Language lists
by Karanbir Singh 05 Feb '07

05 Feb '07

Hi Guys, We've been looking at the idea of starting off local language lists starting with German, Spanish and Portuguese. These, since we have had people ask for lists and we feel there are people around who can help moderate and monitor. While some work has already been done and there are already some ideas floating around, I'd like to ask everyone here on centos-devel what they think about this and if any suggestions they might have. One thing that would be really good is if we can somehow create the environment for local language / regional centos support groups to get started, and then use that common pool to work with all associated resources ( eg, regional / language lists, wiki, web forums, related irc channels (?) etc ) - KB -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219@icq

CentOS5 virtual machine image
by Nils Toedtmann 02 Feb '07

02 Feb '07

Dear CentOS developers, there is a demand for ready-to-boot virtual machine images for distros like CentOS. Since i am an afinicado of CentOS and Xen, i would like to build and maintain a CentOS5-image. Is centos.org interested in hosting such a sub-project? Testing and tasting CentOS would get much easier, it would help making CentOS more popular. Planned features: * support for several VMMs (Xen3, VMware player/workstation/server, VirtualBox, UML, KVM, ...; maybe even VirtualPC ;-) * Click&Run for win32-users: 1. download & install vmplayer 2. download & unzip CentOS-desktop-image.zip 3. double-click "centos.vmx" * sparse flat disk image (most VMMs support this image format) containing two or three partitions (swap, /, maybe /boot) * kernels and initrds to run the image fully and para-virtualized * Firstboot script (setting root-password and hostname) * VMM config files, at least for the most popular VMMs (Xen/para, Xen/HVM, VMware player) * Documentation how to boot the image with those VMMs. Special notes on kernel-xen and virt-manager (CentOS5, FC6) * clean: never booted, empty /{tmp,var/{log,spool/mail,cache/*}} * all changes to the pristine image (like customized /etc/fstab, /etc/X11/xorg.conf) properly documented Different flavors: * arch: i386; maybe x86_64 * image: flat disk sparse; maybe flat filesystem sparse * scope: "minimal" (networking, sshd, yum, vim, cron, syslog); "standard desktop"; maybe "standard server" * archive: sparse-aware .tar.bz2; .zip for win32 hosts RoadMap: * wait for CentOS5-beta2 ;-) * create and post a minimal CentOS5-beta2 i386 image with xen- and vmware configs, wait for reviews/bugreport * create and post a standard desktop CentOS5-beta2 i386 image, wait for reviews/bugreport * if there are enough positive reports, repeat for CentOS5-final * release when/if centos.org is pleased with the (bugfixed) images Are you interested in such a project? I am eager for comments. Regards, /nils.

CentOS 5 ArtWork
by Karanbir Singh 19 Jan '07

19 Jan '07

Hi Guys, There has been some work going on with the CentOS-5 Artwork stuff on the wiki ( url : http://wiki.centos.org/ArtWork ). Now is the time when we are asking for more feedback and larger community involvement. Also, I want to make sure that people understand we are not limited to using only one set of the artwork. We would need to use one default, but further sets might get added into the artwork packages for post install user options. - KB -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219@icq

New nx/freenx RPMS for CentOS-4 i386 in the Testing Repo
by Johnny Hughes 09 Jan '07

09 Jan '07

There are new versions of nx and freenx for CentOS-4 i386 in the testing repo: freenx-0.5.0-11.c4.i386.rpm nx-2.1.0-2.c4.i386.rpm I am using this on 3 servers and it seems at least as stable as the previous versions. These RPMS roll in the latest nx-2.1.x server components from nomachine.org (current CentOS-4 version has nx-1.5.x server components). The full screen patch was retained across versions and seems to work OK here as well. If you are using the CentOS version of NX / FreeNX, please test this version and provide feedback on this list. Barring any show stopping negative feedback, these RPMS will replace the current versions in CentOS extras in 2 weeks. Testing repository .repo file: http://dev.centos.org/centos/4/CentOS-Testing.repo Packages can be download manually here: http://dev.centos.org/centos/4/testing/i386/RPMS/ Thanks, Johnny Hughes

kernel-2.6.9-42.37.EL.c4test is available for i686 and x86_64 in the Testing Repo
by Johnny Hughes 09 Jan '07

09 Jan '07

All, I needed to build kernel-2.6.9-42.37.EL.c4test for this bug: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1634 So ... that new kernel is available for others to try as well from the testing repository. It has Xen kernels too. It is not too much different than the 2.6.9-42.35 kernel released on Dec 26th by us to the testing repo (a lot of dm fixes that might help the above bug, which is why I built it). Here is a list of the changes from 2.6.9-42.35 to 2.6.9-42.37: * Wed Jan 03 2007 Jason Baron <jbaron(a)redhat.com> [2.6.9-42.37] -add qlogic iscsi driver (Mike Christie) [180363] -fix laptop shutdown behavior when closing lid (Jim Paradis) [154061] -s390: qeth driver fixes (Jan Glauber) [104646 200166 202047 212176] -add IBM Advanced Management Module 2 to the whitelist for USB storage for devices with multiple LUNs (Konrad Rzeszutek) [196809] -serial fifo fixes (Alan Cox) [168845] -update SCSI blacklist for HP and SEAGATE Tape Devices (Chip Coldwell) [197381] -fix oops in md device stop code (Doug Ledford) [199304] -fix race condition in sys_mincore() (Doug Chapman) [180663] {CVE-2006-4814} -fix console when no "console=" arguments are specified (Chris Lalancette) [220949] -fix oops bug in cdev_put() (Doug Ledford) [164649] -eClipz: CAS call crashing firmware (Janice Girouard) [220486] * Fri Dec 22 2006 Jason Baron <jbaron(a)redhat.com> [2.6.9-42.36] -s390: fix panic in do_sync_write()/do_sync_read() (Jan Glauber) [196348] -tg3: update to 3.64-rh (John Linville) [196786 198003 202063] -dm: add ioctl support for mapped devices (Milan Broz) [168801] -fix "Hardware P-state driver for AMD processors" for up kernel (Bhavana Nagendra) -dm mirror: fix deadlock in kmirrord when dirty log on mirror itself (Milan Broz) [186950] -dm: store and use md pointer in every table (Milan Broz) [199622] -dm: fix overwriting of extra slot in bi_io_vec (Milan Broz) [219615] -dm: fix suspend error path (Milan Broz) [219616] -dm multipath: rr path order is inverted (Milan Broz) [219630] -dm: add common biosets code (Milan Broz) [215939] -dm mirror: remove trailing space from table (Milan Broz) [215941] -revert: nfs: fix permission handling for truncate calls ---------------------- This is a test Kernel ... use at your own risk :-) ---------------------- Testing Repo info: http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories Thanks, Johnny Hughes
