The CentOS Security Response Team
by Karanbir Singh 24 May '14

24 May '14

Hi, As SIG's come up and move forward - we are going to need to have a better established, documented and process driven security response team. While we can, in a pinch, reach into and request some resources from the RedHat SRT, they are in no way bound to help or even be involved in the overall CentOS Ecosystem - and we should really setup our own group to handle these requests. In the past conversations we had thought of setting up a group of maybe 3 to 5 people, who can triage and communicate with the respective groups of people responsible for the code or infra in question. This would not only include centos resources, but also be the contact point for upstream security notices from projects associated with us. In this case, they would be the people managing security(a)centos.org - with that email address being the primary contact for projects in the SIG's upstream as well. We would also then setup a private security mailing list. thoughts ? comments ? feedback ? -- Karanbir Singh, Project Lead, The CentOS Project +44-207-0999389 | http://www.centos.org/ | twitter.com/CentOS GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

Storage SIG Update
by Patrick McGarry 23 May '14

23 May '14

Hey all, Since things have been on the back burner a bit since the Inktank acquisition I wanted to refresh what's going on in the world of the Storage SIG. KB, Lala, and I met yesterday to discuss current status and as it turns out things are actually still moving along. Ultimately we have 3 major goals for the near-term: 1) Collect srpms for Ceph/Gluster to populate CentOS repo (complete) 2) Ensure Ceph/Gluster are installable from a single repo 3) Ensure Storage distro work w/ virt Ideally we would like to expand the storage considerations beyond Ceph/Gluster, so if anyone has storage tech that they would like to heap on to the pile we definitely want to make sure we're enabling as many things as possible. Perhaps the xtreemFS or mooseFS guys would care to participate? At the very least it would be good to get a non-red-hat member into the storage mix now. If anyone has questions or concerns please let me know. Once we have a workable setup I'll push that out again for some actual consumption. Thanks. Best Regards, Patrick McGarry Director, Community || Inktank http://ceph.com || http://inktank.com @scuttlemonkey || @ceph || @inktank

The Branding Hunt. Ed. 7
by Karanbir Singh 23 May '14

23 May '14

Well, we havent really done this seven times before, but given its targetting CentOS Seven it feels apt to mark it ed.7 Over the next couple of days, we are going to have the git repos populated with the rhel7beta and then rhel7rc content and we need to boostrap the larger branding hunt. Comments, ideas and process recommendations on how we might run this are now welcome. Also, people interested in helping run the effort please make yourself known now!

Creating a CentOS-only package
by Darryl L. Pierce 21 May '14

21 May '14

In Fedora and EPEL we have the qpid-cpp package (which I spoke about in an email last week) for all supported version of Fedora and for EL7 (can't do EL5/6 for the reasons mentioned in that previous email). This week we discussed the idea of providing CentOS specific packages, starting with CentOS 7. In RHEL we have product packages, this would be something separate from what we would be doing as a product. What would be the process for doing something like this? -- Darryl L.

moving t_functional and other repos from gitorious to git.c.o
by Karanbir Singh 20 May '14

20 May '14

Hi, given that we have our own git infra in place now, I propose moving the upstream t_functional setup ( and other repos we have there ) from gitorious.org to git.centos.org will that work for everyone ? Also, some of the docs on the wiki and in the git repo itself will need updating. - KB -- Karanbir Singh, Project Lead, The CentOS Project +44-207-0999389 | http://www.centos.org/ | twitter.com/CentOS GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

Centos kernel upgrade
by Mark Fisher 13 May '14

13 May '14

Is it possible to run a Centos 6.5's kernel on a Centos 5.10 installation? I have compiled a new kernel from kernel-2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.src.rpm. The kernel does not even boot on my Centos 5.10 box. Vanilla kernels from kernel.org work well. Is this about Red Hat kernel patches? Cheers, Mark

Official docker images and updates
by Jim Perrin 12 May '14

12 May '14

To consolidate the docker effort moving around the -devel list [1][2], I've been talking with the docker folks about taking over the 'official' CentOS images they have in place, and transferring the responsibility to the cloud sig. Currently Chris StPierre and Adam Miller have been helping to do the work and get us in contact with the right people. As it stands right now, the docker folks use stackbrew[3] to generate their images, jam the resulting image tarball into git, and submit a pull request when updates are required. As long as the image can be imported into docker, they don't seem to have a problem with the way we're currently[4] doing things The recent openssl bug has gotten them a bit more hurried to transition the responsibility back to us. Immediate requirements: - An updated docker image, built from the most recent updates so that the openssl fix is in place. Short term requirements: - A brief description of the centos image, with url for more information - Wiki page documenting the basics of the docker image, how it's created, and how to use it. Long term requirements: - Update plan for for keeping the docker image updated, along with 'emergency roll-out plan' for critical updates. - established policy for docker and other cloud images. Thoughts?

Providing newer versions of packages from base CentOS/RHEL
by Darryl L. Pierce 12 May '14

12 May '14

Here's the back story: Base RHEL 6 has Qpid 0.14, which is a very old release. Our team wants to make a more recent version, 0.26, available for projects such as Open Stack. They are adopting CentOS as a platform and would like to use 0.26, which includes AMQP 1.0 support. We can't package 0.26 for EPEL6 due to 0.14 being in the base. So it was suggested to me in IRC to come here and ask for guidance. We would like to make our newer packages available for CentOS 6. What's the right path to follow? -- Darryl L.
