    Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) is a yum repository of community

    Shaun McCance 31af06
          maintained packages for use on CentOS Stream and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL).
    Shaun McCance 31af06
          In EPEL 9, package maintainers were able to build against CentOS Stream 9 early
    Shaun McCance 31af06
          to have packages ready before the RHEL 9.0 launch. For EPEL 10, the EPEL Steering
    Shaun McCance 31af06
          Committee is planning on expanding that strategy to all minor versions of RHEL 10.

    Shaun McCance 31af06
          so far.

    AlmaLinux: How we automated testing without inventing the wheel and instead improving it

    Shaun McCance 31af06
        

    Elkhan Mammadli

    Shaun McCance 31af06
        

    As the AlmaLinux OS Foundation, we take the testing seriously while pioneering

    Shaun McCance 31af06
          on the speed of the delivery. When you have multiple major versions with the
    Shaun McCance 31af06
          support of multiple architecutes, testing of a GNU/Linux distribution can be
    Shaun McCance 31af06
          exhausting. One of the phase on our journey of testing was the automation. We
    Shaun McCance 31af06
          will talk about the openQA and Testinfra as the technologies choice of us, the
    Shaun McCance 31af06
          challenges we faced while adopting them and how we handled them with contributing
    Shaun McCance 31af06
          back to upstream and Enterprise Linux ecosystem.

    Briging the Gap: Packit automation for CentOS and upstream projects

    Shaun McCance 31af06
        

    František Lachman

    Shaun McCance 31af06
        

    Are you a package maintainer striving for a seamless integration with upstream

    Shaun McCance 31af06
          projects? Are you an upstream project developer aiming to ensure your software
    Shaun McCance 31af06
          functions flawlessly on CentOS Stream? Look no further – Packit is your solution!

    Shaun McCance 31af06
        

    Since the beginning of CentOS Stream, Packit has allowed developers to execute

    Shaun McCance 31af06
          CentOS Stream RPM builds directly from their upstream changes. But that's just
    Shaun McCance 31af06
          the beginning – delve into the possibilities of running tmt-based tests on a
    Shaun McCance 31af06
          pristine virtual machine with the newly-built RPMs installed. This approach
    Shaun McCance 31af06
          enables you to identify and address potential issues as they are introduced
    Shaun McCance 31af06
          to the codebase, ensuring robust and reliable software when the new code
    Shaun McCance 31af06
          reaches the user.

    Shaun McCance 31af06
        

    More and more projects are using Packit to automatically synchronise upstream

    Shaun McCance 31af06
          releases to Fedora. And we are pleased to announce that the very same is now
    Shaun McCance 31af06
          available for CentOS Stream as well!

    Shaun McCance 31af06
        

    In this talk, we will guide you through the functionalities Packit brings

    Shaun McCance 31af06
          to the table specifically tailored for CentOS Stream. Discover how you can
    Shaun McCance 31af06
          effortlessly enhance collaboration between upstream projects and CentOS
    Shaun McCance 31af06
          Stream, fostering a more efficient and reliable development process.

    It is time to gather a feedback!

    Shaun McCance 31af06
        

    CentOS Stream upstream and downstream communities rely on infrastructure bits

    Shaun McCance 31af06
          provided by FreeIPA project. Fedora uses FreeIPA since 2017, providing the shared
    Shaun McCance 31af06
          infrastructure together with the CentOS project.

    Shaun McCance 31af06
        

    FreeIPA team would like to hear a community feedback! At this session let us dive

    Shaun McCance 31af06
          into what is working and what could be improved in CentOS community's usage of
    Shaun McCance 31af06
          FreeIPA.

    Troy Dawson

    Shaun McCance 3fbe02
        

    CentOS Stream has a goal of being as open as possible. Even though it has

    Shaun McCance 3fbe02
          been around for several years, many people think it is still keeping secrets.

    Shaun McCance

    Shaun McCance 31af06
        

    Did you know we have SIGs for Promo and Docs? The Promo SIG has been recently

    Shaun McCance 31af06
          revitalized, while Docs has finally been officially recognized as a SIG. This
    Shaun McCance 31af06
          talk will showcase the work being done in both SIGs, and show you how you can
    Shaun McCance 31af06
          get involved. Spoiler: we're having a working day on Monday after FOSDEM, and

    Ansible usage in CentOS Infra

    Shaun McCance 6ce647
        

    Fabian Arrotin

    Shaun McCance 6ce647
        

    CentOS Infrastructure is heavily relying on Ansible for automation. Let's

    Shaun McCance 6ce647
          summarize how we use it, where to find the roles, describe the modular
    Shaun McCance 6ce647
          approach with multiple inventories (why and how) and how we maintain these.
    Shaun McCance 6ce647
          Also how we use ARA to browse the ansible logs/reports.

    Building And Utilizing Purpose-Built GNU/Linux Distribution Images Using Mkosi

    Shaun McCance dd9d47
        

    Akashdeep Dhar

    Shaun McCance dd9d47
        

    Mkosi is a tool in the Systemd software suite, facilitating the creation of

    Shaun McCance dd9d47
          customized distribution images for various Linux bases like Fedora, Debian,
    Shaun McCance dd9d47
          Ubuntu, Arch, Red Hat, Rocky, Alma, Gentoo, etc. It supports multiple system
    Shaun McCance dd9d47
          architectures and deployment methods, offering finer control than alternatives
    Shaun McCance dd9d47
          like Cloud-init and Ignition, using an INI-styled format for configuration.

    How SIGs can facilitate contributions to the CentOS Stream kernel

    Shaun McCance 8ff468
        

    Paolo Bonzini

    Shaun McCance 8ff468
        

    The CentOS Stream kernel receives backports for thousands of upstream

    Shaun McCance 8ff468
          commits every month. In this talk, I will show how CentOS SIGs can be
    Shaun McCance 8ff468
          used to help testing and tracking future contributions to CentOS Stream,
    Shaun McCance 8ff468
          helping to structure them into multiple merge requests for the CentOS
    Shaun McCance 8ff468
          Stream kernel project on GitLab. The content of this talk are based on
    Shaun McCance 8ff468
          the experience gained when developing a TDX-enabled kernel variant within
    Shaun McCance 8ff468
          the Virtualization SIG.

    The self-abolition of Enterprise Linux Distributions

    Shaun McCance 8ff468
        

    Dan Čermák

    Shaun McCance 8ff468
        

    Enterprise Linux Distributions have been caught in a downward spiral

    Shaun McCance 8ff468
          for the past decade. The distributions have been steadily reducing
    Shaun McCance 8ff468
          their package sets, as it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain
    Shaun McCance 8ff468
          packages in a faster moving ecosystem. This in turn renders enterprise
    Shaun McCance 8ff468
          distributions less desirable as a deployment or a development target
    Shaun McCance 8ff468
          and especially as a workstation. There is a growing realization that
    Shaun McCance 8ff468
          the current release cadence and package maintenance workflow become
    Shaun McCance 8ff468
          less suitable for the world where workloads are run as containers
    Shaun McCance 8ff468
          based on non-enterprise distributions.

    Shaun McCance 8ff468
        

    What is the way out of this? How can enterprise vendors solve the

    Shaun McCance 8ff468
          problem to remain relevant in a cloud native world? Will a more
    Shaun McCance 8ff468
          modular distribution be the solution? Or perhaps the container
    Shaun McCance 8ff468
          ecosystem, where everything is containerized, is the answer?

    Testing the CentOS Hyperscale systemd backport with mkosi

    Shaun McCance 8ff468
        

    Daan De Meyer

    Shaun McCance 8ff468
        

    The CentOS Hyperscale SIG maintains a backport of the latest systemd.

    Shaun McCance 8ff468
          This talk will discuss how we use mkosi to test this backport. mkosi is
    Shaun McCance 8ff468
          the image building sister project of systemd
    Shaun McCance 8ff468
          (https://github.com/systemd/mkosi).
    Shaun McCance 8ff468
          We'll start with a brief introduction to mkosi before moving on to discussing
    Shaun McCance 8ff468
          how we use it to test the backport. This involves locally building the systemd
    Shaun McCance 8ff468
          rpm locally from the systemd and Hyperscale systemd rpm sources within mkosi,
    Shaun McCance 8ff468
          building initrd and system images including the newly build systemd rpms and
    Shaun McCance 8ff468
          finally booting the resulting image with qemu. If there's time left, we'll
    Shaun McCance 8ff468
          also discuss the SELinux policy module we maintain for the systemd backport.

    Using PoI Tracker for Enterprise Linux preparedness and to audit your dependencies

    Shaun McCance 408a93
        

    Michel Lind

    Shaun McCance 408a93
        

    PoI Tracker is a tool intended to improve organizations' readiness to adopt

    Shaun McCance 408a93
          the next major Enterprise Linux release, and also make it easier to track the
    Shaun McCance 408a93
          packages they need - especially those community-maintained in the Extra Packages
    Shaun McCance 408a93
          for Enterprise Linux repository as well as projects such as the Hyperscale SIG
    Shaun McCance 408a93
          - and the dependency graph of these packages. This talk will cover both the
    Shaun McCance 408a93
          rationale, the development of the tool itself, and some of its use cases.

    Shaun McCance 408a93
        

    In addition, having this information about not only the leaf packages organizations

    Shaun McCance 408a93
          care about but also their dependencies, PoI tracker can be used to analyze the health
    Shaun McCance 408a93
          of these dependencies (e.g. surfacing dependencies that have major unfixed bugs, have
    Shaun McCance 408a93
          only a single maintainer) as well as their criticality (e.g. surfacing packages that
    Shaun McCance 408a93
          it turns out is used by many leaf packages) - organizations can then hopefully use
    Shaun McCance 408a93
          this information to invest resources in this (e.g. helping with packaging, contributing
    Shaun McCance 408a93
          code fixes, or funding the development)

          In this session we are going to share update about our ongoing work on
    Shaun McCance 22922c
          adopting this project for testing and deploying RDO repositories. We will
    Shaun McCance 22922c
          provide a high level overview of the architecture and concepts behind this
    Shaun McCance 22922c
          model and also share some ideas about CI usage and community-friendly way
    Shaun McCance 22922c

    Are you an RPM packager? Do you work with packages downstream? Do you

    Shaun McCance 31af06
          have experience with automation and build systems, or are you just
    Shaun McCance 31af06
          learning how to approach this world?

    Shaun McCance 31af06
        

    Whether you work with Fedora, CentOS, Enterprise solutions or other RPM

    Shaun McCance 31af06
          environments, join me to discuss the state of packaging in the domain of
    Shaun McCance 31af06
          RPM-based distributions. This will be an opportunity to connect with
    Shaun McCance 31af06
          people involved in the creation, delivery, and maintenance of packages
    Shaun McCance 31af06
          in different distributions.

    Shaun McCance 31af06
        

    Both beginners and experienced packagers will be able to introduce

    Shaun McCance 31af06
          themselves, share their experiences with different RPM systems, and
    Shaun McCance 31af06
          learn from each other. There is no set plan or schedule. Everybody is
    Shaun McCance 31af06
          welcome, and we will have an open discussion. Bring a topic or question
    Shaun McCance 31af06
          you would like to discuss and meet the people that work behind the spec
    Shaun McCance 31af06
          files.

    CentOS Integration SIG is a relatively new addition to the CentOS Special

    Shaun McCance 1ebc72
          Interest Groups family, focused on making it easier to react on updates in
    Shaun McCance 1ebc72
          the CentOS Stream and integrate third-party CI services to provide feedback
    Shaun McCance 1ebc72
          and test results on changes.

    Shaun McCance 1ebc72
        

    This is the first meetup for the group and our main goals would be to learn

    Shaun McCance 1ebc72
          about each others use-cases and brainstorm the work items.

    Shaun McCance 1ebc72
        

    The highlight of this year will be the introduction of the TMT tool to manage

    Shaun McCance 1ebc72
          CentOS compose tests, see
    Shaun McCance 1ebc72
          the MVP.
    Shaun McCance 1ebc72
          But everyone is welcome to bring new questions and ideas to the table.
