Rocky Linux 9.2 for Power Little Endian (ppc64le) Now Available
by Neil Hanlon 31 May '23

31 May '23

Hi all, After additional testing and thorough investigation into the architecture-specific bug we discovered, the Rocky Linux team is pleased to announce the availability of Rocky 9.2 for the PowerPC (LE) or ppc64le architecture. Before upgrading your ppc64le machine to Rocky 9.2, review the section below on upgrading. Our investigation has revealed that the environments under which our tests were performed were running a “pre-production” revision to the Power 9 CPU architecture, leading to segmentation faults we are able to reproduce both in emulated and physical environments with affected processor revisions (steppings). For a more detailed explanation, please read our news post here: https://rockylinux.org/news/rocky-linux-9-2-power-le-update/ If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out via email, Mattermost, or the bug tracker. Best, Neil Hanlon Infrastructure Lead, RESF

[RFO] [2023-04-17] Public-facing services outage
by Neil Hanlon 21 Apr '23

21 Apr '23

On April 17, 2023, we had planned maintenance that was aimed to be transparent in nature. In our current work of standing up new infrastructure, we needed to migrate Rocky Linux 8 to 9 for our FreeIPA domain (that runs our DNS and auth for our services internal and external). The plan was to essentially: * Remove one node * Add new node, configure as needed via ansible * Repeat the above until all nodes are migrated As FreeIPA handles the internal DNS and responds to internal requests from our external services where necessary, this should be fairly routine. Most internal services won’t notice IPA servers coming and going as the SRV records will have changed and things will move on as normal. This is mostly transparent, following the proper documentation for FreeIPA migrations between major releases of Enterprise Linux. However, among this work, our internal firewall and unbound DNS caching were not made aware of the new IPA systems as we added and removed nodes, and thus the problems began to start and eventually cascade externally. The remaining 8 node that was still available was the only server responding to requests from our haproxy and unbound. Though this was the case, this essentially caused the following issues: * The CDN would fallback to our appropriate parameters to ensure mirror manager would still respond with at least one mirror (dl.rockylinux.org) * The CDN would detect our services to be back up briefly * Some users will have success, while some would time out. * Anyone hitting mirrors.rockylinux.org would eventually timeout * The CDN would detect it down again and try to fallback * The above would loop endlessly This also unfortunately prevented us from being able to login to our VPN by normal means. The appropriate infrastructure contacts were notified to assist in getting in and fixing the internal resolver to bring all services back online. After all services were back online, we were able to migrate the final 8 node to 9, without further impact to our infrastructure and our users. Corrections have been made to the infrastructure configuration to provide better fault tolerance in the case of DNS outages like this. If you have any questions, please reach out. Best, Neil Hanlon Infrastructure Team Lead, Rocky Enterprise Software Foundation

Announcing Rocky Linux 8.6
by Louis Abel 16 May '22

16 May '22

Hello everyone. I am pleased to announce the general availability of Rocky Linux 8.6. This release is for the x86_64 and aarch64 architectures and is derived from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.6. Please read through the release notes at: https://docs.rockylinux.org/release_notes/8_6/ - These notes contain important information about the release, details about some of the content inside the release (such as newer modules or updates throughout the distribution) and highlights. ## General Repository Changes ### openldap-servers While it may not be very well known, we were providing the openldap-servers package as part of our Plus repository alongside thunderbird and open-vm-tools for aarch64. openldap-servers is now part of the PowerTools repository. In the event this changes again, we will of course let you know in our announcements. ### multiple bind versions The standard bind version is the 9.11 series. In 8.6, bind9.16 is now available as a choice for those who want to use a newer bind series. ### perl module streams rebuilt With the exception of the default base perl module (5.26), all other perl module streams have been completely rebuilt. Thanks to our testing team, its members, and others in the community, we were able to identify and stamp out the problematic behavior that has unfortunately existed in our previous releases. ## Known Issues ### dotnet As reported in our 8.5 release, we had to override the builds for the dotnet packages to fake "rhel" as the RID. This is still the case until we are upstreamed. You can help us in this effort in ~Development in our [Mattermost](https://chat.rockylinux.org). ======= Updates ======= Updates released since upstream are posted across our current architectures. We strongly recommend that all users apply *all* updates, including the content released today on your existing Rocky Linux machines. This can be done by running `dnf update`. All Rocky Linux components are built from the sources hosted at git.rockylinux.org. In addition, SRPMs are being published alongside the repositories in a corresponding "source" directory. You can find these on any of our mirrors. These source packages match every binary RPM we release. Note that this release supersedes all previously released content for Rocky Linux 8. You are encouraged to update your system. Older content, such as those obsoleted from the previous release will not be available. While we keep older content around for historical purposes (within our vault), it is recommended that you use the latest updates available to you. **Please allow mirrors to sync the content. While most of our mirrors have synced majority of the content, not all has been synced and you may not get your updates right away.** ======== Download ======== * x86_64 Boot: https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/isos/x86_64/Rocky-8.6-x86_64-boot.iso DVD: https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/isos/x86_64/Rocky-8.6-x86_64-dvd1.iso Minimal: https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/isos/x86_64/Rocky-8.6-x86_64-minimal.… DVD Torrent: https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/isos/x86_64/Rocky-8.6-x86_64-dvd1.iso… Boot Torrent: https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/isos/x86_64/Rocky-8.6-x86_64-boot.iso… Minimal Torrent: https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/isos/x86_64/Rocky-8.6-x86_64-minimal.… Checkcum: https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/isos/x86_64/CHECKSUM Verification: https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/isos/x86_64/CHECKSUM.sig * aarch64 Boot: https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/isos/aarch64/Rocky-8.6-aarch64-boot.i… DVD: https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/isos/aarch64/Rocky-8.6-aarch64-dvd1.i… Minimal: https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/isos/aarch64/Rocky-8.6-aarch64-minima… DVD Torrent: https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/isos/aarch64/Rocky-8.6-aarch64-dvd1.i… Boot Torrent: https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/isos/aarch64/Rocky-8.6-aarch64-boot.i… Minimal Torrent: https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/isos/aarch64/Rocky-8.6-aarch64-minima… Checkcum: https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/isos/aarch64/CHECKSUM Verification: https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/isos/aarch64/CHECKSUM.sig * Live Images GNOME (Workstation): https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/Live/x86_64/Rocky-Workstation-8-x86_6… XFCE: https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/Live/x86_64/Rocky-XFCE-8-x86_64-20220… Checksum: https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/Live/x86_64/CHECKSUM Verification: https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8/Live/x86_64/CHECKSUM.sig Note: KDE images are not available.

The containers are about 30MB compressed, and just under 100MB when extracted. In addition, the Minimal image ships microdnf as a drop in replacement for the dnf package manager.
