17 Oct '20

Hi Everyone, Below is this week's CPE weekly for week ending 2020-10-17. Im gone a little bi-weekly lately with this report. This has been more circumstantial with our quarter 3 projects ending and launching quarter 4 work, and will get back to a weekly report now that Q4 is underway. So, the updates for both Fedora & CentOS are below, and if you want to visit the hackmd link https://hackmd.io/8iV7PilARSG68Tqv8CzKOQ?view you can then use the header bar on your left to skip to Fedora or CentOS updates that interest you. ## General Project Updates We have a CPE Q3 Achievements blog out on the Fedora and CentOS websites https://blog.centos.org/2020/10/cpe-q3-achievements-2020/ https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/cpe-achievements-during-q3-2020/ And below are the projects the CPE team are working on for the months of October, November & December: * CentOS Stream Phase 4 - Build system services * Noggin Phase 4 - Data Migration of Fedora & CentOS Accounts, Community testing * OSBS for aarch64 - this will begin in November * Fedora Messaging Schemas - this work is continuing from Q3 and is being worked on part-time ### Misc #### GitLab There is now a blog post out on the Fedora community blog on the AMA, you can read it here https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/gitlab-ama-follow-up/ Im going to be sending one mail per week to the CentOS and Fedora devel lists on Fridays, dedicated to one topic. The first topic will be Permission and Access in GitLab. I will pull the questions and answers from the hackmd doc into an email body to try to facilitate dedicated discussion around this topic. I would like to just set expectations now that I don't consider myself to be technical enough to weigh in on the discussion, but I am looking forward to reading and learning from the conversation. ## Project Updates *The below updates are pulled directly from our CPE team call we have every week.* ## Fedora ### General * Go NoGo meeting was on 15th Oct. F33 was No GO and new date is moved to 2020-10-27 ### Staging Environment * Working on getting OpenQA moved over * Adding boxes to CentOS to test IPA ### Noggin * After the team reviewed the work still left to do to be able to deploy a robust and secure solution, we discovered that there is more development work to do and we are now working towards a release date of January 29th 2021. * Accounts & data will remain secure in the current solution until we can cut over, we have established a monitoring plan to derisk this extended time the team needs to complete their work. * The team are working on completing a full staging environment to deploy Noggin in right now and will hope to have this in place in the next few weeks * We also have some members of CentOS working in this team now to help with the work required for the migration of the CentOS accounts and data to Noggin * 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 worked on on a part time basis as we are prioritizing completing Noggin first before fully committing to its completion * 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 ## CentOS Updates ### CentOS * New CI admin added - mobrien, welcome! * Plumbing for duffy being worked on currently and will be deploying to staging in the coming weeks ### CentOS Stream * Looking at ODCS services in the build system * Also working on deploying mbbox operator to the system too * centos-stream-release package is also out, go check it out! ## Team Info ### CPE Product Owner Office Hours IRC office hours are now once per month.Below are the logs from the most recent meetings and dates for the next ones. #### #fedora-meeting-1 * Log from 2020-10-15 meeting: * Next Meeting: 2020-11-12 @ 1300 UTC on #fedora-meeting-1 #### #centos-meeting * Log from 2020-10-13 meeting: * Next Meeting: 2020-11-10 @ 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.

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!

Module version differences between RHEL8 and Centos8?
by Antal Nemeš 08 Oct '20

08 Oct '20

Is there any way to correlate modular package versions in RHEL8.x with ones from Centos8.x in any way, no matter how difficult? For example, looking at package list for https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2020:3714: - RedHat lists httpd-2.4.37-21.module+el8.2.0+5008+cca404a3.x86_64.rpm - in CentOS this (probably?) matches httpd-0:2.4.37-21.module_el8.2.0+494+1df74eae.x86_64 AFAIK, the non-modular packages shared the same NEVRA between RHEL and Centos (not sure if there were exceptions, though). Thanks, Antal

[unscheduled outage] hardware issue impacting CI services (including https://ci.centos.org)
by Fabian Arrotin 04 Oct '20

04 Oct '20

Yesterday (Saturday) evening we got zabbix notifications that some nodes in CI environment were unreachable. After a quick look, I discovered that it was an embedded network switch in a chassis hosting multiple nodes (including but not limited to jenkins node behind ci.centos.org) that went nuts. I tried a remote "hardware reset" and nodes were back online after ~10min. But this morning (sunday), I see through zabbix that same issue happened again, and in the hour after I already did the "hardware reset", but this time, even that doesn't work anymore. So that means that we have a network switch not working anymore. As that chassis (like almost *all* equipment in CI) *isn't* under warranty, we'll see on monday what can be done and how we give priority to try to dispatch services elsewhere (and that probably means then powering down other services , depending on priority that will be given), but it's easy to understand that we can't even give any ETA at this point.

unable to create an account on bugs.centos.org due to captcha
by Chris Brannon 23 Sep '20

23 Sep '20

Hi, I've been trying to create an account on https://bugs.centos.org. I'm blind, but all I find is a visual captcha. From inspection of the HTML source for the signup page, it appears that there might be an audio captcha implemented in flash, but I don't have flash on any of my devices. I went and grabbed a copy of the mantisbt source code, to get an idea of what it was doing and to determine whether I had any other options. Mantis uses a bundled third-party library to generate those captchas. In the source tree, it's vendor/dapphp/securimage. In the latest version, at least, that library will generate an HTML 5 <audio> tag by default, with a fallback to flash. The <audio> would work just fine for me. I don't know what version of Mantis BT bugs.centos.org is running, and that's why I'm writing here. Is there any chance of an upgrade / patch to fix my issue? Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help. -- Chris

[Infra] - Planned outage : cbs.centos.org
by Fabian Arrotin 22 Sep '20

22 Sep '20

Due to a hardware replacement, we'll have to move the existing CentOS Community Build System (aka https://cbs.centos.org) to a new node. Migration is scheduled for """"Tuesday September 22nd, 6:00 am UTC time"""". You can convert to local time with $(date -d '2020-09-22 06:00 UTC') The expected "downtime" is estimated to ~30 minutes , time needed to backup/restore last postgresql dump , verify service and switch public IP to new host. Thanks for your comprehending and patience. on behalf of the Infra team, -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 17F3B7A1 | twitter: @arrfab
