Announcing rpmautospec support on cbs.centos.org
by Fabian Arrotin 11 Jan '24

11 Jan '24

A long time ago, some SIGs requested rpmautospec to be available on https://cbs.centos.org koji instance. Due to the fact that previous versions of rpmautospec were running on the kojid host, and not *inside* buildroots, and that it needed different version of pygit2/libgit2 conflicting with operating system, it wasn't possible to enable that feature ... ... But these days are gone now ! Thanks to the work done by rpmautospec maintainer (Nils Philippsen), rpmautospec is now divided into multiple packages, and mock 5.4 (released upstream last week) has the built-in logic (in mock-rpmautospec) to call rpmautospec in the populated buildroot. That means that from today, rpmautospec is implemented in cbs.centos.org , with the following needed changes : - at the kojid host level : bump to mock 5.4 and mock-rpmautospec plugin installed and enabled - at the kojihub level, the inherited buildsys9s-release tag has all the needed packages (https://cbs.centos.org/koji/builds?tagID=2363) required at runtime to process the %autorelease and %autochangelog entries # How to use it ? Basically SIGs asking initially to have it already know how to use it but using https://fedora-infra.github.io/rpmautospec-docs/ docs to understand %autorelease and %autochangelog is the only required thing. CBS doesn't have anything to understand as it's rpmautospec's job to process git logs to automatically convert these macros. That also means that it's really opt-in : if there is no %autorelease/%autochangelog, nothing will be processed, so the build will happen as it was in the past (no change) # When can we use it ? Whenever you want, as it was implemented today, and by the time you'll have read this email, cbs *should* have reprocessed the various build tags to see the inherited packages from buildsys9-release tag (packages needed in buildroot dynamically installed when %autochangelog and %autorelease are detected) # Limitation As said in the past, rpmautospec itself needed at least python3 (and deps), meaning that it wasn't available for el8. So trying to use rpmautospec for CentOS Stream 8 on cbs.centos.org wouldn't work (but Stream 8 itself will go EOL in ~3months anyway).

Feedback on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 plans
by John Cooper 11 Jan '24

11 Jan '24

Dear Sir/Madam, You’re currently exploring raising the instruction set base line, which will exclude some systems and also people (who are unable to afford to upgrade to reach the new baseline). I however want to draw your attention to the plans, to disable or remove megaraid based hardware from Dell. Doing so will cause issues and leave behind people in the home lab community behind. Also there’s also videos circulating from as recently as during 2022 recommending the Dell PowerEdge R620 rack servers. The people in the home lab community are in essence a source of recommendations for people considering whether or not to acquire Red Hat’s services. So having them on side is a very good thing! Just something to consider during RHEL 10’s development. Kind Regards, John Sent from my iPad

2024-01-10 - CentOS Public Board Meeting
by Thomas Oulevey 07 Jan '24

07 Jan '24

Hi Everyone, As we bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new one, the board of directors would like to take a moment to express their best wishes for each and every one of you. Happy New Year 2024! Back to usual business, Our next board meeting will take place at 21:00 UTC on next Wednesday: `date -d "2024-01-10 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/ryRY5KdO6 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

by lejeczek 13 Dec '23

13 Dec '23

Hi guys. I've never paid much attention towards it - were ARM parts of Qemu always absents in Centos and if yes then: a( why? (Fedora seems to include those) b) is there anything in repos to emulate it? many thanks, L.

reporting to Redhat's Jira
by lejeczek 08 Dec '23

08 Dec '23

Hi guys. Where should bug reports go to theses days? I've been using Redhat's Jira for a while and inasmuch I can file against Centos, when I go RHEL and -> Centos as a product I get a pop-on windows but no matter how I fiddle with it, when I click _Create_ that pop-up only flashes, no errors nor warnings, but won't create a BZ. It that an incorrect way/place or something else is at play there or perhaps Jira suffers from some issues - would anybody know? thanks, L.

FOSDEM, Distros Devroom, and CentOS Connect
by Shaun McCance 04 Dec '23

04 Dec '23

Hi folks, In case you missed it, the Distributions Devroom will be back at FOSDEM 2024. The CFP deadline is TOMORROW: https://blog.centos.org/2023/12/distributions-devroom-fosdem-2024/ Are you doing something cool that would be interesting to people working on the various distros? You should submit a proposal. Also remember that we're hosting CentOS Connect the two days before FOSDEM. The CFP for that is open a bit longer, until December 18. Please submit proposals for anything related to CentOS or the wider Enterprise Linux ecosystem. We also have a half day for meetups. If you'd like to host a meetup around a team or project, submit that in the CFP system as well. https://connect.centos.org/ Thanks, Shaun

mdadm: --update=resync not understood for 1.x metadata
by Strahil Nikolov 03 Dec '23

03 Dec '23

Hi All, Recently I had to update a host that uses raid1 for /boot and /boot/efi and I noticed that my resync service is failing with "mdadm: --update=resync not understood for 1.x metadata”. Does anyone know why 'mdadm-4.2-rc2.el8.x86_64.rpm’ supports it but 'mdadm-4.2-13.el8.x86_64’ not ? Why the version is not properly bumped if such drastic change is intentional ? Best Regards, Strahil Nikolov

Thank you both for the information! I will use that repository. It seems is not yet available on some of the repositories we are using ( on some machines with Alma9): https://repo.almalinux.org/almalinux/9/extras/x86_64/os/Packages/ but this will have to be reported in another mailing list.
