# Highlights of the week

## Infrastructure & Release Engineering
Goal of this Initiative
-----------------------
Purpose of this team is to take care of day to day business regarding
CentOS and Fedora Infrastructure and Fedora release engineering work.
It’s responsible for services running in Fedora and CentOS infrastructure
and preparing things for the new Fedora release (mirrors, mass branching,
new namespaces etc.).
The ARC (which is a subset of the team) investigates possible initiatives
that CPE might take on.

Update
------

### Fedora Infra
* Some great nest talks and discussions, check them out on replay!
* Debugging instability in 32bit arm builders again. ;(
* Rebalanced the s390x builders.
* Business as usual



### CentOS Infra including CentOS CI
* koji/cbs.centos.org upgrade complete
* Kick off for Stream infra handover to I&R
* Adapted ansible baseline role to include workaround for Rsync issue on
CentOS Stream 8
* Enabled RHEL9 Buildroots on cbs/koji for SIGs


### Release Engineering
* Mass branching yesterday (f37 split off rawhide, which is now f38)



## CentOS Stream
Goal of this Initiative
-----------------------
This initiative is working on CentOS Stream/Emerging RHEL to make this new
distribution a reality. The goal of this initiative is to prepare the
ecosystem for the new CentOS Stream.

Updates
-------
* Git source moved from git.centos.org to gitlab, for c8s modules.



## EPEL
Goal of this initiative
-----------------------
Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (or EPEL) is a Fedora Special Interest
Group that creates, maintains, and manages a high quality set of additional
packages for Enterprise Linux, including, but not limited to, Red Hat
Enterprise Linux (RHEL), CentOS and Scientific Linux (SL), Oracle Linux
(OL).

EPEL packages are usually based on their Fedora counterparts and will never
conflict with or replace packages in the base Enterprise Linux
distributions. EPEL uses much of the same infrastructure as Fedora,
including buildsystem, bugzilla instance, updates manager, mirror manager
and more.

Updates
-------
* EPEL9 is up to 7233 (+106) packages from 3207 (+27) source packages
* “State of EPEL” presentation at Nest conference, recording will be posted
to YouTube at a later date
* EPEL Survey has launched and is available through the end of August
https://tinyurl.com/epelsurvey2022
* epel-release has been improved with a recommends on
dnf-command(config-manager) to ensure crb enabling script can work out of
the box
* KDE Plasma updated from 5.23 to 5.24 (LTS release) in epel8-next and
epel9-next



## FMN replacement
Goal of this initiative
-----------------------
FMN (Fedora-Messaging-Notification) is a web application allowing users to
create filters on messages sent to (currently) fedmsg and forward these as
notifications on to email or IRC.
The goal of the initiative is mainly to add fedora-messaging schemas,
create a new UI for a better user experience and create a new service to
triage incoming messages to reduce the current message delivery lag
problem. Community will profit from speedier notifications based on own
preferences (IRC, Matrix, Email), unified fedora project to one message
service and human-readable results in Datagrepper.
Also, CPE tech debt will be significantly reduced by dropping the
maintenance of fedmsg altogether.

Updates
-------
* Unit tests/coverage tests on frontend (Vue.js)
* Auth/OIDC work on both frontend and backend
* Initial backend connection via SQLAlchemy/fastAPI
* Basic functionality of connecting to FASJSON
* CI improvements and fixes


Kindest regards,
CPE Team
