Dear all,
I'm pleased to announce that the Kmods SIG released the first bunch of
packages. These packages have previously been available in testing
repositories. To ease access and extend visibility these have now been
released.
Note about Secure Boot:
All kernel modules are currently NOT signed by a private key, i.e. you
need to disable Secure Boot to be able to use these kernel modules.
Instructions how to enable the Kmods SIG repositories can be found here:
https://sigs.centos.org/kmods/repositories/
The documentation [1] is still WIP but already provides some useful
information. E.g. lists of currently available packages for Enterprise
Linux 8 and Stream 8.
Thanks and best regards,
Peter (on behalf of the CentOS Kmods SIG)

Hi Folks,
With CentOS Stream 9 we are publishing SIG content separately from OS
content to make things easier to deliver
(http://mirror.stream.centos.org/9-stream/ vs.
http://mirror.stream.centos.org/SIGs/) Everything under the 9-stream
directory corresponds to a repository in RHEL and repo files are
included by default in centos-stream-repos at install time.
Currently (in CentOS Linux) SIGs build their own repo files into
centos-release-<sig> packages and ask for their release in CentOS
Extras. We also ship things like epel-release and elrepo-release in
Extras. I'd like to continue this in Stream 9 but make things a little
bit easier for SIGs to self-manage their repo packages.
Proposal:
- Extras will continue but as a SIG repository, including the
appropriate tags in CBS, and a separate gpg key
- Extras, beginning with Stream 9, will not contain any other content
besides repo packages
- Extras will be the only SIG repo included in centos-stream repos (to
allow folks to dnf install other repo packages)
- Each SIG leader (or a designate) will be an ex-officio member of the
group, allowed to tag centos-release-<sig> packages in for publishing
- Other repositories (like EPEL) may also have a member designated to
manage its release package
If this is something SIG leaders are interested in, I will take a
formal proposal to the board for sponsorship. Any comments?

Hello,
I've noticed that various checksums in
https://composes.stream.centos.org/production/latest-CentOS-Stream/compose/…
differ from the actual files (which actually causes issues with repository
synchronization via pulp)…

Is this known issue? If not, where would one report it if not on this
mailing list?
Thanks in advance,

On behalf of the CentOS Board of Directors, and the whole CentOS
community, I want to thank KB for his years of service as project leader
and chair of the board. KB has shaped the project for almost 2 decades,
and has made the world a better place by his work over the years.
KB, it's been a privilege to work with you for the past few years. Thank
you for your trust and respect as I've become part of that story. I wish

Hi folks,
We were using "centos:8" as a base for upstream Ceph images
(https://quay.io/repository/ceph/ceph)
ubi8's /etc/yum.repos.d/ubi.repo does not have all the packages we
need, so we're considering switching to quay.io/centos/centos:stream8
as our new base image for Ceph upstream to keep the base images
current.
I'm posting this to the centos list to see if there are engineering
concerns about which we should be aware.

Hi.
fiddling with Stream 9 - is this a fluke or intentional,
-> $ systemd-cryptenroll --tpm2-device=list
TPM2 not supported on this build.
and why if the latter , would anybody know?
many thanks, L.
We used to have a "plus" repository for CentOS 7 and 8, that contained
packages from OS, but rebuilt differently.
Most known examples in CentOS 8 plus repository are the kernel-plus and
thunderbird (with openpgp support).
As CentOS 8 is going EOL end of this year, and that some us still need
to rely on that specific thunderbird package, we agreed to just use the
SIG process for the plus repository, instead of having such packages
being built through the distro builders.
So if you're already on CentOS Stream 8 , you can just install (like for
other SIGs) a specific package containing both the .repo file *and*
needed gpg key used to sign the packages.
How to enable/use it ? :
sudo dnf install centos-release-plus -y
As stated in /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Stream-Plus.repo, you can now
enable it (remember that it can overwrite base packages, reason why we
also ship it as disabled)
sudo dnf config-manager --enable centos-stream-plus
You can now install pkg from it, like thunderbird :
sudo dnf install thunderbird
Tip: if you want to just use some pkgs from one specific repo, you can
also just use excludepkgs/includepkgs statements in your .repo
configuration (see
https://dnf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/conf_ref.html#options-for-both-main-an…)

Just noticed thunderbird 91.2.0-1.el8.plus is not available in the "plus" repo for CentOS 8. It does exist for CentOS 7.
The plus release keeps encrypted email functional in the new 91.x ESR release by not removing a library RHEL doesn't want to ship/support. If there are other workarounds/things to install to make the non-plus version work, I would appreciate the info. Thanks!
Hello,
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/)

# 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.
Updates
-------
### Fedora Infra
* Freeze breaks: added regions to aws fedimg uploads and fixed a caching
issue with upgrade json
* Rebooted: proxy34 and bvmhost-x86-07
* Tried to fix move of wiki talk pages, ended up creating PR to disable all
talk pages.
* At 66 tickets, but many should be closable after freeze
### CentOS Infra including CentOS CI
* Kicked some migration for tenants on legacy cluster (nfs-ganesha)
* Rebased cico-workspace container to 8-stream (staging) (Ref
https://quay.io/repository/centosci/cico-workspace/build/b197513b-0105-4774…
)
* Pushed some new ciphers in prod through ansible role to get A+ cert on
Qualys (Ref
https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=git.centos.org&hideResults=on
)
* Mirrormanager tuning with Adrian for 9-stream inside CI infra (Ref
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mirrormanager/host/2751)
* Added/announced aarch64 as covered architecture for CI infra tenants
### Release Engineering
* F35 RC-1.2 is out and can be found at
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/35_RC-1.2/
* Business as usual
## 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
-------
* Basic Stream/RHEL Buildroot reporting is in place, thanks James!
* Open discussion on pruning older packages from what we publish to the
mirrors
* Open discussion on the impact of consolidating the Stream 8 and Stream 9
workflows for maintainers
* Business as usual
## 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
-------
* Set up a boilerplate with a skeleton application
* Set up the CI in the repository with tests and coverage
* Created a CLI for configuring parameters
* Discussed workflows and methods for implementing models
## FCOS OpenShift migration
Goal of this Initiative
-----------------------
Move current Fedora CoreOS pipeline from the centos-ci OCP4 cluster to the
newly deployed fedora infra OCP4 cluster.
Updates
-------
* Obtaining access on the cluster
* Creating playbook to create OpenShift resources
* Got the cluster updated and ready
