language specific community subsites
by Karanbir Singh 02 Sep '08

Hi, Different people seem to have a different take on what the whole point and aim of the regional / local communities is. I am laying out here what we started with for fr.centos.org and what we hope to use for : ja.centos.org de.centos.org es.centos.org cn.centos.org ----- The first thing really is that these are not regional subsites, they are language based. Which is why its JA.centos.org and not JP.centos.org - if there are other such situations, we would go with the language iso code. Moving onto the point of this whole exercise. Well the point is to give people who speak and communicate in a specific language a focused CentOS centric starting point and a web forum[1] that they can use. And pointers on where to go for help, documentations, details on the project etc. And this should help provide a means for language teams and translation groups to communicate easier. Apart from the starting page and forums there will be no other content hosted in the language subsites. All the content would be hosted alongside the regular english content. eg. the way our wiki is setup right now, and how different language translations are handled there. I know that fr.centos.org was only a pilot and one issue that lots of people pointed out was that it does not look like the other CentOS.org websites. Thats a point taken on board, and none of the other subsites are coming up till the ArtWork guys have a look and feel sorted for the fr.centos.org site. Those guys already have this in their ToDo list. Now, if you are interested in helping with any of these language lists, please reply to this thread here in the mailing list and let us know. - KB [1]: this would / should / could really compliment the language specific mailing lists we have already got in place, perhaps a forum software that can gateway between the two would be nice. -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219@icq

still trying to build upstream srpms
by Joe Pruett 01 Sep '08

i have been looking around and i can't see a way to figure out what --define options might be used for rpmbuild by rh. i want to build the rhwas 5 non-java srpms but there is lots of ifdef magic in the spec that could be important to building. so in general, how do we know how the upstream builds things? are there logs somewhere on ftp.redhat.com to look at? or do we have moles that tell us? i'm not even thinking about mock type stuff right now, just trying to figure out the actual rpmbuild command line to use. any clues out there? i've heard that 4.7 is brewing right now, so i understand that the people in the know may be off waving wands over the build gnomes and not paying much attention here...
