This is a weekly report from the CPE (Community Platform Engineering)
Team. If you have any questions or feedback, please respond to this
report or contact us on #redhat-cpe channel on libera.chat
(https://libera.chat/).
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.
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.
The datanommer and datagrepper stacks are currently relying on fedmsg which
we want to deprecate.
These two applications need to be ported off fedmsg to fedora-messaging.
As these applications are ‘old-timers’ in the fedora infrastructure, we would
also like to look at optimizing the database or potentially redesigning it to
better suit the current infrastructure needs.
For a phase two, we would like to focus on a DB overhaul.
Duffy is a system within CentOS CI Infra which allows tenants to provision and
access bare metal resources of multiple architectures for the purposes of
CI testing.
We need to add the ability to checkout VMs in CentOS CI in Duffy. We have
OpenNebula hypervisor available, and have started developing playbooks which
can be used to create VMs using the OpenNebula API, but due to the current state
of how Duffy is deployed, we are blocked with new dev work to add the
VM checkout functionality.
Move current Fedora CoreOS pipeline from the centos-ci OCP4 cluster to the newly
deployed fedora infra OCP4 cluster.
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.
Kindest regards,
CPE Team
Some time ago I was thinking if it’s possible to rebase my ostree system from one to another and how difficult this is. After some thinking I decided to try it by rebasing Fedora 35 Silverblue on my gaming machine to Fedora 35 Kinoite. In this post I will write what I did and what difficulties I had along the road.
DISCLAIMER: This is not something that is supported by the Fedora KDE SIG so do it at your own risk.
