How SIGs can facilitate contributions to the CentOS Stream kernel

+

Paolo Bonzini

+

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

The self-abolition of Enterprise Linux Distributions

+

Dan Čermák

+

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

+

What is the way out of this? How can enterprise vendors solve the + problem to remain relevant in a cloud native world? Will a more + modular distribution be the solution? Or perhaps the container + ecosystem, where everything is containerized, is the answer?

Testing the CentOS Hyperscale systemd backport with mkosi

+

Daan De Meyer

+

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