CentOS Linux updates released (RSS Feeds)
by Johnny Hughes 21 Sep '20

21 Sep '20

As you may or may not know, we do not have the ability to currently announce CentOS Linux 8 announcements on the CentOS Annonuce Mailing List. We would like to add this in the future. For now, what we do have is an RSS feed for all updates that get released. Use your favorite RSS Feed Tool (I use Thunderbird .. lots of other things available). https://feeds.centos.org/ Subscribe to the xml file you are interested in .. for example, for normal CentOS Linux 8 x86_64 arch installs .. you would subscribe to: https://feeds.centos.org/centos-8-x86_64-BaseOS.xml https://feeds.centos.org/centos-8-x86_64-AppStream.xml This is for people who have asked about what rpms are updated and how to see when new updates happen on CentOS Linux 8. But it works for all versions of CentOS (There are xml files for all repos of CentOS Linxui 6. 7, and 8 .. Also CentOS Stream). Thanks, Johnny Hughes

CPE Weekly: 2020-09-20
by Aoife Moloney 21 Sep '20

21 Sep '20

Hi Everyone, Below is this week's CPE weekly for week ending 2020-09-20. I found that if you want to skip to the hackmd, you can use the view link https://hackmd.io/8iV7PilARSG68Tqv8CzKOQ?view and then use the header bar on your left to skip to either the Fedora or CentOS updates, whichever interest you. I'll also be adjusting these updates in the coming weeks to make them a bit more direct to consume. Thanks for giving me this feedback in the CPE survey, I want to deliver value to you all, so it's great to KNOW what you find valuable first hand :) # CPE Weekly: 2020-08-14 ## General Project Updates As a reminder, below are the projects the CPE team are working on for the months of July, August & September: * Data Centre Move - Final Works * CentOS Stream Phase 3 * Noggin Phase 3 * Packager Workflow Healthcare * Fedora Messaging Schemas We have recently held our Q4 planning session and the CPE review team, Fedora, CentOS and RHEL BU have voted the following projects for action in Q4, which is the months of October November & December: * OSBS for aarch64 * Fedora-messaging schemas We are continuing to work on CentOS Stream and Noggin and took these projects as confirmed when looking at what other work our team could realistically complete in the Q4 period, given that there's both Thanksgiving and Christmas time off to consider, plus any time off our team wishes to take. The taiga cards of Noggin, CentOS Stream, OSBS for aarch64 and fedora-messaging schemas will be updated next week with what our team hopes to deliver in the next quarter on each of the projects. Our project board is here (it's just not updated properly - yet) https://tree.taiga.io/project/amoloney1-cpe-team-projects/kanban?epic=null ### Misc #### GitLab Thank you so much to everyone for adding your questions to the doc for the GitLab AMA session on Thursday 10th September, and for your attendance on the day during the call. Here is the full AMA transcript https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting-1/2020-09-10/ama_session_w… however it is a bit confusing to read so we got a few great suggestions to have dedicted topics like Message Bus and Branching, etc go out to the devel lists to discuss. I'm happy to start this next week, but I will collect the questions related to each topic and propose a cadence to send them out first to discuss, so people dont miss mails and know the week ending 2nd October will be (for example) the topic of Group Permissions - What do you think? GitLab have also agreed to answer the questions, we have asked them to do so within 2 weeks of the AMA so as soon as this is complete I will let you know so you can read through them on the hackmd link. The link is here where we asked you to contribute your questions and I will be posting answers once we have them underneath https://hackmd.io/RW8HahOeR7OJPON1dwuo3w I really appreciate your involvement with this as we begin to dig deeper into how this might play out next year and what way it should for everyone's benefit. ## Project Updates *The below updates are pulled directly from our CPE team call we have every week.* ## CentOS Updates ### CentOS * Deployed new 4.5.9 openshift cluster for Stream * The team provisioned EC2 infra for team responsible for registry.centos.org (we don’t maintain it, so just providing infra, like Fedora does for Copr) * They also migrated a bunch of nodes to the new Ansible CI inventory ### CentOS Stream * Using Openshift cluster for engineering work and will be using it to deploy & test mbbox in our infra * Scoping and refining work for October November & December ## Fedora ### General * 6 of 8 Beta-blockers have fixes for F33 beta * New release of fedscm_admin * FMW mac and windows binaries are signed ### Staging Environment * About 70% done installing vm’s (27 left out of 88) * Still need to bring up aarch64/armv7/ppc64le builders * Databases need syncing ### AAA Replacement * The team are working on testing Ipsilon in Staging and adding OpenID Connect Capability * they are also testing fas2ipa migration script in tiny-stage and improve it * Add Noggin to tiny-stage environment and test * The teams kanban board where they track their work can be found here https://github.com/orgs/fedora-infra/projects/6 ### Fedora Messaging Schemas * This project is on hold until Noggin completes. * It will be resumed around December timeframe and is part of our Q4 workload to complete * There is a list of applications that require messaging schemas can be found here https://hackmd.io/@nilsph/H1i8CAbkP/edit * There is a readme which contains documentation on messaging schemas, a cookie-cutter template to create the schema and a definition of Done for writing a schemas https://github.com/fedora-infra/fedora-messaging-schemas-issues * The board they are working from can be viewed here https://github.com/orgs/fedora-infra/projects/7 ### Packager Workflow Healthcare * The team have been working on more improvements and fixes to the monitor-gating * These improvements have led to * Finding a bug in our testing script * Improved log messages * We actually caught a problem! :) * The data the team have been reviewing have been from April - July and have already discovered that so far it looks like Pagure, koji and bodhi work well * We see some intermittent problems, but nothing too big, mostly only spikes in runtime * Fedora CI still looks like a POC, but functional * Our test-script hitting timeouts/failing 10% of the time * Gating (greenwave/resultsdb/waiverdb) looks functional, but relies on CI and doesn't have as much packages going through the workflow * A more formal report will be published soon as part of the project deliverable so keep an eye on their work! * The teams work is being tracked here https://teams.fedoraproject.org/project/cpe-cicd/kanban ## Team Info ### Changes to CPE Product Owner Office Hours Following the feedback received in the CPE survey, I will be reducing my IRC office hours to once per month. #### #fedora-meeting-1 * Next Meeting: 2020-10-15 @ 1300 UTC on #fedora-meeting-1 #### #centos-meeting * Next Meeting: 2020-10-13 @ 1500 UTC on #centos-meeting ## Background: The Community Platform Engineering group, or CPE for short, is the Red Hat team combining IT and release engineering from Fedora and CentOS. Our goal is to keep core servers and services running and maintained, build releases, and other strategic tasks that need more dedicated time than volunteers can give. See our wiki page here for more information:https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/cpe/ As always, feedback is welcome, and we will continue to look at ways to improve the delivery and readability of this weekly report. Have a great week!

I did my best to contain relevance above. First question, the statement ""...Resilient Storage is not base...". There has been a shift from 7 to 8 that I don't understand. RHEL 7 provides dlm in ResilientStorage, then CentOS 7 provides dlm in base [1]. The dlm package is still part of ResilientStorage in RHEL 8, but can't be provided? I wasn't able to find any answer to why that was changed. Can you provide any insight to the shift? Second question, the current advice seems to be "dlm will be in centos-stream and you should use that." However, tdawson made a pretty explicit statement: "If people are running their production machines on CentOS Stream ... well, in my opinion, that's their problem."[2] These statements appear contradictory. Just trying to piece this all together so I can explain to my peers the business and community decisions going on here. Currently someone that set up a cluster with gfs2 in 7 can't do the same thing in 8 due to the dlm package missing. That is a loss of functionality and seems to indicate it's a bug or intentional reduction in feature set. If I'm misunderstanding any of this please educate me. Thank you, Judd [1] http://mirror.centos.org/centos-7/7/os/x86_64/Packages/dlm-4.0.7-1.el7.x86_… [2] https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2020-July/037034.html

Infrastructure SIG
by Rich Bowen 14 Sep '20

14 Sep '20

In yesterday's board meeting, the board discussed and approved the creation of an Infrastructure SIG. There are some details here - https://blog.centos.org/2020/09/board-approves-creation-of-infrastructure-s… - but much still needs to be figured out. The main goal here is to move some operational things out of the Board's purview, and into a working group that can move more quickly, and delegate more broadly, while still being under board oversight. Aoife Moloney, who you may know from her weekly "CPE Weekly" mailings, has taken the initial role of SIG Chair for that group, which doesn't mean that she's doing all the work or making all the decisions, but, rather, that she's kind of a project manager for the group. As the last paragraph of the blog post says: "We welcome participation and comment from anyone with the skills or interest to be helpful, particularly if you are already administering any of the infrastructure that the CentOS project relies on." This is not an attempt to take any work away from those already doing it, rather to create a group where that work can be coordinated and tracked, so that the board knows what's going on, without having to have their hands directly in the process.

Virt SIG release rpms not landing in extras
by Sandro Bonazzola 14 Sep '20

14 Sep '20

Hi, On Thursday, September 2nd hughesjr built a couple of VIrt SIG release rpms. Transcript from IRC: (16:42:34) *hughesjr:* https://koji.mbox.centos.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=165776 ; https://koji.mbox.centos.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=165843 (16:43:09) *hughesjr:* I'll get those in the next compose .. likely later today or tomorrow morning at the latest I guess the build missed a compose on Thursday and I know CentOS is not releasing on Fridays so I expected it to land on Monday September 7th. As of today the packages are not yet in extras repo, is there any problem in the release process or in the built rpms? Anything I can help with? 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. Therefore there is no need to answer this email out of your office hours.*

repo_gpgcheck for centos repos?
by Leon Fauster 10 Sep '20

10 Sep '20

Hi, I wonder if it would be not beneficial enabling repo_gpgcheck for all centos repos? A short cross check shows that also SIG repos have repomd.xml signed. mirror.centos.org has no TLS enabled and repo_gpgcheck would add an additional security layer per default? This could be started for EL8? Or are there any barries? -- Thanks Leon
