Community build services and EPEL8
by Thomas Oulevey 31 Jul '19

31 Jul '19

Hello folks, In the planning of next Community build services, a new question came up. In the past we never allowed EPEL repositories to be used as external repositories for SIGs. Doing so, would allow to build against EPEL packages and not duplicate the work for maintainers in EPEL/SIGs. However it would mean also building against a moving target which can be difficult if EPEL policies are the same as today. As EPEL 8 is also in the making it would be good to hear what SIGs think about this specific issue. Let us know ! -- Thomas Oulevey

qemu-kvm-ev issues creating a VM
by Stefano Mingoli 24 Jul '19

24 Jul '19

Hello, not sure if it's the right place to post. I have a VMWare Workstation 15.1 VM based on Centos 7.6 (Kenel 3.10.0-957) with the CentOS-QEMU-EV repository enabled. Version of qemu is: 10:2.12.0-18.el7_6.5.1 I'm having an issue with qemu-kvm-ev, basically it looks like I'm not able to create any VM. I'm getting a "NMI watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 22s! [kworker/0:0H:5]" and the installation will not proceed. Everything works fine if I use the standard qemu-kvm B R Stefano Mingoli

Rpm post scriplet failed with exit status 1 but return status of rpm is 0
by Maheshwari, Shagun 15 Jul '19

15 Jul '19

Hi, On CentOS 6, when we try to install any rpm it fails with scriplet failed with exit status 1 but return status of rpm is also 1 which is correct. Example: But On CentOS 7, we are not getting return status of rpm as 1 it is coming 0, which is installing the RPM. rpm -Uvh /home/seldridg/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch/test-1.0-1.el6.noarch.rpm; echo $?

Hi, It looks like Fedora EPEL people are having issues with the "modules" architecture. You all are probably busy with CentOS 8. If anyone has spare time, take a look. https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/epel-devel@lists.fedoraprojec… thanks -- Lee

CentOS, Red Hat, and IBM
by Rich Bowen 09 Jul '19

09 Jul '19

CentOS community, Today marks a new day in the 26-year history of Red Hat. IBM has finalized its acquisition of Red Hat (https://www.redhat.com/en/about/press-releases/ibm-closes-landmark-acquisit…) which will operate as a distinct unit within IBM moving forward. What does this mean for Red Hat’s contributions to the CentOS project? In short, nothing. Red Hat always has and will continue to be a champion for open source and projects like CentOS. IBM is committed to Red Hat’s independence and role in open source software communities so that we can continue this work without interruption or changes. Our mission, governance, and objectives remain the same. We will continue to execute the existing project roadmap. Red Hat associates will continue to contribute to the upstream in the same ways they have been. And, as always, we will continue to help upstream projects be successful and contribute to welcoming new members and maintaining the project. We will do this together, with the community, as we always have. If you have questions or would like to learn more about today’s news, I encourage you to review the list of materials below. Red Hat CTO Chris Wright will host an online Q&A session in the coming days where you can ask questions you may have about what the acquisition means for Red Hat and our involvement in open source communities. Details will be announced on the Red Hat blog - https://www.redhat.com/en/blog Press release - https://www.redhat.com/en/about/press-releases/ibm-closes-landmark-acquisit… Chris Wright blog - Red Hat and IBM: Accelerating the adoption of open source - https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/red-hat-and-ibm-accelerating-adoption-open-s… FAQ on Red Hat Community Blog - https://community.redhat.com/blog/2019/07/faq-for-communities/ -- Rich Bowen - rbowen(a)redhat.com - CentOS Community Manager @CentOSProject // @rbowen

[Infra] - planned maintenance/outage : cbs.centos.org
by Fabian Arrotin 08 Jul '19

08 Jul '19

Due some maintenance/upgrade on the storage node holding all artifacts used on koji/CBS (https://cbs.centos.org) we'll have to shutdown (maintenance) the koji/cbs service. Migration is scheduled for """"Tuesday July 9th, 7:00 am UTC time"""". You can convert to local time with $(date -d '2019-07-09 07:00 UTC') The expected "downtime" is estimated to ~60 minutes , time needed to reinstall the storage node and have ansible reconfiguring it. Thanks for your comprehending and patience. on behalf of the Infra team, -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 17F3B7A1 | twitter: @arrfab
