We'll be holding our annual CentOS Dojo in Brussels on the Friday before
FOSDEM - January 31, 2020.
We're looking for content relating to any aspect of CentOS, from either
the user or developer perspective. The audience tends to be looking for
fairly deep technical content, but also of interest is introductory
content about new technology or software.
Sessions will be 45 minutes.
Look at https://wiki.centos.org/Events/Dojo/Brussels2019 for inspiration
as to the kind of content that has been selected in past years.
The CFP will close on November 18th, midnight Pacific US time.
More details about this event are available at
https://wiki.centos.org/Events/Dojo/Brussels2020

Hi All,
I need to build i686 packages for CentOS 8 through mock. Is there a repo setup for i686 build dependencies to be used by mock, and where could I find config file for i686 for mock build.
Regards,
Nupur
Hi.
FYI - I just added
centos-stream-x86_64
centos-stream-aarch64
centos-stream-ppc64le
to https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/
You can build your packages for these chroots now.

storage-devroom(a)lists.fosdem.org and we will try to answer as soon as
possible.
Thanks!
I see that CentOS-CR.repo is included with the centos-release package,
however there is no CR repo to be found at the location it has at the base
url:
[cr]
name=CentOS-$releasever - cr
baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/$contentdir/$releasever/cr/$basearch/os/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-centosofficial
$ dnf repolist
CentOS-8 - AppStream
173 kB/s | 5.6 MB 00:33
CentOS-8 - Base
976 kB/s | 5.3 MB 00:05
CentOS-8 - cr
222 B/s | 239 B 00:01
Error: Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'cr'
My assumption was that the AppStream repo was going to replace the CR repo,
is that correct? I'm wondering if that repo file was added accidentally?
Thanks-

Can someone explain what's going on with the kernel? The
kernel-4.18.0-80.7.1 package is the latest available via the repos,
despite kernel-4.18.0-80.11.2 having been compiled 16 days ago.
(https://koji.mbox.centos.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=4562) The koji
downloads appear to still be blocked.
The kernel-4.18.0-144 kernel used to be available via the Stream-BaseOS
repo, but it no longer appears to be showing up. The package is still
available for download, but it doesn't appear via dnf (although it has
previously). I suspect the package was removed from the repo metadata,
but the rpm file remains.
(http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8-stream/BaseOS/x86_64/os/Packages/kernel-4…)
To make things even more confusing, the kernel-4.18.0-80.7.2 package was
compiled a few days ago. And like the newer kernel-4.18.0-80.11.2,
appears to have never been pushed to the repos.
(https://koji.mbox.centos.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=4618)
So my question is why is kernel-4.18.0-80.11.2 available? Why was the
older kernel-4.18.0-80.7.2 built, and then never released? Is there an
issue with these packages in need of fixing, or it simply a bug in the
release/repo process?
The following issues were addressed by these newer kernel packages:
RHSA-2019:2411 / CVE-2019-1125 & CVE-2019-13272
RHSA-2019:2703 / CVE-2019-3846 & CVE-2019-3887 & CVE-2019-9500 &
CVE-2019-9503 & CVE-2019-11487 & CVE-2019-12817 & CVE-2018-19824
RHSA-2019:2827 / CVE-2019-14835
I haven't looked into the details, but at first glance the issues seem
rather important.

Hello
I've been evaluating CentOS 8 for a while now. I found that pacemaker and
pcs packages (aka "High Availability Addon") are missing in the default
repositories. They seem to exist in EPEL.
Is this a bug or an intention?
There's a thread on the forum regarding this -
