yum 2.4.3 updates for CentOS 3 and 4 in the testing repo
by Daniel de Kok 17 Aug '07

17 Aug '07

Hi all, We have added yum 2.4.3 updates for CentOS 3 and 4 to the CentOS testing repository. These packages introduce the following changes: * CentOS 4: yum now requires the yum-metadata-parser package. This is a backport of the yum C metadata parser, and provides an significant performance increase over the Python metadata parser. * CentOS 3: this is the first release of yum 2.4 for CentOS 3, and we plan to provide this as an optional upgrade through the CentOSPlus repository. We have added code to yum 2.4 for default kernel handling (as setting the default kernel after kernel updates was handled by yum 2.0). Additionally, the package also requires the yum C metadata parser. Please test these RPMs, and provide feedback. We are especially interested in stress testing of the new components (default kernel handling on CentOS 3, and the C metadata parser on CentOS 3 and 4). Information on using the CentOS Testing repository can be found on the CentOS Wiki at: http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories Thanks, Daniel

Hello guys, I've recently installed XFCE after moving from Fedora to centos but currently I'm missing xscreensaver and orage packages for XFCE. Is there a chance to get them into centos repos?? -- Heiko Adams <heiko.adams(a)gmx.de>

nx-3.0.0 RPMS
by Johnny Hughes 30 Jun '07

30 Jun '07

There are some NX-3.0.0 RPMS that currently seem to work OK with the current freenx (0.6.0-13) backend (for centos-5). They do not do all the new things that nx-3.0 can do (we are waiting on a new freenx that does those things) ... however this version does compile on x86_64 (and there is also a version of freenx for x86_64 as well). Currently there is a symlink to /usr/lib/NX for 64bit OSes as well ... but that also should be cleared up when the new FreeNX is released. For anyone who wants native x86_64 support, these should be OK, at least for testing. Thanks, Johnny Hughes

Specfiles for orage, xarchiver and arj
by Heiko Adams 25 Jun '07

25 Jun '07

Hello, I took the fedora core 6 srpms for orage, xarchiver and arj to rebuild them for centos 5 with the hope that these packages will soon find it's way into centos. Orage is a Time-managing application for Xfce4. Xarchiver is a lightweight GTK2 only frontend for manipulating 7z, arj, bzip2, gzip, iso, rar, lha, tar, zip, RPM and deb files. It allows you to create archives and add, extract, and delete files from them. Password protected archives in the arj, 7z, rar, and zip formats are supported. The arj package is an open source version of the arj archiver. This version has been created with the intent to preserve maximum compatibility and retain the feature set of original ARJ archiver as provided by ARJ Software, Inc. SRPMs can be found at: http://download.ha-software.de/srpms/arj-3.10.22-2el5.src.rpm http://download.ha-software.de/srpms/orage-4.4.0-2el5.src.rpm http://download.ha-software.de/srpms/xarchiver-0.4.9-0.3.20070103svn24249el… -- Heiko Adams <heiko.adams(a)gmx.de>

where is the centos build architecture?
by Farkas Levente 24 Jun '07

24 Jun '07

hi, is there an way to access to the centos release build architecure? not to use it just see how it's working? eg i'd like to know create the centos/5/os/i386/images/pxeboot/initrd.img file which module was selected to include in it etc. afais there no source for this on rh ftp site so probably these non rpm files are build by the centos team. is there any docs about it or can i see the script which generate it? thanks in advance. -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"

by Heiko Adams 23 Jun '07

23 Jun '07

Hello guys, I've rebuild and installed the orage rpm from fedora core 6. Everything works fine excepting the following: The icon for orage is missing in xfce settings and xfce-setting-show orage raised "No such plugin: orage" error message. The settings plugin is placed at at /usr/lib/xfce4/mcs-plugins/ where the other settings plugins are placed too. Any one an idea how to fix that problem? -- Heiko Adams <heiko.adams(a)gmx.de>

by Heiko Adams 23 Jun '07

23 Jun '07

Hello, this is the specfile for arj which is at least required by xarchiver. The specfile has also been extracted from fedora's srpm after successful rebuilding on my centos mashine. Regards -- Heiko Adams <heiko.adams(a)gmx.de>
