# Highlights of the week
## Infrastructure & Release Engineering
Goal of this Initiative
-----------------------
Purpose of this team is to take care of day to day business regarding
CentOS and Fedora Infrastructure and Fedora release engineering work.
It’s responsible for services running in Fedora and CentOS
infrastructure and preparing things for the new Fedora release (mirrors,
mass branching, new namespaces etc.).
The ARC (which is a subset of the team) investigates possible
initiatives that CPE might take on.

Update
------
### Fedora Infra
* Issues sending email from fedoraproject.org -> redhat.com. Finally got
tls connection reuse working so we didn’t hit their limits.
* FCOS apps (almost) all moved from ocp3->ocp4 clusters
* Cleaned up after a bodhi bug left rawhide updates in limbo.
* Very close to having resultsdb in ocp4 stg working, just some url
adjustments left hopefully.
* Anitya and the-new-hotness messaging schemas were moved to separate
repositories

### CentOS Infra including CentOS CI
* Deploying RHEL (like Fedora Infra) in infra is [now
supported](https://pagure.io/centos-infra/issue/739)
* [Duffy testing/fixes](https://pagure.io/centos-infra/issue/712) still
ongoing
* Openshift upgrade (fixing jenkins image and [sync
issue](https://pagure.io/centos-infra/issue/728))
* Bussiness As Usual (new tags/mirrors changes requests)
### Release Engineering
* F36 RC composes 1.1 on friday 1.2 yesterday
* Discussion about where container images live and potential move to quay.io
## CentOS Stream
Goal of this Initiative
-----------------------
This initiative is working on CentOS Stream/Emerging RHEL to make this
new distribution a reality. The goal of this initiative is to prepare
the ecosystem for the new CentOS Stream.
Updates
-------
* Prototyping CI actions for Stream 9 using Duffy system, awaiting
onboarding from infra
* New compose released
* Upcoming: Reviewing Stream container and image build processes
* Improvements to the CVE checker have been rolled out
* Fedora ELN is being used as a prototype for SHA-1 removal in Fedora
## CentOS Duffy CI
Goal of this Initiative
-----------------------
Duffy is a system within CentOS CI Infra which allows tenants to
provision and access bare metal resources of multiple architectures for
the purposes of CI testing.
We need to add the ability to checkout VMs in CentOS CI in Duffy. We
have OpenNebula hypervisor available, and have started developing
playbooks which can be used to create VMs using the OpenNebula API, but
due to the current state of how Duffy is deployed, we are blocked with
new dev work to add the VM checkout functionality.
Updates
-------
* Parallelize running provisioning/deprovisioning playbooks
* More testing and minor fixes
## Package Automation (Packit Service)
Goal of this initiative
-----------------------
Automate RPM packaging of infra apps/packages
Updates
-------
* backlog is stocked with plenty of our apps for the time being, more to
be added as needed
* Expect emails, lots of emails
* fasjson-client, fedora-messaging and datagrepper currently being worked on
* currently able to build in copr, minus some hiccups
* we are currently looking at the best way to version. what are the
teams thoughts on moving spec files upstream? it makes everything
cleaner in packit. thoughts on a postcard please
## Flask-oidc: oauth2client replacement
Goal of this initiative
-----------------------
Flask-oidc is a library used across the Fedora infrastructure and is the
client for ipsilon for its authentication. flask-oidc uses oauth2client.
This library is now deprecated and no longer maintained. This will need
to be replaced with authlib.
Updates:
--------
* Currently finding all instances of oauth2client code in the current
flask-oidc code, mapping functionality to whats available in the authlib
library.
## EPEL
Goal of this initiative
-----------------------
Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (or EPEL) is a Fedora Special
Interest Group that creates, maintains, and manages a high quality set
of additional packages for Enterprise Linux, including, but not limited
to, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), CentOS and Scientific Linux (SL),
Oracle Linux (OL).
EPEL packages are usually based on their Fedora counterparts and will
never conflict with or replace packages in the base Enterprise Linux
distributions. EPEL uses much of the same infrastructure as Fedora,
including buildsystem, bugzilla instance, updates manager, mirror
manager and more.
Updates
-------
* EPEL9 up to 2416 source packages (increase of 45 from last week)
* qt5-5.15.3 update in CentOS Stream 8 and 9 has caused [update
breakages for KDE
users](https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/epel-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/thread/ENI3SYPO7NOVTVDE6FTXB6I5PBOSFQ7D/)
on those distros (EPEL8 and EPEL9). Updated packages are being built as
we speak.
* Unblocked python-aiosignal by adding python-pytest-asyncio to EPEL9.
* Unblocked several openstack packages by adding python-ddt to EPEL9.
* Resolved python-aiohttp installation issue by adding
python-async-timeout to EPEL9.
* Updated GitPython in EPEL7 to resolve issue with cloning large
repositories.
* Bump release of python-cheetah in EPEL7 to fix upgrade path from
python-cheetah in CentOS 7 Extras.
* Updated incompatible updates policy to reduce minimum time in testing
from 2 weeks to 1 week to match regular updates policy.
Kindest regards,
CPE Team
