time stray on the latest centos release: 2.6.9-11.EL
by Blair Lowe 14 Dec '06

14 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.

SPARC build machines perhaps available soon
by Lamar Owen 05 Sep '05

05 Sep '05

PARI has been donated three large Enterprise servers; an E6500, and E6000, and an E5500. I am in process of arranging shipping and pickup, perhaps as soon as next week. Once delivered, I will be setting these beasts up and checking them out, building drive bays, etc. The idea is to install Aurora and bring it up to 1.92, then see abut the buildsystem for CentOS SPARC. The 6500 is destined to replace our Ultra 30 e-mail server, and might even become our webserver as well as a potential buildfarm box for CentOS/SPARC and/or Aurora. Just wanted to keep people updated on this; exciting! -- Lamar Owen Director of Information Technology Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute 1 PARI Drive Rosman, NC 28772 (828)862-5554 www.pari.edu

Rebuild of glibc fails on CentOS 4.1
by Michael Paesold 22 Aug '05

22 Aug '05

Hi, I hope this is the appropriate list for the given issue. I was in the process of installing Xen on CentOS 4.1, when I ran into the problem that I could not rebuild glibc. (Xen needs a glibc compiled with -mno-tls-direct-seg-refs). The problem is that I cannot rebuild glibc at all (even without any modifications). The build fails during checks (I think it's ntpl) and the build process hangs. There is a defunc ld-linux.so.2 process. If I kill that one, the build goes on and creates rpms, but I guess that glibc must be broken anyway. The check logs give me no clue what could have happened. The problem was already reported in the CentOS forum on 2005/6/21: http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=1159 What I did was: * Install minimum CentOS 4.1 from ISOs * update the system using yum * install the toolchain to compile glibc (yum install gd-devel libpng-devel zlib-devel texinfo libselinux-devel gcc gcc-c++ rpm-build + deps) * Created an rpm-root for a regular user ("%_topdir /home/mip/rpm" in .rpmmacros) * as that user: rpm -i glibc-2.3.4-2.9.src.rpm * rpmbuild -ba --target i686 rpm/SPECS/glibc.spec Could you please tell me... * if I am doing something completely wrong? * if you can successfully rebuild glibc with an up-to-date system? * how to find out what really goes wrong here. Thank you very much for any help! Best Regards, Michael Paesold

About the translation of the sentence
by Masato Zembutsu 05 Aug '05

05 Aug '05

I didn't have a reply though I did inquiry more than the past Web form. Therefore, it lets me do inquiry even in this ML. I am a linux user in Japan. The information resource of CentOS in on-line system is limited in Japan. It was a matter of last week to know about myself CentOS. I think that Japanese information about CentOS will be spread. So, is it permitted translating information on your Web site into Japanese and introducing it to the public? I want to translate following pages. http : //www.centos.org/modules/smartfaq/ http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=2 http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=3 http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=5 Please tell me if it is necessary about the limitation and the indication before I introduce information to the public. I aim at spreading information on CentOS purely. Though it is introduced to the public on Web, the information which I translated is not a commercial purpose. I keep a fair position by the neutral position to CentOS. Is there a problem in the translation and opening to the public? Would you give me translation and public permission? Or, is permission unnecessary to the translation of the document? I will introduce a sentence to the public without a problem.

Circular build dependencies in RHCS packages

"There's a hole in the bucket, Dear Liza, Dear Liza, ..." I'm trying to build all the SRPMS from http://www.linux911.cl/GFS-CENTOS4/, and have found a real dependency mess, including some circular dependencies.

CentOS CS & GFS packages
by John Newbigin 02 Aug '05

02 Aug '05

As there seems to be a desire for official CentOS CS & GFS packages, we should decide how these are going to be stored on the mirror. The simple method is probably directories under {3,4} called {CS,GFS}. (ie. new directories alongside extras, centosplus etc). Can these directories easily be shared out to developers? I probably need a new key to sign my packages, unless someone with the 3 key wants to resign them after I sign then with the 2 key. Given the low volume of updates in these trees, it might be easier if someone with 3 access wants to manually take my packages and put them into the 3 tree. Also, how does stuff get into the vault? Is this automatic. -- John Newbigin Computer Systems Officer Faculty of Information and Communication Technologies Swinburne University of Technology Melbourne, Australia http://www.ict.swin.edu.au/staff/jnewbigin
