EPEL 7 for ARM
by Jacob Carey 03 Aug '16

03 Aug '16

Hi all, About a year ago, someone posted here and asked if there were plans for CentOS to host a repository for EPEL7 for ARM. I can't find any more recent discussions so my question is - what can I do to help maintain/introduce such an auxiliary repository? Thanks, Jacob

TFTP issue with PXE loaded grubaa64.efi
by Sakar Arora 28 Jul '16

28 Jul '16

Hi Jim, While testing CentOS 7 installation on LS2080a RDB, only on one of setups, we found this strange issue, where grub wasn't able to TFTP the boot images from TFTP server. We use grubaa64.efi provided on CentOS website<http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/os/aarch64/EFI/BOOT/>. >From the tftp server logs we found that the tftp transaction would always stop with a 'timeout' error. A quick search got me this bug<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1508893> logged in Ubuntu bug tracking system. There was a mention of a patch, which is supposed to fix this issue. So, I went ahead and created a grub image with the latest upstream grub source code (git.savannah.gnu.org/grub.git). Using this grub image, fixed the issue with TFTP transfers. But, there's different kind of issue with this new grub image. It doesn't seem to be fully compatible with UEFI PXE boot protocol. When loading grub via UEFI PXE boot, the tftp server address does not get set in the grub environment variables, as was the case with grubaa64.efi from CentOS that we use. Can you share you views on this? Thanks, Sakar

Bug: Missing symlink /etc/redhat-release
by Artem Sidorenko 27 Jul '16

27 Jul '16

Hey Centos ARM list, As requested via twitter today [1], On the current Raspberry Pi 3 image the /etc/redhat-release isn't a symlink to centos-release like on x86, but a file with "Derived from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2 (Source)" [2]. This might lead to errors in the OS auto detection, like with Chef [3]. Regards, Artem [1]: https://twitter.com/CentOS/status/756139559801462785 [2]: https://gist.github.com/artem-sidorenko/d69021c66958ba75df23304909493de3 [3]: https://www.sidorenko.io/blog/2016/06/30/install-chef-on-raspberry-pi-with-…

Devtoolset and other software collections items for AArch64
by Lamar Owen 19 Jul '16

19 Jul '16

I'm running a couple of ODROID-C2's on C7 with the Hardkernel 3.14 aarch64 kernel. As it stands, the C7-provided GCC 4.8.5 will not successfully compile the kernel; the preferred gcc is 4.9.2, the linaro one for cross-compile. Would it be possible to get devtoolset-3 with gcc4.9.2 built for aarch64?

Re: [Arm-dev] NXP more driver patches on LS2080 SoC
by Lijun Pan 15 Jul '16

Hi Jim, This solution is not acceptable to me. You not only used "git apply", but also changed the commit message of the original patch, which explains you were quite diligent, not sloppy. Please use “git am *Lijun’s.patch”, "git rebase -i HEAD~5" and "git push —-force” to correct this error. After you do that, other users can update their git repo via “git remote update —prune;” to force a update. It does not change their commit content but their SHA. I think the author name changes is a very serious problem. Almost nobody looks at the changelog of the .spec. What people cares is the author name in the commit message. So I insist change it back to me (Lijun Pan) at the commit message not just add something in the .spec.
