Hello CentOS folks - this is a first email to propose a RISC-V SIG within
CentOS, specifically to support a CentOS Stream port for RISC-V. The idea
is to show that CentOS Stream can run effectively on many existing RISC-V
platforms, as these have already been demonstrated through Fedora. I'm very
interested in feedback on this, as I'd like to promote to the CentOS board
as soon as possible.
thanks

Hi,
I see public google cloud centos-stream-9 images [0] are already marked as TDX_CAPABLE. I assume centos-stream-10 images should also carry the TDX_CAPABLE guest OS feature (whenever they're available in gcp), is that correct?
Thanks!
Best regards,
Beñat

The recording of the January CentOS Board meeting is now available.
Watch the recording:

Read the minutes:
https://hackmd.io/@centosboard/SyyJmUWtkx
The recording has timestamps so you can skip to the parts that interest
you. Here are a few highlights of the meeting:
* We discussed the points raised at the FRCL meeting at CentOS Connect.
* Davide presented the progress on migrating SIGs to GitLab.
* The board discussed the recent proposal for a Fast Track SIG.
I only recently found out that the Kmods SIG is producing Fedora flavored
EL kernels. I installed 6.6 yesterday and it has resolved all my issues
with a device I have that wasn't being detected and it also had no issues
with the NVIDIA dkms drivers I use.
I just wanted to say thank you to the Kmods SIG team and know that the work
is appreciated. CentOS should have a blog post on this and be promoting it
on twitter as an option for EL users that need a newer kernel (I see ELREPO
recommended a …
[View More]lot, but I had many DKMS issues with it).

Dear Members,
The CentOS Virtualization SIG will not be holding regular meetings for the time being.
Instead, all discussions and collaborations should take place on our mailing list:
<https://lists.centos.org/hyperkitty/list/virt@lists.centos.org/>
If a meeting is needed for a specific topic, members can request one through the mailing list, and we will organize it as necessary.
We appreciate your participation and look forward to engaging discussions online.
Best,

Howdy,
I'd like to propose a new Special Interest Group focused on providing
primarily fixes in packages that are likely to be eventually merged into
CentOS Stream directly.
# Proposer(s)
- Jonathan Wright
- Michel Lind (copied)
# Purpose
This SIG is intended for fast tracking package updates that are beneficial
for those who run CentOS Stream in production, and have a high likelihood
of eventually being available in CentOS Stream (think within one minor
release of RHEL, not the next major …
[View More]release of Stream). The SIG especially
welcomes contributions from the rebuilder community aiming to foster
upstream collaboration.
# Mechanism
- builds with the same repos as normal CentOS Stream packages. EPEL is
/not/ enabled, but CentOS Stream buildroot will be enabled.
- but we don't distinguish between base, appstream, crb - we maintain one
repo and we assume CRB is enabled (use same mechanism as epel-release to
suggest people enable it)
- DistTag sorts lower than the normal Stream packages (e.g. ~el10), that
way we can submit our changes as-is as a merge request
- Vendor matches CentOS Stream base packages, that way we can interoperate
with packages from other SIGs, or on systems that have vendor locking
enabled
- packages built from one-off branches (e.g. the branch a merge request is
sourced from), so we can always start from the existing state of the
published Stream package

Hi Everyone,
Our next board meeting will take place at 21:00 UTC tomorrow
`date -d "2025-02-12 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/SyyJmUWtkx
As a reminder we will enforce …
[View More]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,

Currently, the normal CentOS Stream repos (AppStream, BaseOS and CRB) keep
the last 5 releases of a package. But the corresponding devel repos, which
contain the debuginfo and debugsource packages, keep all the packages.
This has caused these repos to get rather large and has been causing disk
space issues for those mirrors that choose to mirror them.
Starting next week, we will start trimming the devel repos the same way we
have been trimming the others, only keeping the last 5 releases of …
[View More]each
package. We will not be touching koji, or any other place these packages
might be, only the mirrors.

The results of the poll showed an interest in having both Stream 9 and 10
versions for the Epoxy release. Due to limited resources, we are looking
for volunteers in the community who would be interested in learning to
build the RPMs and help maintain them.
Please reach out if you are interested in participating in this effort.
