time stray on the latest centos release: 2.6.9-11.EL
by Blair Lowe 13 Dec '06

13 Dec '06

Hi, The clock on my laptop seems to be straying dramatically from the real time even if I turn off ntpd. Could it be the clock applet itself? After I run rdate with ntpd off, it starts to stray right away. This started in the last two weeks after doing many updates. Has anyone else seen this, or even fixed it? Thanks in advance, Blair.

A patched kdepim package(for CentOS 4.2) for CJK user
by dlion 01 Nov '05

01 Nov '05

Hi, all I have build a patched kdepim package for CJK user. More specifically, Knode is patched to support locale-dependent groupname encoding. CJK means Chinese, Japanese and Korean. They all need multi-byte charset(MBCS). A RFC requires that all newsgroup groupnames are encoded in UTF-8. Most newsreaders under UNIX are designed this way. But due to Microsoft products' feature(or call it bug), locale-dependent groupname encoding is the de facto standard in some CJK area. This package changes knode's behavior from UTF-8 to locale-dependent encoding, and will be helpful to CJK users. Non-CJK users probably will not need this package. And this package replaces the official kdepim package. Therefore, I think this package should go to centosplus directory. The knode patch is not written by me. I only build this kdepim package. It is from a chinese Linux distribution called Magic Linux. You can get the original patch from http://www.magiclinux.org/dev/old-1.2/cd1/SRPMS/kdepim-3.3.2-1mgc.src.rpm The original package is GPLed. So this patch is available under GPL. I, and some other users, have tested this patch, and it works. I hope this package can be merged into the CentOS repository(centosplus directory). And, I do not have a stable and secure space to store this package, I request a space(for example, a ftp account or a web space) at least 15M bytes large, so I can upload the SRPM.

3.6 Delay?
by C.M. Connelly 31 Oct '05

31 Oct '05

What's the status of CentOS 3.6? Red Hat released their update 6 to RHEL 3 on September 28. I updated our RHEL box a couple of weeks ago and things seem to be running acceptably well. The last thing I see in the archives is Johnny Hughes talking about mirror load from October 13 (and pointing out that the 4.2 release was well within the two-week time limit promised in the CentOS FAQ; the 3.6 update has clearly missed that deadline). I;m not expecting anything earthshaking in 3.6, but I am curious about whether the delay is due to no one remembering to flip the symlink or something more serious. If you need more testing, let me know and I can update some of my lab machines manually and listen for complaints. In any case, your work is much appreciated, especially as it's allowed me to stick with a Red-Hat--based distro and not redo all the work I'd done to handle installs.

Hi all, i recently decide to use CentOS 4.1 and i find out that there isn't a Firebird RPM. So, i volunteer to make and maintain Firebird RPM's for the CentOS. Currently i am working ( among others ) in IBPhoenix www.ibphoenix.com, which provides commercial support for the Firebird and Interbase RDBMS's, and i participate as an administrator on the Firebird Project www.firebirdsql.org. If you agree, can you inform me with the procedures i need to follow to accomplish that ? Regards, -- Dimitrios Chr. Ioannidis
