qemu 0.9.1
by Daniel de Kok 06 May '08

06 May '08

Hi all, qemu 0.9.1 packages are now provided through the CentOS 5 testing repository. qemu is mainly provided for the qemu-img tool, but in the future we may also add kqemu. We'd like to hear if qemu-img is working ok for everybody. We can focus on testing qemu itself once kqemu is packaged. Information on using the CentOS Testing repository can be found on the CentOS Wiki at: http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories The qemu package is named (surprise :)) 'qemu', and can be installed after adding the testing repository: yum --enablerepo=c5-testing install qemu Thanks, Daniel

Wrong directory in CentOS5-respin
by Ruomu Hu 05 May '08

05 May '08

Hi, I often need to install CentOS5 on servers, I do this a lot, so I think I need a respin dist (all updates included). I wrote a script to generate my CentOS5-respin. My CentOS5 tree is at /centos/5, it is rsynced with a Taiwan mirror daily. My generated CentOS5 tree is placed at /centos/5-respin. The generation of CentOS5-respin by my script runs fine, but the generated CentOS5-respin tree has a problem: During network installation using this CentOS5-respin tree, when it gets rpm installation, it always complains "The file system-config-services-0.9.4-1.el5.noarch.rpm cannot be opened.". In the text console, the error message is "Failed to get http://myserver/centos/5-respin/os/x86_64/system-config-services-0.9.4-1.el…". Anaconda should look for rpms in /centos/5-respin/os/x86_64/CentOS, but it actually looks for rpms in /centos/5-respin/os/x86_64. Any ideas? It would be nice if anyone could point me to some useful docs. Thanks! Ruomu P.S. Here's my script: #!/bin/bash # # gen_respin_distro # # To use this script, the following rpms need to installed first: # anaconda # anaconda-help # anaconda-runtime # busybox-anaconda ? # bogl # booty # netpbm # netpbm-progs # mkisofs #TODO # 1. Should we use pkgorder? If yes, when? # 2. Do we need to run pkgorder before buildinstall? # 3. Do we need to run createrepo? Buildinstall seems to calls it. # 4. Why does it look for rpms in /centos/5-respin/os/x86_64? # Check tools rpmmerge=`dirname "$0"`/rpmmerge if [ ! -x "$rpmmerge" ]; then echo "$rpmmerge does not exist or is not executable." >&2 exit 1 fi createrepo="/usr/bin/createrepo" if [ ! -x "$createrepo" ]; then echo "$createrepo does not exist or is not executable." >&2 exit 1 fi buildinstall="/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/buildinstall" if [ ! -x "$buildinstall" ]; then echo "$buildinstall does not exist or is not executable." >&2 exit 1 fi # Set variables and functions src="/centos/5" dest="/centos/5-respin" distro="CentOS" arch="x86_64" version="5" product="CentOS" release="Respin" prodpath="CentOS" eval_retval() { test $? -ne 0 && exit 1 } # Merge rpms echo -e "*** Merge rpms ***\n" $rpmmerge $src/os/$arch/$distro $src/updates/$arch/RPMS $dest/os/$arch/$distro eval_retval # Create repo data echo -e "\n*** Create repo data ***\n" #cp -al $src/os/$arch/repodata/comps.xml $dest/os/$arch/$distro #eval_retval $createrepo -q -g $src/os/$arch/repodata/comps.xml -c $dest/os/$arch/cache \ -o $dest/os/$arch $dest/os/$arch/$distro eval_retval #rm -f $dest/os/$arch/$distro/comps.xml #eval_retval # Run buildinstall export PYTHONPATH="/usr/lib/anaconda" echo -e "\n*** Buildinstall ***\n" sudo $buildinstall \ --pkgorder "$dest/os/$arch/pkgorder.txt" \ --version $version \ --product $product \ --release $release \ --prodpath $prodpath \ $dest/os/$arch eval_retval exit 0
