OpenStack RPMs - Call for packaging volunteers
by Francesco Di Nucci 16 Mar '26

16 Mar '26

Hi all, the RDO Project[0], that provided OpenStack RPM packages through the CentOS Cloud SIG, is switching to a container-based approach due to lack of maintainers.[1] This means *there will be no more RPM packages for OpenStack versions after 2025.1/Epoxy unless new maintainers come up*. *This is a call across the EL and OpenStack communities for volunteer maintainers of RPM build pipelines*. If you're interested you can: * Add your name to the dedicated Etherpad (https://etherpad.opendev.org/p/rdo-volunteers) * Register to the RDO devs mailing list (dev(a)lists.rdoproject.org) and ask for more information No previous experience with packaging/pipelines is required, just willingness to learn /Note: this email is being separately to different mailing lists. If you have subscribed to more than one and receive it multiple times, sorry for the duplication./ Links [0] https://www.rdoproject.org/ [1] https://lists.rdoproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.rdoproject.org/threa… Francesco, another OpenStack on EL operator -- Francesco Di Nucci System Administrator Compute & Networking Service, INFN Naples Email:francesco.dinucci@na.infn.it

Hi, I am from India and I want to know whether Rocky linux or its documentation or the software is exported outside of US to embargoed/sanctioned countries as rocky linux comes under EAR licence exemptions right?

Rocky OS on Server
by Sanjeev Ramadoss 25 Oct '24

25 Oct '24

Hi Rocky Team Writing to you as I have a generic query on installing Rocky OS. We would like to install Rocky 9.4 OS on an "Intel(r) Xeon(r) Gold 5220R CPU @ 2.20 GHz based Cascade Lake - R" Server, as Bare Metal. FYI This physical server is remote, and Intel based 'Integrated BMC Web Console access' is enabled. Can you please help by clarifying below queries as I am first time trying to install Rocky OS and that too remote. 1. What is the preferred method of installation? * Install through uploading 'Boot-ISO' using the option "BMC web UI -> Virtual Media over HTML5"? * Web ISO using NFS Would be very helpful to receive any Standard installation procedure of 9.4 OS on Bare Matel Server. Thanks in advance! regards, Sanjeev R

Indeed I can see how this can be an issue for embedded systems and such, but keep these points in mind: * You don't actually *have* to restart the system to the newer kernel, you can keep running it under the old kernel just fine, even after updating to a new point release. * This can happen even within a point release, really any time there is a kernel update for whatever reason. * You can use kpatch to install critical patches to the live running kernel without rebooting the system. Unfortunately Rocky Linux does not (unless I'm mistaken) provide the kernel-patch rpms for doing so. You can potentially generate your own patches for kpatch or you can get a RHEL subscription and use their patches. * The kernel is not the only package where you should want to restart the system. If there's critical updates to glibc you should restart as well, and potentially certain other packages. * You can get support for staying on a point release past the eol from certain 3rd-parties. * A simple dnf update followed by a reboot is all that is needed to update to a new point release, or to get the latest updates to the current point release. In your situation you may want to consider pinning the kernel and just running updates monthly but not rebooting. In cases where there are critical kernel or glibc vulnerabilities *then* you can update the kernel explicitly and do a reboot. Also, as mentioned above, kpatch was made for your situation. Peter

Evolution broken in update to 8.9
by Ian Jon 29 Nov '23

29 Nov '23

Hi All, Pressing the delete key in evolution moves the cursor back one space and then deletes the character behind it. ie if you type in abcdef and leave your cursor to the right of the the f character and you press delete 3 times you end up with the string bdf The delete key also deletes the character one to the right of the cursor. ie if you type the string abcdef and place your cursor to the right of the string you end up with the string ace This has only happened after updating to 8.9 I updated another computer with a different user profile and now they are experiencing the same problem. 3.28.5 (3.28.5-22.el8)
