CentOS Connect
by Shaun McCance 24 Oct '25

24 Oct '25

Hi folks, We've announced CentOS Connect for January 29-30, 2026, in Brussels, Belgium. As usual, this is the two days before FOSDEM. https://www.centos.org/events/connect/ The CFP and registration are now open. Registration is free, but we really need you to register to help us plan. Details are on the website. We have a hotel room block, but don't have booking link just yet. Check back next week. We're looking into some options for a reception, which could be on the Thursday or Friday. If you attended last year, you might remember our waffle party. That was a blast, but we completely filled the place with no room to grow. Stay tuned. We'll also hold a docs day on Monday, February 2, the day after FOSDEM. We've done this the last few years. This is a working session to hack on the website and docs. If you want to join, get in touch with the Docs SIG at sig-docs(a)centosproject.org . Let me know if you have any question. I'm looking forward to seeing a lot of you in Brussels again. Thanks, Shaun

New external-repo available in CBS - epel10z
by Greg Sutcliffe 10 Oct '25

10 Oct '25

Hey folks, Recently, we got a request to add an `epel10z` external-repo to Koji - you can check [1] for details on the longer background, but the short version is that EPEL has shifted to Stream by default, and so they have a corresponding EPEL branch that tracks RHEL major.minor (that is, epel10 = CentOS Stream 10, and epel10z = current RHEL 10.minor). You can see this in the EPEL 10 repo file [2], resolving to `epel/10z` for RHEL 10 builds. We've added the external-repo to Koji, and made it available: ``` $ cbs list-external-repos|grep z epel10z http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/10z/Everything/$arch/ $ cbs taginfo kmods10-repos-main-el10-build | grep epel10z 20 epel10z (http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/10z/Everything/$arch/, merge mode: bare), arches: inherited from tag ``` If this is something your tag(s) want to use, please open a ticket [3] as usual. Thanks! Greg PS.

Hi guys. Do we have 'postgresql-server' in some default repo? I see there is a module but it seems to be "empty". If not what method do you recommend for pgsql? many thanks, L.

RFC - debuginfod.centos.org usage (Stream 8 packages)
by Fabian Arrotin 05 Oct '25

05 Oct '25

[Request for Comments] We recently got a zabbix alert about disk threshold usage on https://debuginfod.centos.org service. As a reminder (and for context), while all previous centos linux releases had (for efficiency reasons) a split between .src.rpm (going to https://vault.centos.org) and *debuginfo* rpm packages (consuming a lot of bandwidth/disk space) going to http://debuginfo.centos.org , the plan changed when Stream 8 (and so Stream 9 and 10 too) landed. All packages were pushed out to mirror network, but not all variants (multiple ones due to Stream nature) were kept online. We were asked to provide a similar service to what Fedora was already offering and so that's how https://debuginfod.centos.org/ came to life : for people willing to debug pkgs, they can request "on the fly" corresponding debuginfo files/packages (see website for simple instructions) Now the question (and requests for comments) : We were still carrying on that server all the Stream 8 debuginfo packages, while technically not needed anymore (Stream 8 was removed from all mirrors when it went EOL in May 2024) ... But based on analysis done with Frank Eigler (maintaining the service with us), we discovered that in fact a third of all requests for debuginfod service are still about stream 8 (vs Stream 9 and 10) The question is so : can we just delete (imho, yes !) these old .el8. debuginfo packages (probably just analyzed in loop by AI scrapers these days) and so : - limit bandwidth needed for that machine - reclaim some storage space (instead of increasing in loop the backend disks) Opinions, thoughts, comments ? -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 17F3B7A1 | @arrfab[@fosstodon.org]

Action Required : Gitlab OSS subscription needs to be renewed (ask for CentOS board help)
by Fabian Arrotin 03 Oct '25

03 Oct '25

When logging in to work on something this Sunday, I was presented this banner on gitlab.com/CentOS : ``` Your Opensource subscription for CentOS will expire on 2025-10-13. If you do not renew by 2025-10-13, you can't use merge approvals, code quality, or any other paid features. ``` Can any member of the CentOS Board with contact at Gitlab ensure that action is taken immediately and seriously to ensure not blocking any SIG work happening now on Gitlab please ? Happy to be involved to finally myself having a kind of PoC with Gitlab (infra doesn't have any so far) Kind Regards, -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 17F3B7A1 | @arrfab[@fosstodon.org]
