Cloud-Infra SIG creation request
by Mike Burns 10 Jan '14

10 Jan '14

We're looking to create an easy to use distribution of RDO/OpenStack built on CentOS. Our understanding is that we need to first create a SIG and then we're able to create 1 or more variants. What we'd like to do: * Provide all the dependencies that are either not in base CentOS or are too old in the base CentOS in a single location (maybe a distinct yum repo) * Be able to build and sign packages needed to run RDO/OpenStack within the CentOS infrastructure * Be able to generate a LiveCD in the CentOS infrastructure that allows people to get up and running quickly. * Provide Install media for people that do not want to use a LiveCD. It may make sense to create the Cloud Infra sig for this and use that going forward. Any suggestions or questions so we can move forward on this? Thanks Mike Burns on behalf of The RDO Team

Policy Proposal for bugs.centos.org
by Christoph Galuschka 10 Jan '14

10 Jan '14

I don't know if there have been any thoughts around on this, but I think there is no form of policy in place regarding the CentOS bug-tracker? I'm thinking along stuff like i.e. no activity for > 1 year --> close issue. I would like to hear feedback (suggestions if there are some) on this thought. If we want to move something like that into place (and there is enough feedback), i'd be willing to write an initial draft to expand upon. Thanks and Cheers Christoph -- Christoph Galuschka CentOS-QA member | IRC: tigalch --- Diese E-Mail ist frei von Viren und Malware, denn der avast! Antivirus Schutz ist aktiv. http://www.avast.com

CentOS-6.4 OpenStack testing cloud images
by Karanbir Singh 08 Jan '14

08 Jan '14

Hi, CentOS-6.4 i386 and x86_64 images targetting OpenStack are now available for testing at http://dev.centos.org/centos/hvm/ Images are available for KVM, Hyper-V, VMware, Xen and any other HVM hypervisor. Although, the 6.x kernel has the pv support enabled, so should work fine under paravirt Xen as well. Images are published as raw, qcow2 qcow2compressed and vpc ( vhd ) for both i386 and x86_64 CentOS-6.4 The images represent media versions, and have not had an update run against them. Its highly recommended that in testing, please check this version *then* do a yum update and repeat tests to ensure that there is no test result change in the 6.4+updates tree's. Keeping in line with the general CentOS Cloud strategy, ie to help people migrate or investigate cloud instances, we expect the images to represent as close as possible to a real machine CentOS install ( ie. no cloud specific user, people use root to login, selinux is enabled ). With some exceptions like isdn support is removed, as is cups and bluetooth since those things make little sense on a cloud instance ( nothing stopping the users from installing them later if they need to ). Also, cloud-init is included. This is based on the 0.7.x stream and based off sources published by Red Hat in their RHEL-Common/ tree. md5sums: ac6c1f683f18ec2742fc620930b6b77a CentOS-6.4-i386-Minimal-OpenStack.image.bz2 ac6c1f683f18ec2742fc620930b6b77a CentOS-6.4-i386-Minimal-OpenStack.image.qcow2.bz2 d0ef1077886714d9808eb21b0d35b64e CentOS-6.4-i386-Minimal-OpenStack.image.qcow2c.bz2 853487ac600963da6c00f69be10f11d5 CentOS-6.4-i386-Minimal-OpenStack.image.raw.bz2 dc16f7339c97856514ce35f65196a928 CentOS-6.4-i386-Minimal-OpenStack.image.vpc.bz2 9169abb16ad2b0a0195574fc8c7c6e7a CentOS-6.4-i386-Minimal-VMware.image.vmdk.bz2 1c1ff6ffca8ca7845f49a017f5386961 CentOS-6.4-x86_64-Minimal-OpenStack.image.bz2 1c1ff6ffca8ca7845f49a017f5386961 CentOS-6.4-x86_64-Minimal-OpenStack.image.qcow2.bz2 2d9a25fa573b3c512e97c9d6cea64657 CentOS-6.4-x86_64-Minimal-OpenStack.image.qcow2c.bz2 f701914d4eafb563b086853cd8e7e79d CentOS-6.4-x86_64-Minimal-OpenStack.image.raw.bz2 8476063151f9163ba37e260e144270e1 CentOS-6.4-x86_64-Minimal-OpenStack.image.vpc.bz2 a68f0bd1328bd67056e07be8501607a0 CentOS-6.4-x86_64-Minimal-VMware.image.vmdk.bz2 sha256sums: 2418f233fabc02074e54f705667ba16e2845883863e5c2e860ffc5b615f1a096 CentOS-6.4-i386-Minimal-OpenStack.image.bz2 2418f233fabc02074e54f705667ba16e2845883863e5c2e860ffc5b615f1a096 CentOS-6.4-i386-Minimal-OpenStack.image.qcow2.bz2 1156a84f18c62e5bb04d82976e6c7aa412c8486de0780e35b42f97697fe06aed CentOS-6.4-i386-Minimal-OpenStack.image.qcow2c.bz2 70c9c4f1a44b8ef349ca13da1993c1b9211a1ec72f68b4ddfc85ad21e70e6e97 CentOS-6.4-i386-Minimal-OpenStack.image.raw.bz2 ec1e5ab7508d9139df110e4a5c957c56a4dc6011fc8030cb6e48d3f6a27866ab CentOS-6.4-i386-Minimal-OpenStack.image.vpc.bz2 675c9717b82b71833cb074e76357aa2325d03730d989507110caa0e6d2e4cb5c CentOS-6.4-i386-Minimal-VMware.image.vmdk.bz2 a68e76596568b9e3117f021ba4d1db983b763ef31097b9aa47139927dcbf14bc CentOS-6.4-x86_64-Minimal-OpenStack.image.bz2 a68e76596568b9e3117f021ba4d1db983b763ef31097b9aa47139927dcbf14bc CentOS-6.4-x86_64-Minimal-OpenStack.image.qcow2.bz2 888da1ac03dd78027421db0629d899187456058a72a6e555d459bcb1d4f20296 CentOS-6.4-x86_64-Minimal-OpenStack.image.qcow2c.bz2 4626a83e8d0c706d9303874d0e26d2b127983207adb7a64e079e359e6b33a156 CentOS-6.4-x86_64-Minimal-OpenStack.image.raw.bz2 3bd4c91b276e9b4a049fd5ecd32e6e538593331a1298162ffe07e9033eefd903 CentOS-6.4-x86_64-Minimal-OpenStack.image.vpc.bz2 8c70a927d761e99e1529585b43d8dc2e080977b00436ec7038288d542fba6d4c CentOS-6.4-x86_64-Minimal-VMware.image.vmdk.bz2 Note: these images have not been through a regular CentOS QA cycle, and I am requesting people to actually test these in either dev or test environments that run the hypervisor being tested, the cloud controller being tested and provide feedback here to the mailing list. Please clearly indicate what hypervisor was used, what cloud controller and versions of the relevant software. As a baseline the CentOS CI tests ( https://gitorious.org/testautomation/t_functional ) is a good place to start, if you just need tests to run ( although these tests mostly target machine instances, its still a good baseline for these images ). And while you are at it, please feel free to submit cloud, virtualised, instance and image specific tests. The overall aim is to be ready for inclusion of Cloud image release in sync with iso and distro release for next-version ( 6.5 most likely ). Apart from baseline testing, I am also looking for feedback on package manifests included in the images ( should we add something ? should we remove something ? ) and if there is any need / scope for publishing specific role images as well ? ( eg. should we do a LAMP image ? ) Finally, I want to thank Alessandro and Octavian from Cloudbase Solutions for helping get this effort off the ground, and then their patience as I went through the mechanics of automating the build process and getting the images ready.

drpms directories taking a lot of space
by Florian La Roche 08 Jan '14

08 Jan '14

Hello, some weeks ago I looked briefly at the drpms subdirectories for Centos-6.4-x86_64. All updtes took about 4GB whereas the drpms subdir had already 27GB. Listing the drpms directory by size showed e.g. libreoffice updates taking e.g. 35MB whereas the full update rpm is 37MB. Is it possible to move the drpms directories to special mirrors only. Similar to the debuginfo/source/oldreleases? Maybe also some tuning is possible to generate drpms only if they really give a huge download saving. Sorry, I don't have detailed numbers anymore, I've just disabled to mirror the drpms subdir for now. (All numbers above are from memory, my local mirror doesn't have drpms anymore.) Keeping the official CentOS mirror rather small should be a real plus for the large volume of mirror sites and the real good distribution of CentOS. Thanks a lot for CentOS, Florian La Roche

This bug I mentioned is already files against el7b1, targeted release rc. I will disable the test for el7 with this number in the comments then. Regards, Rene

Arpwatch broken in el7
by René Diepstraten 04 Jan '14

04 Jan '14

Hi. I've been busy for some time with t_functional test p_arpwatch. While I have made some progress, the test keeps failing. As it turns out, arpwatch is broken in fedora 18, 19 and 20 and as such, also in el7. A bug report (upstream) exists: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1044062 Should we, for the time being, disable the p_arpwatch test for el7? Regards, Rene Diepstraten

a public build tool for seven
by Karanbir Singh 03 Jan '14

03 Jan '14

hi, I've started the builds for centos7beta, so far its ging good ( in that 3 packages of 3 attempted have built, so its going to be a while before we have a true picture on the state of srpms ). What I'd like to also do is get a public instance of the buildsystem online that allows everyone else the ability to submit their own packages for builds against the existing rhel7b1 code and parse / process the output ( purely for testing ). Think of it as a getting-ready-for-seven sort of an effort. One challenge in the mix is going to be that EPEL isnt building for EL7 as yet, and lots of people rely on EPEL for their own deps. We could help things by pushing all of EPEL6 through, and provide feedback on the EPEL lists.... thoughts ? -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

hi, Anyone fancy taking a dig at doing some artwork for seven ? I believe atleast the redhat-logos-69.1.9-1.el7.src.rpm would need attention. - KB -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc
