For sure they have been making a good work, and of course it is desirable that JPackage 1.7b (or whatever version) goes stable so that we have something that is very usable (enterprise/stable). If RHWAS needs packages that are provided by JPackage (is this the case?), and JPackage provides a great diversity of packages for the Java world, I'd like to rise a discussion on this: - how to provide a healthy/enterprise/[reasonably community supported] Java environment on CentOS - if packaging by ourselves is interesting - if we could get more engaged on JPackage (or make our own JPackage modified version) - if it is interesting to make a QA team for the Java Ecosystem on CentOS, because of its importance What do you thing? What is your opinion? Maybe Jim, HughesJr and Karanbir can also speak on this :-) Thanks Leonardo

anaconda dependency calculation?
by Nicholas Byrne 13 Apr '07

13 Apr '07

Hi all, I'm trying to find a tool that calculates all dependencies for a specific package or group of packages for use with CentOS 5 (beta) with the intention of putting together a custom single CD build of CentOS 5. With CentOS 4 i used a python script that used the hdrlist module to find all dependencies which borrowed code from a number of sources. I've looked at yumdownloader and how it checks dependencies (using the --resolve option) but if i pass it the list of packages defined in say the Base and the Core yum groups which generally form an absolute minimal install i end up with about 200 packages. If i do a custom install (using beta 1 disks) and deselect everything i end up with over 300 packages. So i'm guessing anaconda calculates dependencies in a slightly different way, can anyone point me to files/code where i should be looking to find out?

Anaconda Slides in "Other Than English"
by Johnny Hughes 30 Mar '07

30 Mar '07

All, We have added some anaconda slides to the CentOS Wiki as they are presently for English. http://wiki.centos.org/ArtWork/rnotes We have attached a text file with some rewording and what will become a new virtualization slide. http://wiki.centos.org/ArtWork/rnotes?action=AttachFile What we need is for "other than english" speakers to translate the slides to other local languages. Please could we have volunteers translate the text for the "Title" and "Information" sections and attach them to e-mails to this list? Thanks, Johnny Hughes

Centos Wiki tip proposal: Copy/verify files from CD/DVD quickly
by Wojciech Pilorz 29 Mar '07

29 Mar '07

Hi folks, Could you please look at the text below and attachements and comment please? Best regards, Wojtek --------------------------------- CentOS Wiki tip proposal: Copy/verify files from CD/DVD quickly If you want to copy a lot of files from CD or DVD, or verify md5 or sha1 of a large number of files, keep in mind that CD/DVD drive seeks are expensive and if are avoided as much as possible, the task could be completed faster (and quieter). Method 1. Copy the image to hard disk and loopback mount it. a) copying image assuming device is /dev/dvd and disk is either a single-session CD or CD-RW single session recorded in DAO mode, or DVD+RW recorded with growisofs $ dd if=/dev/dvd bs=2k of=hard_disk_directory/imagename.iso It the media is a single-session CD or CD-RW recorded in TAO mode, there are unreadable sectors at end of session, you need to determine size: $ isosize -x /dev/dvd results are like this: sector count: 346739, sector size: 2048 note sector count and read image using dd: $ dd if=/dev/dvd bs=2k count=sector_count_value of=destination_image_file_path Then, become root (e.g. using su), and make mount point if needed, mount the image: # mkdir -p /mnt/loop/myimage # mount -o ro,loop destination_image_file_path /mnt/loop/myimage Now you can use files in /mnt/loop/myimage, CD/DVD media is not needed. NOTES on loopback method: - needs root for lopback mount - will work only for single session media (or first session of multi-session media) - no seeks when reading DV/DVD media, but entire media is being read, justified only if you need to read most of the files, or a number of file multiple times Method 2 Access files in physical media order You could observe, that (most of the time) inode numbers of files in ISO9660 filesystem mounted on Linux are increasing as the start sector numer of file increase (within a single session). So to minimize seek operations access files in increasing inode value order. Please use attached scripts flist_by_inum.pl - sort file list by file inode number flist_by_inum.pl - sort md5/sha1 list by file inode number Mount the CD/DVD media, let us assume the mount point is /mnt/dvd If you want to copy some or all regular files to destination_directory, run cd /mnt/dvd find . -type f -print0 | flist_by_inum.pl -0 | cpio -p0md destination_directory You can of course give find utility some files/directories instead of ., as well as any criteria. If you are sure no file name contain white-space, etc, you can remove -0 and 0: find . -type f -print | flist_by_inum.pl | cpio -pmd destination_directory If you want to verify SHA1 fo the files, do the following: cd /mnt/dvd cat sha1sum_file | mdlist_by_inum.pl | sha1sum -wc > ~/verify.rslt 2>~/verify.msg NOTES: - no root privileges needed - should work for multi-session discs (although with some seeks) - only files needed are accessed - method also useful for accessing files on loopback-mounted images located on DVD

Hi Guys, Ralph / Johnny - could you please do the wiki'fication for this ? -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Anaconda Slides russian translation Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2007 16:27:35 +0500 From: Anatoly Davidov <tolix(a)avtograd.ru> To: kbsingh(a)centos.org, johnny(a)centos.org Hello! If this is not too late, here is russian translation for the Anaconda slides attached. Thank You for your hard work! -- Bye, Anatoly. -- Karanbir Singh CentOS Project { http://www.centos.org/ } irc: z00dax, #centos(a)irc.freenode.net Slides: 01-centos5-welcome.png: Title: Добро пожаловать в CentOS 5! Благодарим вас за выбор CentOS 5. CentOS - это дистрибутив Linux промышленного класса, производимый из исходников, свободно предоставляемых общественности известным северо-американским Поставщиком промышленного Linux. CentOS полностью соответствует политике перераспротранения Поставщика исходного дистрибутива и имеет целью быть 100% совместимым с ним на двоичном уровне. (Главным образом, CentOS только удаляет торговую марку и художественные элементы Исходного Поставщика) Дальнейшая информация: http://www.centos.org/ ================== 02-centos5-donate.png: Title: Пожертвования для CentOS Организация, производящая CentOS, называется "The CentOS Project". Мы не являемся дочерней компанией какой-либо другой организации. * Единственный источник нашего аппаратного обеспеспечения и средств для распространения CentOS - это пожертвования. * Пожалуйста, поддержите проект, если CentOS полезен для Вас. Дальнейшая информация: http://www.centos.org/donate ========== 03-centos5-yum.png Title: Управление ПО с Yum Рекомендуемый путь утановки и обновления CentOS - использовать Yum (Yellow Dog Updater, Modified). Ознакомьтесь с руководством "Managing Software with Yum" (Управление программным обеспечением (ПО) с Yum) в документации по ссылке ниже. YumEx, графический интерфейс для Yum, так же доступен в репозитарии CentOS Extras. Дальнейшая информация: http://www.centos.org/docs/5/ ========== 04-centos5-centos.png Title: Репозитарии ПО CentOS Существуют следующие репозитарии (хранилища), откуда можно устанавливать ПО CentOS: [base] (aka [os]) - RPMS пакеты, выпущенные в составе CentOS ISO (на диске). [updates] - Обновления для [base] репозитария. [addons] - ПО, производимое при компиляции SRPMS, но не вошедшее в дистрибутив Исходного Поставщика. [contrib] - ПО, предоставленное пользователями CentOS. [extras] - ПО от CentOS, которое не входит в дистрибутив Исходного Поставщика (не затрагивает [base]). [centosplus] - ПО от CentOS, которое не входит в дистрибутив Исходного Поставщика (затрагивает [base]). [testing] - ПО в фазе тестирования, бета стадии. Дальнейшая информация: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/Readme.txt ========== 05-centos5-centosplus.png Title: CentOS Plus репозитарий Это репозитарий для ПО, которое совершенствует определённые базовые части CentOS. Этот репозитарий сделает ваш CentOS несовместимым с дистрибутивом Исходного Поставщика. Команда разработчиков CentOS протестировала ПО этого репозитария, оно собирается и работает под CentOS 5. Но данное ПО не было протестировано Исходным Поставщиком и не входит в его продукты. Вам следует иметь в виду, что использование этих компонентов нарушает 100% совместимость на двоичном уровне с дистрибутивом Исходного Поставщика. Дальнейшая информация: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/centosplus/Readme.txt ========== 06-centos5-support.png Title: Помощь с CentOS Вы можете получать помощь с CentOS несколькими путями, включая: * Internet Relay Chat (IRC) - #centos, #centos-social и #centos-devel на irc.freenode.net * Списки рассылок - CentOS, CentOS-Devel, CentOS-Announce и неанглоязычные на http://lists.centos.org * Форумы: доступны на http://www.centos.org/forums/ * Wiki: доступны на http://wiki.centos.org/ Дальнейшая информация: http://www.centos.org/ ========== 07-centos5-docs.png Title: Документация CentOS Для CentOS доступна следующая документация: Руководство по внедрению, Руководство по установке, Руководство по виртуализации, Обзор кластерной подсистемы, Администрирование кластера, Менеджер дисков для кластера, Global File System, Global Network Block Device, Администрирование виртуального сервера, Управление ПО с Yum, Использование YumEx, "release notes" для всего ПО. Дальнейшая информация: http://www.centos.org/docs/5/ ========== 08-centos5-wiki.png Title: CentOS Wiki В CentOS Wiki доступны "Часто Задаваемые Вопросы" (FAQ), "HowTo", Подсказки и статьи на множество тем, относящихся к CentOS, включая установку ПО, обновление, конфигурирование репозитариев и многое другое. Wiki так же содержит информацию о событиях CentOS в вашем регионе и освещение CentOS в СМИ. В добавление к списку рассылки CentOS-Docs, энтузиасты могут получить возможность публиковать статьи, советы и HowTo в CentOS Wiki, ... за дело, господа! Дальнейшая информация: http://wiki.centos.org/ ========== 09-centos5-virtualization.png Title: Виртуализация в CentOS 5 CentOS 5 предоставляет виртуализацию на базе Xen для i386 и x86_64 архитектур в обоих, полном и пара-виртуализированном, режимах.
