by Shaun McCance 28 Nov '22

28 Nov '22

Hi folks, We're finally ready for the full announcement! Join us in Brussels on Friday, February 3 for CentOS Connect. https://connect.centos.org/ CentOS Connect is a free mini-conference focusing on CentOS Stream, the CentOS SIGs, and the entire Enterprise Linux ecosystem. We're looking forward to seeing people in person again. And if you can't make it to Brussels, we're planning a virtual component as well. The Call for Proposals is now open, until December 14. We're looking for both short and long talks about CentOS Streams, our SIGs, and everything surrounding the CentOS project. See the website for more details and for the submission link. Please spread this information wherever you think people might be interested. And remember to register. Registration is free, but space is limited and we may not be able to accept walkins. Also, we will have a room block at the event hotel, but I don't have the link available yet. I'll update as soon as I have it. Thanks!

26 Nov '22

Hello List, Does anyone have any idea why the "NEW" freeipa-4 for firewalld does not work as a "rule", all ports remain closed? with the command firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=external --add-service=freeipa-4 does it open the ports but it doesn't work in a rule statement? firewall-cmd --add-rich-rule='rule family="ipv4" source address="89.XXX.XXX.0/ XX" service name="freeipa-4" log prefix="freeipa-4" level= "info" limit value="1/m" accept' --permanent it is extra in freeipa-4 you should use the NEW freeipa-4 everything else is outdated? Where's the mistake? -- mit freundlichen Grüßen / best Regards, Günther J. Niederwimmer

Latest CentOS Stream 8 kernel package?
by Bussi Andrea 25 Nov '22

25 Nov '22

My CentOS Stream 8 machines have: kernel-4.18.0-408.el8.x86_64 as the most recent kernel package. (Top of the changelog: * Wed Jul 06 2022 Jarod Wilson <jarod(a)redhat.com> [4.18.0-408.el8] - powerpc/smp: Set numa node before updating mask (Diego Domingos) [2103833] - iommu/vt-d: Fix potential memory leak in intel_setup_irq_remapping() (Mohammed Gamal) [2088366] - irqdomain/treewide: Free firmware node after domain removal (Mohammed Gamal) [2088366] - x86/kvmclock: Fix Hyper-V Isolated VM's boot issue when vCPUs > 64 (Mohammed Gamal) [2088366] - x86/kvm: Don't waste memory if kvmclock is disabled (Mohammed Gamal) [2088366] - x86/pci: Create PCI/MSI irqdomain after x86_init.pci.arch_init() (Mohammed Gamal) [2088366] ) But, being released in July, it's a bit old and surely missing some fixes and security patches. I was wondering if that is the last released kernel package, or if there's something wrong with my machines. I could not find a more recent kernel package, but maybe I'm not looking in the right places. I tried: https://composes.centos.org/ https://git.centos.org/rpms/kernel/commits/c8s https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/rpms/kernel/-/tree/c8s https://koji.mbox.centos.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=866 For comparison, my AlmaLinux 8 machines have: kernel-4.18.0-425.3.1.el8 (Top of the changelog: * Fri Sep 30 2022 Jarod Wilson <jarod(a)redhat.com> [4.18.0-425.3.1.el8] - iwlwifi: limit fw version for AC9560 to avoid fw crash (<C3><8D><C3><B1>igo Huguet) [2129297] - sfc: fix null pointer dereference in efx_hard_start_xmit (<C3><8D><C3><B1>igo Huguet) [2119638] - sfc: fix TX channel offset when using legacy interrupts (<C3><8D><C3><B1>igo Huguet) [2119638] - netfilter: conntrack: reduce timeout when receiving out-of-window fin or rst (Florian Westphal) [2047366] - netfilter: conntrack: remove unneeded indent level (Florian Westphal) [2047366] - netfilter: conntrack: ignore overly delayed tcp packets (Florian Westphal) [2047366] ) Thanks, Andrea

New glibc DSO dependency sorter is coming to CentOS 8 Stream
by Florian Weimer 22 Nov '22

22 Nov '22

We have a glibc build unter test (glibc-2.28-221.el8) that switches the DSO dependency sorter to the current upstream version. It's already part of CentOS 9 Stream (and was introduced into Fedora 35 in January this year). The dependency sorter determines the order in which ELF shared objects are initialized, and in case of multiple shared objects providing the same symbol, which symbol definition is chosen for the process. The old dependency sorter exhibits very bad performance with certain dependency graphs. For example, some users have reported significant delays during process exit after many shared objects have been opened using dlopen. The old and new algorithm do not necessarily produce the same results in all cases if cycles are involved (which means that there is no one true solution to the initialization order problem). This means that there is a possiblity of an observable behavioral difference, although we have not received any reports that this causes problems. Thanks, Florian

Changes to CentOS CI: reminder of Phase 3 and update on OpenShift new instance
by Camila Granella 17 Nov '22

17 Nov '22

Hello everyone, This is a friendly reminder of CentOS CI changes' current status and upcoming action items (check [0]) in addition to a quick update on our new OpenShift instance. According to our previous communications [0], we are approaching the last phase of the changes that have been implemented to CentOS CI. We are currently closing phase 2, which began in October. In December, we will move to *phase 3*: *Phase 3 - Decommission* - Legacy/compatibility API deprecated and requests (even for EC2 instances) will no longer be accepted - All tenants that opted in will be using only EC2 for aarch64/x86_64 and on-premise cloud for ppc64le For a full description of the project phases, you can check [0]. Currently, our Infra & Releng team is working to deploy our new OpenShift instance (AWS) in production after some improvements that have been done in staging. When OpenShift gets fully set up, the team will work to migrate the Pagure project. This will then be documented and passed on to you (users) as a guide in order to *facilitate the workload migration that is expected to be done on your side*. We are expecting this to be completed by the end of the year. We will be sharing further information on this at the beginning of Q1CY2023. A reasonable timeline will be provided so that you have enough bandwidth to work on the migration of your workloads. Please, feel free to reach out to us in case you have any questions or concerns. Regards, [0] [ci-users] Changes on CentOS CI and next steps: https://lists.centos .org/pipermail/ci-users/2022-June/004547.html -- Camila Granella Associate Manager, Software Engineering Red Hat <https://www.redhat.com/> @Red Hat <https://twitter.com/redhat> Red Hat <https://www.linkedin.com/company/red-hat> Red Hat <https://www.facebook.com/RedHatInc> <https://www.redhat.com/>

Register a FOSDEM Pentabarf account[1] and sign in. 2. Visit the FOSDEM CFP[2] and click "Create Event". 3.
