[uyuni-devel] tito is now available for Fedora, CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu

Hi, While tito is a tool mostly used as a releasing tool to adjust the versions and changelogs of our packages, it is also used by a very useful tool that you can use during development. That tool is `rel-eng/build-packages-local-obs.sh`, and allows you to build packages locally without pushing them to OBS and even without branching anything. Quite useful to test packages before starting PRs. That tool requires tito, and that's the reason we decided to make tito available for Fedora, CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu. You can installing using the following repositories: CentOS7: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/Uyuni:/Utils/… CentOS8: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/Uyuni:/Utils/… Fedora30: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/Uyuni:/Utils/… Fedora31: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/Uyuni:/Utils/… FedoraRahide: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/Uyuni:/Utils/… Debian9: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/Uyuni:/Utils/… Debian10: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/Uyuni:/Utils/… DebianTesting: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/Uyuni:/Utils/… DebianUnstable: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/Uyuni:/Utils/… Ubuntu16.04: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/Uyuni:/Utils/… Ubuntu18.04: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/Uyuni:/Utils/… Ubuntu18.10: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/Uyuni:/Utils/… Ubuntu19.04: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/systemsmanagement:/Uyuni:/Utils/… And you can see the builds at https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/systemsmanagement:Uyuni:Utils If you are using an old repository from Michael Calmer (https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/mcalmer:/tito/), you can safely switch to the new one. The current repositories from Michael Calmer will be removed in a few weeks to allow the transition. NOTES: * Debian s390x and ppc64le for all versions is not building. Seems to an OBS problem. * Debian aarch64 and armv7l for Sid and Testing is not building. Seems to be an OBS problem. * Ubuntu Next is broken as some dependencies are not available (most probably the SPEC needs fixes) We will keep working to fix such architectures, but with low priority, so if you really need them, please join us fixing it :-) Enjoy! -- Julio González Gil Release Engineer, SUSE Manager and Uyuni jgonzalez(a)suse.com

[uyuni-devel] HTML e-mail?
by Pau Garcia Quiles 18 Mar '20

18 Mar '20

Hello Currently these lists only accept plain text e-mail and reject HTML mail. This is inconvenient and harms our community, specially newcomers whose e-mail client sends HTML mail by default (it's 2020, yes, HTML mail is the default for many clients). I have received complaints about this and I have been bitten by this myself. Is anyone against HTML mail? why? Please speak up until next Friday 13.03.2020.

[uyuni-devel] Re: [Spacewalk-devel] Spacewalk on RHEL8 - Step 1 (of many) completed

Actually, we SUSE are giving it all: the Uyuni codebase (and even docs base) is identical to SUSE Manager. The only difference is support. As a contributor to Uyuni, SUSE will focus on openSUSE/SUSE Linux Enterprise on the server side, and on the most popular distributions on the client side (e. g. Uyuni includes crazy clients stuff such as Springdale Linux -Princeton's clone of RHEL-, Astra Linux -Russian Debian-derivative-, etc; SUSE Manager also includes that -because the codebase is the same as Uyuni, we don't add or remove- but there is no support from SUSE, it's only community-supported) I said this when I presented Uyuni at CentOS Dojo in Brussels 6 weeks ago and I will repeat it again: we are open to run Uyuni Server and Proxy on other platforms (e. g. CentOS or Debian) if anyone is willing to contribute and maintain it. https://wiki.centos.org/Events/Dojo/Brussels2020 Same for governance: I would love to open it.
