Upcoming CentOS events and COVID-19
by Rich Bowen 12 Mar '20

12 Mar '20

TL;DR: We have postponed the upcoming Dojo at Facebook, and are carefully watching the situation to determine any other event participation in the coming months. Due to the developing situation with the Corona virus and COVID-19, we have made the decision to postpone our upcoming CentOS Dojo that was scheduled to occur at Facebook on April 24th. Details of that event are here - https://wiki.centos.org/Events/Dojo/Facebook2020 - and will be updated once a new date has been selected. Other upcoming events are still scheduled to occur, as they are farther out. The next scheduled event will be at CERN on October 23rd, and we will update details as we get closer. Details for that event are available at https://wiki.centos.org/Events/Dojo/CERN2020 and the call for presentations is still open. Our planned booth presence at other upcoming events has been canceled for the foreseeable future, and we will update our event listing at https://wiki.centos.org/Events once the world situation improves and travel is once again feasible. There are several other proposed Dojos in the works at this time, but we are not going to publish any details until the epidemic crisis has passed. Thank you for your patience and understanding, and we'll send updates here once things become clearer. -- Rich Bowen - rbowen(a)redhat.com @CentOSProject // @rbowen 859 351 9166

CentOS 8 Stream: new python38 module
by Carl George 11 Mar '20

11 Mar '20

Howdy everyone, The CentOS team is pleased to announce that we have added a python38 module to CentOS 8 Stream. This has been published and is currently propagating out to the mirror network. We're hoping to get developer feedback on this module to help demonstrate the value of Stream and identify any potential issues before they make their way into RHEL and regular CentOS. We've listed some notable features below that python38 provides over the existing python36 module. We won't always announce updated Stream packages like this, but we wanted to highlight some of the early successes as we figure out the Stream workflow. Enjoy! * Built-in breakpoint() * https://docs.python.org/3.7/whatsnew/3.7.html#pep-553-built-in-breakpoint * https://realpython.com/python37-new-features/#the-breakpoint-built-in * Data classes * https://docs.python.org/3.7/whatsnew/3.7.html#dataclasses * https://realpython.com/python37-new-features/#data-classes * Overhauled asyncio module * https://docs.python.org/3.7/whatsnew/3.7.html#asyncio * https://realpython.com/python37-new-features/#asyncio-face-lift * Assignment expressions (walrus operator) * https://docs.python.org/3.8/whatsnew/3.8.html#assignment-expressions * https://realpython.com/python38-new-features/#the-walrus-in-the-room-assign… * F-strings support = for debugging * https://docs.python.org/3.8/whatsnew/3.8.html#f-strings-support-for-self-do… * https://realpython.com/python38-new-features/#simpler-debugging-with-f-stri… -- Carl George

Minutes for CentOS Board of Directors 2020-02-12
by Karsten Wade 11 Mar '20

11 Mar '20

[These are publishing a little late, I got busy and fell behind partially because the agenda/minutes process has multiple steps where blockages occurred. I'll keep working to improve the underlying process to make the production of these agendas and minutes more reliably consistent.] https://blog.centos.org/2020/03/minutes-for-centos-board-of-directors-2020-… On 2020-02-12 the CentOS Board of Directors met and discussed several ongoing efforts across the Project. The opening discussion was around the new work to evolve the project logo and branding identity being conducted in open channels. Overall the Directors really liked the direction the effort is going and were quite pleased with the open nature of the process. What is needed to bring a conclusion and present a final design for the Board’s approval is the completion of the open design discussion and decision process to be conducted in centos-devel. As the Board is working on adding new Directors and improving governance and transparency, there is an open discussion around the possibility of having a face-to-face meeting of the Board in 2020. This ideally would include an additional day of interactions with other project leadership. One idea floated was to conduct this prior to the CentOS Dojo being planned at CERN in October 2020. At the time of this writing, it is unknown if this Dojo will be affected by COVID-19 related or other travel restrictions. On another topic, in addition to the focused resources of the Community Platform Engineering (CPE) team that supports the CentOS Project in technical ways, Karsten gave a brief explanation of how the Community Architects from the Red Hat Open Source Program Office (OSPO) are in support of the project, specifically Rich Bowen on the community side, Brian Exelbierd on the business interaction side, and Karsten Wade on the strategic and visionary side. >From the Brussels Dojo, Karsten gave a report out about how he had a meeting room for one-to-one discussions with community members. These discussions were an invitation to talk about what works and doesn’t work for users and contributors around the project; an open office hours to hear out anything. It also served to help get an idea of how and why people use CentOS as a platform. This work is to help inform the CentOS 2020 open goals discussion now underway. In support of these efforts, the Board came to the following decisions, resolutions, and agreements: 1. Logo redesign 1. AGREED: Board is requesting Tuomas to lead the discussion on centos-devel toward creating the final /branding redesign proposal for the Board to give final approval on. This process should follow an open decision process of inviting participation, hearing out other ideas, and taking and incorporating feedback on the existing design ideas into the final plan. All this can be done over a reasonable time period of four to eight weeks, so that a decision can be reached that has an opportunity to include voices from across the community. 2. Board face-to-face 1. AGREED: Board will watch the travel situation with an eye toward deciding yay/nay on the face-to-face as the June timeframe approaches. 2. ACTION: Board will request RIch Bowen to coordinate with the Board Secretary on plans for adding meetings around the CERN Dojo. 3. Consent items 1. Adopt minutes from 2020-01-08 meeting 2. Noting that Fabian Arrotin has resigned his role as a CentOS Project Director as of October 2019. 4. Rolling (last from 2020-01-08): 1. Any other topics aka What other things do you want on our master initiatives list? 2. Stepping-up our meeting norms 3. Transparency initiatives Present at the meeting: * Ralph Angenendt * Jim Perrin * Mike McLean * Karsten Wade (Secretary) * Johnny Hughes -- Karsten Wade [he/him/his]| Senior Community Architect | @quaid Red Hat Open Source Program Office (OSPO) : @redhatopen https://community.redhat.com | https://next.redhat.com | https://theopensourceway.org gpg: AD0E0C41 | https://red.ht/sig

Packages dropping out of modules
by Paul Clifford 10 Mar '20

10 Mar '20

Earlier this month this was a report that softhsm was available but not installable in CentOS 8 due to a "No available modular metadata for modular package" error. The solution was to enable the idm:DL1 module, but my understanding is that modular packages shouldn't be visible while their modules are disabled (this seems to be the behaviour in RHEL 8). Looking in http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8/AppStream/x86_64/os/Packages/ there are two versions of softhsm in the AppStream repository: * softhsm-2.4.0-2.module_el8.1.0+253+3b90c921.x86_64.rpm * softhsm-2.4.0-2.module_el8.1.0+265+e1e65be4.x86_64.rpm The repository's modules.yaml file only describes one version of the module, idm:DL1:8010020200121181805:4a0acb9a:x86_64, which owns the newer package. When idm:DL1 is enabled this masks the older softhsm version but when it's disabled (the default) the newer package is removed from view, and with no repository metadata to indicate that the older softhsm is part of a module it effectively becomes an ordinary member of the AppStream repository. So "dnf install softhsm" offers two different package versions based on whether or not idm:DL1 is enabled, instead of failing with "Error: Unable to find a match" when the module is disabled. You can see a similar thing with the go-toolset module. It's enabled by default and disabling it should hide all of its packages. Instead, because a second version has been published (see the two versions of go-toolset, golang, etc at the earlier URL), disabling go-toolset makes the previous versions of all the packages appear as ordinary members of the AppStream repository. I found https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=16808 from around the time of the 8.0 release querying the lack of older version data, and have commented on it, but I wanted to confirm that I haven't misunderstood the expected behaviour. For example, if nodejs:12 receives an update and the earlier package versions drop out into the main AppStream repository it seems that this might cause conflicts for someone installing nodejs from a third party repository, even if they've disabled nodejs:12.

Update: CentOS Dojo at Facebook postponed
by Rich Bowen 05 Mar '20

05 Mar '20

Due to the change in the status of Red Hat Summit (https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/moving-red-hat-summit-2020-virtual-experience) we have made the decision to postpone the CentOS Dojo at Facebook to a later date. Many of our potential speakers, as well as many of our attendees, had travel plans that were dependent on attendance at Red Hat Summit, and without that event happening they are no longer able to travel. If you have already registered for the event, we encourage you to stay registered, so that we have an easy way to contact you about event updates through Eventbrite. We do still plan to hold an event at Facebook, but, due to the current corona virus situation, we are holding off on making any firm plans until the danger has passed. We thank you for your patience and understanding, and hope to see you when we reschedule. -- Rich Bowen - rbowen(a)redhat.com @CentOSProject // @rbowen 859 351 9166

I was asked to repost a thread from the CentOS forum on this mailing list: Sorry for starting a new thread. But there has not been any activity on the old thread for a month (2020-02-05) except for my request for a status update a week ago (2020-02-26) for which there was no reply. Can someone please tag the update so that it can be installed by users. The packages available to users are still broken, even though the update was built almost two month ago (2020-01-07). For details please see the previous threads and bug reports: https://forums.centos.org/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=73346 https://forums.centos.org/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=72682 https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=16759 https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=16523 The bug was first reported 2019-10-03 and the fixed packages were built 2020-01-07 but are not yet available for installation/update and the bug still affects users. And before someone replies "should be fixed in RHEL first" before reading the references above - this is a CentOS only bug that never existed in RHEL.
