Proposal to default to GitLab for SIG packaging
by Davide Cavalca 18 Apr '25

18 Apr '25

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 Davide

AltImages SIG: Announcing new images
by Troy Dawson 14 Apr '25

14 Apr '25

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] Troy [1] - https://sigs.centos.org/altimages/ [2] - https://mirror.stream.centos.org/SIGs/9-stream/altimages/images/live/ [3] - https://pagure.io/centos-sig-alt-images/spin-bugs/issues

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 The Alternative Architectures SIG is no longer active, so we intend to retire this SIG unless somebody from the community wants to revive it.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

Curiosity: why CentOS Stream 10 has been codenamed "Coughlan" ?
by Sandro Bonazzola 19 Mar '25

As per subject, just curious about the background for choosing "Coughlan" as codename :-) Couldn't find any hint about it on the net.

What is missing or what am I missing? 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…

make dist-all-rpms fails with test_progs-no_alu32-extras Error
by Sebastian Hetze 05 Mar '25

05 Mar '25

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?
