by Lenka Segura 01 Jul '22

01 Jul '22

Hi everyone, This is a weekly report from the CPE (Community Platform Engineering) Team. If you have any questions or feedback, please respond to this report or contact us on #redhat-cpe channel on libera.chat (https://libera.chat/) Week: 27th of June to 1st of July 2022 If you wish to read this in form of a blog post, check the post on Fedora community blog: https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/cpe-weekly-update--week-26-2022 <https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/?p=11183> # Highlights of the week ## Infrastructure & Release Engineering Goal of this Initiative ----------------------- Purpose of this team is to take care of day to day business regarding CentOS and Fedora Infrastructure and Fedora release engineering work. It’s responsible for services running in Fedora and CentOS infrastructure and preparing things for the new Fedora release (mirrors, mass branching, new namespaces etc.). The ARC (which is a subset of the team) investigates possible initiatives that CPE might take on. Link to planning board: https://zlopez.fedorapeople.org/I&R-2022-06-29.pdf Link to docs: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/infra/ Update ------ ### Fedora Infra * Last app in openshift3 is old fas2/accounts. Once badges doesn’t use it we can take down the openshift3 clusters. * New mote in production: https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org * Staging koji uplifted to f36. * Business as usual (down to 60 tickets at one point!) ### CentOS Infra including CentOS CI * Ongoing Duffy work (Fedora rawhide option available now) * Granting SIGs “commit” rights to some projects on git.centos.org (still using pagure-dist-git logic/filter) to let them review PR for their own branches * Finally back with redundancy/shared load to see mirror CDN (IAD2 node) * Work in progress to let SIGs build against/for RHEL9 * Business as usual (mirrors, tags) ### Release Engineering * Working on enabling IMA signing of rawhide packages * New Fedora Media Writer release ## CentOS Stream Goal of this Initiative ----------------------- This initiative is working on CentOS Stream/Emerging RHEL to make this new distribution a reality. The goal of this initiative is to prepare the ecosystem for the new CentOS Stream. Updates ------- * Fixed issue with changed host keys causing stall of packages into Stream 8. * Continuing the work on getting CentOS Stream 8 closer to 9 ## Package Automation (Packit Service) Goal of this initiative ----------------------- Automate RPM packaging of infra apps/packages Updates ------- * No major updates this week, work is winding down with a few PRs left to be merged. * Critical apps list in github is almost complete ## Flask-oidc: oauth2client replacement Goal of this initiative ----------------------- Flask-oidc is a library used across the Fedora infrastructure and is the client for ipsilon for its authentication. flask-oidc uses oauth2client. This library is now deprecated and no longer maintained. This will need to be replaced with authlib. Updates: -------- * Testing implementation for token expiry/refresh, final piece of work required before submitting a PR upstream with changes. ## EPEL Goal of this initiative ----------------------- Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (or EPEL) is a Fedora Special Interest Group that creates, maintains, and manages a high quality set of additional packages for Enterprise Linux, including, but not limited to, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), CentOS and Scientific Linux (SL), Oracle Linux (OL). EPEL packages are usually based on their Fedora counterparts and will never conflict with or replace packages in the base Enterprise Linux distributions. EPEL uses much of the same infrastructure as Fedora, including buildsystem, bugzilla instance, updates manager, mirror manager and more. Updates ------- * This week we have 6516 (+74) packages, from 2911 (+29) source packages * Python Packaging Authority (PyPA) considering enabling EPEL by default in the manylinux_2_28 image https://github.com/pypa/manylinux/issues/1338 * Working with RHEL maintainers to ship gtksourceview4-devel to enable more packages * Carl attended Open Source Summit North America and chatted with multiple EPEL users and maintainers Kindest regards, CPE Team

New SIG idea - Stream Live Images / Alt Installs
by Troy Dawson 01 Jul '22

01 Jul '22

Before I get all worked up about this idea, I want to see if it is feasible, and if there is any interest in it. I'd like to start a SIG where we create images (Live and Install iso's) that are based on both CentOS Stream and EPEL together. For live images we could have a CS9-KDE-Live.iso, CS9-XFCE-Live.iso, CS9-GNOME-Live.iso, or even a large CS9-ALL-DESKTOPS-Live.iso. For install images we could have CS9-minimal.iso, maybe a KDE, or others. I mainly want the minimal iso so I don't have to download the massive 8 Gig DVD if I want just the minimum, but don't want to do a network install. So, my two questions are. Would this be possible on the current CentOS Stream infrastructure? Would anyone else want a SIG like this? Troy

Centos Stream 8 vagrant images not regularly updated
by Nikolaos Moumoulidis 24 Jun '22

24 Jun '22

Hi all, There was a thread created by a colleague of mine a few months ago ( https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2022-January/120156.html) regarding the CS8 vagrant images not being upgraded regularly in either https://cloud.centos.org/centos/8-stream/x86_64/images/ or https://app.vagrantup.com/centos/boxes/stream8 and the reply was a new process will be created for this to happen monthly. This hasn't happened yet (I understand, we're all busy), so I wanted to check on the status of if/when it will. Ideally https://app.vagrantup.com/centos/boxes/stream8 would be the best place since the '-latest' suffix scheme seemed to not be feasible for now, but even updated images in https://cloud.centos.org/centos/8-stream/x86_64/images that we could manually update the url to every now and then would work. Thanks, Nikos

[REPORT] Quarterly Report - CentOS Automotive SIG
by Jeffrey Osier-Mixon 24 Jun '22

24 Jun '22

June 2022 Quarterly report submitted by: Jefro Osier-Mixon, Red Hat - acting chair _____________________________________ Membership update This SIG does not have a formal membership process. The mailing list currently has 94 subscribers representing at least 30 organizations, though not all subscribers use corporate emails and some are participating as individuals. _____________________________________ Releases in the most recent quarter (or most recent release, if none in that quarter) The SIG provides a new distribution: Automotive Stream Distribution (AutoSD), a CentOS Stream derivative designed specifically around the needs of an automotive OS, and transparently the upstream project for Red Hat's eventual in-vehicle OS product. AutoSD has been downloaded and used by several organizations who have commented or asked for help, so we know it is getting some traction though of course we don't have exact metrics on usage. _____________________________________ Health report and general activity narrative. The SIG has had two public meetings per month, one formal and one informal "office hours", each with 25-40 attendees, with visible participation from 7-10 separate organizations. This SIG is intended to be a community effort with contributions and shared benefits from all participants. All formal meetings are recorded and posted on this page: https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Automotive/Meetings Several Red Hat employees made the initial contributions to the project as well as the infrastructure required to build and test it. We now occupy a gitlab repository building software regularly using CI, with build instructions provided on the documentation page at https://sigs.centos.org/automotive/ . Sample images are present and downloadable along with customization and build instructions. This is a high-level summary of current activity: - All work has migrating to a CentOS namespace within GitLab in order to cement our intention as a community project: https://gitlab.com/centos/automotive - CI/CD infrastructure is in place - Firmware size has been reduced - Encryption is available via LUKS - a Linux chroot is being worked on for Android devices - manifests now enable EFI runtime services - Lookaside cache structure - Downloadable images are available: https://autosd.sig.centos.org/ - Documentation has been greatly expanded with both community and corporate contributions: https://sigs.centos.org/automotive/ - Documentation now includes detailed contribution guidelines: https://sigs.centos.org/automotive/contributing/contributing-to-auto-sig-re… - Ongoing discussions within the meetings have centered around supported hardware and expectations for documentation - A new meetings page contains recordings of all meetings: https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Automotive/Meetings - Synchronous communications have moved from IRC to Matrix thanks to some help from Fedora: https://app.element.io/#/room/#centos-automotive-sig:fedoraproject.org _____________________________________ Issues for the board to address, if any None, keep up the excellent work :) Jeffrey "Jefro" Osier-Mixon | jefro(a)redhat.com Red Hat Office of the CTO | Sr. Principal Community Architect, Automotive

Dojo at DevConf, August 17
by Shaun McCance 21 Jun '22

21 Jun '22

Thanks to everybody that attended our online Summer Dojo. We are holding an in-person Dojo on August 17 at Boston University. This is the day before the main track of DevConf.US, at the same venue. https://wiki.centos.org/Events/Dojo/DevConfUS2022 The call for presentations is open. We look forward to talks from the entire Enterprise Linux ecosystem, from how it's built to how it's used. We have both 20-minute and 40-minute talk slots. https://forms.gle/QjGki4whyWTvnD4q9 (If you previously tried to submit a presentation and didn't have permission, it's because I forgot to change the settings to allow submissions from outside Red Hat. Sorry. It's fixed now.) Thanks, Shaun McCance CentOS Community Architect Red Hat Open Source Program Office

Search through CentOS Stream specfiles
by Maxwell G 20 Jun '22

20 Jun '22

Hi everyone, Is there some sort of specfile tarball or other method to search through all the CentOS Stream specfiles for a regex? In Fedora, we have a tarball[1] with all the specfiles that's generated daily, as well as access to Sourcegraph[2]. Is there an equivalent for CentOS Stream/RHEL? Of course, I could manually extract them from the *-source yum repos' SRPMs or distgit, but that would be tedious. [1]: https://src.fedoraproject.org/lookaside/git-seed-latest.tar.xz [2]: https://sourcegraph.com/search? q=context:global+r:src.fedoraproject.org+file:.*%5C.spec%24+ %5EName:&patternType=regexp&case=yes -- Thanks, Maxwell G (@gotmax23) Pronouns: He/Him/His
