Dear Members, The CentOS Virtualization SIG will not be holding regular meetings for the time being. Instead, all discussions and collaborations should take place on our mailing list: <https://lists.centos.org/hyperkitty/list/virt@lists.centos.org/> If a meeting is needed for a specific topic, members can request one through the mailing list, and we will organize it as necessary. We appreciate your participation and look forward to engaging discussions online. Best, -- Sandro Bonazzola CentOS Virtualization Special Interest Group

CentOS Fast Track SIG Proposal
by Jonathan Wright 12 Feb '25

12 Feb '25

Howdy, I'd like to propose a new Special Interest Group focused on providing primarily fixes in packages that are likely to be eventually merged into CentOS Stream directly. # Proposer(s) - Jonathan Wright - Michel Lind (copied) # Purpose This SIG is intended for fast tracking package updates that are beneficial for those who run CentOS Stream in production, and have a high likelihood of eventually being available in CentOS Stream (think within one minor release of RHEL, not the next major release of Stream). The SIG especially welcomes contributions from the rebuilder community aiming to foster upstream collaboration. # Mechanism - builds with the same repos as normal CentOS Stream packages. EPEL is /not/ enabled, but CentOS Stream buildroot will be enabled. - but we don't distinguish between base, appstream, crb - we maintain one repo and we assume CRB is enabled (use same mechanism as epel-release to suggest people enable it) - DistTag sorts lower than the normal Stream packages (e.g. ~el10), that way we can submit our changes as-is as a merge request - Vendor matches CentOS Stream base packages, that way we can interoperate with packages from other SIGs, or on systems that have vendor locking enabled - packages built from one-off branches (e.g. the branch a merge request is sourced from), so we can always start from the existing state of the published Stream package -- Jonathan Wright AlmaLinux OS Foundation Mattermost: chat <https://chat.almalinux.org/almalinux/messages/@jonathan>

2025-02-12 - CentOS Public Board Meeting
by Thomas Oulevey 11 Feb '25

11 Feb '25

Hi Everyone, Our next board meeting will take place at 21:00 UTC tomorrow `date -d "2025-02-12 21:00 UTC"` If you would like to attend please send me an email to alphacc(a)centosproject.org ( please do not reply to @centos-devel or use another email address) and you will receive a link to a meeting room with a passcode, 1 hour before the meeting takes place. The agenda can be checked at (work in progress) : https://hackmd.io/@centosboard/SyyJmUWtkx As a reminder we will enforce few rules : * Wait to be recognized by the Chair before speaking * Respect the Chair when told your time to speak is over - this will allow us to remain on agenda, and complete the meetings in the allotted time * In the event that there are Board-confidential topics, these will be put at the end of the meeting, in Executive Session, and guests will be asked to leave. We hope to minimize these items, but they do sometimes happen. The most common scenarios in which this may happen are personnel issues, or information that Red Hat wishes to share with the Board, but is not yet public. * Muting of participants, or, in extreme situations, ejection from the meeting, is at the sole discretion of the Chair. * Meetings will be recorded, and published to YouTube (possibly with edits/redaction, as approved by the Directors). Thus, by joining the meeting you consent to have your presence at the meeting, and anything you say during the meeting, made public. I hope some of you can join. thanks, -- Thomas 'alphacc' Oulevey CentOS Board of Directors Secretary alphacc(a)centosproject.org

Centos Stream devel repos on mirrors will be trimmed down
by Troy Dawson 10 Feb '25

10 Feb '25

Currently, the normal CentOS Stream repos (AppStream, BaseOS and CRB) keep the last 5 releases of a package. But the corresponding devel repos, which contain the debuginfo and debugsource packages, keep all the packages. This has caused these repos to get rather large and has been causing disk space issues for those mirrors that choose to mirror them. Starting next week, we will start trimming the devel repos the same way we have been trimming the others, only keeping the last 5 releases of each package. We will not be touching koji, or any other place these packages might be, only the mirrors. Troy Dawson

by Amy Marrich 03 Feb '25

03 Feb '25

The results of the poll showed an interest in having both Stream 9 and 10 versions for the Epoxy release. Due to limited resources, we are looking for volunteers in the community who would be interested in learning to build the RPMs and help maintain them. Please reach out if you are interested in participating in this effort.
