[infra] Planned outage : RDU2 network maintenance (please read) : 2023-11-17
by Fabian Arrotin 15 Nov '23

15 Nov '23

Due to a mandatory network maintenance at the RDU2 (Community Cage) facility/DC, we'll have to power off some CentOS infrastructure components hosted in that DC. Impacted services: - https://cbs.centos.org (impossible to submit any build, nor push to delivery network) - ns1.centos.org - all centos linux / stream 8 / stream 9 release engineering workflow (stream 8/9 can be built but not pushed out, while for the rest, all will be down) - https://git.centos.org - CI infra: - while openshift in aws is self-contained, there will be no way to request duffy nodes for tests - various other services Migration is scheduled for """"Friday November 17th, 1:00 pm UTC time"""". You can convert to local time with $(date -d '2023-11-17 13:00 UTC') The scheduled maintenance window (communicated to us) is estimated to 3h, but we'll restart infra services as soon as possible, following ourselves the current status internally. Thanks for your understanding and patience. on behalf of the Infra team, -- -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 17F3B7A1 | @arrfab[@fosstodon.org]

Should we be taking this opportunity to promote and direct CentOS Stream users to the CentOS category on the Fedora Discussion[0] platform? Similar to the Asahi Linux category, we could pitch up sub-topics to filter Project discussion and community support. While instant messaging and email platforms are available, I believe having an easier point of entry for longer lived and easily searchable material is a benefit to the community at large. Letting it passively wither or just outright decommissioning the platform without a similar service is not an ideal situation. Instant messaging is easy to get lost in and lose track of important discussions even with available *in-platform* search, and email is... well I don't think the vast majority of people on the net care for it that much or know how to use it "correctly". Maybe migrating to a HyperKitty platform like lists.fp.o[1] could help with that? > # centos linux 7 buiders (infra) > Not publicly visible but pretty obvious that we'll just keep that infra > running until CentOS Linux 7 EOL and then we'll just decommission it > entirely (as we'll not have to care about building/shipping anything for > centos linux 7 If there are hardware resources involved, would they be wholly decommissioned or repurposed for CentOS Stream + SIG usage?

by Troy Dawson 13 Nov '23

13 Nov '23

KDE has been updated in EPEL9. Versions: Plasma: 5.27.6 KF5: 5.108 Apps: 23.04.3 Known Issues: - kdepim-addons - Was not updated due to kf5-kitinerary not being updated due to older poplar in RHEL 9. -- The older version of kdepim-addons is not liking the newer libraries. -- Should be fixed this week. - lokalize - Does not install, has never installed. I kept thinking I could get it's dependencies in, but never have. -- I will be removing this package from epel9. Since it was un-installable, this shouldn't affect anyone. Deprecation: We are marking the following packages deprecated. They will not be in epel10. They will continue to be in epel9. - plasma-workspace-x11 - sddm-x11 Troy

status of CentOS Linux 7 usage in centos infra (please read)
by Fabian Arrotin 13 Nov '23

13 Nov '23

Hi all, As we're slowly approaching end of the year, and that 2024 is around the corner, I thought it would be good to discuss remaining centos linux 7 usage in our own infra, and so what to expect (or not). As a reminder, CentOS Linux 7 will go EOL in June 2024 so before that, we should have either decommissioned, or migrated from workload still running on CentOs 7 Here is the list of remaining services and action[s]: # mirrorlist/mirror network It's not a secret that starting from CentOS Stream 9, the default vhost for the mirror network is mirror.stream.centos.org, and the way dnf is configured by default is to use metalink prepared by Mirrormanager (hosted and maintained by Fedora infra team). So that means that : - all nodes behind mirror.centos.org can go away (and content pushed to vault.centos.org, as usual) and eventually (to be discussed) the A/AAAA record for mirror.centos.org completely removed from public DNS - mirrorlist.centos.org will also be decommissioned and so not answering anything anymore (A/AAAA record removed from public DNS too) The potential impact when we'll just decommission mirrorlist.centos.org is for SIGs building for RHEL (and not Stream) 8 and so still relying on mirrorlist= in their shipped .repo. The list of impacted SIGs should be really small and as the content itself will probably moved to mirror.stream.centos.org, there will be a different thread to discuss how to do that # CentOS Forums (https://forums.centos.org) We discussed this already in the past (on this list and elsewhere) : while we can quickly migrate that service to newer stack, the underlying question was more about current moderators saying that nobody will maintain that service after June 2024. So in the current situation, we'll just decommission the forums in 2024 with no replacement. Should the situation change between now and June 2024, we'd be able to migrate (or not) the service. # mailing list (lists.centos.org) This is probably the only public service still running on CentOS Linux 7 and for which I intend to work with Fedora Infra about the mailman3 stack. Their plan is to have it in Epel 9 so that they can themselves upgrade and we can then modify our ansible role for mailman and also test a list migration from mailman2 to mailman3. # torrent trackers We used to have torrent files for CentOS releases, but it stopped with CentOS Linux 8 and no .torrent files are produced for Stream artifacts. As the infra is still running centos linux 7, and that it will not be needed anymore after CentOS 7 EOL, we'll just decommission the service entirely. # centos linux 7 buiders (infra) Not publicly visible but pretty obvious that we'll just keep that infra running until CentOS Linux 7 EOL and then we'll just decommission it entirely (as we'll not have to care about building/shipping anything for centos linux 7 -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 17F3B7A1 | @arrfab[@fosstodon.org]

2023-11-08 - CentOS Public Board Meeting
by Thomas Oulevey 06 Nov '23

06 Nov '23

Hi Everyone, Our next board meeting will take place at 21:00 UTC on Wednesday: `date -d "2023-11-08 21:00 UTC"` If you would like to attend please send me an email to alphacc(a)centosproject.org ( please do not reply to @centos-devel or use another email address) and you will receive a link to a meeting room with a passcode, 1 hour before the meeting takes place. The agenda can be checked at (work in progress) : https://hackmd.io/@centosboard/B1UrTPIma As a reminder we will enforce few rules : * Wait to be recognized by the Chair before speaking * Respect the Chair when told your time to speak is over - this will allow us to remain on agenda, and complete the meetings in the allotted time * In the event that there are Board-confidential topics, these will be put at the end of the meeting, in Executive Session, and guests will be asked to leave. We hope to minimize these items, but they do sometimes happen. The most common scenarios in which this may happen are personnel issues, or information that Red Hat wishes to share with the Board, but is not yet public. * Muting of participants, or, in extreme situations, ejection from the meeting, is at the sole discretion of the Chair. * Meetings will be recorded, and published to YouTube (possibly with edits/redaction, as approved by the Directors). Thus, by joining the meeting you consent to have your presence at the meeting, and anything you say during the meeting, made public. I hope some of you can join. thanks, -- Thomas 'alphacc' Oulevey CentOS Board of Directors Secretary alphacc(a)centosproject.org

Hello everyone. We sae ceph released ceph 16.2.14, and we want to upgrade to it. I can see on the build service that the build for el8 was done, but when I check the updates, I do not see any updates to 16.2.14. And if I look at: http://mirror.centos.org/centos-8/8/storage/x86_64/ceph-pacific/Packages/c/, I do not see them as well. Will 16.2.14 be pushed to el8 repos? Thanks, Luis Domingues Proton AG

RDO Bobcat Released
by Amy Marrich 24 Oct '23

24 Oct '23

RDO Bobcat Released The RDO community is pleased to announce the general availability of the RDO build for OpenStack 2023.2 Bobcat for RPM-based distributions, CentOS Stream and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. RDO is suitable for building private, public, and hybrid clouds. Bobcat is the 28th release from the OpenStack project, which is the work of more than 1,000 contributors from around the world. The release is already available for CentOS Stream 9 on the CentOS mirror network in: http://mirror.stream.centos.org/SIGs/9-stream/cloud/x86_64/openstack-bobcat/ The RDO community project curates, packages, builds, tests and maintains a complete OpenStack component set for RHEL and CentOS Stream and is a member of the CentOS Cloud Infrastructure SIG. The Cloud Infrastructure SIG focuses on delivering a great user experience for CentOS users looking to build and maintain their own on-premise, public or hybrid clouds. All work on RDO and on the downstream release, Red Hat OpenStack Platform, is 100% open source, with all code changes going upstream first. The highlights of the broader upstream OpenStack project may be read via https://releases.openstack.org/bobcat/highlights.html but here are some highlights: - New Cinder driver features were added, notably, QoS support for Fujitsu ETERNUS DX driver, replication-enabled consistency groups support for Pure Storage driver, and Active/Active support for NetApp NFS driver. - Glance added support for RBD driver to move images to the trash if they cannot be deleted immediately due to having snapshots. - The Neutron service has enabled the new API policies (RBAC) with system scope and default roles by default. - The Nova legacy quota driver is now deprecated and a nova-manage limits command is provided in order to migrate the orginal limits into Keystone. We plan to change the default quota driver to the unified limits driver in an upcoming release. It is recommended that you begin planning and executing a migration to unified limits as soon as possible. OpenStack Bobcat is not marked as Skip Level Upgrade Release Process or SLURP. According to this model ( https://governance.openstack.org/tc/resolutions/20220210-release-cadence-ad…) this means that upgrades will only be supported from the Antelope 2023.1 release. RDO Bobcat 2023.2 has been built and tested with the recently released Ceph 18.2.0 Reef version (https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/releases/reef/) which has been published by the CentOS Storage SIG in the official CentOS repositories. *Note:* Follow the instructions in [RDO documentation]( https://www.rdoproject.org/install/install-with-ceph/) to install OpenStack and Ceph services in the same host. During the Bobcat 2023.2 development cycle, the RDO community has implemented automatic dependency detection at run and build time. We expect that these changes will lead to more accurate dependency chains in OpenStack packages and less manual maintenance tasks for community maintainers. Following upstream retirement, some packages are not present in RDO Bobcat 2023.2 release: - python-networking-odl - python-networking-omnipath - python-networking-vmware-nsx - python-oswin-tests-tempest - python-os-xenapi - python-patrole - python-stackviz - python-vmware-nsxlib - python-vmware-nsx-tests-tempest Contributors - During the Bobcat cycle, we saw the following new RDO contributors: - Arkady Shtempler - Dariusz Smigiel - Dave Wilde - Fabricio Aguiar - Jakub Skunda - Joan Francesc Gilabert - Maor Blaustein - Mohammad Abunemeh - Szymon Datko - Yadnesh Kulkarni Welcome to all of you and Thank You So Much for participating! But we wouldn’t want to overlook anyone. A super massive Thank You to all 47 contributors who participated in producing this release. This list includes commits to rdo-packages, rdo-infra, and rdo-website repositories: - Alfredo Moralejo Alonso - Amy Marrich - Ananya Banerjee - Arkady Shtempler - Artom Lifshitz - Arx Cruz - Bhagyashri Shewale - Bohdan Dobrelia - Chandan Kumar - Daniel Pawlik - Dariusz Smigiel - Dave Wilde - Douglas Viroel - Enrique Vallespi Gil - Fabricio Aguiar - Giulio Fidente - Goutham Pacha Ravi - Gregory Thiemonge - Grzegorz Grasza - Ihar Hrachyshka - Jakub Skunda - Jiří Podivín - Jiří Stránský - Joan Francesc Gilabert - Joel Capitao - Karolina Kula - Karthik Sundaravel - Luca Miccini - Lucas Alvares Gomes - Luigi Toscano - Luis Tomas Bolivar - Maor Blaustein - Marios Andreou - Mathieu Bultel - Matthias Runge - Mohammad Abunemeh - Rodolfo Alonso Hernandez - Ronelle Landy - Sandeep Yadav - Slawomir Kaplonski - Soniya29 vyas - Szymon Datko - Takashi Kajinami - Tobias Urdin - Tom Weininger - Yadnesh Kulkarni - Yatin Karel The Next Release Cycle At the end of one release, focus shifts immediately to the next release i.e Caracal. Get Started To spin up a proof of concept cloud, quickly, and on limited hardware, try an All-In-One Packstack installation. You can run RDO on a single node to get a feel for how it works. Finally, for those that don’t have any hardware or physical resources, there’s the OpenStack Global Passport Program. This is a collaborative effort between OpenStack public cloud providers to let you experience the freedom, performance and interoperability of open source infrastructure. You can quickly and easily gain access to OpenStack infrastructure via trial programs from participating OpenStack public cloud providers around the world. Get Help The RDO Project has our users(a)lists.rdoproject.org for RDO-specific users and operators. For more developer-oriented content we recommend joining the dev(a)lists.rdoproject.org mailing list. Remember to post a brief introduction about yourself and your RDO story. The mailing lists archives are all available at https://mail.rdoproject.org. You can also find extensive documentation on RDOproject.org. The #rdo channel on OFTC IRC is also an excellent place to find and give help. We also welcome comments and requests on the CentOS devel mailing list and the CentOS IRC channels (#centos, #centos-cloud, #centos-devel in Libera.Chat network), however we have a more focused audience within the RDO venues. Get Involved To get involved in the OpenStack RPM packaging effort, check out the RDO contribute pages, peruse the CentOS Cloud SIG page, and inhale the RDO packaging documentation. Join us in #rdo and on the OFTC IRC network and follow us on Twitter @RDOCommunity. You can also find us on Facebook and YouTube. *Amy Marrich* She/Her/Hers Principal Technical Marketing Manager - Cloud Platforms Red Hat, Inc <https://www.redhat.com/> amy(a)redhat.com Mobile: 954-818-0514 Slack: amarrich IRC: spotz <https://www.redhat.com/>
