In the last Board meeting we discussed the future of git.centos.org, and
whether it would make sense to encourage SIGs to move over to GitLab, as
we already have a group at gitlab.com/centos and that's where CentOS
Stream development is happening (under gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream)
GitLab also provides features (notably, CI integration via Pipelines and
an improved code review flow) that some SIGs would like to use and would
benefit from.
To this end, I have filed https://git.centos.org/centos/board/issue/129
to summarize the discussion and decide the next steps. We'd welcome any
comments and feedback on this. To be clear, there are no plans to sunset
git.centos.org at this time.
Cheers

The CentOS Alternative Images SIG[1] has updated their CentOS Stream 9 Live
images this quarter. We also added 4 new Live desktop images.[2] We now
have
* CINNAMON
* GNOME
* KDE
* MATE
* XFCE
* MAX
MAX has all the desktops listed above, plus a few others like IceWM and
Lumina.
All of these live images can be installed on your system.
If there are bugs that are specific to the live images (not just general
CentOS Stream bugs) please file an issue in our spins bug tracker.[3]

Hi all,
The CentOS Board periodically reviews SIGs to ensure they're active.
The Alternative Architectures SIG is no longer active, so we intend to
retire this SIG unless somebody from the community wants to revive it.
Thanks,
Shaun

The recording has timestamps so you can skip to the parts that interest
you. Here are a few highlights of the meeting:
* The board talked about some details of migrating more SIG activity to
GitLab.
* There was a lengthy discussion about the Fast Track SIG proposal,
especially the name.
* The board talked about next steps for forming the SIG Council.
Hi folks,
We're holding another CentOS Shocase on April 7. This is our half-day
virtual conference that we're running 2-3 times per year.
https://www.centos.org/events/showcase-2025-04/
We'd love to hear what you're working on. The CFP is open until this
Friday, March 21.
Thanks,
Shaun

I’ve bisected the issue and identified that it was introduced by commit
selftests/bpf: Use auto-dependencies for test objects
https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/src/kernel/centos-stream-9/-/commit…
Hi *
I recently tried to compile a custom centos-stream-9 automotive SIG kernel
and failed.
Now I see the very same problem is present in the mainline centos-stream-9
kernel.
When I clone the sources from
https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/src/kernel/centos-stream-9 on a
freshly installed centos-stream-9 host, the make dist-all-rpms target fails
with
make[3]: rsync: Argument list too long
make[3]: *** [Makefile:768: test_progs-no_alu32-extras] Error 127
This is certainly not a problem with rsync and the ulimits are definitely
sufficient to deal with this ~2000 char argument list.
So what is going on here?
This rsync call appears to come from the
tools/testing/selftests/bpf/Makefile.
The problem persists if I BUILDOPTS="-selftests" and I understand bpf to be
a SKIP_TARGET by default, anyway.
Does anyone have a hint? What is missing or what am I missing?
Beste Grüße
Sebastian Hetze
