Got opinions about Uyuni Docs?
by Lana Brindley 12 Jan '21

Hi everyone, Lana from the docs team here. We're planning to do some work on the Uyuni documentation in the new year, and we'd like to get your feedback on what you would like to see. We've got a short survey up for you to fill out: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/V73GQJR <https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/V73GQJR> Make sure you get your responses in, so that we can include your suggestions. At the moment, the Uyuni documentation is largely created from the same source as SUSE Manager documentation, but we know that that doesn't always work as well as it could. We specifically want to hear from you on what content you think is required for Uyuni that might be different to what is required for SUSE Manager. Thanks, Lana -- Lana Brindley @Loquacities Technical Writer - SUSE Manager "The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."

Uyuni Server and Fedora
by Stefan Bluhm 30 Nov '20

30 Nov '20

Hello Development Community, there are still Fedora references in the SPEC packaging files (and maybe even in the code). As Uyuni Server does not run/is supported on Fedora, I would clean the references out if I come across them. Does anyone object to that or has plans with Fedora? If yes, can you please share your plan? @Neal :) NOTE: This message is for Fedora only, not RHEL overall. Thank you and best wishes, Stefan

Remember that Uyuni will follow a rolling release planning, so the next version will contain bugfixes for this one and any new features. There will be no maintenance of 2020.11 As always, we hope you will enjoy Uyuni 2020.11 and we invite everyone of you to send us your feedback [2] and of course your patches, if you can contribute.

IMPORTANT: Recent changes for the mailing lists
by Julio González Gil 16 Nov '20

16 Nov '20

Hi everyone, As part of the openSUSE Migration of the mailing lists [1], we have a few new things that you need to be aware of: 1. The lists addresses are now: announce(a)lists.uyuni-project.org devel(a)lists.uyuni-project.org users(a)lists.uyuni-project.org translation(a)lists.uyuni-project.org 2. The old addresses will be working for some unspecified time, but we recommend you start using the new addresses. 3. To avoid some problems DMARC authentication [2], the lists (among other things) will not add prefixes such as "[uyuni-user]" to the subject, and will not alter the body adding any links to the mailing lists. 4. As a consequence: If you used the subject to filter emails, please change your filters to start using email headers(check the openSUSE Migration page for details [1]) 5. The new system uses mailman v3 and hyperkitty, so now all management can be done via webUI at https://lists.uyuni-project.org or https://lists.opensuse.org 6. Your subscription should remain unchanged. We would like to thank the openSUSE Heroes [3] for the migration, as the change from mlmmj to mailman+hyperkitty is a big step forward making life easier for both users and mailing list administrators. Best regards.

[uyuni-devel] Special update for CVE-2020-8028 (bsc#1175884)
by Julio González Gil 06 Nov '20

06 Nov '20

Dear lists, Today we released an unscheduled release on top of Uyuni 2020.09, for CVE-2020-16846, CVE-2020-17490 and CVE-2020-25592 that affect salt master and clients. First, a small warning. The current salt on openSUSE Leap 15.2/15.2 fixes the CVEs already, but contains a regression that breaks onboarding from WebUI and salt ssh manage minions. A fix for this is already in the openSUSE queue and should be released soon. Server ====== Please make sure you are on the most recent release (2020.09) and use the following commands on the Uyuni server: zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/Uyuni:/Stable… zypper refresh spacewalk-service stop zypper update spacewalk-service start This will download the required spacewalk-java and py26-compat-salt packages and packages, as well as salt from openSUSE Leap 15.2 Proxies and Clients =================== Just sync your channels on the Uyuni Server for all operating systems, and that will get the updated salt packages. Then apply the updates to all your clients as you would do for any other security updates. More information ================ https://www.saltstack.com/blog/on-november-3-2020-saltstack-publicly-disclo… https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-16846/ https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-25592/ https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-17490/ -- Julio González Gil Release Engineer, SUSE Manager and Uyuni jgonzalez(a)suse.com
