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?

Proposal: CentOS Stream RISC-V Datacenter SIG
by Jeffrey Osier-Mixon 04 Mar '25

04 Mar '25

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 Jeffrey "Jefro" Osier-Mixon | josiermi(a)redhat.com Distinguished Community Architect, Red Hat Office of the CTO Automotive, RISC-V, Edge & IoT Communities

[needinfo] centos-stream-10 as TDX guests in google cloud
by bgartzia＠redhat.com 19 Feb '25

19 Feb '25

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 [0] https://console.cloud.google.com/compute/imagesDetail/projects/centos-cloud…

Kmods SIG Kernel Appreciation
by Alex Laurie 14 Feb '25

14 Feb '25

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 lot, but I had many DKMS issues with it). -- Cheers, Alex

Dear Members, The CentOS Virtualization SIG will not be holding regular meetings for the time being.

We appreciate your participation and look forward to engaging discussions online. Best, -- Sandro Bonazzola CentOS Virtualization Special Interest Group

CentOS Fast Track SIG Proposal
by Jonathan Wright 12 Feb '25

12 Feb '25

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 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 -- Jonathan Wright AlmaLinux OS Foundation Mattermost: chat <https://chat.almalinux.org/almalinux/messages/@jonathan>

2025-02-12 - CentOS Public Board Meeting
by Thomas Oulevey 11 Feb '25

11 Feb '25

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 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

Centos Stream devel repos on mirrors will be trimmed down
by Troy Dawson 10 Feb '25

10 Feb '25

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 each package. We will not be touching koji, or any other place these packages might be, only the mirrors. Troy Dawson
