Hello, I am currently touching the susemanager.spec file for the susemanager package and noticed the if statements for Python 2 and 3. Can I remove the Python 2 references or are they still needed? Best wishes, Stefan

VERY IMPORTANT: 2023.01 will require a special procedure if you are not upgrading from 2022.12 Make sure you read the release notes for all the versions between the one you are using now, and 2023.01! We are happy to announce the availability of Uyuni 2023.01. Most openSUSE mirrors should already have 2023.01, 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 2023.01, including the release notes, documentation, requirements and setup instructions. This is the list of highlights for this release: - Release notes cleanup - SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro support as client - Content Lifecycle Management: Disabling modularity for AppStream repositories 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 2023.01. As always, we hope you will enjoy this new Uyuni version and we invite everyone of you to send us your feedback [1] and of course your patches, if you can contribute. Happy hacking!

EoL operating systems to be removed from systemsmanagement:Uyuni:Utils
by Julio Gonzalez 09 Jan '23

09 Jan '23

Hello! We keep a lot of packages at https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/systemsmanagement:Uyuni:Utils that useful for development or release engineering. By March 31st, we'll be removing the following repositories from that project: CentOS_8 SLE_15 openSUSE_Leap_15.0 openSUSE_Leap_15.1 openSUSE_Leap_15.2 openSUSE_Leap_15.3 Debian_9.0* xUbuntu_16.04* xUbuntu_18.10* xUbuntu_19.04* Such OS are end of life (EoL), so if you are using them, please migrate to a supported version before March 31st. Removing such repositories will free resources for the Open Build Service, which is always crowded. This will not affect Uyuni itself, as such packages are not shipped with Uyuni. EXTRA: You will noticed some recent Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora versions were not added. If you need them, let us know, so we can enable the repositories, and please help us fixing the building problems, in case there are any. Happy hacking! -- Julio González Gil Release Engineer, SUSE Manager and Uyuni jgonzalez(a)suse.com

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

IMPORTANT: Patch for Uyuni Server 2022.11
by Julio Gonzalez 25 Nov '22

25 Nov '22

Hello! Several users at Gitter and GitHub have reported that after the update to Uyuni 2022.11, they see a notification whith an error message after a reposync for any channel is complete. The error will contain a python stacktrace as described at https://github.com/uyuni-project/uyuni/issues/6193 Uyuni 2022.11, includes a refactor for the System list page to use a dedicated cache table to improve performance. Because of this refactor, each time a repository is synchronized, we need to refresh the information for the minions using such repository. The query that processes such refresh had a bug, and was referring a non- existing reference. 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 all users that reported the issues, and helped with the debugging. Happy hacking! -- Julio González Gil Release Engineer, SUSE Manager and Uyuni jgonzalez(a)suse.com
