how do we create CentOS' comps.xml
by Ken Dreyer 22 Jan '21

22 Jan '21

Hi folks, When I look at a commit like this: https://git.centos.org/centos/comps/c/5251f94b374cd9cf527f85a0a82245c0a8381… it's adding over 10,000 lines of configuration. I'm wondering how that relates to RHEL's comps. Do the CentOS developers have a tool that generated that XML from a data source elsewhere? Did someone write that XML by hand? - Ken

RHEL IdM update in CentOS 8 Stream
by Alexander Bokovoy 21 Jan '21

21 Jan '21

Hi, thanks for Carl and Brian, yesterday's compose of CentOS 8 Stream now includes RHEL IdM bits slated for RHEL 8.4. Several components were rebased to their upstream versions and are worth noting to those who want to test them in advance of RHEL 8.4. Note that these are not final RHEL IdM updates for RHEL 8.4. While RHEL builds already passed through a comprehensive QA cycle, there are still few improvements that will come during next month or so. Bugs found by CentOS 8 Stream users would in general be seen in the same way as those found by RHEL QE teams during the RHEL minor release development, so it is your opportunity to help. Also improvements in form of upstream patches are welcome too. There are many small and large fixes and improvements in FreeIPA 4.9.0. For more detailed information I'd point to FreeIPA 4.9.0 release notes: https://www.freeipa.org/page/Releases/4.9.0#Highlights_in_4.9.0 Among those changes, we are looking for a feedback to following features of RHEL IdM in CentOS 8 Stream: == ACME CA integration With FreeIPA 4.9 and Dogtag 10.10 it is now possible to deploy ACME support in FreeIPA CA and issue certificates using ACME protocol. For more details please look at https://www.freeipa.org/page/V4/ACME for general design overview and Fraser's blogs around the feature: https://frasertweedale.github.io/blog-redhat/tags/acme.html CentOS 8 Stream includes mod_md Apache module as one of ACME clients. Fedora and EPEL do also have a certbot, so there are multiple clients to use. Interoperability testing with other clients would also be great to see reported. == Active Directory integration improvements There are enhancements for services for user (S4U) feature of Kerberos protocol extensions in Active Directory. In particular, it is now possible to run MS SQL server on a server enrolled into RHEL IdM domain and allow access to it to users of trusted Active Directory forests, along with IPA users. MS SQL does certain operations that required functionality not supported by RHEL IdM. This was fixed in RHEL 8.3. More improvements are available in CentOS 8 Stream, including performance improvements when creating Kerberos tickets for Active Directory users with a large AD group membership. == Non-FQDN host support FreeIPA requires uniform hostname support -- either all systems defined with fully-qualified hostnames or they all are using non-FQDN. In practice, there are checks in the installers to always force FQDN host names. There are many applications that insist on seeing hostnames as non-fully qualified. FreeIPA 4.9.0 adds ability to enroll non-FQDN hosts to otherwise FQDN-based IPA deployment. In addition, this allows to enroll clients with hostnames of total FQDN length longer than 64 characters on Linux. == FIPS support RHEL IdM in CentOS 8 Stream is now capable to be deployed and operated in FIPS mode. One notable omission is the support for trusted Active Directory domains. We are working on FIPS support for trust to AD upstream and already have a good progress. Hopefully, this work will be completed in upcoming weeks and will also land in CentOS 8 Stream. == DNS support improvements PTR records now supported in any zone type to facilitate DNS-SD [RFC6763] operations, for example, publishing printers. -- / Alexander Bokovoy Sr. Principal Software Engineer Security / Identity Management Engineering Red Hat Limited, Finland

Thunderbird 78.6 for CentOS 8.3
by Chris Schanzle 19 Jan '21

19 Jan '21

Hi, It appears Thunderbird 78.6.0 was never released for CentOS 8.3. Could someone please check on it? Perhaps the Files->c8 section warning is a clue: Warning: This package was configured for automatic debranding, but the changes failed to apply. As a related topic, I have experience building RPM's/mock, superficial git user, but I'm still kinda lost how I might be able to get a .src.rpm out of the current state of https://git.centos.org/rpms/thunderbird/tree/404b3fff4f6bcc2c23e085b4ad2c1e… Any brief / terse tips would be appreciated. I did see Johnny's msg https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2020-December/075681.html but it doesn't seem to apply to this situation as there is no koji build info. Thanks! Chris

Introducing the ARC sub-team in CPE - and first research topic
by Pierre-Yves Chibon 18 Jan '21

18 Jan '21

Good Morning Everyone, While planning work, the CPE team has realized that a number of our initiatives actually start with a research phase to find the most appropriate technical solution. This leads to some issues with planning as without knowing the technical solution we want to take, it's hard to evaluate the amount of work needed and thus the time it'll take to do it. In order to help with this, we're creating a small sub-team in CPE, called the ARC team for Advance Reconaissance Crew*. The goal of this team will be to investigate what we believe to be the possible technical solutions for initiatives and advise the team on what they believe would be the appropriate solution. To this end, we will reach out when we start looking for ideas as you may have ideas that we did not think about. The first investigation, led by Will Woods, Mark O'Brien and I, will be around datanommer and datagrepper. datanommer is an application listening to fedmsg and filling a (postgresql) database with all the messages passing on the bus. datagrepper is a web application exposing these messages and offering a way to filter or search them. available at: https://apps.fedoraproject.org/datagrepper/ Currently our ideas are: - for datanommer: - port it to fedora-messaging - adjust it to whichever solution we chose to replace datagrepper - for datagrepper: - keep it as is - Replace by - postgres https://postgrest.org/ - prest https://github.com/prest/prest - kinto https://docs.kinto-storage.org/en/stable/ - Swagger/OpenAPI https://swagger.io/ - Add support for Graphql - for the postgresql server - Split messages per year in different table - Unite them using a postgresql view - Kick out the old messages per year - Keep the current year + n-1 in the current DB - Kick the other to another DB? - Kick the other to a tarball somewhere? - Output the database daily dump to file / year - TimescaleDB a postgresql plugin for time-series data - https://alibaba-cloud.medium.com/postgresql-time-series-database-plug-in-ti… - https://dev.t-matix.com/blog/postgresql-as-a-time-series-database/ - https://docs.timescale.com/latest/introduction - Make the msg field in the message table be a JSON field Would you have any other ideas of things we could look at? Looking forward for your input, Thanks, Pierre, Will and Mark * Our notes and documentation are hosted at: https://fedora-arc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html

Questions regarding CS8
by Alex Iribarren 18 Jan '21

18 Jan '21

Hi all, We're starting to look at CentOS Stream 8 and we have some questions that we haven't been able to find clear answers for. The closest we've come is "stay tuned", I'm hoping to get a clearer timeline. 1. When will Stream source RPMs appear in `vault.centos.org`? (Bugs [#17951](https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=17951) and [#16715](https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=16715)). 2. When will debuginfo RPMs appear in `debuginfo.centos.org`? 3. When will the CentOS Stream 8 docker image be built? When will it be available in [dockerhub](https://hub.docker.com/_/centos)? [Bug #17973](https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=17973) 4. How will updates to Stream be handled? For example, will there be multiple "major" (ie. 4.18.0-259) kernel families in Stream, and then one of those will be picked to be the RH 8.4 kernel? Or will there usually be only one, and Stream's current 4.18.0-259 kernel family become the kernel of RH 8.4? 5. What is going to be in the [cr](http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8-stream/cr/) repository of Stream? Will those be updates that have yet to make it into CentOS Stream? How often will that repository be updated? 6. When I asked some of these questions on IRC in #centos-devel, I was told that the "Stream team" is in #centos-stream. Is there actually a different team? Is #centos-stream, and not #centos-devel, the canonical chat channel? Apologies in advance if some of these questions have already been answered, it's hard to keep up with the hundreds of messages over Christmas. Cheers, Alex
