CentOS stream meeting - update
by Rich Bowen 17 Oct '19

17 Oct '19

Last week a group of Red Hat engineers, management, and members of the CentOS and Fedora communities, met at the Red Hat office in Boston to discuss how to implement CentOS Stream and formally kick-off the project, which, as you are aware, was announced the week before. Many details that were omitted in the original announcement were debated, and we came to an agreement on much, but not all, of these things. First of all, I want to ask that you be patient with us. Changing the way that the hundreds of people on the RHEL team do their work is going to take time. Developing the tooling to make everything work perfectly, and in an automated fashion, is also going to take time. And some of the things that were proposed to the Board will end up changing, based on what doesn’t work, and on the feedback from you, the CentOS community, as well as Red Hat’s customers and partners. A central point of discussion was ensuring transparency. We want to move the RHEL development more into the public, and CentOS Stream is the cornerstone of that. CentOS Stream will be a rolling preview of what is happening in RHEL development. This will allow you to experiment with the next version before it releases, and ensure that what you are working on will work, day one, when the next minor release of RHEL is announced. SIGs, too, will be able to build and test against this preview, so that when the next minor release comes out, there will be no surprises. We are working on a FAQ to answer what we anticipate will be at the top of everyone’s mind, but I’ll address a few questions that we’re already receiving. Q: How many streams will there be? Will there be a stream for 8 and another for 9? A: When the development for RHEL 9 begins, the stream for 8 will end. We plan to have a one-year overlap, to allow for transition from one stream to the other. But we do not intend to keep the 8 Stream going for the entirety of the RHEL 8 support window. Q: How can I contribute changes? A: This is still being worked on, and we ask for your patience as we work towards this. This is indeed a goal, but getting the stream itself working perfectly must happen first. Meanwhile, we’re working with the RHEL engineering team on a process where contributions from the community can be considered as part of their regular development workflow. The last thing we want is to set an expectation that we cannot meet, so we want to ensure that we have a workable process before we start asking you for contributions. We encourage your further questions, and look forward to figuring out with you how to make CentOS Stream successful for all constituents. -- Rich Bowen: CentOS Community Manager rbowen(a)redhat.com @rbowen // @CentOSProject 1 859 351 9166

The Weekly Email Updates from CPE - Reason Unmasked :)
by Aoife Moloney 17 Oct '19

17 Oct '19

Hi Everyone, By now you are probably wondering why there have been a few weekly emails to the devel list updating you with CPE projects, and who is the person sending them! So ahead of tomorrow's update, I'd like to introduce myself :) My name is Aoife Moloney and I recently started with the Community Platform Engineering (CPE) team in September. I'm based out of the Waterford office in Ireland have been with Red Hat since 2017. When the opportunity came along to work closer to the culture of Red Hat by working with a team that is at a more community level, I jumped at it! My role with the CPE team is going to be a hybrid role of a Product Owner / Project Manager and for one of my roles responsibilities, I wanted to give a weekly update to the lists as an insight into what the CPE team have worked on over the past week or so. We as a team wanted to give more visibility on our work in the community and in Red Hat, and also have an opportunity to engage with more contributors for requests like call to arms, app retirement notices, freezes, success stories we have, and anything else relevant :) These updates are currently being mirrored at a much higher level in the Fedora Project weekly blog <https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/fpgm-report-2019-38/> and I hope to do the same for the CentOS side give maximum visibility soon. As this is a new initiative, the format may evolve and be tailored as we go, so please feel free to send comments/suggestions to let us know how we can improve this information segment! The CPE team looks after interests in both CentOS and Fedora, so this update is also going to include work done on areas that are not your Community, but for transparency, we are including it :) I hope you are finding them informative/useful and thanks for reading! Kindest regards, Aoife -- Aoife Moloney Feature Driver Community Platform Engineering Team Red Hat EMEA <https://www.redhat.com> Communications House Cork Road Waterford <https://www.redhat.com>

Mock config for CentOS Stream
by Miroslav Suchý 14 Oct '19

14 Oct '19

Mock already ships config for CentOS Stream https://github.com/rpm-software-management/mock/blob/devel/mock-core-config… Thou, it does not contains Epel as oposed to epel-8-* configs: https://github.com/rpm-software-management/mock/blob/devel/mock-core-config… I am not sure what should be relation between Epel and Stream. It is intended to work together? Or not? I will appreciate any comments to those Mock's configs. -- Miroslav Suchy, RHCA Red Hat, Associate Manager ABRT/Copr, #brno, #fedora-buildsys

CR repo in CentOS 8
by Lance Albertson 10 Oct '19

10 Oct '19

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- -- Lance Albertson Director Oregon State University | Open Source Lab
