AutoSD and Eclipse SDV
by Leonardo Rossetti 02 May '25

02 May '25

Hello, I would like to write a proposal to the Eclipse SDV community[0] about creating a project (i.e. a repository) to maintain an AutoSD[1] image to meet their needs while exposing our automotive platform to Eclipse SDV members. Eclipse SDV (Software Defined Vehicle) is a working group under the eclipse foundation organization that aims to act as an umbrella OSS organization for SDV related projects[2]. AutoSD does not provide “base images” as upstream CentOS Stream but it does provide sample manifest files[3] and tooling[4] to build AutoSD images using said manifest files as source; It’s important to note that those as “sample manifest files”, meaning that they serve as example for AutoSD users to create and maintain their own manifest files. The main reason why we do not provide a base image is because automotive use cases may vary significantly for each user and it’s tricky to provide a “base OS” that can be either extended or modified. That being said, the proposal to Eclipse SDV is about maintaining a project (repository) in their org. that would host manifest files to build an AutoSD image that fits Eclipse SDV use-cases while using our upstream tooling to build it, that repository will only host YAML files used to build an AutoSD image, such as this one[5]. It’s important to note that the image will still be using everything else from upstream CentOS, such as RPMs, container images and so on. We are not moving any packages or source code development to Eclipse SDV, just some manifest files that will be used to build an image. Any thoughts or concerns about doing so?

RDO Epoxy 2025.1 Release - Important Note at Bottom
by Amy Marrich 01 May '25

01 May '25

RDO Epoxy 2025.1 Release - Important Note at Bottom The RDO community is pleased to announce the general availability of RDO builds for OpenStack 2025.1 Epoxy for RPM-based distributions, CentOS Stream and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. RDO is suitable for building private, public and hybrid clouds. Epoxy is the 31st release of the OpenStack project, backed by over 1,000 contributors worldwide. This release is already available on CentOS Stream 9 on the CentOS mirror network: https://mirror.stream.centos.org/SIGs/9-stream/cloud/x86_64/openstack-epoxy/ The RDO community project curates, packages, builds, tests, and maintains a complete set of OpenStack components for RHEL and CentOS Stream and is a member of the CentOS Cloud SIG. The Cloud SIG focuses on delivering a great user experience for CentOS users looking to build and maintain on-premise, public, or hybrid clouds. All work on RDO and its downstream release, Red Hat OpenStack Services on OpenShift, is 100% open source, with all code changes going into it's related upstream first. You can read the broader upstream OpenStack project highlights at https://releases.openstack.org/epoxy/highlights.html, but here are some highlights: - Notably, active/active support for Dell PowerStore, Dell PowerStore QoS support, NetApp adding support for active/active mode in ISCSI/FC drivers, HPE Nimble replication, and StorPool adding support for pool-to-pool cloning. - To address OSSN-0090 and OSSN-0065, support was added for a new add/get location API that replaces the image update (old location-add) mechanism for consumers such as cinder and nova. - Ironic includes multiple security improvements: - All supported mechanism drivers (ML2/OVS, ML2/OVN) can now use the WSGI API module, and the first phase of deprecation of the eventlet library is complete. - Instances with UEFI can now boot in stateless pending if the image has the hw_firmware_statelessproperty and the compute service has libvirt 8.6.0 or later. According to this model ( https://governance.openstack.org/tc/resolutions/20220210-release-cadence-ad…) upgrades will only be supported from the Caracal 2024.1 release to the next SLURP release (phase Epoxy). RDO Epoxy 202 5.1 has been published by the CentOS Storage SIG in the official CentOS repository and has been built and tested with the latest released Ceph 18.2.0 Reef version ( https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/releases/reef/) *Note:* Follow the instructions in the [RDO documentation]( https://www.rdoproject.org/install/install-with-ceph/) to install OpenStack and Ceph services on the same host. During Epoxy cycle, some projects have been retired or declared inactive upstream. As such, the following packages for some projects are not present in the RDO Epoxy 2025.1 release: - python-saharaclient (https://review.rdoproject.org/r/c/rdoinfo/+/54360) - puppet-corosync (https://review.rdoproject.org/r/c/rdoinfo/+/53127) - python-oauth2client (dependency https://review.rdoproject.org/r/c/rdoinfo/+/54115) During the next release we will continue working on retiring inactive packages in order to ensure RDO content quality and security. Contributors: - During the Epoxy cycle, we saw the following new RDO contributors: - Ashish Gupta - Dmitriy Chubinidze - Francisco Seruca Salgado - Ivan Anfimov - Lilach Avraham - Manoj Katari - Saurabh Agarwal - Sofer Athlan-Guyot - Viji Candappa 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 51 contributors who participated in producing this release. This list includes commits to rdo-packages, rdo-infra, and rdo-website repositories: - Alan Pevec - Alfredo Moralejo - Amy Marrich - Ananya Banerjee - Artom Lifshitz - Ashish Gupta - Bogdan Dobrelya - Chandan Kumar - Daniel Pawlik - Dmitriy Chubinidze - Douglas Viroel - Eduardo Olivares - Fiorella Yanac - Francesco Pantano - Francisco Seruca Salgado - Harald Jensås - Ivan Anfimov - Jakub Libosvar - Jaromír Wysoglad - Joan Francesc Gilabert - Joel Capitao - Karolina Kula - Lewis Denny - Lilach Avraham - Luigi Toscano - Manoj Katari - Maor Blaustein - Martin Kopec - Matthias Runge - Matthieu Huin - Miguel Garcia - Mikołaj Ciecierski - Pablo Rodríguez Nava - Pooja Jadhav - Rabi Mishra - Radomir Dopieralsk - iRodolfo Alonso - Ronelle Landy - Saurabh Agarwal - Sergii Golovatiuk - Shreshtha Joshi - Sławek Kapłoński - Sofer Athlan-Guyot - Takashi Kajinami - Tobias Urdin - Tony Breeds - Viji Candappa - Yatin Karel The Next Release Cycle At the end of one release, focus shifts immediately to the next release i.e Epoxy. 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. For those that do not have any hardware or physical resources, there is 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://www.rdoproject.org/community/mailing-lists/. 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. Join us in #rdo and on the OFTC IRC network. You can also find us on Facebook and YouTube. *Important Note!* We had a thriving, if small, group of community members maintaining packages prior to COVID and we need to return to those days of having folks participate in this effort. The OpenStack RPM packaging effort is in need of package maintainers in order to continue having RPMs. The current maintainers have moved on to new opportunities, so while we have folks continuing to contribute, we currently have no folks to build and maintain packages. Please check out the RDO contribute pages, peruse the CentOS Cloud SIG page, and inhale the RDO packaging documentation. Please reach out if you can help! *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

[Infra] - Planned outage : cbs.centos.org - April 29th
by Fabian Arrotin 28 Apr '25

28 Apr '25

Due to a koji upgrade, we'll have to temporary shutdown CentOS Community Build System (aka https://cbs.centos.org) Migration is scheduled for """"Tuesday April 29th, 7:00 am UTC time"""". You can convert to local time with $(date -d '2025-04-29 07:00 UTC') The expected "downtime" is estimated to ~30 minutes , time needed to - disable kojid hosts (eventually a little bit before to ensure running jobs would be finished) - upgrade kojihub to version 1.35.2 (including DB schema changes) - upgrade and enable back koji builders For full details, see https://pagure.io/centos-infra/issue/1639 PS : worth knowing that koji 1.35 introduces a new "on demand" repo generation (https://docs.pagure.org/koji/repo_generation/) . For compatibility purposes, we'll just enable the repo.auto=True setting on existing build tags for el8/el9s/el9s/el10s build tags so that you don't have to wait for repo to be regenerated when submitting a new build) If you want to opt-out, feel free to ask us through infra ticket 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]

Proposal to default to GitLab for SIG packaging
by Davide Cavalca 27 Apr '25

27 Apr '25

In the last Board meeting we discussed the future of git.centos.org, and whether it would make sense to encourage SIGs to move over to GitLab, as we already have a group at gitlab.com/centos and that's where CentOS Stream development is happening (under gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream) GitLab also provides features (notably, CI integration via Pipelines and an improved code review flow) that some SIGs would like to use and would benefit from. To this end, I have filed https://git.centos.org/centos/board/issue/129 to summarize the discussion and decide the next steps. We'd welcome any comments and feedback on this. To be clear, there are no plans to sunset git.centos.org at this time. Cheers Davide

OpenQA instance for CentOS - current state and next steps
by Aleksandra Fedorova 15 Apr '25

15 Apr '25

Hi, folks, we have been discussing this feature for a while, but not officially. So let me bring this up for a wider audience: = Overview OpenQA is a test orchestration framework used by OpenSUSE and Fedora and it is more or less tailored to testing distribution images. There is a number of tests written by Fedora QA team which are being triggered on every nightly compose, and we would like to explore the possibility to run these tests in the CentOS project on CentOS images. Additionally there has been an open request from CentOS Alt Images and Hyperscale SIGs to provide the way to test their own images as well. We would like to address this need under the umbrella of the CentOS Integration SIG. = Plan 1) setup a dedicated OpenQA instance as close as possible to how Fedora OpenQA instance is deployed; 2) ensure that it can run at least one test from Fedora QA test suite on a standard CentOS Stream compose; 3) Offer interested parties (Hyperscale, Alt Images, Installer team at Red Hat..) to extend the functionality; 4) .. NOT in the plan: - To replace existing compose tests CentOS Stream. = What has been done Jan Scotka created a local proof-of-concept and is now ready to do the deployment. See details in https://gitlab.com/CentOS/Integration/general/-/issues/8 = Help needed We have infrastructure request filed in: https://pagure.io/centos-infra/issue/1631 And of course we would love to have more people joining, getting familiar with OpenQA capabilities and using it for their work. -- Aleksandra Fedorova Matrix: @bookwar:fedora.im Fediverse/Mastodon: @bookwar@fosstodon.org

2025-04-09 - CentOS Public Board Meeting
by Thomas Oulevey 07 Apr '25

07 Apr '25

Hi Everyone, Our next board meeting will take place at 20:00 UTC on Wednesday: `date -d "2025-04-09 20:00 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/H1kcOFOaJx 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
