools had begun to move [2]. I'm now providing a more official followup: All new issues found or desired in RHEL (Or CentOS Stream) need to be filed on issues.redhat.com. It's no longer possible to create new BZs for current RHEL (7 through 9) releases. Over the next few weeks, most RHEL BZs will be migrated to tickets in the RHEL project on issues.redhat.com. The BZs that are migrated will be closed with resolution MIGRATED and a pointer to the Jira issue included in the external links section of each respective BZ. Issues that don't get migrated may still be worked on in Bugzilla- only new BZ creation is disabled, and only disabled in RHEL products. Like before, most new RHEL issues are publicly visible by default, without any login required to view. As CentOS Stream development *is* direct RHEL development, this is a definite change, but hopefully only skin-deep. As an example, previously you might have created a RHEL 9 BZ with the Version field set to "CentOS Stream". On issues.redhat.com you would do the same thing by creating an issue in the RHEL project with the "Affects Version" set to "CentOS Stream 9". People are welcome to create an account on issues.redhat.com, just like was done on bugzilla.redhat.com previously, see what we're up to, file issues, and contribute there as well. We've created a hopefully-helpful article with account basics to get your account setup [3]. I've sent a corresponding message to fedora-devel, so apologies if you're reading this a second time.

Proposal for documentation layout on docs.centos.org
by Aleksandra Fedorova 06 Sep '23

06 Sep '23

Hi, folks, I was playing with the ways to organize the CentOS Documentation site and came up with the following proposal: https://hackmd.io/@bookwar/centos-docs-layout The link has more details but in short we need three categories of content: * User Documentation: everything about installing and administering the CentOS system. Large guides go here, as well as small Knowledge Base articles. * Project Documentation: All about processes and policies of the CentOS Project. * SIGs documentation: Documentation subtrees maintained by each Special Interest group on their own. Note that by SIG docs here I mean documentation written and owned by individual special interest groups. The current SIG Guide (https://sigs.centos.org/guide/) belongs to the "Project Documentation" section in this hierarchy. Each top-level item is then expanded to more sub-levels. For many of the items mentioned in the proposal we do not have the content written yet. But if we agree on the layout, we can start by rearranging existing documents to fit the hierarchy. Then we will be able to use the proposed map for any new content, which we add in the future. -- Aleksandra Fedorova Matrix: @bookwar:fedora.im Fediverse: @bookwar@fosstodon.org
