VERY IMPORTANT: 2022.12 will require a special procedure if you are not upgrading from 2022.11 Make sure you read the release notes for all the versions between the one you are using now, and 2022.12! We are happy to announce the availability of Uyuni 2022.12. Most openSUSE mirrors should already have 2022.12, but if you do not see it yet, wait a few hours until your local openSUSE mirror is synced. At https://www.uyuni-project.org/pages/stable-version.html you will find all the resources you need to start working with Uyuni 2022.12, including the release notes, documentation, requirements and setup instructions. This is the list of highlights for this release: - Indications for systems requiring reboot or with a scheduled reboot - Notification messages via email - Monitoring: Grafana update to 8.5.15 - Subscription warning notifications - Limit changelogs at repositories metadata to the last 20 entries - Drop legacy way to prevent disabling local repositories at bootstrap scripts Remember that Uyuni follows a rolling release planning, so the next version will contain bugfixes for this one and any new features. There will be no maintenance of 2022.12. As always, we hope you will enjoy Uyuni 2022.12 and we invite everyone of you to send us your feedback [1] and of course your patches, if you can contribute. Happy hacking! [1] https://www.uyuni-project.org/pages/contact.html -- Julio González Gil Release Engineer, SUSE Manager and Uyuni jgonzalez(a)suse.com

Hello! The SUSE security team detected a security problem that caused the proxy password to be present at the browser log, when using the Uyuni Server via WebUI. A patch for Uyuni 2022.11 is now available, and we recommend you apply it as soon as possible, without waiting for the next release (that obviously will include it as well. You can apply the patch at the Uyuni Server by following the instructions at: https://www.uyuni-project.org/pages/patches.html If you are still on 2022.10 or earlier, update first to 2022.11 normally (make sure you read the release notes, as special steps required if you are not on 2022.10 already), and then apply the patch as explained above.

IMPORTANT: Patch for Uyuni Server 2022.11 and Amazon Linux repository syncing
by Julio Gonzalez 02 Dec '22

02 Dec '22

Hello! A user has reported that after the update to Uyuni 2022.11, running spacewalk- repo-sync would fail with a permissions error, when trying to sync certain amazonlinux core channels. If you are affected, repository syncing will fail, and you will see errors similar to those reported at: https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni/issues/6244 This was due to a change in a script used by repo-sync, which checked if pages claiming to be mirrorlists were of the right media type. The check was overzealous and excluded some valid types of pages. A patch for Uyuni 2022.11 is now available, in case you are affected, so you do not need to wait for the next Uyuni release. You can apply the patch at the Uyuni Server by following the instructions at: https://www.uyuni-project.org/pages/patches.html If you are still on 2022.10 or earlier, update first to 2022.11 normally (make sure you read the release notes, as special steps required if you are not on 2022.10 already), and then apply the patch as explained above. Thanks to eins for the report and the help debugging the issue. Happy hacking! -- Julio González Gil Release Engineer, SUSE Manager and Uyuni jgonzalez(a)suse.com
