will there be freeipa-server packages ?

Hi all, First major kudo's for porting centos to arm devices. I've been looking forward to run centos on my arm devices for some time now, and have been watching this project with great interest for some time now. I've reinstalled my rpi2 with the latest image and all went smooth out of the box. No editing/hacks needed, just the filesystem resize which worked exactly as described. No issues whatsoever, really great work ppl. I was wondering if the freeipa-server package would also be made available in the arm repos. With only two adjustments in the timeouts I managed to get that one working on my rpi2 running fedora. Cheers Rob Verduijn p.s. for the curious ppl regarding the timeouts: before the installation : adjust /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ipa/lib/constants.py --> wijzig startup_timeout from 300 to 600 after the installation add "startup_timeout=600" to /etc/ipa/default.conf also you need to apply a HUGE amount of patience for installing, configuring and (re-)booting the rpi2 with freeipa server (as the 600 second timeout already implies)

This is the image: http://people.centos.org/hughesjr/armv7hl/cubietruck/images/. Is that correct? If so, I'm happy to give it a go and report back. Jeff

CubieTruck Plus (Cubieboard5) image

Hi Everyone, I picked up a board CubieTruck Plus (Cubieboard5). The stock image does not boot or I did something wrong with 7z and dd (http://dl.cubieboard.org/model/Cubietruck-plus/image/linux/linaro-desktop/V…). I want to try another image, and I see Cubieboard mentioned on occasion. I searched the archive, but did not find anything specific for the CubieTruck Plus. RM mentioned the board was shipping on January 6 (http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/arm-dev/2016-January/001566.html). I'm especially interested in the octa-core with 2 GB of RAM. It should speed up my ARM testing by a factor of about 3 because I can run 'make -j N'. With a single/dual core and less than 1GB of RAM, I found I cannot drive make like that due to OOMs. Would someone be able to point me to an image for the CubieTruck Plus (Cubieboard5)? Thanks in advance.

Hummingboard

Hello All, this is my first post on this mailing list. In our organization we have just over 100 thinclients. One day I thought: wouldn't it be great if we could replace them with Rasberry Pi's? After experimenting with that I thought: this arm is great, cheap, silent and shiny new. So I was thinking: I need something stronger than the Rasberry Pi. Maybe I can replace some light servers as well. So I bought a Hummingboard Edge from Solidrun and had it shipped from Israel. The strongest model I could find. Here are the specs: https://www.solid-run.com/freescale-imx6-family/hummingboard/hummingboard-s… Can anybody help me get Centos7 running on that? So far I tried the CentOS-Userland-7-armv7hl-Minimal-1511-RaspberryPi2.img.xz and the CentOS-7-aarch64.img.xz I haven't tested in any detail so far but both showed nothing on the screen. My ultimate goal would be to use Hummingboards with Centos7 on them as Ovirt or Kubernetes nodes. Thanks for any advise. Greetings, Johan
