New external-repo available in CBS - epel10z
by Greg Sutcliffe 10 Oct '25

10 Oct '25

Hey folks, Recently, we got a request to add an `epel10z` external-repo to Koji - you can check [1] for details on the longer background, but the short version is that EPEL has shifted to Stream by default, and so they have a corresponding EPEL branch that tracks RHEL major.minor (that is, epel10 = CentOS Stream 10, and epel10z = current RHEL 10.minor). You can see this in the EPEL 10 repo file [2], resolving to `epel/10z` for RHEL 10 builds. We've added the external-repo to Koji, and made it available: ``` $ cbs list-external-repos|grep z epel10z http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/10z/Everything/$arch/ $ cbs taginfo kmods10-repos-main-el10-build | grep epel10z 20 epel10z (http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/10z/Everything/$arch/, merge mode: bare), arches: inherited from tag ``` If this is something your tag(s) want to use, please open a ticket [3] as usual. Thanks! Greg PS.

RFC - debuginfod.centos.org usage (Stream 8 packages)
by Fabian Arrotin 05 Oct '25

05 Oct '25

[Request for Comments] We recently got a zabbix alert about disk threshold usage on https://debuginfod.centos.org service. As a reminder (and for context), while all previous centos linux releases had (for efficiency reasons) a split between .src.rpm (going to https://vault.centos.org) and *debuginfo* rpm packages (consuming a lot of bandwidth/disk space) going to http://debuginfo.centos.org , the plan changed when Stream 8 (and so Stream 9 and 10 too) landed. All packages were pushed out to mirror network, but not all variants (multiple ones due to Stream nature) were kept online. We were asked to provide a similar service to what Fedora was already offering and so that's how https://debuginfod.centos.org/ came to life : for people willing to debug pkgs, they can request "on the fly" corresponding debuginfo files/packages (see website for simple instructions) Now the question (and requests for comments) : We were still carrying on that server all the Stream 8 debuginfo packages, while technically not needed anymore (Stream 8 was removed from all mirrors when it went EOL in May 2024) ... But based on analysis done with Frank Eigler (maintaining the service with us), we discovered that in fact a third of all requests for debuginfod service are still about stream 8 (vs Stream 9 and 10) The question is so : can we just delete (imho, yes !) these old .el8. debuginfo packages (probably just analyzed in loop by AI scrapers these days) and so : - limit bandwidth needed for that machine - reclaim some storage space (instead of increasing in loop the backend disks) Opinions, thoughts, comments ? -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 17F3B7A1 | @arrfab[@fosstodon.org]

Action Required : Gitlab OSS subscription needs to be renewed (ask for CentOS board help)
by Fabian Arrotin 03 Oct '25

03 Oct '25

When logging in to work on something this Sunday, I was presented this banner on gitlab.com/CentOS : ``` Your Opensource subscription for CentOS will expire on 2025-10-13. If you do not renew by 2025-10-13, you can't use merge approvals, code quality, or any other paid features. ``` Can any member of the CentOS Board with contact at Gitlab ensure that action is taken immediately and seriously to ensure not blocking any SIG work happening now on Gitlab please ? Happy to be involved to finally myself having a kind of PoC with Gitlab (infra doesn't have any so far) Kind Regards, -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 17F3B7A1 | @arrfab[@fosstodon.org]

Testing new CentOS Stream Images
by Troy Dawson 30 Sep '25

30 Sep '25

Since CentOS Stream 9, the RHEL and CentOS Stream images have differed a little bit, because they have used different image building systems. RHEL uses Image Builder, while CentOS Stream used ImageFactory. CentOS Stream is finally able to use Image Builder, and we are getting ready to transition to the new images. Before we completely change over, we would like the community to look at the new images, test them, and give us feedback. Download Images From Here: https://composes.stream.centos.org/stream-9/images-gen2/ https://composes.stream.centos.org/stream-10/images-gen2/ Available Images: CentOS-Stream-Azure (aarch64, x86_64) CentOS-Stream-Container-Base (aarch64, ppc64le, s390x, x86_64) CentOS-Stream-GenericCloud (aarch64, ppc64le, s390x, x86_64) CentOS-Stream-Installer (aarch64, x86_64) [1] CentOS-Stream-Vagrant-Libvirt (x86_64) CentOS-Stream-Vagrant-VirtualBox (x86_64) CentOS-Stream-WSL (aarch64, x86_64) CentOS-Stream-ec2 (aarch64, x86_64) These images will not be getting updates unless we find a problem and need to test the fix. They do point to the regular dnf repos, so you can use them as you do any other image. We expect the testing to run for at least a month before we implement the change. Thank You CentOS Stream Team [1] - New: CentOS-Stream-Installer is a minimal installer, similar to other distributions minimal installer.

ksplice and CentOS
by Karanbir Singh 25 Sep '25

25 Sep '25

hi guys, lots of people on this list are keen on contributing to the CentOS effort - and one place where we could, as a group of people, make a massive difference is being able to deliver a ksplice upgrade model. A couple of people have started in silo's to try and get something together but I feel it might be a good time to try and see if we can do somethng as a group. Do we have people on the list who find the idea of rebootless kernel upgrades interesting ? Is there some desire to try and make that happen within the CentOS Ecosystem ? - KB
