This is a report created by the CLE Team, which is a team containing community members working in various Fedora groups, for example, Infrastructure, Release Engineering, Quality, etc. This team is also moving forward with some initiatives inside the Fedora project.

Week: 27 April – 01 May 2026

Fedora Infrastructure

This team is taking care of day to day business regarding Fedora Infrastructure.
It’s responsible for services running in Fedora infrastructure.
Ticket tracker

  • Put risc-v Koji behind anubis and tightened its robots.txt to mitigate a scraper flood
  • Somehow managed to keep the lights on with Kevin on PTO, teamwork win!
  • Status.fpo webpage does not pickup status changes merged into status github repo
  • Signing problem with the latest rawhide kernels
  • vmhost-x86-copr04 rebooting

CentOS Infra including CentOS CI

This team is taking care of day to day business regarding CentOS Infrastructure and CentOS Stream Infrastructure.
It’s responsible for services running in CentOS Infratrusture and CentOS Stream.
CentOS ticket tracker
CentOS Stream ticket tracker

  • ELNBuildSync is unable to connect to Fedora Messaging
  • Add GenericCloud images tests on testing.stream.centos.org
  • Please add ogajduse to ocp-cico-foreman
  • Fix openshift underlying issue (investigate) and upgrade
  • Replace sigs.centos.org infra with el10 host
  • Modernize centos mirror network CDN
  • Create an “ansible-init” tool or container

Release Engineering

This team is taking care of day to day business regarding Fedora releases.
It’s responsible for releases, retirement process of packages and package builds.
Ticket tracker

  • Release of Fedora 44 and torrents.
  • Automation works for Mass Branching Bits.
  • Unretirement workflow is now being processed from the fedpkg command; I found one bit to solve, which is being worked on.
  • Samyak is trying to solve the dependency checker, which didn’t account for alternative providers and rich dependencies. 

RISC-V

This is the summary of the work done regarding the RISC-V architecture in Fedora.

  • F44 rebuild update (community work): 60% of rebuild is done so far. (This is expected as we’re with reduced Koji builders for a little while.)
  • LLVM related debugging (this is slow-grind work)
    • Started a local rebase of my Fedora LLVM patches in my fork. I still have to test it on P550 and submit for review. The builds are time-consuming; it’ll be a background task over the week.
    • Resumed debugging ‘libomp’ test suite failures. Setup an environment on DP1000.
  • Explored what it takes to create a shadow Koji instance for RISC-V that tracks Rawhide. DavidA already tried several years ago and had to drop it due to deep-sync issues; there are some workarounds to deal with it today. (Half-baked ideas: we could write an updated koji-shadow but it’s time-intensive. Experiment with a local copy, we don’t want to mess with the active RISC-V Koji instance. (Also needs a capable “volunteer” with time to try this out.)
  • Investigated and ordered an eGPU (external GPU) docks; last time I looked the one we needed was out of stock. Luckily one came back in stock. This dock helps us drive Tenstorrent’s AI accelerator card.

QE

This team is taking care of quality of Fedora. Maintaining CI, organizing test days
and keeping an eye on overall quality of Fedora releases.

Forgejo

This team is working on introduction of https://forge.fedoraproject.org to Fedora
and migration of repositories from pagure.io.

  • Foundational private issues frontend codebase implementation.
  • Had a discussion on the collaboration strategy for the private issues
  • Private Issues, Web UI: Push the foundational private issues frontend codebase implementation.
  • Made some headway in the private issues dependencies implementation [Ticket]
  • Spent a lot of Claude credits while brainstorming, nay, CUDA-storming what-if conditions
  • Aarch64 runner successfully tested on staging (running on an AWS arm64 VM)
  • New Forge Runner automation successfully deployed to production (and fixing discrepancy between openshift staging and production volume snapshots)
  • Work towards getting the runnerhostvm enrolled in zabbix.

EPEL

This team is working on keeping Epel running and helping package things.

  • presented RPM packaging workshop and staffed booth at LinuxFest Northwest
  • routine packaging work, including CVE fixes in forgejo-runner, glow, and vhs packages

UX
