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

Minutes of Jan 27 2015 VIRT SIG Meeting
by Lars Kurth 27 Jan '15

27 Jan '15

Hi all, seems we are making good progress. Thank you everyone! * First Xen release via the SIG is imminent (see Xen section) * We are also close to a Docker release (see Docker section) * We also need to look at cross-SIG dependencies to be able to make use of Gluster support in the Storage SIG (see oVirt section) Regards Lars = Attendees = * Lars Kurth * George Dunlap * Sandro Bonazzola * Lokesh Mandevar = Agenda = == Replace audio meetings in favor of IRC meetings, which seem to work better == <All agree with IRC meetings> ACTION :Send mail to list: If anyone objects, let us know. ACTION: Lars to changeg invite and wiki to reflect IRC meetings always. == Xen Update (George) == 4.4.1 Virt-Sif testing for several weeks now. Everything appears to be working Have a wiki now: covering xend to libxl migration - see http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Xen/Xen4QuickStart Jonny has pushed the signed packages Thus, this is the 1st Xen release from the VIRT SIG ACTION: George to send quick mail to the list and write up a blog post. CC publicity@xenproject and KB such that he can cross post to the CentOS blog if he wants to Note: 4.4.1 is still using the new old 3.10 kernel. DISCUSSION: George: do we have a conflict on kernel versions for CentOS 7. For xen we would need to override the CentOS 7 kernel to make Xen work with CentOS 7 Lokesh: there is no kernel requirement for Docker except that the kernel needs to be >= 3.10 – this should be a match George: potential issue is that Docker is officially supported in RHEL/ CentOS 7 Lokesh: 3.14 should work for Docker, but needs to be verified. George: before we push to public repo we need to test it. Lokesh: CentOS and Docker are tested with 3.10. For Fedora we test with 3.18. Docker has its own test suite. So covering 3.14 should be straightforward George: would you mind if I uploaded 3.10 and see whether it works? But there may be an issue that we would be missing RedHat backports in CentOS 7 Lokesh: Since yesterday have been doing a daily test for rawhide in addition to the stable branch. I don't think there should be an issue George: Checking understanding that a new kernel is totally OK. Lokesh: As long as we are not disabling standard kernel functionality we are fine ACTION: George upload the latest kernel and coordinate with Lokesh re testing to ensure that nothing breaks = Docker update (Lokesh) = Still on 1.4.1 Yesterday I was talking to Jim and KB re a daily rebuild for CentOS and that should be fine Maybe we will have an additional package Docker-upstream or Docker-unsupported (TBD) I have also been talking to people from Kubernetes and Cockpit re new versions. ACTION: Lokesh to make an announcements on the list(s) and then we can try and make a public release. ACTION: Lokesh to create a getting started wiki page ACTION: Lars to link to any announcements in FOSDEM VIRT SIG presentation = oVirt update (Sandro) = 3.5.1 is upstreamed and released Now we have a bit more time to investigate CBS, etc. We also have credentials for wiki and CBS Sandro: I had asked for some HowTo for CBS / Coogee by mail, which is still unresolved George: has some runes for basic stuff which he can share ACTION: George to create brief howto and share on list/wiki. One of the other issues Sandro brought up is that the Storage SIG now has Gluster support and that he would like to build oVirt with support from Gluster packages in the storage SIG. There may a requirement for QEMU and KVM packages (details needed) from that SIG. George: this will require some cross-SIG coordination that we need to resolve. At the moment we don’t have a way to cover inter-SIG dependencies ACTION: Sandro email storage SIG (via centos-devel) and virt SIG and lay out problem to kick off a discussion. Lars can try and follow up with KB and others at FOSDEM. = Any other business = None
