[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

reminder : CentOS Linux 7 EOL / infra services disappearing in two weeks
by Fabian Arrotin 03 Aug '24

03 Aug '24

Hi, As discussed multiple times on various lists, CentOS Linux 7 will go EOL in two weeks (end of June) and so that means that various services running on CentOS 7 will disappear too . Apart from internal build infra for centos 7 itself (non public) that will be decommissioned, here are some services that will disappear: # mirrorlist.centos.org As the whole backend/frontend infra is running on centos 7 , and that everything Stream related (and now SIGs) was migrated to use mirrormanager (hosted by Fedora infra team), there was no reason to migrate/maintain it as all content will be EOL. # forums.centos.org Per discussion with the forums moderators, it will be powered off completely (not migrated) # torrent.centos.org In the past we used to provide .torrent for various centos linux releases, but it stopped with CentOS Stream. As the trackers (ipv4 and ipv6) are on centos 7, they'll disappear also end of this month -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 17F3B7A1 | @arrfab[@fosstodon.org]

You automatically are logged in at the console. To do a text-only install run './install_to_hard_drive' * Updated CentOS Logos. This isn't really anything our SIG did, but the logo's were updated in CentOS Stream 9, and this is the first release with these new logos. * Bugs fixed: We were accidentally pulling in a few packages not in CentOS Stream, or EPEL. This has been fixed. Image Names: CentOS-Stream-Image-CINNAMON-Live-9-202407091002 CentOS-Stream-Image-GNOME-Live-9-202407091002 CentOS-Stream-Image-KDE-Live-9-202407091002 CentOS-Stream-Image-MATE-Live-9-202407091002 CentOS-Stream-Image-MAX-Live-9-202407091002 CentOS-Stream-Image-MIN-Live-9-202407091002 CentOS-Stream-Image-XFCE-Live-9-202407091002 Enjoy!

2024-07-10 - CentOS Public Board Meeting
by Thomas Oulevey 09 Jul '24

09 Jul '24

Hi Everyone, Our next board meeting will take place at 20:00 UTC tomorrow `date -d "2024-07-10 20:00 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/SJZR8dJwA 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

[c10s] Older version of packages moved between repos stay in the old repo mirror
by Miro Hrončok 08 Jul '24

08 Jul '24

Hello, when we move c10s packages e.g. from AppStream to CRB, their older versions remain in the old mirrored repo. See for example: $ repoquery -q --repo=c10s-{baseos,appstream,crb} --queryformat='%{reponame}\t%{name}-%{version}-%{release}' python3-pytest c10s-appstream python3-pytest-7.4.3-3.el10 c10s-crb python3-pytest-7.4.3-3.el10 c10s-crb python3-pytest-7.4.3-4.el10 This is from https://mirror.stream.centos.org/10-stream/AppStream/x86_64/os/Packages/ The package is not in https://composes.stream.centos.org/stream-10/production/latest-CentOS-Strea… Is this expected? Is it desired? -- Miro Hrončok -- Phone: +420777974800 Fedora Matrix: mhroncok

RHSA-2024:1959 Shim-* and mokutil-* packages missing for centos 7
by vimo143＠gmail.com 03 Jul '24

03 Jul '24

I know Centos 7 has reached its end of life. The following packages to address RHSA-2024:1959 were missing in the Centos 7 repository and these fixes were released on April 2024 and Centos 7 was supported during that time. So would like to know whether we can get these packages for Centos 7 to address RHSA-2024:1959 mokutil-15.8-1.el7.x86_64.rpm mokutil-debuginfo-15.8-1.el7.x86_64.rpm shim-ia32-15.8-1.el7.x86_64.rpm shim-unsigned-ia32-15.8-3.el7.x86_64.rpm shim-unsigned-x64-15.8-3.el7.x86_64.rpm shim-x64-15.8-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
