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

  • Got all our power9 boxes rebooted and vm’s setup for better nested virt
  • koji upgraded to 1.32.0
  • Netapp volume for Fedora Koji is getting full, the archive script failed, manually trying to move something in short term
  • rpmautospec updated on all builders
  • Pushed initial IMA certs to fedora-repos, but needs some more adjustment
  • Fixed bodhi bug, causing signing to get stuck

CentOS Infra including CentOS CI

  • Resolved the ODCS fire in CentOS Stream

Release Engineering

  • Fedora Linux 38 in in freeze, f38-updates-testing is now live
  • FTBFS bugzillas filled, but late so we are missing logs from the tasks adding this to the schedule tracker might helps us avoid this in the future https://pagure.io/fedora-pgm/schedule/issue/111

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

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

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

  • More message schemas have been modified to conform to the new Fedora Messaging requirements
  • Admin interface (in review)
  • Cache reading rules from DB

Community Design

Goal of this initiative

CPE has few members that are working as part of Community Design Team. This team is working on anything related to design in Fedora Community.
