Happy Friday everyone!
Welcome to the CPE team weekly project update mail!
Background:
The Community Platform Engineering group is the Red Hat team combining IT
and release engineering from Fedora and CentOS. Our goal is to keep core
servers and services running and maintained, build releases, and other
strategic tasks that need more dedicated time than volunteers can give.
For better communication, we will be giving weekly reports to the CentOS
and Fedora communities about the general tasks and work being done. Also
for better communication between our groups we have created #redhat-cpe on
Freenode IRC! Please feel free to catch us there, a mail has landed on both
the CentOS and Fedora devel lists with context here.
Note:
This document is currently built from individual reports rolled into a
google document which we edit and copy into a final document. We are aware
that this causes problems with some email readers, and are working on a
method to make this less problematic.

*Fedora:*
*F31 Upgrades & Reinstallations*

Bodhi 5.0 has been deployed for a week now and we are getting some feedback
on the new UI
We hope to incorporate some of this feedback in the 5.1 release
5.1 will include a fix needed by the CI pipeline
Ci pipeline on fedora-messaging
JMS plugin has been updated
That broke datagrepper: unix timestamp are in seconds, not milliseconds and
postgresql doesn’t like the year 51850
Fedora-messaging client on resultsdb had broke
Open ticket is for monitoring:
https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/issue/8392
repoSpanner <
https://github.com/repoSpanner/repoSpanner>
83x performance patch submitted as a pull request and is awaiting review.
Once the 83x patch is merged, we hope that it will be possible to make a
release/deployment.
It is possible that it will still be too slow so our next idea for
improvement involves changing the API that nodes use to synchronize objects
with each other.
