Merging custom CentOS packages to Master
by Stefan Bluhm 07 Jul '21

07 Jul '21

Hello all, Next big activity is pushing the required CentOS 8 packages to the Uyuni Master branches. The distribution of packages to repositories on the Uyuni Server are: - Uyuni Master: 98 + Uyuni Master Other: 58 - New custom packages: 46 - EPEL: 34 - PowerTools: 50 - CentOS 8 BaseOS: 477 + CentOS 8 AppStream: 196 1) I would push my newly created custom packages including kits to "Uyuni Master Other". Are there any guidelines? Otherwise I would just split out the change log of the spec file and submit. 2) What do we do about the EPEL and PowerTools packages? I feel a bit uneasy of pushing 84 packages (+ probable build dependencies) to OPS. Especially when you consider that these packages need to be maintained and monitored for security fixes. 3) One more (not so pleasant) thought is the module system. Installation requires activation of 10 modules and deactivation of 2 more modules. If we go for loading all packages of point 2) into OBS, we might as well add the ones from the modules and create an Uyuni Server module (one per major release?). That would simplify the user experience and probably use the module system as intended (but kill maintainability...). Let me know your thoughts and ways to continue. Best wishes, Stefan

Open positions to work on Uyuni!
by Johannes Renner 17 Feb '21

17 Feb '21

Hello, for those of you who might be interested but were not present during the last community hour: We currently have two open positions at SUSE (with flexible location) to work on Uyuni full-time, and if you are familiar with the project or if you are already a contributor this would be a great advantage! Here are the links to those positions: https://jobs.suse.com/us/en/job/71000171/Software-Engineer-Flexible-Location https://jobs.suse.com/us/en/job/71000288/Software-Engineer-Flexible-Location Please reach out to me in case you have any questions. Otherwise feel free to apply directly via those pages, or maybe consider to recommend those jobs to your friends.

Uyuni 2021.01 fix for /etc/uyuni-release and WebUI version and release notes update
by Julio González Gil 08 Feb '21

08 Feb '21

Hello, Those of you that already updated to 2021.01 maybe already noticed that the WebUI incorrectly says "2021.02", and the same information is present at /etc/uyuni-release [1] We added an update to the Patches repository [2] that can be installed on top of 2021.01 to fix this issue. The patches repository also contains updated release notes with the information about the WebUI not starting because of a vendor change for some Java dependencies [3] To get the fixes installed, follow the next steps (as root) at the Uyuni Server: 1. Install the patches repository (if it's already present, zypper will exit with an error that you can just ignore) zypper ar https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/Uyuni:/Stable… 2. Refresh the repositories: zypper ref 3. Stop the services: spacewalk-service stop 4. Run the update (this will get you updates for at least release-notes-uyuni, spacewalk-base, spacewalk-base-minimal, spacewalk-base-minimal-config, spacewalk-common, spacewalk-html, spacewalk-postgresql, susemanager-web-libs and any other pending updates from Leap): zypper up 5. After the update is complete, start the services: spacewalk-service start You will see the correct version 2021.01 at the WebUI, /etc/uyuni-release as well as the updated release notes. NOTE: Starting the services will tell you about a schema upgrade. Do not worry. That is perfectly normal and you will see that message each time you start the services. An upgrade is always attempted, in case there is something pending.

For the fixes for salt CVEs, there will be an Uyuni 2021.02 release by the end of February as the fixes rescheduled by upstream [2] 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 2021.01 As always, we hope you will enjoy Uyuni 2021.01 and we invite everyone of you to send us your feedback [1] and of course your patches, if you can contribute. Happy hacking!

Re: Merging custom CentOS packages to Master

Hello Michael, the new packages are in my repo: https://build.opensuse.org/project/monitor/home:sbluhm:systemsmanagement:Uy… As they are in a "hacking" stage, I would need to revisit them to align them to standards. I believe the project config is public (let me know if not). Below the list of packages. Let me know if you want them in any other format (text file, CSV,...)

Februar 2021 10:34:46 Betreff: Re: Merging custom CentOS packages to Master Hi Stefan We need a bit of time to review this an give a proper answer. We hope that we can enable CentOS building on Master by end of the week and then we can try some tricks to include a selection of EPEL and PowerTools packages into a resulting repo for Uyuni server. These packages would be refreshed with every "release" of Uyuni. So we would get also fixes of these packages when they appear in EPEL/PowerTools. What would help is, if you could provide a list of packages which are required and the source where it come from. Also packages you want to submit newly . And the list of Steams which needs to be enabled would help too. Thanks Am Dienstag, 2.
