Is this the kind of script you are envisioning? Input: Announcement data input by author or CentOS announcement.

I don't see anything wrong with filling errata fields with "not available" as Tony suggested, at least to start with.

SIG members for State of CentOS panel at OSCON?
by Karsten Wade 04 Feb '15

04 Feb '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi: I've proposed a panel for OSCON in Portland, OR this year that is the second annual State of the CentOS Project. Are there any SIG members planning to attend OSCON who would be interested in being on the panel? The idea is to be able to give a short update on your SIG and answer questions from the audience about Virt, Storage, Cloud, et al. I got the proposal in under the deadline and indicated to the organizers that I'm seeking additional panelists. Let me know if you plan to attend and would like to represent your SIG. I think it's OK if we have up to 2 people per SIG, unless we really fill out and need to pare down to 1-per-SIG.

CentOS Bug Tracker and ABRT
by Jakub Filak 04 Feb '15

04 Feb '15

Hello everyone, I want to briefly introduce myself. I am a Red Hat employee working on ABRT[1]. We have recently added support for CentOS on the ABRT server[2] and we would like continue in these integration efforts. First of all, I want to submit a pair of patches improving ABRT's UX on CentOS: - do not offer users to report to Red Hat Portal - offer users to send an email to upstream - stop wasting of resources by running sos, because its output is useless for CentOS users In the near future, we would like to integrate ABRT with CentOS Bug Tracker in the same way as ABRT integrates with Red Hat Bugzilla[3]. We are done with the analysis phase[4] and, now, we are working on a testsuite[5]. Unfortunately, MantisBT misses more advanced searching what prevents us from implementing a tool similar to one we have for Bugzilla. At least we need to search by DUPHASH (an unique identifier of a crash, something like tag). Would you be willing to run a MantisBT plugin adding the things we need, if we develop it?

Xfce for CentOS group
by Anders F Björklund 02 Feb '15

02 Feb '15

Hi list! Since the Alternative Desktop SIG didn't happen, we thought we would make a more focused effort and improve the Xfce desktop environment experience on CentOS. That might end up being a dedicated CentOS SIG, or just a couple of improvements to the existing packages from EPEL. Once upon a time, or more precisely: back in the CentOS 5.0 days, Xfce 4.4 was available in Extras and it was a pretty simple install that just worked "out of the box". Now, there's the newer versions available via EPEL - but the experience is nowhere near painless... Going to try to meet up with other interested parties during FOSDEM, to see if we can't improve upon that and at least fix the low hanging issues. And get some better Xfce testing and feedback going, as well. A more long-term goal is make it an alternative to GNOME (Workstation). I've rounded up some of the issues, that currently exist: * The theme and icons are wrong, either missing or just ugly * The background image is wrong, ending up with a single color * X11 and Fonts are missing, so just adding the group doesn't work * Some bugs need backporting or fixing, like in Terminal or Xfwm. See http://afb.users.sourceforge.net/xfce/centos/centos-xfce.html Right now, one starts with a Minimal (or Server) install of CentOS. Then adds Base, X11 (including fonts), and finally Xfce (from EPEL). Once the aforementioned problems are taken care of, that should be it. Eventually, it might even end up being a "spin" or available image ? As mentioned earlier, here are the applicable versions of each: * CentOS 5 - Xfce 4.4 (in CentOS Extras) * CentOS 5 - Xfce 4.6 (based on Fedora 6) * CentOS 6 - Xfce 4.8 (based on Fedora 12) * CentOS 7 - Xfce 4.10 (based on Fedora 18) To replace GNOME PackageKit there's the Yum Extender, and to replace GDM there's LightDM (more work is needed, to make a CentOS-6 version). The GNOME icons and GNOME themes will probably "work" to start with, but one can probably improve upon that as well (as a lower priority). Something like http://afb.users.sourceforge.net/xfce/xfce-brave.png If you are interested in helping out with testing, packaging or developing (backporting, fixing the upstream issues, and so on) then please say so. I'll try to have some more detailed lists and updated packages with me, for the FOSDEM meetup in the weekend... * http://wiki.centos.org/Events/Fosdem2015 --anders

Where should golang-github-gorilla-mux live?
by Matthias Schroeder 02 Feb '15

02 Feb '15

Hi guys, I noticed that golang-github-gorilla-mux 0-0.15.git136d54f.el7_0 is in the ‘updates' and in the ‘extras' repo. Older versions where only in ‘extras’. Is that a conscious change of policy, or did something go wrong with the routing of that version? Cheers, Matthias - just curious

Port CloudSigma to CentOS's CloudInit
by Viktor Petersson 29 Jan '15

29 Jan '15

Hey guys, I had a conversation with Jim Perrin and Karanbir Singh about this and it should be relatively trivial. However, Jim suggested that we moved the discussion here. Here is the status today: * The CloudSigma provider for CloudInit is complete and is maintained by Canonical[1] and is included in (12.04 and forward) * Jim wrote a patch (attached). It isn't complete, but it is a start. * There is also a port to CoreOS (re-written in Go) [2] * Since I didn't write the code, I don't know of the exact workflow, but I think these are the relevant files: ** cloudinit/cs_utils.py ** cloudinit/sources/DataSourceCloudSigma.py ** tests/unittests/test_datasource/test_cloudsigma.py I'm involved with CloudSigma, and I'd be happy to sponsor anyone willing to take on the task of porting this with resources at CloudSigma for testing. Unfortunately, I don't have any internal resources to allocate towards this at this point, but I know that we have plenty of customers running CentOS that would love to see this happen. I'd also be happy with answering any questions and help with the QA of this. Thanks!

comps in SIG content repos
by Karanbir Singh 29 Jan '15

29 Jan '15

hi, thoughts around requiring SIG repos to carry a comps.xml file ? that will allow us to also have SIG repo configs be usable at install time and yum group operations to run on installed machines. regards -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

Proposal to Cancel the CBS/Infra Meeting on 02-Feb
by Brian Stinson 28 Jan '15

28 Jan '15

Hi All, Since quite a few of us will be traveling or recovering from Fosdem, I propose that we cancel the CBS meeting on Monday 02-Feb. If there are any discussion items, please send them to the centos-devel list. One item would be scheduling the next CBS meeting since I'm not sure of everyone's schedule over the next couple of weeks. Cheers!

Meeting face to face CentOS Project and EPEL
by Karanbir Singh 28 Jan '15

28 Jan '15

hi, crossposting this to centos-devel and epel-devel we are working to arrange a meeting with the EPEL folks at Fosdem 2015, on 31st Jan at 7pm ( venue to be confirmed ), to try and workout some options on how the two efforts might best co-ordinate. A key part of the conversation would also focus on how SIGs and other contributors to downstream repos in centos.org can interface with and set expectations on the epel repos. Everyone able to make it please let me know your names so I can track attendance and make reservations accordingly. Regards, -- Karanbir Singh, Project Lead, The CentOS Project +44-207-0999389 | http://www.centos.org/ | twitter.com/CentOS GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc
