Code of Conduct
by Rich Bowen 19 Apr '21

19 Apr '21

You may have seen, a few days ago, that the Fedora project announced[1] a new Code of Conduct for their community. What you may not have known is that the CentOS project was involved in the crafting of that Code, so that we could also use it here. Yeah, I know, this is something we should have done a long time ago. But, you know what they say about the best time to plant a tree. (The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second best time is today.) As we continue to work to make all aspects of the CentOS Project more open and transparent, it is important that we create an open, welcoming community where all people, from all backgrounds, feel safe in their participation. This allows for a broader contributor pool, with more ideas and more community ownership of the resulting outcomes. And it's just the right thing to do. It is our intent to take the text of the Fedora CoC, and replace 'Fedora' with 'CentOS' everywhere, and propose it here. There will, of course, be other small changes to the text (Board vs Council, and so on) but not to the details of the Code itself, and how we intend to address reports. We're holding off on those edits so that our version doesn't drift from theirs, during their 2 week comment period. (Ends April 26th.) The document is derived from the Contributor Covenant, along with work that has been ongoing in the Fedora project for some time. Note also that the Contributor Covenant is also the source material for the CoC used by the Linux kernel project.[2] To that end, we encourage you to engage in the discussion around the Fedora CoC, because any changes made there will influence what we end up with here. And we also encourage discussion on centos-devel[3], for anything that you feel is specific to our community. --Rich, on behalf of the CentOS Board of Directors [1] https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/policy-proposal-new-code-of-conduct/ [2] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?… [3] https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-devel

How do I request a new package repo in CentOS 8/9 Stream?
by Connor Kuehl 19 Apr '21

19 Apr '21

Hello, I recently packaged a utility in Fedora 34[1] that enterprise cloud users might find helpful so I'd like to package it for CentOS 8 Stream and CentOS 9 Stream as well. I've been following the CentOS Stream Contributing wiki page[2] to figure out how to get started with this. However, it seems like all of these instructions are only relevant if the package that someone would want to contribute to already has its own repo in the dist-git. I've made some good progress on the CentOS 8 Stream package already, and I'm used to the Fedora process where this is about the time that I'd post it for review soon as part of the authorization process for getting a new repo in the dist-git. Is there a CentOS equivalent to the Fedora package review process for getting a repo created? Thank you, Connor [1] https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/rust-sevctl [2] https://wiki.centos.org/Contribute/CentOSStream

Advanced Virtualiazion builds for ppc64le and aarch64 missing on Stream
by Sandro Bonazzola 14 Apr '21

14 Apr '21

Hi, while verifying https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/ovirt-release/+/114299/ noticed we are missing Advanced Virtualization builds for aarch64 and ppc64le on CentOS Stream. I guess it's similar to what happened with ovirt 4.4 and tracked here: https://pagure.io/centos-infra/issue/254 Eduardo can you follow up on this and ensure we have ppc64le and aarch64 packages there? -- 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.

CentOS Stream Feature Request SIG Proposal
by Aoife Moloney 14 Apr '21

14 Apr '21

Hi everyone, I would like to share with you all a proposal I have submitted on creating a SIG dedicated to reviewing and triaging feature requests that come from CentOS Stream development intended for future RHEL releases. The full proposal can be read on the CentOS wiki [0] and an issue has been opened on the CentOS board tracker [1] for review and decision. Here is the proposal summary and I welcome any thoughts, feedback and discussion: Purpose The purpose of this SIG will be to serve as a gate for feature requests that are first developed in CentOS Stream from contributors who wish to request these features to be included in future RHEL releases and are then filed in bugzilla. The SIGs overall goal is to make sure that features which have been filed and have technical merit are triaged internally to the correct venue for further review and development. The SIG will take ownership of regular bugzilla reviews filed under Stream and map feature requests from these bugzillas against the formal RHEL Feature Request criteria to identify and file qualifying requests inside Red Hat to achieve this. I hope you all have a lovely weekend! Kindest regards, Aoife, [0] - https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/StreamFeatureRequest [1] - https://git.centos.org/centos/board/issue/33 -- Aoife Moloney Product Owner Community Platform Engineering Team Red Hat EMEA Communications House Cork Road Waterford

yum module info squid
by Markus Falb 13 Apr '21

13 Apr '21

Hi, There are 2 versions of squid module available for CentOS 8 http://mirror.centos.org/centos-8/8.3.2011/AppStream/x86_64/os/Packages/ squid-4.4-8.module_el8.3.0+623+2bb85980.2.x86_64.rpm squid-4.11-3.module_el8.3.0+558+7bf80f5f.x86_64.rpm But the output of yum module info does not give corresponding information [root@127162ed7c15 /]# yum module info squid Last metadata expiration check: 0:00:12 ago on Tue Apr 13 18:15:31 2021. Name : squid Stream : 4 [d][a] Version : 8030020201223011621 Context : 30b713e6 Architecture : x86_64 Profiles : common [d] Default profiles : common Repo : appstream Summary : Squid - Optimising Web Delivery Description : an initial version of the squid caching proxy module Requires : platform:[el8] Artifacts : libecap-0:1.0.1-2.module_el8.3.0+395+6cb406eb.src : libecap-0:1.0.1-2.module_el8.3.0+395+6cb406eb.x86_64 : libecap-debuginfo-0:1.0.1-2.module_el8.3.0+395+6cb406eb.x86_64 : libecap-debugsource-0:1.0.1-2.module_el8.3.0+395+6cb406eb.x86_64 : libecap-devel-0:1.0.1-2.module_el8.3.0+395+6cb406eb.x86_64 : squid-7:4.4-8.module_el8.3.0+623+2bb85980.2.src : squid-7:4.4-8.module_el8.3.0+623+2bb85980.2.x86_64 : squid-debuginfo-7:4.4-8.module_el8.3.0+623+2bb85980.2.x86_64 : squid-debugsource-7:4.4-8.module_el8.3.0+623+2bb85980.2.x86_64 One thing is, I would have expected both versions of squid listed. But CentOS repodata seems to generally list one version of the module? The other thing is that squid 4.4-8 has a modification date 2020-12-23 02:14, while squid 4.11-3 dates from 2020-11-04 02:43. The newer package is older, so only the older package is made available? kind regards, markus

Help Clair Support CentOS
by Louis DeLosSantos 12 Apr '21

12 Apr '21

Hello, My name is Louis and I'm the core maintainer of Clar: https://github.com/quay/clair Clair is a project for scanning containers for vulnerabilities. We'd like to support CentOS but we need a little help in the form of information gathering. For Clair to properly support a distribution we typically require it to have an official upstream vulnerability database. For example, RHEL has their own Oval 2 feeds as does Ubuntu, Suse, etc... What we are trying to determine is how we can extract packages from CentOS containers and match against known vulnerabilities. We have the first half worked out already, we have generic RPM database scanners which extract package names and versions. The second half is where we need some more information. A few questions: * Does CentOS maintain its own security database for packages in its downstream repositories ? * If not, can we reliably treat any CentOS packages (name, versions) identical to the way we treat RHEL packages. (For instance if we find package A with version B can we attempt to match this against RHEL's Oval v2 stream?) * Can you provide any information on package naming, versioning, and packaging that creates a difference between RHEL packages and CentOS? Thank you for your time, I look forward to hearing back.

screen CVE-2021-26937 for x86_64
by Ben 09 Apr '21

09 Apr '21

Hello, The screen package that fixes the recent CVE-2021-26937 (https://vault.centos.org/7.9.2009/updates/Source/SPackages/screen-4.1.0-0.2…) has been built and populated for all altarches, but does not exist in x86_64. This build for x86_64 appears to have slipped through the cracks? I've raised https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=18147 to track this issue. Cheers, Ben

CentOS Stream 9 web browser default page
by Alain Reguera Delgado 08 Apr '21

08 Apr '21

Rich, everyone! I've been re-designing the web browser's default page and am wondering what content you think it should have in order to be great? I would like to make a collaborative effort of it and am looking for the correct way to do it in our community. This is a welcome page. The first we'll see when the web browser is opened. It also would be visible in the screenshot section the wiki has on the front page (following Akemi's tradition here :) https://gitlab.com/areguera/centos-indexhtml Best regards, -- Alain Reguera Delgado <alain.reguera(a)gmail.com>
