Retired packages with maintainers
by Pierre-Yves Chibon
Good Morning Everyone,
A little while ago we have received the request on the infra issue tracker to
remove all maintainers of retired packages [1].
So today I decided to look at what this would look like and wrote a script that
queries PDC for the list of all branches on all projects [2], gather from it a
list of all the packages that are retired on all their branches (so all branches
are ``active=false``).
For each of these retired project, it queries dist-git to find out if they still
have maintainers in addition to the ``orphan`` user.
The outcome of this script can be found there:
https://pingou.fedorapeople.org/retired_packages_with_maintainers.log
Some stats about this:
- 881 RPM packages are retired and still have maintainers (out of 4322 retired
RPMs).
- 662 of them are not orphaned
- 42 modules are retired and still have maintainers (out of 42 retired modules).
- all of them are not orphaned
- 2 containers are retired and still have maintainers (out of 3 retired
containers).
- all of them are not orphaned
Which brings a couple of questions:
- Do we have a documented way to mark modules as orphaned or retired?
- Should we orphan all the RPM packages that are retired but not orphaned?
Finally, does everyone agree about the original request: "remove all maintainers
of retired packages"? Or should we bring this to FESCo?
Thanks for your inputs,
Pierre

## GitForge Updates
* We are tracking our progress here (nothing new added yet, fyi)
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Git_forge_update

### Data Centre Move
* Communishift is unfortunately offline until mid to end of June. The
guys hit some unfortunate roadblocks which cost us a lot of time and
energy. As we are starting to bring up hardware in IAD2 for the
reduced Fedora offering next week, the hard but necessary decision was
taken to pause bringing up CommuniShift in RDU-CC for now and come
back to this once the *slightly* more critical work is done or close
to complete in IAD2.
* Thank you for your patience, this is a colossal undertaking for the
team and your support and understanding is very much appreciated.
* Full amended schedule is here https://hackmd.io/vDwoayVLQ8yjyDk3PDvC8A?view
* And updates are being posted here https://status.fedoraproject.org/
* Again, as this project is currently being run by a two man team, we
appreicateand thank you for your patience for delayed replies to
tickets/requests/pings related to Fedora infra.
### AAA Replacement
* The team have met with openSUSE and are supporting them when deploying Noggin
* Noggin UI improvements based on feedback have also been implemented
* Teh team will begin to work on upstream code changes of existing
apps to the FASjson api in their next sprint
* You can view the teams current, completed and backlog work here
https://github.com/orgs/fedora-infra/projects/6
### Sustaining Team
* The team are using this dashboard to track their work
https://github.com/fedora-infra/mbbox/projects/1
* They are also supportg the ELN work
* The ansible repo has also been moved to pagure!
https://pagure.io/fedora-infra/ansible
* Mbbox Upgrade
* ssl fix is done
* The team are also working on CRD for koji-builder
* Work is being tracked here if you wish to view in more detail
https://github.com/fedora-infra/mbbox/projects/1
## CentOS Updates
### CentOS CI
* The team are working on
* Improving monitoring on CI agents
* Manual install of RHCOS bootstrap node on bare metal
* Importing EL6 Image for CICO cloud
* VMs migration from OpenStack to OpenNebula
### CentOS
* CentOS 7.8.2003 was released for x86_64, aarch64,ppc64, ppc64le and
armhfp architectures. Including Cloud images (on
https://cloud.centos.org) -
https://blog.centos.org/2020/04/release-centos last week
* CentOS Linux 8.2 work is ongoing with compose level testing due to start soon
### CentOS Stream
* The team are working through debranding CentOS Stream content from
CentOS Linux
* Using CentOS Stream in the CentOS QA group to prep for 8.2
As always, feedback is welcome, and we will continue to look at ways
to improve the delivery and readability of this weekly report.
Have a great week ahead!

4.4+ squashfs-tools in rawhide
by Bruno Wolff III
I finally built 4.4 for rawhide. We already had back-ported zstd, but this
gives us reproducible builds and a few other things.
I'm noting this here, because squashfs-tools is used for some important
stuff and in the case it breaks something I wanted people to know
that it might be due to this update. I did run the squash / unsquash
tests successfully, so I'm not expecting anything to break.
I'm currently not planning on doing builds for f31 or f32. But will
consider it if there is demand.
