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.

Distribution update and centosplus
by David Hrbáč 08 Sep '06

08 Sep '06

Hi, number of RPMs in CentosPlus 4.4 is increasing slowly, but is increasing. Although it is mentioned in CentosPlus readme.txt: exclusions, release within a few days, etc. I think that Centos update should have to be released together with CentosPlus. Update would be much more simpler, easier, and transparent. David Hrbáč

iptables-devel in centos 4.4
by David Hrbáč 06 Sep '06

06 Sep '06

Hi, I'd like to ask if iptables-devel package is going to be patched by CentOS team to include all header files. Upstream provider still seems to ignore this bug, even it was fixed in FC5. We need to fix it to simplify automatic build of iptables/kernel modules. Thanks, David Hrbac

yum update behavior plugin
by Karanbir Singh 05 Sep '06

05 Sep '06

hi guys, anyone fancy a shot at writing a yum plugin that would change the yum update behavior a bit. what I'd like to end up with is that if in a yum update process, there is an update to yum itself - that yum update should run first, once done, yum should then restart and run through the rest of yum update. - K -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219@icq

Missing yumgroups.xml from extras in 4.4
by Matt Hyclak 31 Aug '06

31 Aug '06

In the 4.3 tree, there is a yumgroups.xml in the extras/<arch> directory. In 4.4 there is not. Was that intentional or an oversight? Matt -- Matt Hyclak Department of Mathematics Department of Social Work Ohio University (740) 593-1263

tc is not compiled to support htb
by David Hrbáč 31 Aug '06

31 Aug '06

Hi, I have created ticket http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1476 After upgrade to 4.4, tc is not working with htb anymore. Probably tc is not compiled with htb support. iproute-2.6.9-3.EL4.3: Error: Qdisc "htb" is classless. Unknown filter "fw", hence option "flowid" is unparsable iproute-2.6.9-3: works fine workaround: use /sbin/tc from old package Regards, David Hrbáč

I've personally never heard about this before, but it sounds interesting. The first question that comes to mind is - how many user end download clients support this format ? And, if we are to publish these, we'd need some means to generate them automatically, perhaps a hook into the mirror-monitor scripts. But thats a future issue. I am cross posting this to the CentOS-Devel list, so that more people might be able to get involved in the conversation.

Modifying Anaconda install messages
by I-Newell, Geoff 30 Aug '06

30 Aug '06

Hi, As required by the Red Hat EULA (see below), I am in the process of removing all Red Hat trademarks. One persistent item in Anaconda is proving difficult to remove. I was hoping someone on this list may have an idea. When Anaconda starts the graphical install of the OS, in the left most Window, the following text is displayed: Installing Packages ----------------------------- We have gathered all the information needed to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES on the system. It may take a while to install everything, depending on how many packages need to be installed." My question is: How do I remove the text "Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES" from the above text message. I've noticed the Centos guys have managed to get "Centos" in. How? I have searched through the Anaconda SRC RPMs and have found the following files: anaconda-help/help/*.po which contain: "We have gathered all the information needed to install &RHL; on the system. " Somewhere &RHL is expanded to the "Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES". How do I institute this change and then get it into my distribution via "buildinstall"? Many thanks, Geoff P.S. RedHat has asked us to remove all redhat trademarks due to our intended use of the SRC RPMs in our turnkey embedded platform.

sun java rpms in on dev.centos.org
by Greg Swallow - SkyNet 14 Aug '06

14 Aug '06

I just noticed them here (http://dev.centos.org/centos/4/testing/i386/RPMS/) and looked back and didn't see any note of them on this list. I see they are licensed "DLJ 1.1" - this I guess - http://download.java.net/dlj/DLJ-v1.1.txt - which surprisingly looks like they're legal to distribute (with an operating system). Is that correct? What does CentOS plan to do with the rpms? Can someone give some information on what stage of testing they're at and anything else to know about them please. Thanks, Greg
