by Julio Gonzalez 10 Aug '22

10 Aug '22

VERY IMPORTANT: 2022.08 requires special procedures if you are not already using Uyuni 2022.06! The configuration files for the proxy on containers also needs to be updated. Make sure you read the release notes before updating! We are happy to announce the availability of Uyuni 2022.08. Most openSUSE mirrors should already have 2022.08, 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 2022.08, including the release notes, documentation, requirements and setup instructions. This is the list of highlights for this release: - Ubuntu 22.04 as client - GPG key handling in Uyuni - Disabling locally defined repositories - Technology Preview: Helm chart to deploy containerized Uyuni Proxy and Retail Branch Server 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 2022.08 As always, we hope you will enjoy Uyuni 2022.08 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

WIP: Uyuni Ansible Collection
by Christian Stankowic 12 Jul '22

12 Jul '22

Hi Uyuni team, after I started working on an Ansible role for installing and configuring Uyuni (https://github.com/stdevel/ansible-uyuni) back in 2020, I recently started working on an Ansible Collection. Using this collection, you can currently install patches and package upgrades. For the future, it is planned to implement other functionality such as Content Lifecycle Mangement maintenance and managing Activation Keys. The collection is still in an early stage - I tested the current functionality successfully against the last two Uyuni versions. Development is completely open-source: https://github.com/stdevel/ansible-collection-uyuni/ I documented some TODOs and ideas as issues - feel free to let me know what you think! I can demonstrate the collection in one of the next Uyuni Community Hours, if you like! Best regards, Christian.

Patch for Uyuni 2022.06
by Julio Gonzalez 06 Jul '22

06 Jul '22

Hello! Several users syncing openSUSE Leap 15.3/15.4 and/or the SUSE PackageHub reported that they are getting the following error running reposync from CLI, or at the WebUI notifications area: 2022/07/05 09:22:01 +02:00 Importing packages to DB: 2022/07/05 09:22:02 +02:00 'rpm.hdr' object has no attribute 'get' Please note that this bug does **not** prevent syncing other packages, it just means that the package `kicad-packages3D` version `5.1.8-bp154.1.18` failed to sync due to the bug. So it wont be available for Uyuniu clients, as it won't be synced at the server. Other than that the reposync will work just as usual. If automated syncing is for the affected channels is enabled, then you will also get notifications at the UI (the "bell" icon). A patch for Uyuni 2022.06 to fix both problems was just published, in case you do not want to wait for Uyuni 2022.07 (it will be part of that release as well). You can apply the patch by following the instructions at: https://www.uyuni-project.org/pages/patches.html If you are using Uyuni 2022.05 or older: make sure you update to 2022.06, and remember 2022.06 changes the base OS to openSUSE Leap 15.4, so you need to follow a special procedure (check the release notes). Thank to all users that reported the issue, and specially to Jonathan Müller (LordofAgents) for providing the information about the affected package. Happy hacking! -- Julio González Gil Release Engineer, SUSE Manager and Uyuni jgonzalez(a)suse.com

I can't tell for sure. @Michele? If it's not needed, then we should remove it from the doc. On lunes, 27 de junio de 2022 16:13:08 (CEST) Bidault, Philippe wrote: > Hi Julio, > > Thanks for this !

Hi everyone, As every year, SUSE is celebrating its Hack Week, this time between June 27th and July 1st. Quoting the official definition: > Hack Week is the time SUSE employees and openSUSE community members experiment, innovate & learn interruption-free for a whole week! Across teams or alone, but always without limits. > > A SUSE tradition since 2007, Hack Week has brought together hundreds of hackers around the globe to collaborate on open source. > > SUSE Hack Week 21 theme is "Hacking for Humanity". All members of SUSE staff, community, partners and customers, with and without coding skills, are welcome to contribute to open source and any other kinds of projects. As last years, Uyuni is participating, so far with two projects that you can check at https://hackweek.opensuse.org/21/topics/uyuni Remember we have a "hackweek" channel at Gitter in case you want to participate in one of the existing projects, or if you want to create a new one. Also remember: you do not have to be a developer to help! You can help with documentation, translations, testing, bug reporting, web or graphic design, packaging, and a lot more. Happy hacking! -- Julio González Gil Release Engineer, SUSE Manager and Uyuni jgonzalez(a)suse.com
