Help offer on Sparc front
by Hugo van der Kooij 09 Jan '09

09 Jan '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have just received a SunBlade150 which I would like to put to good use. I understand there is a Centos port underway for the Sparc line. If it is possible to trash the harddisk and fill it with the bare stuff to make it work I am willing to lend access to the system for developers and also do some things myself. I am not a programmer but I can spot the incidental error and maybe fix a typo or at least do my best to provide serious feedback in attempts to capture, reproduce and solve issues. If there is a basic kit somewhere to turn the former Solaris machine and set it on the road to Centos 5 I am willing to add my weight and push the cart along.

presto / deltarpm
by Karanbir Singh 05 Jan '09

05 Jan '09

hi, The idea of yum-presto and deltarpm support on mirror.centos.org is something that seems to be worth visiting again. I am just wondering if there is anyone who would like to grab the issue, do the testing, workout whats involved and then try and come up with an implementation plan ? Would be good if you already knew how yum and repomd type repositories worked. Anyone interested and have the time ? -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219@icq

Point yum repos to centos gpg key in /etc/pki/
by Jeff Sheltren 14 Jul '08

14 Jul '08

Hi, as a follow up to a conversation in #centos-devel, I'd like to get input from the list on this issue. The question is where to point people, and tools like yum, for the centos gpg key used to verify rpm signatures. My opinion is that pointing to the key in /etc/pki/ which gets installed by the centos- release makes the most sense. This is already installed locally on any centos (-5) machine. See ie. http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2419 From a security standpoint, there are issues with either choice. However, if your install media has been compromised, then there would be many other ways to bypass the gpg checks rather than just changing the gpg key from the centos-release package. Pointing to a URL for the gpg key opens up more security issues such as dns poisoning. -Jeff

rhwas 5 work?
by Joe Pruett 10 Apr '08

10 Apr '08

are there people working on getting the rhwas 5 rpms builtup for centosplus 5? the gophp5 people are starting to have an impact and drupal users are wanting php 5.2, which i was surprised to see in the rhwas srpms directory. the users might even be willing to be testers since they're on a virtual server.

heads up - centos/testing repos
by Karanbir Singh 01 Apr '08

01 Apr '08

hi Guys, Over the next couple of days, there is going to be a fair bit of movement in the CentOS-4 and CentOS5 testing repos hosted at dev.centos.org. So if you are running machines with that repo enabled with nightly yum updates, might be a good idea to suspend that for a bit. - KB -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219@icq

iptables extras
by Tim Verhoeven 31 Mar '08

31 Mar '08

Hi, Attached is a modifed src rpm of iptables. It is based on base C5 iptables package and source. It just build 2 extra packages : iptables-extras and iptables-ipv6-extras. These extra package contain modules that are not enabled by in the base package but do have support for them in the kernel. I use it for CLUSTERIP support. I would be great if these extra packages could be put in centosplus/extras. Regards, Tim -- Tim Verhoeven - tim.verhoeven.be(a)gmail.com - 0479 / 88 11 83 Hoping the problem magically goes away by ignoring it is the "microsoft approach to programming" and should never be allowed.

hi! Yes we did indeed get this to work. Mr CentOS himself (aka Johnny Hughes) has kindly compiled and provided kernels with fixes for this bug that Redhat seems quite unwilling to solve, an attitude I do not understand at all.

Centos 5, Iced Tea and Pentaho
by tom＠wamonline.org.uk 15 Mar '08

15 Mar '08

As requested, just a quick note to say thanks to the guys who are porting IcedTea, I've managed to get Tomcat and its Pentaho war running fine. Along with the Pentaho Kettle ETL tool. I'm having some issues with Pentaho Report Designer, but tbh it needs a rewrite so its not a great surprise. Cheers Guys and keep up the hard work. Tom

Hello, according to http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2008-0071.html and http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2008-0079.html it seems that the upstream vendor has released updated liberation-fonts and pygtk2 packages as fasttrack updates. It would nice to have these packages in CentOS's fasttrack repo too. Regards, -- Heiko Adams <heiko.adams(a)gmail.com>
