Gave a talk on our images today at the CentOS Showcase (videos to come later)

Aurora Helium LTS coming along nicely:

Today's the day for the CentOS Showcase. Join us at 17:00 UTC for this half-day virtual event showcasing the work in the CentOS ecosystem.

About last week I had set up "automatic timer" (after installing #dnf-automatic package & updating /etc/dnf/automatic*) to update the packages with #security fixes on #RockyLinux 8. That failed to update freetype v2.9 package due to CVE-2025-27363 https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-27363 ; so did fail dnf upgrade --security (update was included in unqualified dnf upgrade).

Utterly useless option & package. Removed the timer & dnf-automatic package.

This -- failure of dnf upgrade --security to update vulnerable packages -- had happened a second time (yes, I had forgotten the uselessness of it; a timely reminder it was). I will need to stick to update-all-the-packages.

The schedule for CentOS Showcase is now available. Hyperscale. Bluefin LTS. Proposed Updates. RPM COW. Automotive. Join us April 7 for our half-day virtual conference series.

We are sorry to inform you that your proposal, "How to create an #RPM Declarative Buildsystem to reduce boilerplate (and save the planet)", was not accepted.

We are sorry to inform you that your proposal, "The state of #Fedora, #EPEL, and #CentOS #Python RPM packaging in 2025", was not accepted.

That's... unfortunate. I wonder what kind of talks were accepted for Flock this year.

From #CentOSConnect: @Conan_Kudo and Davide Cavalca gave an update on the CentOS Hyperscale SIG.
