Hello, not a Centos topic perse, but since many had concerns about 'regular' Centos going away, and "Centos Stream" replacing it. This is what I read today, might have been around longer though, don't know.

ConfigManagement SIG : removal of old/unmaintained ansible versions (Fabian Arrotin) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Tue, 2 Feb 2021 13:48:17 +0100 From: Fabian Arrotin <arrfab(a)centos.org> To: "The CentOS developers mailing list." <centos-devel(a)centos.org>, centos-announce(a)centos.org Subject: [CentOS-announce] ConfigManagement SIG : removal of old/unmaintained ansible versions Message-ID: <d5ca00f8-6ae8-de4d-45ac-750d4b60f247(a)centos.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 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 ------------------------------ Subject: Digest Footer _______________________________________________ CentOS-announce mailing list CentOS-announce(a)centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-announce ------------------------------ End of CentOS-announce Digest, Vol 191, Issue 1 ***********************************************

grub2-mkconfig with custom kernel
by Jerry Geis 02 Feb '21

02 Feb '21

Hi - I am running CentOS 7 I tried to add a custom initrd and custom vmlinux when I run grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg the custom files are not listed . when I reboot my entry for /etc/grub.d/40_custom is not listed either. How do I get grub2-mkconfig to recognize my entries ? Is grub2-mkconfig only looking at installed kernels - How do I get it to see mine? Thanks Jerry

Amazon Alexa on CentOS 7 - how?
by Frank Bures 02 Feb '21

02 Feb '21

Hi, I am looking for an app for CentOS that would enable me to control my Alexa compatible devices from my KDE desktop. Currently, I have to use an iPad for that. I found an app called Alexa installable via snap, but it had not been updated since 2017 and I could not find any detailed info about it. Is there an app out there that would allow me to do this? Thanks Frank -- <listfrank1(a)gmail.com>

Hi guys. How to tell grub/kernel to ignore, skip either all or a specific block device which is luks-ecrypted - would anybody know? I have a box (kvm) which had a "secondary" luks-encrypted disk which now is detached and Centos just hangs @boot waiting for that disk. many thanks, L.
