SIGs rpm packages in testing repositories will be signed starting from next week
by Fabian Arrotin 15 May '23

15 May '23

Hi SIGs folks (and testing community) ! Just to inform you that next Monday (May 15th) , we'll migrate our sign-and-push process to a different infra/machine, but you shouldn't see any service disruption. We'll also implement signing for the packages tagged to -testing, and so landing on https://buildlogs.centos.org. It's a request that came through the Infra tracker (https://pagure.io/centos-infra/issue/1131) and that was approved by the CentOS Project board (all details in that ticket) There is nothing to do at your side (it's not an opt-in scenario, it will be implemented for all SIGs), as it will be transparently processed next time you'll (un)tag-build a package (or more) to your -testing tags. (We can also manually process existing -testing repositories on demand , should there be a need/request) You can though bump your 'release' pkg (that contains the .repo files) to reflect gpgcheck=1 and point to same key as for repositories going to the mirror network, but that's optional (SIG's choice) I'll also update the SIG Guide (https://sigs.centos.org/guide/delivery/) to reflect that change.

RFC (Request for Comments) : future of lists.centos.org (aka centos mailing-lists)
by Fabian Arrotin 14 May '23

14 May '23

Let's chat about centos mailing lists ! https://lists.centos.org is powered by mailman package, available in CentOS 7 , itself going EOL next year. There is no packaged (yet) mailman3 stack (more components than simple mailman 2 stack). Options : # use mailman2 package from RHEL8 That means (in theory) that we can just reinstall the machine with RHEL8, and use the package that is available in AppStream repository: mailman.x86_64 3:2.1.29-12.module+el8.5.0+13466+327eb9f3.2 Normally that should be more or less (to be tested though) transparent migration, but as that module is still relying on python2 itself, we don't know when it will itself go EOL in RHEL8 (BaseOS should be 10y but apps in AppStream can have a shorter TTL) # migrate to mailman3 Clearly much more work to do including see if the mailman3 stack maintainer can branch to epel9 and then we can reuse it. Also time to investigate how to import previous archives from mailman2 to mailman3 but should be doable (needs time to investigate and a PoC) # something else ? All comments, opinions are welcome and let's discuss it in advance and not wait next year when machine will be powered off Kind Regards, -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 17F3B7A1 | @arrfab[@fosstodon.org]

RFC (Request for Comments) : future of bugs.centos.org
by Fabian Arrotin 10 May '23

10 May '23

Let's discuss https://bugs.centos.org ! For a long time, we used to only have one public tracker , powered by MantisBT (https://mantisbt.org/) , and it was https://bugs.centos.org Due to various changes in the CentOS ecosystem in the last years, some categories were removed/migrated elsewhere : - CentOS infra tracker : https://pagure.io/centos-infra/issues - CentOS Stream : https://bugzilla.redhat.com Some other SIGs also started to have (and document) their own tracker (see https://wiki.centos.org/ReportBugs) So the question is : while we can easily migrate bugs.centos.org to el9, should we ? All comments/remarks are welcome, and let's have a plan about what to do Kind Regards, -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 17F3B7A1 | @arrfab[@fosstodon.org]

2023-05-10 - CentOS Public Board Meeting
by Thomas Oulevey 09 May '23

09 May '23

Hi Everyone, Our next board meeting will take place at 20:00 UTC tomorrow: `date -d "2023-05-10 20:00 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 Zoom 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/SkDqdm_En 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. Sorry for the late announcement. thanks, -- Thomas 'alphacc' Oulevey CentOS Board of Directors Secretary alphacc(a)centosproject.org

The CentOS password reset procedure email is sent from: Fedora Account System <fas(a)fedoraproject.org> Does this mean that the password reset affects FAS as well? Thanks, Florian
