Administrivia: Spam getting through to service-discuss
by Jeremy Stanley 01 Oct '23

01 Oct '23

Sorry everybody, it looks like someone posted some spam through the web interface today. I deleted their threads from the list archive and set all further posts from their account to discard automatically, but if we see more abuses along these lines we may need to change the default moderation method for new users (so that their posts will be held by default until a moderator confirms they're sending legitimate messages, and then switches them individually to unmoderated). I'll try to keep a close eye on this. Users asked us for mailing lists that are easier for newcomers to post to, but unfortunately that means mailing lists that are easier for spammers to post to as well. :/ -- Jeremy Stanley

RE: [Starlingx-discuss] Mailman v3 migration for StarlingX mailing lists completed
by Khalil, Ghada 26 Sep '23

Hello, Is this link to the starlingx list archives still expected to work? Or is there a new link? https://lists.starlingx.io/pipermail/starlingx-discuss/2023-September/date.… I don't see any new email messages in the archives since the migration was done. Thanks, Ghada -----Original Message----- From: Jeremy Stanley <fungi(a)yuggoth.org> Sent: Thursday, September 21, 2023 12:33 PM To: starlingx-discuss(a)lists.starlingx.io Subject: [Starlingx-discuss] Mailman v3 migration for StarlingX mailing lists completed CAUTION: This email comes from a non Wind River email account! Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. The OpenDev Collaboratory systems administrators have completed migration of the lists.starlingx.io mailing list site to the Mailman 3.3.8 server. Please remember these key takeaways: * Because this is on a new server, there are new IP addresses from which list mail will be originating: 162.209.78.70 and 2001:4800:7813:516:be76:4eff:fe04:5423 * Anyone wishing to adjust their list subscriptions, or handle moderation or list configuration after the migration, needs to use the Sign Up button on the Web page to create a new account; it will be linked to your imported roles as soon as you confirm by following a URL from an E-mail message the server sends you, and is global for all sites on the server so you only need to do this once * The software providing Web front-ends for list management and archive browsing is entirely new in Mailman v3 and therefore has a much different appearance, though we've added appropriate redirects and frozen copies of old archives in order to accommodate existing hyperlinks If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to follow up on the service-discuss mailing list or find us in the #opendev channel on the OFTC IRC network. -- Jeremy Stanley

Zuul regex deprecation [action required]
by James E. Blair 21 Sep '23

21 Sep '23

Hi, Zuul is making a change that may require action from developers on projects hosted in OpenDev. Here is the release note regarding the change: > Regular expressions using Python syntax are deprecated in favor of RE2 > syntax instead, for additional speed and safety. Negative lookahead > assertions may be replaced using the negate keyword. See Regular > Expressions[1] for more information. > > If Zuul detects a regular expression using Python syntax that is not > supported by RE2, it will register a configuration syntax > warning. These may be viewed on the configuration errors page in the > web interface. > > A future version of Zuul will remove Python regex support completely > and these warnings will become errors. [1] https://zuul-ci.org/docs/zuul/latest/project-config.html#regex It's easy to see if your project on OpenDev is affected. Each tenant has a page where the current configuration errors and warnings are displayed. Visit any page in Zuul for your tenant, and if there is a bell icon in the top right, click on that. For example, the configuration error page for the OpenStack tenant is here: https://zuul.opendev.org/t/openstack/config-errors On that page, look for the "Regex Deprecation" warnings. You can expand the warning to see exactly the file and line number where the warning is found. Almost all of the issues identified so far have been due to the fact that RE2 does not support negative lookahead assertions. In the past, we used these a lot to say things like "run this job on any branch except master" with regexes like "(?!master)". Because this is such a common pattern, we added a feature in Zuul to make this easy. A configuration like: branches: "^(?!master).*$" can now be written as: branches: regex: "^master$" negate: true This simply negates the specified regex. It's not an exact translation of the original regex, but is slightly improved and to the point: anything but exactly "master". Please take a moment and check to see if your project has instances of this warning, and go ahead and fix it. Even if there are a lot of instances, they are likely to be very similar and correcting them may take only a few minutes. Here are two changes where we update the central configuration that applies to all projects: https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/project-config/+/893702 https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/openstack-zuul-jobs/+/893792 These provide examples of how to make changes for several common cases; you may be able to simply copy what was done in those changes. If you have any trouble adapting existing regexes to the new format, please contact us in #opendev to discuss the issue. We may be able to find a simple solution, or if there is another special case that is difficult to handle, we may be able to add support to Zuul to mitigate the issue. If you use "update-regexes" as a topic name, it will help people keep track of progress and possible issues. The Zuul project has not yet set a date for when support for the old syntax will be removed. I expect it to be on the order of months, which should give folks plenty of time to make the necessary changes. But please do so early so that we have time to deal with any issues. Thanks, Jim (on behalf of the OpenDev team)
