c9s vagrant boxes
by Jack Aboutboul 06 Dec '21

06 Dec '21

Hello All, As part of our testing efforts of c9s we put together some vagrant boxes of c9s and we are wondering if there was any interest in us contributing these upstream? Boxes are here: https://app.vagrantup.com/almalinux/boxes/centos-stream-9 and the corresponding sources can be found here: https://github.com/almaLinux/cloud-images/tree/centos9s Thanks, Jack

De-branding in CentOS Stream 9
by Alex Iribarren 06 Dec '21

06 Dec '21

Hi all, While trying to run the CentOS functional tests on CS9[*], I noticed that several fail because of branding issues. For example, p_httpd/httpd_centos_brand_server_tokens.sh expects the server string to match `Apache.*\ (CentOS)`, when in fact the server line is: Server: Apache/2.4.51 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9) OpenSSL/3.0.0 This got me thinking about how de-branding is supposed to work in CS9. I would guess the usual process would have to be reversed now, where Red Hat would remove the CentOS brand from CS9 packages and add the Red Hat brand for the RHEL 9.0 builds, but clearly this isn't happening yet. I guess this is an oversight? Cheers, Alex [*] I know, I know, but I have to run *something* before you guys release your own functional test suite for CS9!

CentOS7 krb5-1.15.1-51
by Jacco Ligthart 02 Dec '21

02 Dec '21

Hi, I noticed that krb5-1.15.1-51 is missing from CentOS7. The previous version is now both in base and in updates. I'm guessing that somehow there has been made a small error, so that #50 is in the updates instead of #51 Jacco

CPE takeover Fedora social hour - today!
by Vipul Siddharth 02 Dec '21

02 Dec '21

Hey folks, The Community Platform Engineering team from Red Hat will join us today for the Fedora Social Hour call. This call would be slightly different from usual ones – as this time we won’t be breaking any rules when you talk $work (like always). We will have both, some from management and some engineers (including me) joining the call. If you have any Infra or CPE questions, we would love to talk and answer (what we do, why we do and what we are going to do are just a few examples). When we are out of questions, expect it to look like a general social hour. If you don't know what Fedora Social hour is, check https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/join-us-for-fedora-social-hour-every… Looking forward to seeing a lot of you

CentOS Dojo @ FOSDEM 2022, February 3rd and 4th 2022
by Rich Bowen 01 Dec '21

01 Dec '21

TLDR: CFP at https://forms.gle/mwEUJ65xYYsCUnYo6 As you may be aware, FOSDEM will be held online again in 2022. As such, we will be holding the annual FOSDEM Dojo online also, on Thursday and Friday, February 3rd and 4th. The Call For Presentations (CFP) is available at the URL above. We are seeking presentations about any aspect of the CentOS project. You are also welcome to submit talks about related project (RHEL, EPEL, and various RHEL rebuilds) if there is interest to the CentOS project community. In particular, we'd like to hear from as many SIGs as possible. The CFP will close on January 9th, 2022, 11:59 UTC. Note that this is a shorter window than we usually have, since we're getting a late start on planning. Please don't wait until the last minute. Further details will be at https://wiki.centos.org/Events/Dojo/FOSDEM2022 soon. (No, that page doesn't exist yet. That's my next task for today.) --Rich

CentOS Stream 9 content available for cbs.centos.org : start your builds !
by Fabian Arrotin 30 Nov '21

30 Nov '21

Hi, Long awaited feature request is now implemented on https://cbs.centos.org : you can now start requesting 9s tags to build against/for CentOS Stream 9 ! I already created some tags/targets for SIGs that already requested it some time ago through our dedicated infra tracker (reminder: https://pagure.io/centos-infra/issues) Worth knowing that the following repositories are enabled by default for all newly created 9s tags: - BaseOS - AppStream - CRB What's possible to add ? I know that for 8/8s some SIGs (like Cloud SIG for openstack) rely on other repositories, like HighAvailability , or others. Feel free to ask such repositories to be added to your build tags. It's also possible to build against CentOS Stream 9 buildroots if the pushed repositories don't include all -devel / runtime packages that you need at buildtime. For that, consider also asking for it if/when needed. Important ! Due to the way Stream 9 will be delivered (more news on that later, probably through Brian and/or Carl), I have locked all -release tags for 9s. What does that mean ? That you can build pkgs, and also tag to -testing (that will go out as usual to buildlogs.centos.org) but not to -release (even if tag is created already). Once we'll have figured out how to properly sign+push SIG content out, we'll announce the plan and also unlock the -release SIG tags Stay tuned for more information about that soon. Kind Regards, -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 17F3B7A1 | twitter: @arrfab

Board Nominations Requested
by Rich Bowen 29 Nov '21

29 Nov '21

** Please do read the message before responding with your nominations. We have a process, and if you don’t follow the process, it makes everything harder for everyone. Nominations go to a Google Form, and NOT to this list. Read on for more details. ** As per our governance docs - https://www.centos.org/about/governance/board/ and https://git.centos.org/centos/board/blob/master/f/directors/cohorts specifically - this is notification that we’re looking for nominations for directors to replace those departing at the end of this term. Every six months, half our our directors are asked if they wish to continue in their seats. That question has been asked, and we are awaiting the responses. Meanwhile, as you no doubt know, long-time director KB Singh has indicated that he will not be remaining for another term. To this end, we come to you, the CentOS Community, for nominations for who should fill those seats. Please submit your nominations to this form: https://forms.gle/G7mytxgHRpcYEC4ZA Please DO NOT send them to this list. There’s a few reasons for this: * Our governance indicates that the Board selects the next Board. We do not have any defined notion of project “membership” or a voting class of any kind, other than the Board itself. We do not wish to give any false impression that a public vote will be held on this list. * We do not wish for this to devolve into a bikeshed over proposed names. * We do not wish for individuals named to assume that they have any particular advantage over other nominees, nor do we wish for anyone to be shamed, embarrassed, or disappointed, if they are named and then not seated on the Board. The Board will collect those nominations, consider them at an upcoming meeting, and select the next Board at that time. We ask, if you wish to nominate someone, to consider the list of director requirements/recommendations listed at https://www.centos.org/about/governance/director-requirements/ It may also be wise to ask the individual if they are willing/able to serve. Thank you for your participation in this important moment in our project’s history. Rich, for the CentOS Board of Directors

RHEL docs in CentOS Stream
by Shaun McCance 27 Nov '21

27 Nov '21

The Content Services team inside Red Hat is working on upstreaming its RHEL documentation to CentOS Stream. This is going to take quite a lot of work, so it will be a gradual process. The team could use help in prioritizing which docs to do first. There are over 60 titles, and I won't bore you with the list, but they cover installation, upgrades, administration, containers, security, networking, identity management, storage, and virtualization, among other things. Some of them involve integrations with other Red Hat products, but those products are all built from community projects. I think I'd like to ask a single open-ended question, and then we'll figure out how that maps to existing docs. So: What features or procedures do you wish were better documented in CentOS? Thanks, Shaun McCance Community Architect Red Hat Open Source Program Office

Building oVirt Node and oVirt Engine Appliance on CentOS Infrastructure
by Sandro Bonazzola 25 Nov '21

25 Nov '21

Hi, we are now trying to build oVirt stable release content on https://cbs.centos.org/ and ship it to users via CentOS Virtualization SIG repos. Most of the packages are building fine (except ovirt-engine which still need some work, currently tracked on https://pagure.io/centos-infra/issue/527 ) The two most challenging builds are the oVirt Node and oVirt Engine Appliance which on oVirt jenkins are requiring lorax and imagefactory, running virt-install in nested virtualization. This seems to not be working in copr build flow and I expect it to not work on cbs. How can we build an OVA and an ISO within centos infrastructure for shipping it as part of the Virtualization SIG? I know there's https://ci.centos.org/ which may probably be able to do the same task we are running on jenkins.ovirt.org but I guess there's a more "standard" way to do it in CentOS infra. Thanks, -- Sandro Bonazzola MANAGER, SOFTWARE ENGINEERING, EMEA R&D RHV Red Hat EMEA <https://www.redhat.com/> sbonazzo(a)redhat.com <https://www.redhat.com/> *Red Hat respects your work life balance. Therefore there is no need to answer this email out of your office hours.*

KDE Plasma Desktop in EPEL 8 has been updated
by Troy Dawson 24 Nov '21

24 Nov '21

RHEL 8.5 updated qt5 from 5.12 to 5.15. This allowed us to update the KDE Plasma Desktop in epel 8 to the latest version, per the update schedule[1]. That update is complete, tested and pushed to epel stable. ** New Versions qt5 - 5.15 (5.15.2 mainly) plasma - 5.23.3 kf5 - 5.88 ** Known Bugs - When running in Wayland (not X11), the start menu and notifications pop up in the middle of the screen instead of the side. ** Next Update - Per the update schedule[1], the KDE Plasma Desktop will remain stable in EPEL for a year. That goes for both epel8 and the upcoming epel9. Except for bugfixes, we do not expect any updates until RHEL 8.5 and RHEL 9.1. ** Packages that were not updated These packages still work, they just aren't at the latest versions. - kpmcore and kde-partitionmanager -- Newer versions of kpmcore need a newer util-linux (2.33.2) (RHEL8 has 2.32.1) -- Newer versions of kde-partitionmanager need a newer kpmcore - digikam -- Newer versions of digikam need opencv with the DNN libraries. They are not compiled on the RHEL 8 version of opencv. -- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2007780 - ktorrent and kf5-libktorrent -- Newer versions of ktorrent and kf5-libktorrent need boost 1.71.0 or higher. RHEL 8 has 1.66.0 Troy [1] - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/KDE/EPEL#Update_Schedule
