Re: [foreman-dev] Releases for EOL Fedora, why ?
Hi Ewoud, I would love to help but I need to find out more about that when I have time for it. It's not something you want to figure out in a day. In my case I was actually only talking about the proxy, but you are right there is more then the proxy only but the proxy itself is creating the gap here on Fedora. For now I have created a CentOS "ProxyBox" that will be running a supported version of the proxy and FreeIPA where CentOS is still a little bit behind. At least my core machines are not affected when I have a problem with my proxy. I hope I'm able to help you out here or that the devs are able to focus for the proxy at least more on latest Fedora versions.

[foreman-dev] Re: [foreman-users] ACTION - Foreman will move from Google Groups to Discourse on 1st Jan 2018
We're now 2 weeks away from migration date, so here's a quick update. * Lists, website, blog, and Twitter updated with the migration details * 100+ user visits in the last week * Support, Dev, and Feedback categories actually getting some real use * Outbound email and system load well within capability * Tags are now created, please do use them where appropriate * "Solved" plugin is available if you want to mark solutions in Support * Introductory notes and issue template updated I'm still looking for feedback on how well the signposting works for a new user. Let me know if you have thoughts. In the coming week I'll be adding the Groups that you can join (if you wish to be notified when certain parts of the ecosystem are being talked about), and updating our Infra docs on the Discourse hosting. I'll also be preparting a PR to the website for removing mention of the lists (this will not be merged until the 31st). So far all is looking pretty good. I'll update again in a week (yes, I know that's Christmas Eve, I have no life :P) Cheers, Greg -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "foreman-dev" group.

Another thing that was always difficult for the main foreman package was keeping rails versions aligned. Somewhere we decided to drop F24 but not add a newer Fedora release. Now that core is upgrading to Rails 5.1 we could target F27 again. Because of this there is a very annoying gap for freeIPA releases as CentOS is too far behind on FreeIPA and Foreman doesn't support the proxy on the latest supported Fedora version. The proxy should be much easier to support since it has fewer dependencies. The hardest part might be that our current testing is based on booting a Foreman instance with a proxy and see if it registers. If we boot a proxy but not a Foreman we'll need new tests so it's sufficiently covered. We do have pipelines in forklift[1] that deploy a separate proxy - that could be modified to test the proxy on Fedora but deploy foreman on CentOS. Biggest worry there is CI resources but we're working on that. Any idea how to fix this annoying gap all the time ? Help us fix it in the foreman-packaging[2] repository. I'd be happy to help you in getting things going.

[foreman-dev] Releases for EOL Fedora, why ?
Hi, Why are the latest Fedora versions so poorly supported and EOL ones are ? Because of this there is a very annoying gap for freeIPA releases as CentOS is too far behind on FreeIPA and Foreman doesn't support the proxy on the latest supported Fedora version. Any idea how to fix this annoying gap all the time ? Thanks, Matt -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "foreman-dev" group.
