CentOS 8 Kernel Updates
by Ladar Levison 09 Oct '19

09 Oct '19

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.

Pacemaker and pcs missing in CentOS 8
by Fedor Piecka 08 Oct '19

08 Oct '19

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 - https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=71842&p=302047&hilit=pac… Regards

quota-devel package is not available in CentOS 8
by Alexander Bokovoy 07 Oct '19

07 Oct '19

Hi, it is my time now to ask for a package to be added to PowerTools: Samba needs quota-devel to compile with file system quota support. In RHEL 8 we do have the package in the build root but not in any published repos. This means we cannot rebuild Samba with quota in upstream CI to run CI on CentOS 8 (or CentOS Stream). How can quota-devel be added to a repository? -- / Alexander Bokovoy Sr. Principal Software Engineer Security / Identity Management Engineering Red Hat Limited, Finland

Centos 8 Stream Software app repodata fails
by Andrew Hall 06 Oct '19

06 Oct '19

Hey there the "Software" app in GNOME fails to refresh the cache although it has the URL set to http://mirror.centos.org/$contentdir/$stream/AppStream/x86_64/os/repodata/r… which presumably resolves to this: http://mirror.centos.org/centos-8/8.0.1905/AppStream/x86_64/os/repodata/ It would seem that it just reads the baseurl from /etc/yum.repos.d/Centos-Stream-Appstream.repo and yum repolist returns fine so I'm wondering how to troubleshoot this ? Currently the "Software" app shows no software at all which is a shame. Please do let me know if this is a known issue thanks very much.

CentOS Stream and major releases
by Mason Loring Bliss 06 Oct '19

06 Oct '19

I'm pretty sure I understand the workflow, or what will be the workflow, for CentOS Stream and RHEL, but there's one thing I'm curious about that I'd love to have clarified, at least to the extent that it's been planned or thought about so far: Historically, a major release of RHEL has been cut from Fedora and polished up (or chopped down or...) but now that CentOS Stream exists, I can see several paths forward. One possibility I envision is that CStream will progress at about the same pace as RHEL point releases today, which would suggest that when it comes time to branch something for RHEL 9, that might once again be Fedora, with the branch then being a major release of CStream that'll be polished into what will be released as RHEL 9.0. Another possibility is that CStream will move somewhat quicker, with point releases over time covering more ground, somewhat obviating the notion of a major release - but this would conflict with the notion of a stable platform for vendors and partners to use as a long-lived base for their products, so I suspect it's not the answer. A third possibility is that when RHEL 8 slows down [1] and there wouldn't normally be another point release of it, CStream will pick up pace and make bigger changes until it rolls forward to where RHEL 9 will pick up. This is the one I'm hoping for personally, as it would keep CStream as a continuous rolling release, and appropriate for situations where you'd want a rolling release. (There's no official equivalent to Leapp for CentOS, but this would mean that CStream wouldn't need one.) Is the current thinking close to one of these, or are there options I've missed?

Booting CentOS 8 in a VM - can't find the disk
by Richard W.M. Jones 03 Oct '19

03 Oct '19

I'm trying to boot CentOS 8 in a VM using my usual kickstart and virt-install recipes. Dracut fails in a way that indicates it cannot find the install disk: [ 4.984555] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): enp1s0: link is not ready [ 4.985509] 8021q: adding VLAN 0 to HW filter on device enp1s0 [ 5.599558] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): enp1s0: link becomes ready [ 7.058879] dracut-initqueue[926]: RTNETLINK answers: File exists [ 134.439929] dracut-initqueue[926]: Warning: dracut-initqueue timeout - starting timeout scripts [ 134.969517] dracut-initqueue[926]: Warning: dracut-initqueue timeout - starting timeout scripts [ 135.488283] dracut-initqueue[926]: Warning: dracut-initqueue timeout - starting timeout scripts (repeated endlessly until it drops into the emergency shell) The kernel sees the virtio-blk device, the kmod is loaded, and /dev/vda exists ...

Git fetch broken since git migration
by Quanah Gibson-Mount 02 Oct '19

02 Oct '19

Hi, The ability to use "git fetch" with the new CentOS git repository has been broken ever since the migration and is impacting multiple users. I filed a bug on this nearly 5 months ago (https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=16067) but there has not been any follow up. Would it be possible to please have this addressed? Thanks very much! Regards, Quanah

I guess I'm an idiot, but I can't find the subject SRPM anywhere. Are CentOS SRPMS available for download somewhere? Thanks! -- ======================================================================== Ian Pilcher arequipeno(a)gmail.com -------- "I grew up before Mark Zuckerberg invented friendship" -------- ========================================================================
