CentOS Projects git repositories to move from git.centos.org to gitlab (a thread/please participate)
by Fabian Arrotin 24 Jul '25

24 Jul '25

I'd like to continue moving some git projects/repositories from https://git.centos.org to https://gitlab.com/CentOS (and eventually through different under project, like Artwork/Promo/etc). For unknown ones, I'd probably propose to just create corresponding hierarchy and put that under archives, so something like https://gitlab.com/CentOS/archives/git.centos.org/centos/<project_name>. That means we can easily write RewriteRules/Redirect from old to new one if that follows a pattern. Here is the list of projects hosted under https://git.centos.org/projects/centos/%2A , so I'd like to get opinions about where to move these (and some were probably already "moved" by some SIGs, who probably migrated silently to gitlab.com some time ago) : * artwork-archive * Artwork * bld-seven * board * buildsys-macros * c6-livemedia * cbs-content-control * cbs-tools * centos-infra-docs * centos-metadata * centos-module-defaults * centos.org * centos-packager * centos-torrents * centpkg * centpkg-minimal * comps * connect * infra-playground * kickstarts * livemedia * pungi-centos * releng * sig-guide * storage-sig-docs * stream-team-docs * t_docker * t_functional at least I see that can eventually move under Promo SIG (like centos.org website), and some others that some SIGs would like to pick up and host/manage under their SIG umbrella under gitlab.com/CentOS In lack of reaction to this mail, I intent to just massively import all under archives, *but* also lock these down as archives (so way to to commit/push nor open MR to these) So if your SIG wants to take ownership of some specific git repositories, that you use in your workflow, now is the time to say so. PS: Main ticket for git.centos.org is https://gitlab.com/CentOS/infra/tracker/-/work_items/1654 but for different type of projects (like /rpms/* will clearly be a different one), I'll create linked task to main one to reflect status -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 17F3B7A1 | @arrfab[@fosstodon.org]

Discussion: Thoughts of new sig - CentOS Rollup
by Troy Dawson 23 Jul '25

23 Jul '25

I have heard several times from different people and SIGs that they would like a Rollup (Snapshot) of their SIG's stuff, along with the corresponding CentOS Stream and EPEL release. So, I'd like to start a discussion about the possibility of creating a SIG that would rollup all of the "stuff" (images, repos, packages, documentation, etc...) from all the CentOS SIGs, along with the the corresponding CentOS Stream and EPEL releases, once a quarter. We could put all of that in AWS space, and leave it there for a period of time. Some people I talked to said a year, some said for the remainder of the corresponding Stream life. There are several details that would need to be worked out, but I'm sending this email out to start the discussion about the feasibility and desire for such a SIG. Troy

CentOS Alt Images July 2025 Update
by Troy Dawson 17 Jul '25

17 Jul '25

The CentOS Alternative Images SIG has released their July 2025 update of images. The easiest way to get the updates is from our download webpage. https://www.centos.org/altimages/ Our biggest news is our updated WSL image. [1] Utilizing the latest WSL features, it is now very easy to install and get running. It is very literally a click and run solution now. We also updated out WSL installation page to reflect the new way of installing. [2] Beyond WSL, we have the usual updates that happen in CentOS Stream and EPEL. My personal favorite is that KDE on CentOS Stream 10 is now at version 6.4.2 If you don't want to go to our download page, here is where the various released images are. CentOS Stream 9: Live Images: https://mirror.stream.centos.org/SIGs/9-stream/altimages/images/live/x86_64/ https://mirror.stream.centos.org/SIGs/9-stream/altimages/images/live/aarch6… WSL Images: https://mirror.stream.centos.org/SIGs/9-stream/altimages/images/wsl/x86_64/ https://mirror.stream.centos.org/SIGs/9-stream/altimages/images/wsl/aarch64/ CentOS Stream 10: Live Images: https://mirror.stream.centos.org/SIGs/10-stream/altimages/images/live/x86_6… https://mirror.stream.centos.org/SIGs/10-stream/altimages/images/live/aarch… WSL Images: https://mirror.stream.centos.org/SIGs/10-stream/altimages/images/wsl/x86_64/ https://mirror.stream.centos.org/SIGs/10-stream/altimages/images/wsl/aarch6… We hope these images are useful to you. Alternative Images SIG [1] - Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) lets developers install and use a Linux distribution on Windows 10 or 11 without the overhead of a traditional virtual machine or dualboot setup.

CentOS Infra tracker moving to Gitlab.com (please read)
by Fabian Arrotin 15 Jul '25

15 Jul '25

As proposed/announced/requested by the CentOS Board (https://lists.centos.org/hyperkitty/list/devel@lists.centos.org/thread/NFNC…) projects are now encouraged to migrate to gitlab.com/CentOS namespace, instead of using git.centos.org (pagure). While we'll announce the git.centos.org migration to gitlab.com later (for all the rpms/* projects), we (Infra team) thought that it would be a good idea to move ourselves (and board will probably follow soon ...) our own tracker from pagure.io to gitlab.com/CentOS/infra. # What will happen The current https://pagure.io/centos-infra/issues tracker will be exported/imported in a new project under gitlab.com/CentOS/infra (to be announced when migrated). All metadata/history from open/closed tickets, and labels will be imported (thanks to the work done by Akashdeep on https://github.com/fedora-infra/pagure-exporter/ , the tool used to migrate from pagure to gitlab !) Worth knowing that only tickets and content will be migrated, but as we can't impersonate users at gitlab.com sides, tickets will appear to be created by our bot account used for the migration. You'll be able (and we plan on closing open tickets on pagure.io with a link to new ticket on gitlab.com side) to just "subscribe/watch" new ticket to follow status updates. For new tickets, normal workflow will resume as you'll be the real user creating the ticket[s] (with your gitlab.com account, linked to your ACO/FAS account - see https://docs.centos.org/centos-sig-guide/auth/#linking-your-centos-account-…) # When will that happen Migration is scheduled for July 15th, around 1:00pm UTC The way we'll proceed will be : - create new tracker project on gitlab.com/CentOS/infra - transfer tickets with metadata (that can take some time) - close all open tickets with link to new ticket (same number !) on gitlab.com - set the issue tracker to "read only" on pagure.io/centos-infra - update README.md on pagure.io with some explanations and link to gitlab (in case people aren't following devel mailing list) -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 17F3B7A1 | @arrfab[@fosstodon.org]

CentOS Showcase
by Shaun McCance 14 Jul '25

14 Jul '25

Hi folks, We're holding another CentOS Showcase on July 28. CentOS Showcase is our half-day virtual conference series that we're trying to do three times a year. The CFP is open until July 21. We'd love to hear what you've been working on. https://www.centos.org/events/showcase-2025-07/ All talks are short, just 20 minutes, including any time you want to leave for Q+A. We run the event from 17:00 to about 21:00 UTC. This time slot best accommodates NA Pacific to EU Central. Apologies to folks outside that range. Round planets are hard. CentOS Showcase is free, but we strongly recommend registering. It helps us a lot with planning. The registration link is on the event page. Thanks, Shaun

Secure boot for CentOS Stream 10 (and soon 9)
by Adam Samalik 10 Jul '25

10 Jul '25

Hi everyone, CentOS Stream 10 now has a working secure boot! This shim-15.8-5.el10 build enabled it earlier this week: https://kojihub.stream.centos.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=79665 For that to work, the unsigned shim first had to go through a community review: https://github.com/rhboot/shim-review/issues/454 and after that get signed by Microsoft. The signed shim is now available on the mirrors. I'd like to thank Fabian Arrotin for pushing this through and testing, Marta Lewandowska for helping with the review and organization, Nicolas Frayer for all the packaging work, Peter Jones for handling the signing, and Brian Stinson for submitting the initial review. CentOS Stream 9 should have it in the following weeks as well. Cheers, Adam -- Adam Samalik --------------------------- Principal Software Engineer Red Hat

persistent mirror sync issues
by Colin Walters 09 Jul '25

09 Jul '25

Over the last few days it seems like many of the RPM mirrors are desync'd for some subsets of the repo. Many of my builds do `dnf builddep` and the `appstream|baseos-source` repos seem to have an especially high desync rate. $ podman run --rm -ti quay.io/centos/centos:stream10 bash # dnf --disablerepo='*' --enablerepo=appstream-source update CentOS Stream 10 - AppStream - Source 682 B/s | 3.0 kB 00:04 Errors during downloading metadata for repository 'appstream-source': - Downloading successful, but checksum doesn't match.

02 Jul '25

Hi * I am having difficulties compiling locally centos-stream-10 kernel (https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/src/kernel/centos-stream-10) on Fedora 42 x86 machine. I am trying to compile for x86 and aarch64 architectures. I am able to build on RHEL 10,without any difficulties. I am using : make dist-rpms make dist-all-rpms make dist-cross-aarch64-rpms Has anyone had a success in such a compilation?It seems to be impossible without making fixes to the build process

Reminder: Fedora Infra DC move (and impact[s]] on CentOS) next week
by Fabian Arrotin 29 Jun '25

29 Jun '25

As you're probably aware, Fedora announced some time ago (https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/fedora-datacenter-move-later-this-y…) that they'd move to a new DC. CentOS will also migrate, but majority of our infra is located in a different DC, and so we'll just announce when we'll migrate our own infra there (this year but not this quarter). The updated blog post version (https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/2025-fedora-datacenter-move-update/) was mentioning new Fedora plans and main ticket to track Fedora work is https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/12603 Fedora migration will happen next week, but let's list potential impacts on CentOS infra, the main one being probably/surely authentication. As you know, we use common authentication for Fedora and CentOS (so FAS accounts are also ACO accounts, same IPA cluster backend) # Authentication We have our own idp instance (https://id.centos.org) that is already running from new DC (migrated today) but we still expect some authentication issues next week when the whole Fedora infra will move from one DC to the other. That's true for things like : - https://accounts.centos.org (an app running in Fedora openshift cluster - that needs to be migrated, equivalent to https://accounts.fedoraproject.org ) => impact: users not able to sponsor/remove other from groups while maintenance is over - https://fasjson.fedoraproject.org (what permits to retrieve users/groups for some services and also TLS certs used to auth against CBS) => impact: services using fasjson endpoint to retrieve users/group membership will fail to sync (like cbs.centos.org, openshift, etc) All CentOS services will remain "up and running" but there will be some delays to reflect authentication changes. So if you'll encounter beginning of next week some small authentication issues, that can explain why (id.centos.org will be up and running but we depend on Fedora infra backend to be itself up and running). # mirrors and CentOS Stream / SIGs content Other potential impact for centos users : CentOS Stream is depending on Fedora mirrormanager to create needed metalinks used in .repo files. As mirrormanager main crawler will be down during the DC move, Fedora and CentOS users will just retrieve metalinks from "cached" information on Fedora proxies (outside of new DC). That means that operation involving dnf would sometimes fail to reflect new content being pushed out, as we don't know Fedora mirrormanager will be back online and with refreshed content set reflected by mirrors crawler. # CBS For SIGs using epel, we expect also issue while waiting for dl.fedoraproject.org to be up and running again. Other SIGs only building for/against CentOS Stream and RHEL will not be impacted -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 17F3B7A1 | @arrfab[@fosstodon.org]

TOMOYO in Red Hat kernels
by Tetsuo Handa 18 Jun '25

18 Jun '25

Hello. I hope that some of Red Hat kernel team members are subscribed to this list. I want to use TOMOYO in RHEL kernels. In accordance with Fedora -> CentOS Stream -> RHEL flow, as a first step, I opened https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2303689 and am waiting for response. Regards.
