Stepping away from the CentOS Board
by Jim Perrin 08 Nov '21

08 Nov '21

Hi folks, The TL;DR for this email: I intend to step away from the CentOS Board at the end of my term. I've deeply appreciated the opportunity to guide and contribute to the project since 2004, but it's time to give newer contributors their chance to lead. While I'm excited about CentOS Stream as the new Evolution in our community work, my obligations elsewhere require more and more of my attention. Since our policies ask for notice, I'm doing so a bit early so we have appropriate time to find candidates and they can clearly state their opinions and positions on matters for the project. I'd say "thanks for the memories and friendships over the years" but I'm not going far and I'm sure I'll continue to pester various folks when it's warranted. -- Jim Perrin The CentOS Project | http://www.centos.org twitter: @BitIntegrity | GPG Key: FA09AD77

[Kmods SIG] Release Announcement
by Peter Georg 08 Nov '21

08 Nov '21

Dear all, I'm pleased to announce that the Kmods SIG released the first bunch of packages. These packages have previously been available in testing repositories. To ease access and extend visibility these have now been released. Note about Secure Boot: All kernel modules are currently NOT signed by a private key, i.e. you need to disable Secure Boot to be able to use these kernel modules. Instructions how to enable the Kmods SIG repositories can be found here: https://sigs.centos.org/kmods/repositories/ The documentation [1] is still WIP but already provides some useful information. E.g. lists of currently available packages for Enterprise Linux 8 and Stream 8. Thanks and best regards, Peter (on behalf of the CentOS Kmods SIG) [1]: https://sigs.centos.org/kmods

Extras in CentOS Stream 9
by Brian Stinson 08 Nov '21

08 Nov '21

Hi Folks, With CentOS Stream 9 we are publishing SIG content separately from OS content to make things easier to deliver (http://mirror.stream.centos.org/9-stream/ vs. http://mirror.stream.centos.org/SIGs/) Everything under the 9-stream directory corresponds to a repository in RHEL and repo files are included by default in centos-stream-repos at install time. Currently (in CentOS Linux) SIGs build their own repo files into centos-release-<sig> packages and ask for their release in CentOS Extras. We also ship things like epel-release and elrepo-release in Extras. I'd like to continue this in Stream 9 but make things a little bit easier for SIGs to self-manage their repo packages. Proposal: - Extras will continue but as a SIG repository, including the appropriate tags in CBS, and a separate gpg key - Extras, beginning with Stream 9, will not contain any other content besides repo packages - Extras will be the only SIG repo included in centos-stream repos (to allow folks to dnf install other repo packages) - Each SIG leader (or a designate) will be an ex-officio member of the group, allowed to tag centos-release-<sig> packages in for publishing - Other repositories (like EPEL) may also have a member designated to manage its release package If this is something SIG leaders are interested in, I will take a formal proposal to the board for sponsorship. Any comments? --Brian

Wrong checksums in .treeinfo for c9s
by Igor Raits 06 Nov '21

Hello, I've noticed that various checksums in https://composes.stream.centos.org/production/latest-CentOS-Stream/compose/… differ from the actual files (which actually causes issues with repository synchronization via pulp)… images/efiboot.img ba4708357be491ef543d64500f5cdd319bf3c02a3a804a3173053cbfdd8adc6b (real: 10752542594c7dc4893cde318f7d984d50fec213fd0b3031d1b11760b481f0ec) images/pxeboot/initrd.img 13e44ba46847be15122b1a353e293ea23b2ab153268e7eecb9004dae4faa7daa (real: 2ffa3ff06f9148bff8bea4926a0523268b8e10e5c7a708903945bac22b5f558a) Is this known issue? If not, where would one report it if not on this mailing list? Thanks in advance, Igor.

On behalf of the CentOS Board of Directors, and the whole CentOS community, I want to thank KB for his years of service as project leader and chair of the board. KB has shaped the project for almost 2 decades, and has made the world a better place by his work over the years. KB, it's been a privilege to work with you for the past few years. Thank you for your trust and respect as I've become part of that story. I wish you much joy in your future endeavors, and will always appreciate the chance to work alongside you on this great project. Please join me in thanking KB, and in telling your KB stories. Context, in case you missed it: https://karan.org/posts/stepping-down/ -- Rich Bowen: CentOS Community Manager rbowen(a)redhat.com @rbowen // @CentOSProject 1 859 351 9166

ceph and centos:stream8
by Ken Dreyer 02 Nov '21

02 Nov '21

Hi folks, We were using "centos:8" as a base for upstream Ceph images (https://quay.io/repository/ceph/ceph) ubi8's /etc/yum.repos.d/ubi.repo does not have all the packages we need, so we're considering switching to quay.io/centos/centos:stream8 as our new base image for Ceph upstream to keep the base images current. I'm posting this to the centos list to see if there are engineering concerns about which we should be aware. - Ken

Announcing centos-plus repo for 8-stream
by Fabian Arrotin 29 Oct '21

29 Oct '21

We used to have a "plus" repository for CentOS 7 and 8, that contained packages from OS, but rebuilt differently. Most known examples in CentOS 8 plus repository are the kernel-plus and thunderbird (with openpgp support). As CentOS 8 is going EOL end of this year, and that some us still need to rely on that specific thunderbird package, we agreed to just use the SIG process for the plus repository, instead of having such packages being built through the distro builders. So if you're already on CentOS Stream 8 , you can just install (like for other SIGs) a specific package containing both the .repo file *and* needed gpg key used to sign the packages. How to enable/use it ? : sudo dnf install centos-release-plus -y As stated in /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Stream-Plus.repo, you can now enable it (remember that it can overwrite base packages, reason why we also ship it as disabled) sudo dnf config-manager --enable centos-stream-plus You can now install pkg from it, like thunderbird : sudo dnf install thunderbird Tip: if you want to just use some pkgs from one specific repo, you can also just use excludepkgs/includepkgs statements in your .repo configuration (see https://dnf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/conf_ref.html#options-for-both-main-an…) -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 17F3B7A1 | twitter: @arrfab

Missing thunderbird 91.2.0-1 "plus"
by Chris Schanzle 28 Oct '21

28 Oct '21

Just noticed thunderbird 91.2.0-1.el8.plus is not available in the "plus" repo for CentOS 8. It does exist for CentOS 7. The plus release keeps encrypted email functional in the new 91.x ESR release by not removing a library RHEL doesn't want to ship/support. If there are other workarounds/things to install to make the non-plus version work, I would appreciate the info. Thanks!
