releasever does not contain variant as expected
by Marc Dequènes (Duck) 09 Dec '21

09 Dec '21

Quack, (this is a post I made for centos@ on 2021-10-27 and that never made it on the list for some unknown reason; retrying here since it's still current) I'm trying to install CentOS Stream directly without switching from Linux to Stream in our automated install. The changes were straightforward but I was very surprised to get CentOS Linux instead of the expected CentOS Stream. I captured the virt-install call to check if there was any mistake and that's fine: virt-install -n taiste.osci.io --memory=2048,maxmemory=4096 --memballoon virtio --disk bus=virtio,path=/dev/vg_Spritz/taiste.osci.io --vcpus=1,maxvcpus=2 --initrd-inject=/etc/libvirt/kickstarts/taiste.osci.io/ks.cfg --autostart --noautoconsole --watchdog default --arch x86_64 -l http://mirror.rackspace.com/CentOS/8-stream/BaseOS/x86_64/os/ --network bridge=virbr0,model=virtio --graphics none -x 'net.ifnames=0 inst.ks=file:/ks.cfg ks=file:/ks.cfg console=tty0 console=ttyS0' Our kickstart (ks.cfg) contains: url --mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=BaseOS and that has worked for ages. Digging deeper I found out $releasever only contains the major version without the variant (like "6Server" on RHEL for eg). DNF is using a new variable $stream that breaks compatibility with the past and AFAIK is only available through DNF (but I can't use it in the kickstart for all versions anyway). Since we're using Ansible I can work around that but I was wondering if there was any way to handle this better in a retro-compatible way. Regards. \_o<

All c9s spec files?
by Miro Hrončok 08 Dec '21

08 Dec '21

Hello, in Fedora, I can get all Rawhide specfiles from one big tarball: https://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/repo/rpm-specs-latest.tar.xz Is there an equivalent of such tarball for CentOS Stream 9? I'd like to check the usage of one of our macros before landing a change. Thanks, -- Miro Hrončok -- Phone: +420777974800 IRC: mhroncok

Board nominations and timeline
by Rich Bowen 06 Dec '21

06 Dec '21

Thank you to everyone who provided nominations for the upcoming board of directors term. We received 11 nominations. Seven of those candidates have accepted the nomination and will be on the ballot. Two have declined and two have been, thus far, completely unresponsive after several attempts to contact them. The nominations are now closed. The sitting directors will consider these nominees, and their acceptance statements, over the coming weeks. The vote will occur in the JANUARY Board meeting, and the new directors will serve in their first meeting in FEBRUARY. References: This process is documented at https://www.centos.org/about/governance/board/ and the current list of directors may be seen at https://git.centos.org/centos/board/blob/master/f/directors/cohorts The history of directors may be seen at https://git.centos.org/centos/board/blob/master/f/directors/history

Hello All, As part of our testing efforts of c9s we put together some vagrant boxes of c9s and we are wondering if there was any interest in us contributing these upstream? Boxes are here: https://app.vagrantup.com/almalinux/boxes/centos-stream-9 and the corresponding sources can be found here: https://github.com/almaLinux/cloud-images/tree/centos9s Thanks, Jack

De-branding in CentOS Stream 9
by Alex Iribarren 06 Dec '21

06 Dec '21

Hi all, While trying to run the CentOS functional tests on CS9[*], I noticed that several fail because of branding issues. For example, p_httpd/httpd_centos_brand_server_tokens.sh expects the server string to match `Apache.*\ (CentOS)`, when in fact the server line is: Server: Apache/2.4.51 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9) OpenSSL/3.0.0 This got me thinking about how de-branding is supposed to work in CS9. I would guess the usual process would have to be reversed now, where Red Hat would remove the CentOS brand from CS9 packages and add the Red Hat brand for the RHEL 9.0 builds, but clearly this isn't happening yet. I guess this is an oversight? Cheers, Alex [*] I know, I know, but I have to run *something* before you guys release your own functional test suite for CS9!

CentOS7 krb5-1.15.1-51
by Jacco Ligthart 02 Dec '21

02 Dec '21

Hi, I noticed that krb5-1.15.1-51 is missing from CentOS7. The previous version is now both in base and in updates. I'm guessing that somehow there has been made a small error, so that #50 is in the updates instead of #51 Jacco

CPE takeover Fedora social hour - today!
by Vipul Siddharth 02 Dec '21

02 Dec '21

Hey folks, The Community Platform Engineering team from Red Hat will join us today for the Fedora Social Hour call. This call would be slightly different from usual ones – as this time we won’t be breaking any rules when you talk $work (like always). We will have both, some from management and some engineers (including me) joining the call. If you have any Infra or CPE questions, we would love to talk and answer (what we do, why we do and what we are going to do are just a few examples). When we are out of questions, expect it to look like a general social hour. If you don't know what Fedora Social hour is, check https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/join-us-for-fedora-social-hour-every… Looking forward to seeing a lot of you

CentOS Dojo @ FOSDEM 2022, February 3rd and 4th 2022
by Rich Bowen 01 Dec '21

01 Dec '21

TLDR: CFP at https://forms.gle/mwEUJ65xYYsCUnYo6 As you may be aware, FOSDEM will be held online again in 2022. As such, we will be holding the annual FOSDEM Dojo online also, on Thursday and Friday, February 3rd and 4th. The Call For Presentations (CFP) is available at the URL above. We are seeking presentations about any aspect of the CentOS project. You are also welcome to submit talks about related project (RHEL, EPEL, and various RHEL rebuilds) if there is interest to the CentOS project community. In particular, we'd like to hear from as many SIGs as possible. The CFP will close on January 9th, 2022, 11:59 UTC. Note that this is a shorter window than we usually have, since we're getting a late start on planning. Please don't wait until the last minute. Further details will be at https://wiki.centos.org/Events/Dojo/FOSDEM2022 soon. (No, that page doesn't exist yet. That's my next task for today.) --Rich

CentOS Stream 9 content available for cbs.centos.org : start your builds !
by Fabian Arrotin 30 Nov '21

30 Nov '21

Hi, Long awaited feature request is now implemented on https://cbs.centos.org : you can now start requesting 9s tags to build against/for CentOS Stream 9 ! I already created some tags/targets for SIGs that already requested it some time ago through our dedicated infra tracker (reminder: https://pagure.io/centos-infra/issues) Worth knowing that the following repositories are enabled by default for all newly created 9s tags: - BaseOS - AppStream - CRB What's possible to add ? I know that for 8/8s some SIGs (like Cloud SIG for openstack) rely on other repositories, like HighAvailability , or others. Feel free to ask such repositories to be added to your build tags. It's also possible to build against CentOS Stream 9 buildroots if the pushed repositories don't include all -devel / runtime packages that you need at buildtime. For that, consider also asking for it if/when needed. Important ! Due to the way Stream 9 will be delivered (more news on that later, probably through Brian and/or Carl), I have locked all -release tags for 9s. What does that mean ? That you can build pkgs, and also tag to -testing (that will go out as usual to buildlogs.centos.org) but not to -release (even if tag is created already). Once we'll have figured out how to properly sign+push SIG content out, we'll announce the plan and also unlock the -release SIG tags Stay tuned for more information about that soon. Kind Regards, -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 17F3B7A1 | twitter: @arrfab

Board Nominations Requested
by Rich Bowen 29 Nov '21

29 Nov '21

** Please do read the message before responding with your nominations. We have a process, and if you don’t follow the process, it makes everything harder for everyone. Nominations go to a Google Form, and NOT to this list. Read on for more details. ** As per our governance docs - https://www.centos.org/about/governance/board/ and https://git.centos.org/centos/board/blob/master/f/directors/cohorts specifically - this is notification that we’re looking for nominations for directors to replace those departing at the end of this term. Every six months, half our our directors are asked if they wish to continue in their seats. That question has been asked, and we are awaiting the responses. Meanwhile, as you no doubt know, long-time director KB Singh has indicated that he will not be remaining for another term. To this end, we come to you, the CentOS Community, for nominations for who should fill those seats. Please submit your nominations to this form: https://forms.gle/G7mytxgHRpcYEC4ZA Please DO NOT send them to this list. There’s a few reasons for this: * Our governance indicates that the Board selects the next Board. We do not have any defined notion of project “membership” or a voting class of any kind, other than the Board itself. We do not wish to give any false impression that a public vote will be held on this list. * We do not wish for this to devolve into a bikeshed over proposed names. * We do not wish for individuals named to assume that they have any particular advantage over other nominees, nor do we wish for anyone to be shamed, embarrassed, or disappointed, if they are named and then not seated on the Board. The Board will collect those nominations, consider them at an upcoming meeting, and select the next Board at that time. We ask, if you wish to nominate someone, to consider the list of director requirements/recommendations listed at https://www.centos.org/about/governance/director-requirements/ It may also be wise to ask the individual if they are willing/able to serve. Thank you for your participation in this important moment in our project’s history. Rich, for the CentOS Board of Directors
