Issue with updating on altarch repos
by Lance Albertson 19 May '22

19 May '22

The recent update to grub2 seems to be causing a dependency issue on our systems using the centos-altarch repos (i.e. at least aarch64/ppc64le). The RPM file exists on our mirror and in the XML for repodata, but I don't think it's in the sqlite file. Perhaps a bad update happened when generating the repo data? I've tried re-syncing the mirror several times to make sure we have up to date content. Here's what we're seeing (which is also breaking new installations): Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction

CentOS Stream 8 and 9 - KDE un-updateable for a week
by Troy Dawson 13 May '22

13 May '22

During the past week qt5 was updated on CentOS Stream 8 and 9 to version 5.15.3. This caused updates to break for KDE users running CentOS Stream 8 and 9. The epel 8 and 9 packages affected are being rebuilt at this time. We expect everything rebuilt and through testing next week. Question: Does this affect my RHEL/Alma/Rocky 8/9 install? Answer: Not at this time. This qt5 update isn't going to be released until RHEL 8.7 and 9.1. Question: What is being rebuilt? Answer: epel8 - We believe about 30 packages. That includes all of the qt5 packages in epel8, as well as several plasma and kf5 packages that have tight version dependencies on qt5. epel9 - The entire KDE Plasma Desktop stack. (about 380 packages). There recently has been an update to wayland-protocols in Stream 9. It didn't break anything, but it had been an update that was needed to update to the latest kf5 and plasma releases. Since we knew that the qt5 update was coming, we held off rebuilding everything until qt5 came out. Now that it is out, we are updating everything. Troy Dawson

CPE Weekly Update – Week 19 2022
by Michal Konecny 13 May '22

13 May '22

Hi everyone, This is a weekly report from the CPE (Community Platform Engineering) Team. If you have any questions or feedback, please respond to this report or contact us on #redhat-cpe channel on libera.chat (https://libera.chat/) Week: 09th May - 13th May 2022 If you wish to read this in form of a blog post, check the post on Fedora community blog: https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/cpe-weekly-update---week-19-2022/ # Highlights of the week ## Infrastructure & Release Engineering Goal of this Initiative ----------------------- Purpose of this team is to take care of day to day business regarding CentOS and Fedora Infrastructure and Fedora release engineering work. It’s responsible for services running in Fedora and CentOS infrastructure and preparing things for the new Fedora release (mirrors, mass branching, new namespaces etc.). The ARC (which is a subset of the team) investigates possible initiatives that CPE might take on. Link to planning board: https://zlopez.fedorapeople.org/I&R-2022-05-11.pdf Update ------ ### Fedora Infra * F34/F35 container builds failing due to 32bit arm ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2077680 ) * git -core change broke koji. Downgraded git and upstream koji already has a fix. * Got a FMW macos build fully signed and notarized! Unfortunately, now need to find out how to build it to be able to run on older macos. ;( * Fedora 36 release went pretty smoothly, we are now out of Freeze * Business as usual, misc tickets, etc. ### CentOS Infra including CentOS CI * CentOS Stream storage migration spike (Netapp for nfs/iscsi) * Duffy fixes and tests * Investigating hardware issue on CI pool * Investigating ci.centos.org decommission steps * Git.centos.org pagure upgrade/migration (blocked, waiting on internal Red Hat Team) * Updated sshd host key signing (sha1 issue for el9 ssh clients) * Bussiness as usual (mirrors, tags) ### Release Engineering * F36 is out * Firmware win binaries signed * Bussiness as usual - stalled epel packages, package unretirements ## CentOS Stream Goal of this Initiative ----------------------- This initiative is working on CentOS Stream/Emerging RHEL to make this new distribution a reality. The goal of this initiative is to prepare the ecosystem for the new CentOS Stream. Updates ------- * Finished the RPM import for c8s to Stream Koji * Business as usual otherwise ## CentOS Duffy CI Goal of this Initiative ----------------------- Duffy is a system within CentOS CI Infra which allows tenants to provision and access bare metal resources of multiple architectures for the purposes of CI testing. We need to add the ability to checkout VMs in CentOS CI in Duffy. We have OpenNebula hypervisor available, and have started developing playbooks which can be used to create VMs using the OpenNebula API, but due to the current state of how Duffy is deployed, we are blocked with new dev work to add the VM checkout functionality. Updates ------- * More deployment tests * Per tenant session lifetimes * Some bug fixes ## Package Automation (Packit Service) Goal of this initiative ----------------------- Automate RPM packaging of infra apps/packages Updates ------- * The team is hitting lots of dependency and sub dependency issues, working through them but its slow * fasjson-client is our first package to be fully automated * upstream release -> src.fp.o PR -> koji -> bodhi * Thanks to Nils, Aurelien and Kevin for their help/advice * fedora-messaging, datagrepper, fasjson currently being worked on (all have deps issues) * spec files will be staying downstream, packit has a way to facilitate this ## Flask-oidc: oauth2client replacement Goal of this initiative ----------------------- Flask-oidc is a library used across the Fedora infrastructure and is the client for ipsilon for its authentication. flask-oidc uses oauth2client. This library is now deprecated and no longer maintained. This will need to be replaced with authlib. Updates: -------- * Setup dev environment (Work In Progress!) * Starting to implement flask-oidc api using authlib. ## EPEL Goal of this initiative ----------------------- Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (or EPEL) is a Fedora Special Interest Group that creates, maintains, and manages a high quality set of additional packages for Enterprise Linux, including, but not limited to, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), CentOS and Scientific Linux (SL), Oracle Linux (OL). EPEL packages are usually based on their Fedora counterparts and will never conflict with or replace packages in the base Enterprise Linux distributions. EPEL uses much of the same infrastructure as Fedora, including buildsystem, bugzilla instance, updates manager, mirror manager and more. Updates ------- * epel9 up to 2568 source packages (increase of 113 from last week). * Added rhel+epel-9 mock configs to mock-core-configs. * Updated slurm in epel7 and epel8 to fix CVE-2022-29500 and CVE-2022-29501. * Retired swtpm and libtpms from epel8 because they were added to RHEL8.6. * Added python-texttable to epel9 to allow c8s maintainers (Johnny) to run c9s as a workstation. * Added missing devel packages for cogl, clutter, and clutter-gtk to epel9 to unblock other epel9 requests. Kindest regards, CPE Team

Decommissioning of CentOS Stream 8 source-git branches
by Tomas Tomecek 13 May '22

13 May '22

Hello, we would like to announce our plan to decommission and remove the c8s branches of the CentOS Stream source-git repositories. This also means the removal of any repository from the gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/src namespace which is left without a branch. Stream 9 content will not be affected. As you might remember, these are the source-git repositories produced by unpacking the c8s branches from CentOS Stream 8 dist-git, and making the resulting content available at gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/src. We took a look at the utilization of this content during 2021, based on the GitLab data and found out that no one from the community has used these repositories to contribute to CentOS Stream 8. The only exception is the kernel repository [1], we will keep that one up. Please let us know if you find these repositories useful or are part of your routine. Our focus for the future is to deliver a consistent source-git workflow for Fedora and CentOS Stream under the umbrella of Fedora source-git SIG [2].

[call for feedback/testers] : pagure upgrade on git.stg.centos.org (and future git.centos.org migration)
by Fabian Arrotin 09 May '22

09 May '22

Hi all, Some time ago, we created in our backlog this ticket (https://pagure.io/centos-infra/issue/456) to start investigating migrating to newer pagure version that would bring some features for SIGs, etc (see other tickets/RFEs linked on the ticket 456 for an overview) We finally had the time to work on the needed changes for our ansible role for pagure and so test migrating from pagure 5.8 on CentOS 7 to pagure 5.13 on RHEL8. We have just migrated today our staging instance, aka https://git.stg.centos.org. We don't know when we'll migrate git.centos.org (production instance) as we have first to validate with Red Hat team in charge of pushing all RHEL sources to git.centos.org that it still works fine for them on the staging instance (internal ticket) This mail is more about feedback from you, SIGs members, if you want to also verify that git.stg.centos.org is working fine. Some important things to consider though: - git.stg.centos.org is using stg authentication, so accounts.stg.centos.org, which is *not* in sync with production so different users/passwords, etc - ssh host keys changed and while we could have imported previous host keys, we considered it was better to just have the new ones, but still also worth knowing that they are still signed by our CA, so trusting it would make it work directly (https://github.com/CentOS/ansible-role-sshd/blob/master/defaults/main.yml#L…) - it's a RHEL8 host, so if you were still using ssh-dsa keys, they'd be refused (as it's the case on el8 hosts since the beginning) How to give feedback ? on this thread or on the mentioned ticket on centos-infra tracker. Once it will have been verified, we'll announce the migration for git.centos.org Kind Regards, -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 17F3B7A1 | twitter: @arrfab

packaging DPDK 21.11 in RPM in CentOS 7 (elftools not found)
by Stefan Puiu 06 May '22

06 May '22

Hi, I've already asked this on the dpdk-users list (https://mails.dpdk.org/archives/users/2022-April/006395.html) without getting any answer, so I thought maybe I'd also try centos-devel, since this is a CentOS and dpdk question. We're using a CentOS 7 based distro that is obviously RPM-based, and we package the DPDK with it, in order to run on some of our x86-64 hardware boards. Now, we currently have DPDK 20.11 in our image and are looking to upgrade to 21.11, and I'm hitting a build error about elftools not being found: Program python3 found: YES (/usr/bin/python3) ../buildtools/meson.build:49:8: ERROR: Problem encountered: missing python module: elftools The fix seems to be to install pyelftools from pip: pip3 install pyelftools But that only works for building directly with meson / ninja. That doesn't work when building through rpmbuild. I've struggled to understand this, until I found this RedHat bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1937494. It seems Fedora changed the python3 search path so that /usr/local/lib/python is not taken into account if RPM_BUILD_ROOT is defined (see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Making_sudo_pip_safe) so basically, when building with rpmbuild, pip-installed packages are ignored. I think I can understand the rationale of the Fedora change when you want to ensure that dependencies are properly set: packages installed using pip are not recorded as RPM dependencies, and the package might break at runtime. However, as far as I can tell, pyelftools seems to be a *build-time dependency*; removing the elftools check in the meson script leads to a build failure. There's no pyelftools RPM for CentOS 7 that I could find, so I don't see another option than installing the package from pip. Also, the python change in Fedora doesn't seem to allow for any workaround. The only thing that I can think of is ugly as hell: symlink everything under /usr/local/python in /usr/lib/python for the DPDK build. I'm not even sure we need pyelftools at runtime; in our build of DPDK-20.11, dpdk-pmdinfo.py doesn't even run (because of missing pyelftools :) ). Are there any other people struggling with this? Is there any more elegant approach that I haven't thought of? Thanks, Stefan.
