Installation RHEL5 -> CentOS5
by Patrick 24 Feb '07

24 Feb '07

When I installed RHEL5 beta 2 yesterday, I came across the so-called installation number. It's used as a "serial" to unlock number-related functionality of the software. In other words, there is a key for the client version and one for the server version. And within those options, there are also different possibilities, like with or without visualisation. How does this affect CentOS5? Will this be implemented or modified? Regards, Patrick _______________________________________________ No banners. No pop-ups. No kidding.

Available for testing CentOS5 beta
by Patrick 23 Feb '07

23 Feb '07

Hello, After reading on this mailing list that anyone interested in testing the Beta of CentOS5 should send a mail to the QA department. I got a answer back that I should make a posting here. So, here goes. After using CentOS for some time now, I would like to do something back for the community. If useful, I can test CentOS 5-beta on a test server I have for these kind of things. It it a ProLiant ML350 with a Compaq 431 RAID controler and three SCSI disks. Testing could be related to webserver, ftp, installation, etc. Since I am Dutch, checking of the language-translation could also be done. About myself, I work as a QA/QA Manager and have the responsibility for the ISO9001 Quality System. Besides that, I am also the webmaster of the companies websites. Looking forward to assist! With kind regards, Patrick RHCT _______________________________________________ No banners. No pop-ups. No kidding. Make My Way your home on the Web - http://www.myway.com

BackupPC
by Jordi Espasa Clofent 14 Feb '07

Hi folks, I've read with interest the next references: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2006-April/002216.html http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1299 Currently I'm using the package without problems. In fact, I installed it from source before and I used the perl modules provided by Dries' and Dag's repo in first time. At present moment I've removed the mentioned packages and I've used only the c4-testing repo. All the installation and dependencies resolving processes has worked great. Good work Johnny ;) ¿Are there some intentions to move BackupPC from testing-repo to extras-repo? I think it is an interesting package, especially in hybrid environment (Win+Linux, ie.)

Re: Metalinks for CentOS (all mirrors & checksums in one file)
by albryan＠comcast.net 06 Feb '07

The latest aria2 (0.10.0+1) can autocorrect metalink downloads if they contain chunk checksums. Basically, your finished download should have no errors when it's done, similar to rsync and BitTorrent downloads. And it should be pretty fast (depending on your connection speed) by using multiple mirrors. This automatic error correction is especially nice for ISO downloads, because usually if there is an error in transfer, it messes up the ISO and the full file checksum doesn't match, so you have to download the whole file again (or use rsync or similar). >From Tatsuhiro Tsujikawa, aria2 author: "As of 0.10.0 aria2 supports chunk checksum in Metalink: it validates chunk checksums while downloading a file like BitTorrent. This gives safer and more reliable download experience. 1) Before dowload begins: Use this to correct damaged downloads. 2) Realtime hash checking: Validate checksum on the fly like BitTorrent." CentOS metalinks are at http://download.packages.ro/metalink/ (These do not contain chunk checksums yet, but the chunk checksums can be generated with metalink tools from http://prog.infosnel.nl/metalinks/ ) -- (( Anthony Bryan )) Metalink [ http://www.metalinker.org ]
