Board Nominations Requested
by Rich Bowen 29 Nov '21

29 Nov '21

** Please do read the message before responding with your nominations. We have a process, and if you don’t follow the process, it makes everything harder for everyone. Nominations go to a Google Form, and NOT to this list. Read on for more details. ** As per our governance docs - https://www.centos.org/about/governance/board/ and https://git.centos.org/centos/board/blob/master/f/directors/cohorts specifically - this is notification that we’re looking for nominations for directors to replace those departing at the end of this term. Every six months, half our our directors are asked if they wish to continue in their seats. That question has been asked, and we are awaiting the responses. Meanwhile, as you no doubt know, long-time director KB Singh has indicated that he will not be remaining for another term. To this end, we come to you, the CentOS Community, for nominations for who should fill those seats. Please submit your nominations to this form: https://forms.gle/G7mytxgHRpcYEC4ZA Please DO NOT send them to this list. There’s a few reasons for this: * Our governance indicates that the Board selects the next Board. We do not have any defined notion of project “membership” or a voting class of any kind, other than the Board itself. We do not wish to give any false impression that a public vote will be held on this list. * We do not wish for this to devolve into a bikeshed over proposed names. * We do not wish for individuals named to assume that they have any particular advantage over other nominees, nor do we wish for anyone to be shamed, embarrassed, or disappointed, if they are named and then not seated on the Board. The Board will collect those nominations, consider them at an upcoming meeting, and select the next Board at that time. We ask, if you wish to nominate someone, to consider the list of director requirements/recommendations listed at https://www.centos.org/about/governance/director-requirements/ It may also be wise to ask the individual if they are willing/able to serve. Thank you for your participation in this important moment in our project’s history. Rich, for the CentOS Board of Directors

RHEL docs in CentOS Stream
by Shaun McCance 27 Nov '21

27 Nov '21

The Content Services team inside Red Hat is working on upstreaming its RHEL documentation to CentOS Stream. This is going to take quite a lot of work, so it will be a gradual process. The team could use help in prioritizing which docs to do first. There are over 60 titles, and I won't bore you with the list, but they cover installation, upgrades, administration, containers, security, networking, identity management, storage, and virtualization, among other things. Some of them involve integrations with other Red Hat products, but those products are all built from community projects. I think I'd like to ask a single open-ended question, and then we'll figure out how that maps to existing docs. So: What features or procedures do you wish were better documented in CentOS? Thanks, Shaun McCance Community Architect Red Hat Open Source Program Office

Building oVirt Node and oVirt Engine Appliance on CentOS Infrastructure
by Sandro Bonazzola 25 Nov '21

25 Nov '21

Hi, we are now trying to build oVirt stable release content on https://cbs.centos.org/ and ship it to users via CentOS Virtualization SIG repos. Most of the packages are building fine (except ovirt-engine which still need some work, currently tracked on https://pagure.io/centos-infra/issue/527 ) The two most challenging builds are the oVirt Node and oVirt Engine Appliance which on oVirt jenkins are requiring lorax and imagefactory, running virt-install in nested virtualization. This seems to not be working in copr build flow and I expect it to not work on cbs. How can we build an OVA and an ISO within centos infrastructure for shipping it as part of the Virtualization SIG? I know there's https://ci.centos.org/ which may probably be able to do the same task we are running on jenkins.ovirt.org but I guess there's a more "standard" way to do it in CentOS infra. Thanks, -- Sandro Bonazzola MANAGER, SOFTWARE ENGINEERING, EMEA R&D RHV Red Hat EMEA <https://www.redhat.com/> sbonazzo(a)redhat.com <https://www.redhat.com/> *Red Hat respects your work life balance.

KDE Plasma Desktop in EPEL 8 has been updated
by Troy Dawson 24 Nov '21

24 Nov '21

RHEL 8.5 updated qt5 from 5.12 to 5.15. This allowed us to update the KDE Plasma Desktop in epel 8 to the latest version, per the update schedule[1]. That update is complete, tested and pushed to epel stable. ** New Versions qt5 - 5.15 (5.15.2 mainly) plasma - 5.23.3 kf5 - 5.88 ** Known Bugs - When running in Wayland (not X11), the start menu and notifications pop up in the middle of the screen instead of the side. ** Next Update - Per the update schedule[1], the KDE Plasma Desktop will remain stable in EPEL for a year. That goes for both epel8 and the upcoming epel9. Except for bugfixes, we do not expect any updates until RHEL 8.5 and RHEL 9.1. ** Packages that were not updated These packages still work, they just aren't at the latest versions. - kpmcore and kde-partitionmanager -- Newer versions of kpmcore need a newer util-linux (2.33.2) (RHEL8 has 2.32.1) -- Newer versions of kde-partitionmanager need a newer kpmcore - digikam -- Newer versions of digikam need opencv with the DNN libraries. They are not compiled on the RHEL 8 version of opencv. -- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2007780 - ktorrent and kf5-libktorrent -- Newer versions of ktorrent and kf5-libktorrent need boost 1.71.0 or higher. RHEL 8 has 1.66.0 Troy [1] - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/KDE/EPEL#Update_Schedule

MirrorManager link redirect issue
by Mike Rochefort 19 Nov '21

19 Nov '21

I just had a merge request[0] pulled into the osinfo-db project that adds CentOS Stream 9 details. This is used by tools like GNOME Boxes to discover and download ISOs as well as configure generic VM information. The MR stems from a user reporting Boxes wasn't listing Stream 9 as an available option. As part of the process I had to provide direct URLs to the Stream 9 ISOs. I would have preferred to have used the MirrorManager links, such as: https://mirrors.centos.org/mirrorlist?path=/9-stream/BaseOS/x86_64/iso/Cent… But these URLs don't redirect properly with tools like wget or curl, instead returning a list of available mirror links to download from. It works just fine in a browser, maybe I don't know the proper flags to pass to make this work as expected. Currently the base URL used is from the mirror.stream.centos.org site. Is there a way to make the MM links work, or is pointing to the CentOS mirror alright for this? [0] https://gitlab.com/libosinfo/osinfo-db/-/merge_requests/366 -- Mike Rochefort

qemu-kvm 6.1.0 with 16 PCIE root ports is broken
by Yedidyah Bar David 18 Nov '21

18 Nov '21

Hi all, I now filed [1]. Until it's sorted out, perhaps it's possible to temporarily handle this by excluding/removing the packages on the Stream repo, or something similar? This is especially problematic for oVirt users, because oVirt defaults to creating VMs with 16 such ports, thus all VMs are broken. Thanks and best regards, [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2024605 -- Didi

CentOS 7 updates not posted on centos-announce mailinglist anymore
by Gerd v. Egidy 18 Nov '21

18 Nov '21

Hi, new packages for CentOS 7 used to be posted on the centos-announce mailinglist. The last one posted was on 27th of September, but there were several updated rpms released in October and November that were not announced on the mailinglist. The mailinglist itself seems still to be working, as I got the announcement for Centos 8 2111 just fine. Could somebody responsible for the update / release process please look into this? Having the updates announced via mailinglist is very helpful if you do not have fully automatic updating activated, but do your own manual QA process before updating your servers. Thanks. Kind regards, Gerd

Re: [CentOS-devel] KDE Status in EPEL8
by Troy Dawson 16 Nov '21

16 Nov '21

KDE Plasma Desktop has been rebuilt on RHEL 8.5. The rebuilt KDE packages have been pushed to epel-testing. To test and/or use these packages do dnf --enablerepo=epel-testing update Note1: This hasn't made it out to all the mirrors yet. I don't know how long that takes, best bet it to try tomorrow. Note2: To get these into regular epel8, please give karma on their bodhi pages https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2021-8ecda13ade https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2021-233b6d1f6f https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2021-616c07a91d Note3: There are two known packages that will not install/update right now * k3b -- This requires cdrskin which will be in epel-testing tomorrow. -- https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2021-11dab2f583 * kde-gtk-config -- This package snuck in on accident. It shouldn't affect your updates. -- This requires breeze-gtk, which is still being worked on to get it to work on epel8 Troy Dawson On Thu, Nov 11, 2021 at 3:19 PM Troy Dawson <tdawson(a)redhat.com> wrote: > The qt5 libraries in RHEL 8.5 are at a higher version than they were in > RHEL 8.4. > This is causing RHEL 8 machines that have the KDE Plasma Desktop unable to > do an update due to qt5 version dependencies. > > A rebuild of the KDE Plasma Desktop in EPEL8 is currently underway. > It usually takes 3-4 days for all the packages to be rebuilt, as long as > the builders co-operate. > We expect the packages to be in epel8-testing by Monday, November 15. > > Thank you for your patience. > Troy Dawson > >
