This sounds like fun, I'm wanting to start contributing to the CentOS project and this seems like it'd be a great way for me to start. I would love to be involved with this SIG.

DVD split media
by Karanbir Singh 03 Jul '14

03 Jul '14

Hi As in CentOS-6, I think we should skip the CD isos; there is little point in that ( but we should do the minimal ISO, lets keep conversation about that on its own thread ). The main distro is just a hint over 6.6GB, that means we cant really put all the stuff into a single DVD[1]; so we need to do the splits. In the past, we've done multiple installs making sure that all the installable components from the installer's groups, in english atleast, are all on DVD#1 and the rest can goto DVD#2. I suspect that strategy will work here as well, and does someone want to give it a shot and come up with a list of rpms that are installable via the installer. If anyone is wondering about the rest: yes, there are rpms included in the distro, hosted in the DVD's that are not installable from the groups available to the user at install time. They can certainly be installed from kickstart, but the general assumption is that people doing those sort of installs are likely not doing them from DVD media. Also, there seems to be interest in jidgo; has anyone worked with that in the past ? and whats to help us get that setup as well ? Regards [1]: maybe we should do a single large 6.6GB ISO as well, and have it available only on torrents, for people who might want or have access to that large format media, or people who just want a copy of the primary repo without using rsync. Thoughts ? -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

Introducing Centpkg (Comments requested)
by Brian Stinson 02 Jul '14

02 Jul '14

Greetings everyone, I spent a little bit of time to see if pyrpkg (https://fedorahosted.org/rpkg/) could help with the "building RPMS from a git repo" workflow. Pyrpkg includes methods that can interact with git (cloning, downloading sources etc), koji, and the local mock/rpmbuild build processes among other things. You may know pyrpkg better as the backend for fedpkg in Fedora. I have a very bare-bones configuration at https://bitbucket.org/bstinsonmhk/centpkg that I thought I would share. Is the community interested in such a tool? If so I'm happy to keep working on it, perhaps with the help of others who are interested? Cheers!

el7_0 as dist tag (release mismatch in koji)
by Bojtos Péter 02 Jul '14

02 Jul '14

Dear All, I'm trying to recompile RHEL packages to i686. Some RHEL source packages has the dist tag el7_0 in it. How do you handle it, when recompiling? Do you keep it by redefining the dist macro? The spec file contains %{dist}, which comes from the /etc/rpm/macros.dist. It contains el7 on RHEL installations. How should I avoid release mismatch in koji? Thank you, Peter Bojtos

once again: epel VS Centos
by Fred Smith 29 Jun '14

29 Jun '14

Before I take this to the EPEL folks, I'd appreciate a sanity check: I did a full reinstall of C7 on my C7 vm a couple days ago (to resolve the caatch-22 on updating the kernel), and subsequent to that I cannot install MATE from epel. "yum group install mate-desktop" gives me these errors (trimmed from all the non-error stuff): Error: Package: mate-control-center-1.8.1-1.el7.x86_64 (epel) Requires: libXss.so.1()(64bit) Error: Package: fortune-mod-1.99.1-17.el7.x86_64 (epel) Requires: librecode.so.0()(64bit) Error: Package: caja-image-converter-1.8.0-1.el7.x86_64 (epel) Requires: ImageMagick Error: Package: mate-screensaver-1.8.0-2.el7.x86_64 (epel) Requires: libXss.so.1()(64bit) Error: Package: atril-libs-1.8.0-2.el7.x86_64 (epel) Requires: libt1.so.5()(64bit) Error: Package: beesu-2.7-19.el7.x86_64 (epel) Requires: usermode-gtk Error: Package: atril-libs-1.8.0-2.el7.x86_64 (epel) Requires: libkpathsea.so.6()(64bit) Error: Package: caja-1.8.0-2.el7.x86_64 (epel) Requires: gamin this did not occur a week or so earlier when I installed Mate from epel on an earlier version of the c7 RC. I don't know where to find those packages, either. With only yum configs for C7 and epel, those packages don't seem to be available. Am I just being too impatient and should instead wait for the rest of the linux-sphere to catch up with C7? thanks! -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex(a)fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- "For the word of God is living and active.

Install and authentication
by Larry Brigman 27 Jun '14

27 Jun '14

I just finished my net install here of latest. I'm missing the options to select the type of authentication. It is either local or Enterprise. It finds the domain and I have a domain account but it is trying to create a domain account. Since I wasn't given the option to attach the machine to the domain, the login fails. I also don't get NIS/LDAP/etc... options to configure on the first boot.

Adding the EPEL release package to the extras repository
by Jim Perrin 27 Jun '14

27 Jun '14

In the discussions for putting CentOS 7 together, the board's agreed to make the epel-release package available in the centos-extras repository as part of the el7 build. What this means: The EPEL repository will NOT be enabled by default, but it will be available. Following an install, an admin would be able to 'yum install epel-release'. Following the success of that command, they could then use epel normally. In order to accomplish this without having yum complain, we will re-sign the epel-release package with the centos key. The EPEL gpg keys will remain intact in the file included, so yum will prompt and import normally on the first package installed via EPEL. Are there any objections to this before we execute? -- Jim Perrin The CentOS Project | http://www.centos.org twitter: @BitIntegrity | GPG Key: FA09AD77

c7-updates repo on buildlogs.centos.org
by Johnny Hughes 27 Jun '14

27 Jun '14

The structure of the build repos on buildlogs.centos.org are as follows: RC and GA build trees: c7.00.02/ c7.00.03/ c7-00.04/ CentOS 7 Extras: c7-extras/ CentOS 7 Plus: c7-plus/ <==Not there yet, will be when we build the plus kernel later today CentOS 7 Updates: c7-updates/ So, everything that goes on the CentOS 7 ISOs (and are the same versions as the RHEL7 GA release) will come from c7.00.02, c7.00.03, and c7-00.04 (except the actual secureboot signed content that KB mentioned earlier). Anything that is an updated package form those on the ISOs will come from c7-updates. The centos/ directory is the actual testing tree(s) for the open qa process and will eventually go away once we have a GA release .. however, the build repos (which are actually the staged repos used for building the packages via mock) and listed above will remain indefinitely to show the RPMs, SRPMs, and logs from mock used to produce CentOS 7. Thanks, Johnny Hughes

[PATCH] allow get_sources.sh hash verification to work with other hashes
by Tyler Parsons 27 Jun '14

27 Jun '14

The existing hash verification patch only allows get_sources.sh to work with sha1. I've found other repositories, most notably centos-release use larger hash sizes. This patch should allow for a wider variety of hashes to be used & subsequently verified.

CentOS 7 Public QA: CentOSPlus kernel available for testing
by Akemi Yagi 27 Jun '14

27 Jun '14

The first version of the centosplus kernel for 7 is now available for testing. The kernel version is 3.10.0-123.el7 (GA kernel). You can download it from: http://buildlogs.centos.org/c7-plus/kernel-plus/ Or use yum with a .repo file similar to: [c7-kernel-plus] name=CentOS Open QA - CentOSPlus baseurl=http://buildlogs.centos.org/c7-plus/kernel-plus enabled=1 gpgcheck=0 Up to CentOS 6, the centosplus kernel has been distributed with a repotag '.centos.plus'. The 7 version has the same tag but the name is now 'kernel-plus'. Its name space is separate from the distro kernel. This was done to keep with other kernel names such as 'kernel-xen' (being planned for 7) and 'kernel-ml' (available for 7), etc. The C7 plus kernel should work with Secure Boot enabled just like the distro kernel. Extra features enabled in the config file include some network adapters, BusLogic, IPX, Appletalk, and ReiserFS. TOMOYO and AppArmor are also enabled but SeLinux remains the default. Please test the following: - Install/uninstall in UEFI mode (with or without Secure Boot enabled) or in BIOS mode. - Install the -devel, -headers, -tools etc packages. - Load [and use] modules/features that are unique to the plus kernel. - and so on. Feedback greatly appreciated. Happy testing! Akemi
