centosplus Support at ATrpms!
by Axel Thimm 21 Nov '07

21 Nov '07

Hi, I started supporting centosplus kernels directly at ATrpms, e.g. all kmdls for C4 and C5 plus (latest) kernels are being built. I would call this service experimental still, as I had some feedback by some users, but not nearly enough to make any more serious announcement. Also I'm missing the src.rpm for the centosplus kernel from 2.6.18-8.1.15. The binary packages are there, just not the src.rpm. Maybe that's not that usrgent, as there will probably be a -55 centosplus kernel soon, I guess. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net

problem about customizing CentOS
by Hao Xu 20 Nov '07

20 Nov '07

Hi! I was trying to build a customized CentOS 5 with all the update rpms integrated, on a CentOS 5 box. I have installed anaconda, anaconda-runtime, bogl, booty, netpbm, netpbm-progs and mkisofs in the building box. The CentOS 5 installation of the building box is fully updated. The following is what I did: 1) Create repo data # createrepo -g comps.xml -c /tmp /centos/5-respin/os/i386/CentOS Repo data was generated all right. 2) buildinstall # /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/buildinstall --pkgorder os/i386/pkgorder.txt \ --version 5 --product CentOS --release CentOS-5-respin \ --prodpath CentOS /centos/5-respin/os/i386 >/tmp/buildinstall.err 2>&1 Here's the output of buildinstall: Running buildinstall... /centos/5-respin/os/i386/buildinstall.tree.4822 /centos/5-respin /centos/5-respin Building images...

Spec for Func
by Stephen Nelson-Smith 14 Nov '07

14 Nov '07

Attached is my spec for func 0.0.13 for CentOS 4 and 5. I've built both of these today and have them in production. The spec checks as clean with spectool. The key dependency is python-setuptools, which I have in my engineering repository, but is in kb's extras for C4 and in EPEL5 (and probably a candidate to be moved into Centos Extras too). Regards, S.

Customizing CentOS 5
by Hao Xu 13 Nov '07

13 Nov '07

Hi! I need to make a customized two cd version CentOS 5, removing rpms not needed and adding some extra packages. I'm familiar with CentOS 4 customizing, but I found that in 5 the directory architecture of the installation tree is a little bit different, e.g. there is no 'base' and 'RPMS' directories in os/arch/CentOS anymore. Is there a howto for customizing CentOS 5? Thanks! hao

About compile option for i386 of cachefilesd
by DAICON 09 Nov '07

09 Nov '07

CC:centos-devel@centos.org Hi. Mr. David Howells. About compile option for i386 of cachefilesd. Confirmed environment: 1, On i386 platform OS : CentOS 5 i386 CPU : Pentium M Mem : 2G Kernel : 2.6.18-8.1.15.el5 #1 SMP Mon Oct 22 08:32:04 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux (Installed by RPM) cachefilesd : cachefilesd-0.7-6 (Installed by RPM) I test cachefilesd (RPM package) on i386 machine, and I found issue. cachefilesd stopped when the file that exceeded 2Gbytes was loaded from NFS Server. This is because compile option "-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64" is not set when compiling. When this option is set, it seems to operate normally. You should set this option by default when thinking about the function of cachefilesd. I think. Is there problem in this compile option setting? -- DAICON <daicon(a)daicoon.org>
