by Julio Gonzalez 29 Apr '22

29 Apr '22

IMPORTANT NOTE: The release is done, but it seems OpenBuildService is a bit overloaded now, so we recommend waiting at least a few hours before applying the update, to give more time for the mirrors to sync We are happy to announce the immediate availability of Uyuni 2022.04 At https://www.uyuni-project.org/pages/stable-version.html you will find all the resources you need to start working with Uyuni 2022.04, including the release notes, documentation, requirements and setup instructions. VERY IMPORTANT: Always read the release notes! If you are updating from an Uyuni version older than 2021.06, a major upgrade procedure is required. This is the list of highlights for this release: * Salt SSH now uses the Salt Bundle * Technology Preview: Containerized Uyuni Proxy and Retail Branch Server * Reporting Database improvements * Improved image management * HSTS Enabled 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 2022.04 As always, we hope you will enjoy Uyuni 2022.04 and we invite everyone of you to send us your feedback [1] and of course your patches, if you can contribute.

JUnit5 in master
by Cedric Bosdonnat 07 Apr '22

07 Apr '22

Hi all, I just merged the migration from JUnit3 to JUnit5 to master. For you this means: * You can use all the goodness of JUnit5 features, but do not enable parallel execution without carefull testing * Any new JUnit3 test you write will NOT be executed by the CI What makes a JUnit5 test? * Every test method needs to be annotated with org.junit.jupiter.api.Test * Every setup and teardown need to be annotated too * TestCase is no longer a base class for test classes * You need to statically import assertions from org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions Checkout the help page for more details on JUnit5: https://junit.org/junit5/docs/current/user-guide/#writing-tests -- Cedric

IMPORTANT: Broken salt communications between minions and master on 2022.02, after the last fixes for Salt CVEs
by Julio Gonzalez 01 Apr '22

01 Apr '22

Hello, If you suddenly see at your minions: 2022-03-28 13:19:41,880 [salt.crypt :743 ][ERROR ][15942] Sign-in attempt failed: {'publish_port': 4505, 'pub_key': '-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY----- \n...\n-----END PUBLIC KEY-----\n''enc': 'pub','sig': ".."} 2022-03-28 13:19:41,885 [salt.minion :1056][ERROR ][15942] Error while bringing up minion for multi-master. Is master at salt-master-server.tf.local responding? That's a consecuence of the fixes for the last Salt CVEs. The official solution is updating to Uyuni 2022.03 If you want to stay on 2022.02, this is an unofficial, untested and unsupported solution: - Apply the updates for the Salt Master on the server - Resync all client tools - Update the salt minon at all salt clients Best regards. -- Julio González Gil Release Engineer, SUSE Manager and Uyuni jgonzalez(a)suse.com
