This release includes updated kernel[1], linux-firmware[2] and microcode_ctl[3] packages to address recent security advisories, alongside other minor updates that shipped during the month of December.

New Apache Cassandra SCL (sclo-cassandra3) in centos-sclo-sclo-testing
by Augusto Caringi 15 Jan '18

15 Jan '18

Hi folks, I've been working on Cassandra SCL (called sclo-cassandra3, Cassandra version 3.11.0) recently, continuing the work started by Tomas Repik, and now I inform you that it is available for testing in CentOS (centos-sclo-sclo-testing repository). Cassandra is a partitioned row store. Rows are organized into tables with a required primary key. Partitioning means that Cassandra can distribute your data across multiple machines in an application-transparent matter. Cassandra will automatically re-partition as machines are added/removed from the cluster. Row store means that like relational databases, Cassandra organizes data by rows and columns. The Cassandra Query Language (CQL) is a close relative of SQL. To install: sudo yum install centos-release-scl sudo yum --enablerepo=centos-sclo-sclo-testing install sclo-cassandra3 sclo-cassandra3-cassandra To start the service: sudo systemctl start sclo-cassandra3-cassandra To run the cqlsh client tool: scl enable sclo-cassandra3 rh-java-common rh-maven33 cqlsh Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Links to sclo-cassandra3 buildlogs [1], git repository of the SCLized package [2], metapackage [3] and softwarecollections.org page [4] can be found down bellow. Best regards, [1] https://buildlogs.centos.org/centos/7/sclo/x86_64/sclo/sclo-cassandra3/ [2] https://github.com/devexp-db/sclo-cassandra3-cassandra [3] https://github.com/devexp-db/sclo-cassandra3 [4] https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/scls/rhscl/sclo-cassandra3/ -- Augusto Mecking Caringi Software Engineer Core Services - Databases Team Red Hat

CentOS 6 patches for Spectre and Meltdown
by Paul Graydon 04 Jan '18

04 Jan '18

Hi, I see from centos-announce that the patches for CentOS 7 have rolled out, do we have a rough ETA on the CentOS 6 patches? From the looks of the security vulnerability mailing lists it looks like RedHat released the patches for 6 around the same time. I'll confess I'm a little rusty on the nomenclature RedHat uses, and the security advisory for 6 specifically references "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.6 Advanced Update Support and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.6 Telco Extended Update Support." I'm not entirely clear what "Advanced Update Support" means about the availability of patches. Does that have any impact on the patches rolling out to CentOS? Paul

[Infra] - planned outage : All services
by Fabian Arrotin 04 Jan '18

04 Jan '18

Due to important security updates that we need to apply within the whole CentOS infra, please be aware that some nodes/services will be unresponsive during that maintenance window. As it targets both CentOS 6 and CentOS 7, we'll probably apply those updates ASAP but we'll not notify for each impacted service, so this announce will cover all impacted services during the next hours/days. Thanks for your comprehending and patience. on behalf of the Infra team, -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 56BEC54E | twitter: @arrfab
