RSB filling is enabled for CentOS 7 Kernel?
by Veetil, Vyshnav 30 Oct '18

30 Oct '18

Hi All, We ran the spectre meltdown checker tool provided by: https://github.com/speed47/spectre-meltdown-checker. And it says that we are still vulnerable to variant #2 since RSB filling is not enabled in our kernel When we googled, the following bugzilla from RH suggests that it is enabled by default: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cg ... 2018-15572 When I was checking the source code of the latest CentOS kernel ,i don't see this feature flag set anywhere - X86_FEATURE_RSB_CTXSW. Could you please tell us ,If the Latest CentOS kernel supports RSB filling or not ?! Regards, Vyshnav

multistage booting and grubby
by Element, Paul-Emile 30 Oct '18

30 Oct '18

Hi, We are working with a system configure to boot using tboot Using grub2 and multiboot2, we have grub2 booting tboot and then booting centos. Grub2 fully supports this scenario and it works fine. The problem we have is that some centos packages use grubby to modify the boot configuration / boot parameters. Grubby does not appear to have any support for this, and so all invocations of grubby end up doing nothing and fail silently. Question is, would you know if there is any plan to add support for multiboot2 in an upcoming version of grubby? Thanks, Paul-Emile

Upcoming changes to git.centos.org are now in staging
by Jim Perrin 26 Oct '18

26 Oct '18

In August, the CentOS Project and Fedora announced the intention to combine their dist-git sources, and since then Fabian Arrotin of CentOS and Patrick Uiterwijk of Fedora have worked to make that happen. Last week at the CERN dojo, they demonstrated this work, and today we’d like to welcome community testing of it. We’ll be keeping this content updated, so you'll be able to continue to track sources appropriately. You can help us by testing the new system, providing feedback, and contributing additional tooling to help improve the overall state of the project. Structure: Currently git.stg.centos.org and src.stg.fedoraproject.org are linked via RepoSpanner[1], and sharing common repositories. Packagers for the roughly 6700 common packages in both communities will see the additional branches.. For the Fedora community, there should be no changes required for the day to day operation of dist-git or packaging. CentOS community members will note that the platform change to pagure brings a variety of new features, including a new API[2] , a new UI, pull requests, and issue tracking. The current tooling for CentOS sources will continue to work (after updating to the staging server) and we plan to add support for tooling for centpkg, which would mirror the functionality found in fedpkg. In the coming weeks we'll be putting out documentation around the expected uses for pull requests, and the issue tracking features within pagure, as we don't intend it to replace bugs.centos.org. Permissions and ownership: There are protections enabled to prevent either community from accidentally overwriting code from the other, so only CentOS community members will be able to push to c#-* branches, while only Fedora community members can push to f#*/epel#* branches. With the new dynamic ACL validation in place, CentOS SIG members will automatically get the rights to push on their specific branches. While the repositories and content are shared between the communities, authentication is not. To push to c# branches, you will have to authenticate against accounts.centos.org. Similarly Fedora community members will continue to authenticate against accounts.fedoraproject.org. 1. https://github.com/repoSpanner/repoSpanner 2. https://git.stg.centos.org/api/0/ -- Jim Perrin The CentOS Project | http://www.centos.org twitter: @BitIntegrity | GPG Key: FA09AD77

Cockpit on CentOS 7 bugs/issues
by Harry Mallon 26 Oct '18

26 Oct '18

Hi all, I am trying cockpit on CentOS 7. 1. Cockpit-system v176 install subscription-manager by default. This is very annoying on CentOS as I do not have a subscription and do not want one. 2. Cockpit-system v176 has cockpit-sosreport rolled into it. However, the rpm does not have the sos package required as it should do. Who makes the packages for the "extras" repo? Is there a better place to report these issues? Harry Mallon Harry Mallon Senior Software Engineer T+44 203 7000 989 60 Poland Street | London | England | W1F 7NT

SIG reporting
by Rich Bowen 22 Oct '18

22 Oct '18

At the recent SIG day at CERN, we discussed more formal reporting from the SIGs to the broader community. In particular, we discussed quarterly reporting, covering the following topics: * Membership update (members added, removed. Chair changes.) * Releases in the most recent quarter (or most recent release, if none in that quarter) * Health report and general activity narrative. * Issues for the board to address, if any. So, this is 4 short paragraphs, to give the board, and the community, some idea of what the SIG is up to, and whether it is healthy. Not terribly onerous, but extremely valuable in discerning how our SIGs are operating. It was proposed that SIGs be arrange in a quarterly reporting schedule. I suggest the following schedule, starting in January of 2019: Group 1: Reports January, April, July, October * Core * Atomic * Config Management * PaaS * Software Collections Group 2: Reports February, May, August, November * Alt Arch * Cloud * NFV * Promo * Storage Group 3: Reports March, June, September, December * Artwork * Cloud Instance * OpsTools * Public CI * Virtualization I further propose that reports are due by the second Monday in the designated month. To this end, it is important that each SIG clearly designate a SIG chair, documented on your SIG wiki page. Some SIGs have this, and some do not. Some that have it are out of date, and the SIG needs to designate a chair again. Note that the chair is not necessarily a technical lead, they're just the person responsible for reporting - the voice of the SIG, if you will. If you have any questions or comments about this plan, please do speak up, so that we can work out any difficulties by January. Thanks. -- Rich Bowen: CentOS Community Manager rbowen(a)redhat.com @rbowen // @CentOSProject 1 859 351 9166

[SCLo SIG] new sclo-php*-php-ast packages available for testing
by Remi Collet 22 Oct '18

22 Oct '18

Yet another package available in centos-sclo-sclo-testing php-ast exports the AST internally used by PHP 7. php-ast is significantly faster than PHP-Parser, because the AST construction is implemented in C. However, php-ast may only parse code that is syntactically valid on the version of PHP it runs on. https://pecl.php.net/package/ast Can be used by Phan (PHP Static Anyalyser) https://packagist.org/packages/phan/phan For rh-php71 (EL-7 only) * sclo-php71-php-ast-1.0.0-1 For rh-php70 * sclo-php70-php-ast-1.0.0-1 Notices: Remi.

If you didn't attend yesterday's SIG day at CERN ...
by Rich Bowen 19 Oct '18

19 Oct '18

Yesterday at CERN we had a gathering of CentOS SIGs. We discussed changes that are coming in the CentOS infrastructure. We also discussed how SIGs can better engage with the larger CentOS community, and bring in broader participation from the user community, as well as from related projects (eg, how the Cloud SIG might attract participation from more IaaS platform projects.) I will be sending a longer report on the event once today's event is over. We had representation from only a handful of our SIGs, and we would like to understand why other SIGs did not attend, and what we might do differently next time to attract more of you to attend. To that end, I've made a very short survey that I would ask you to take 5 minutes to fill out if a) you're involved in one of our SIGs, and b) you did NOT attend our event yesterday. https://goo.gl/forms/A5P4yaxvduDDrw0T2 Thank you. -- Rich Bowen: CentOS Community Manager rbowen(a)redhat.com @rbowen // @CentOSProject 1 859 351 9166
