[REPORT] Automotive SIG
by Jeffrey Osier-Mixon 10 Jan '22

10 Jan '22

January 2022 Quarterly report submitted by: Jefro Osier-Mixon, Red Hat - acting chair _____________________________________ Membership update (members added, removed. Chair changes.) This SIG does not have a formal membership process. The mailing list currently has 77 subscribers representing at least yy companies. I have been asked to act as chair for the first few months in order to stabilize the SIG. _____________________________________ Releases in the most recent quarter (or most recent release, if none in that quarter) The SIG is not yet creating builds or publishing releases, but we are very close to doing so at this point; see the report below. _____________________________________ Health report and general activity narrative. The SIG has had two public meetings per month, one formal and one informal "office hours", each with 25-40 attendees representing 7-10 separate organizations. We feel this is a good start at corporate community diversity but will continue to work toward a community-driven project. This SIG is intended to be a community effort with contributions and shared benefits from all participants. Several RH employees made the first contribution to the project as well as the infrastructure required to build and test it. We now occupy a gitlab repository building software regularly, with build instructions provided, and we are on track for a downloadable release in Q1 2022. This is a high-level summary of current activity from our technical lead: - The work keeps on going at: https://gitlab.com/redhat/automotive/automotive-sig - We have created manifests in that repository that can be used with OSBuild to create a number of images. - We currently support: - qemu and raspberry pi - x86_64 and aarch64, - ostree-based (default) and non-ostree-based - booting via uefi of by-passing it and booting directly the kernel - We then have 3 images - minimal - osbuilder (containing the tools allowing to build images with osbuild) - neptune (demo image with a graphical interface running the demo app: neptune) - The OSBuild manifests have been streamed-line and simplified a lot. If you have not look at them in a while have a look ! - We have also added a mechanism to easily build images from within a virtual machine, which makes it easier to build images without root privileges. - The VM created for the step just above (^) can also be migrated to a different system, thus allowing to build more easily in a different architecture. - Instructions on how to build images have also been greatly simplified The doc at: https://sigs.centos.org/automotive/building/ is up to date - We have a kernel-auto package based on the CentOS-Stream package and with the Real-Time patches included - We have a few koji tags set-up for the SIG, the kernel-auto is the main beneficiary of them (with a couple of other RT related packages) - We are working on automatically building some of our sample images and making them available. A few of them can be found at: https://pingou.fedorapeople.org/images/ but this is a temporary location and they are now over a month old. - We have been sending weekly updates to the SIG mailing list on a regular cadence and will try to continue doing it. _____________________________________ Issues for the board to address, if any None, keep up the excellent work :) Jeffrey "Jefro" Osier-Mixon | jefro(a)redhat.com Red Hat Office of the CTO | Sr. Principal Community Architect, Automotive

Final reminder: CFP for February Dojo
by Rich Bowen 07 Jan '22

07 Jan '22

This is your final reminder: The CFP for the February CentOS Dojo - https://wiki.centos.org/Events/Dojo/FOSDEM2022 - will close on January 9th. Note that, as of right now, we only have enough content for one day, and presumably if this doesn't change between now and then we'll drop Thursday and just have a one-day event on Friday. --Rich

minimal CentOS 8 or 9 stream container images
by Ken Dreyer 05 Jan '22

05 Jan '22

Is there a 8stream-minimal or 9stream-minimal image that uses microdnf? We're searching for a smaller base image for the Ceph project, and we'd like to use an image similar to https://catalog.redhat.com/software/containers/ubi8/ubi-minimal/5c359a62bed… , but the ubi8 repos don't have all the packages we need. Maybe we could use the Stream 8 .repo files with ubi8-minimal as a workaround? But what should we do for el9? - Ken

CentOS Linux 8 and SIGs content removal plan (please read)
by Fabian Arrotin 04 Jan '22

04 Jan '22

As you’re all aware, and per https://www.centos.org/centos-linux-eol/ , CentOS Linux 8 is going EOL end of this month, and content will just remain available on mirror network until January 31st. After that date, CentOS Linux 8 repositories will be removed from mirror network, and mirrorlist will start answering “invalid release”, so no way to easily install any rpm component. But what about SIGs content that was built for/against CentOS Linux 8 ? (basically other repositories that you can see under http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8/ but that aren’t coming from centos linux 8 distro itself ? As soon as CentOS Stream 8 was announced, we offered the possibility to all SIGs to opt-in and build for/against Stream 8, and so have their repositories automatically pushed to http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8-stream , as it was for /8/ . Most of the SIGs opted at that time to build in parallel for 8 and 8-stream, while some decided to just start building against/for 8-stream directly (and of course content built on 8-stream *should* just work fine, and reverse is also true) But some months ago, community members asked (https://pagure.io/centos-infra/issue/400) if that was possible to continue building against/for el8, but so switching buildroot from centos 8 to RHEL 8, which was worked on and is now available. What does that mean for you, SIGs ? If you want (opt-in and so optional) continue to build for el8, just create a ticket on https://pagure.io/centos-infra/issues to ask your tags to build against RHEL 8 instead of CentOS Linux 8. You can do that whenever you want but before (for obvious reasons) end of January 2022 What if you don’t opt-in ? You SIG content will removed from mirror network, at the same time as CentOS Linux 8 content. So to recap : * End of january, *all* repositories listed under http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8/ will be removed (except for SIGs that opted-in for the ‘switch to RHEL 8 buildroot’ plan) * mirrorlist.centos.org will also start answering ‘invalid repo’ for SIG content, as it will be for CentOS Linux 8 itself * All SIGs tags for 8 will be locked down (except for SIGs that opted-in for the ‘switch to RHEL 8 buildroot’ plan) so no way to just tag-build (and so push anything) out -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 17F3B7A1 | twitter: @arrfab

Moving SIG Guide to a new home
by Fabian Arrotin 30 Dec '21

30 Dec '21

Hi all, For some time we thought about moving the existing SIGGuide from the wiki (https://wiki.centos.org/SIGGuide) to a new place and have more collaboration from SIG[s] members to enhance/update/clarify the SIG guide. That's the reason why we had an infra ticket to track this (https://pagure.io/centos-infra/issue/543) Content was added to the specific git repo (https://git.centos.org/centos/sig-guide) and it's automatically rendered and available under https://sigs.centos.org/guide/ We'd like to get some feedback and we'll then just modify the wiki page to point to the new page. We'll also review and merge/accept PR against that doc, so it's also *yours* and shared between all SIGs :-) -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 17F3B7A1 | twitter: @arrfab

CPE to staff EPEL work
by Rich Bowen 17 Dec '21

17 Dec '21

We are pleased to announce that Red Hat is establishing a small team directly responsible for participating in EPEL activities. Their job isn't to displace the EPEL community, but rather to support it full-time. We expect many beneficial effects, among those better EPEL readiness for a RHEL major release. The EPEL team will be part of the wider Community Platform Engineering group, or CPE for short. As a reminder, CPE is the Red Hat team combining IT and release engineering from Fedora and CentOS. Right now we are staffing up the team and expect to see us begin this work from October 2021. Keep an eye on the EPEL mailing list[1] and the associated tracker as we begin this exciting journey with the EPEL community.

CentOS Stream 8 : samba-4.15.2-2.el8
by Johnny Hughes 16 Dec '21

16 Dec '21

There is an issue with CentOS Stream 8 and the currently published samba-4.15.2-2.el8. I am working on a compose that removes that build from the repo. In the interim, if you need to perform an update before i get the new compose released .. place this: exclude=*4.15.2-2.el8* in your CentOS-Stream-AppStream.repo and CentOS-Stream-BaseOS.repo. I should have this fixed within in the next couple of hours. Thanks, Johnny Hughes
