ConfigManagement SIG : removal of old/unmaintained ansible versions
by Fabian Arrotin 02 Feb '21

02 Feb '21

Notification: So far, the ConfigManagement SIG rebuilt and shipped some Ansible versions through different repos (per "branch") over the last months/years , so we currently still have on mirror.centos.org (and so external mirrors) the following repositories : For CentOS 7: - ansible 2.6 - ansible 2.7 - ansible 2.8 - ansible 2.9 For CentOS 8 (also working on 8-stream) : - ansible 2.9 Per Ansible EOL policy (see https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/reference_appendices/release_and_mai…) we'll continue to maintain 2.8 (security fixes if they appear) and 2.9 but we'll remove previous versions/repositories. Worth knowing that they'd still be available through vault.centos.org though, but not available directly through a centos-release-ansible*.rpm (configuring yum/dnf repositories on systems) So far I never had a chance/time to look at ansible 2.10, as there is a split between ansible-base and ansible-core and then collections. My goal would be to discuss with EPEL/Fedora maintainer (Kevin Fenzi) about the best way to have it working and then we can start (re)building through configmanagement tags on https://cbs.centos.org Kind Regards, -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 17F3B7A1 | twitter: @arrfab

CentOS Stream 8 kernel
by Gena Makhomed 01 Feb '21

01 Feb '21

Hello All, I found regression in the CentOS Stream 8 kernels, and create bug report https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1913806 After reading https://wiki.centos.org/Contribute/CentOSStream I try to download kernel sources and look for root cause of bug, but dist-git and source-git repos does not contain kernel sources, even if I try to execute %prep phase. For this reason I can't even try to find root cause of this bug by myself. This bug is critical for me, because currently I try to use systemd-nspawn for containers virtualization in production. If future CentOS 8.4 will contain this bug - it will be disaster. What else I can do (as user or developer) for fixing this bug? P.S. https://centos.org/distro-faq/ Q5: Does this mean that CentOS Stream is the RHEL BETA test platform now? A: No. CentOS Stream will be getting fixes and features ahead of RHEL. Generally speaking we expect CentOS Stream to have fewer bugs and more runtime features as it moves forward in time but always giving direct indication of what is going into a RHEL release ================================== But currently I hit the bug, which is absent in CentOS 8.3 but present in CentOS Stream 8. Looks like CentOS Stream 8 is really the beta version for future RHEL minor release, despite the CentOS FAQ. Sorry, but this is true. -- Best regards, Gena

resigning from config management sig
by Julien Pivotto 01 Feb '21

01 Feb '21

Dear community, I was enthusiastic about building a config management SIG a few years back, but never really had the time to make it to the point where it should be. Partly because the complexity of config management tooling is huge, and partly because I did not estimate properly the amount of time to learn the tooling around CBS. Today, I resign from the SIG to refocus my work on other open source projects. The SIG, as a group, is inactive. Volunteers still actively use the CBS build targets and produce artefacts, including ansible and ara. If anyone want to step up and take the lead of the SIG, they should probably contact the board. Regards, Julien Pivotto

SIGs need to designate a "sponsor" (Re: Upcoming authentication changes)
by Rich Bowen 29 Jan '21

29 Jan '21

Hopefully you have seen Fabian's email earlier today with details about the upcoming changes to the authentication system. If you participate in a SIG, we need for you to identify someone who is the SIG lead, who will manage (the term FreeIPA uses here is "sponsor") the authentication (ie, SIG membership) for your particular SIG. For SIGs that don't speak up, we'll be using the information that's on your SIG wiki page, but I'm pretty sure that a lot of those are incorrect, and I'll be reaching out to some of you individually. Meanwhile, if you can update that information, we'll save everyone some time. Thanks.

CentOS related article at The Register
by redbaronbrowser 27 Jan '21

27 Jan '21

The Register has an article about CentOS: https://www.theregister.com/2021/01/26/killing_centos/ My best guess is the title and how the quotes form the interview was framed in the article wasn't what Red Hat expected. Maybe the reader should be taken with a grain of salt. I am posting it here for a number of reasons: First, my guess is the majority of members of centos-devel mailing list have already seen the article or would have seen it regardless of if I posted the link to it here. Second, I think it would be good to give someone from Red Hat a chance to respond to if there is inaccuracies in how the article characterizes things. Third, is this how we expect governance of Stream to work moving forward?
