CentOS-4/alpha 4.1beta is there to play
by Pasi Pirhonen 26 Jun '05

26 Jun '05

Hi, I've always been kind of on/off with alpha. Remember making some kind of debian/alpha installer back -97ish. Lately (like past 2 years), i've been compiling SRPMS on alpha too from time to time. Most of my alpha hardware was pretty much ancient crap, so i wasn't quite confident pushing anything out to public as i wasn't able to test even if EV6 would be ok. Little over week ago i got a AlphaServer ES45, which was the turning point on this all (i thank you whom gave me this box once again even tho i cannot reveal any names). There is lot to personally thank for AlphaCore project as some of the patches i got directly from that work, would have been nasty for me to spot out. I just don't feel that building FC3 for alpha is enought and will be long term maintainable. That's where CentOS-4/alpha should kick in as the basic codebase should be maintained next 7ish years. There are modified SRPMS beoynd the normal CentOS mods, but it's some 30ish of those now, so it's only really few of them all. AVAILABILITY: http://beta.centos.org/centos/4.1beta/isos/alpha/ - which does have ISO-images and .torrent files for CD/DVD-images. - DVD-image does contain full binaries + source - ISOS labeled 'bin' are binaries only - ISOS labeles 'src' are the sources http://beta.centos.org/centos/4.1beta/os/ - which is unpacked, installable tree. http://beta.centos.org/centos/4.1beta/ - generally as this is the point when the yum config should point for updates etc. BETA RELEASE INFO: It ain't perfect. There are lot to improve still. I just wanted to make this public beta now so there might be some community interest/help for making it really smooth. One thing woth of mentining is that CFLAGS have been '-mtune=ev6' for all the packages, that does obey normal rpmbuild process. I am not sure what the impact is in real life, but IMO it won't make a really slow hardware any _slower_ and might even a little faster for anything useable (no pun intended. 'useable' may vary from person to person :) EXPECTED FINAL RELEASE TIME: I'd expect this to be bit much polished up time of CentOS 4.2 will be reality. At least it's where i am aming for final release. TESTED PLATFORMS: - a quad-1GHz ES45 w/ Radeon 9250 (PCI) - a AlphaStation 255/233 (text mode install) - a AlphaStation 1000 (text mode install) - ES45 was trested with console=ttyS0 too from the DVD KNOWN ISSUES: - The kernel isn't stock same one it's in other CentOS-4 releases - The php was replaced with new one - compat-glibc isn't there yet. Neither the later one or the Compaq release Redhat 7.2 one. I've patched the compat-glibc-2.3.2-95.30axp.src.rpm to build, but it was too late to include it to ISOs as i haven't had much time to test it and there is not real needs for this. - anaconda is putting the 'rhgb quiet' on command line even after text installtion, which might just crash the boot as graphics we're asked for first place. - the DVD isn't working at least on my ES45 with IDE-drive. SCSI is fine. I have to look about mkisofs ordering, because that might just be so that those needed files are 'unreachable' for SRM w/ IDE. - the aboot menu lacks the predefined selection for 'text askmethod' for forced text mode instalaltion from net for example. Forgot that one. - SELinux rulesets aren't quite right for everything, so disabling/making it warn level lets it boot better now on installation. - I've built some of the packages by disabling the checks at buildtime, so there might be 'non-working' software. namely gmp, subversion from memory. INVOLVING: - join the mailing lists at http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-devel - mail me directly to upi(a)iki.fi - more information from http://www.centos.org/ That's about it. I am sure i've already forgotten much i ment to say on this beta release announcement, but now i do push send and worry things later more. -- Pasi Pirhonen - upi(a)iki.fi - http://iki.fi/upi/

CentOS 4.1 is now released and is set to be the default CentOS 4 version
by Johnny Hughes 17 Jun '05

17 Jun '05

CentOS 4.1 is now released for all the current CentOS 4 arches (i386, x86_64, ia64). CentOS 4.1 has now been set to be the default version for CentOS 4. These changes are currently syncing the the Mirrors and it may take up to 24 hours for some external public mirrors to get synced. The mirrors at http://mirror.centos.org/ should be updated within a couple hours. When all the syncs are complete, you will be upgraded automatically from version 4.0 to version 4.1 they next time you run: yum upgrade Thanks to Pasi Pirhonen (blahee on IRC, ia64 maintainer) and Karanbir Singh (z00dax on IRC, helped greatly with i386 and x86_64 arches) for this release.

CentOS 4.1 ia64 is now final
by Pasi Pirhonen 17 Jun '05

17 Jun '05

Hi, The short version: - no more custom kernel - CD-version available too Longer version: The separate announcement for ia64 is due the fact that initial 4.0 version was distributed with customised kernel. That was done because i had to fix the serial console installation on rx1600 box which was not working on upstream vendor kernel. Later upstream vendor has made patch for it too (much more elegant than mine), so the custom kernel is not needed on any system i know of. Frakly i do test only on rx1600/2600 as that is the hardware i do have. Another change is that i made CD-images too this time, so if there really is someone needing those, now those are available too. It never was about 'those are hard to make'. I didn't think those would be needed and leaving the CD-images out, saves few gigs space. I am pleased to see that someone at least downloads the ia64 version too. It's not mainstream as i386, but i386 is boring :) The sources are available from mirrors and i hope there will be one unified SRPMS DVD-image soon too. Regards, your ia64, s390 and s390x maintainer -- Pasi Pirhonen - upi(a)iki.fi - http://iki.fi/upi/

CentOS 4 x86_64 - CentOS 4.1 x86_64 is available
by Johnny Hughes 17 Jun '05

17 Jun '05

CentOS 4.1 x86_64 is now available on the mirrors. CentOS 4.1 is just a re-spun ISO containing all updates through June, 10th 2005, (include all those released in EL4 Update 1). If you already have CentOS 4.0, downloading the new ISOs is not required to update to CentOS 4.1. The ISOs can be downloaded via Bittorrent from this directory: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4.1/isos/x86_64/ (or your closest mirror) You can upgrade CentOS 4.0 to 4.1 manually now by changing the file /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo file and replacing $releasever with 4.1 on all the repos and running "yum upgrade". If you don't want to manually edit anything now, in about 1 week CentOS-4.1 x86_64 will automatically be made the default version and you will be upgraded when you run yum any time after that. Here are the CentOS-4.1 release notes detailing differences between CentOS-4.1 and the publically available upstream sources: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4.1/os/x86_64/RELEASE-NOTES-en.html -------------------------------------------------------- The below Release Notes are provided {and copyrighted} by Red Hat®,Inc. The CentOS Project redistributes these original works (in their unmodified form) as a reference for CentOS-4.1. CentOS-4.1 is built from publicly available, open source SRPMs. The CentOS Project is not in any way affiliated with the provider of the open source SRPMS. http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/docs/html/release-notes/as-x86/RELEASE-NO… ------------------------------------------------------- Another announcement will be made when CentOS-4.1 becomes the default version for all updates.

CentOS 3.5 is now final
by Lance Davis 16 Jun '05

16 Jun '05

CentOS 3.5 is now the default version of CentOS 3.x for all architectures. Once all mirrors have synced users running yum update will automatically be updated to version 3.5. This is equivalent to Redhat Enterprise Linux Version 3 Update 5 with some extra updates rolled in. The number of extra updates depend on the architecture, with x86_64 being the latest produced and thus most up to date. The single CD server iso is still at release 3.4 and work is being undertaken to produce the 3.5 version in the next several days. Thanks go to Tru Hynh and Pasi Pirhonen for their work in producing this release. Lance
