Hi, Earlier in the evening today Ralph, Fabian and I had a chat about the present state of the language subsites. This email sort of summarises the main issue ( s/w ). We seem to have run into a slight technical hitch with punbb/fluxbb. They dont support LDAP as a backend. And we had decided a few months back that all new rollouts must have ldap backend so we can rollin CentOS-DS / openldap based backend. So we need to look at alternatives, and since the primary focus of these … [View More]

'yum-security' plugin and fasttrack respository for CentOS 5.4
by Alan Bartlett 24 Jun '10

24 Jun '10

Yesterday evening (Tuesday December 8, 2009) a forum thread [1] was started by Stefan (under the ID of "gigglesworth") relating to the above subjects. As is well known, ELRepo provided the fasttrack packages during the lifetime of CentOS 5.3 but following on from Karanbir's assertion that CentOS will provide the fasttrack packages for 5.4 we, at ELRepo, have stepped down from providing that service. Will CentOS-devs please have a look at the above mentioned thread and then respond, … [View More]

hi guys, One of the things that came up from the last chat about the language specific websites, was that there was no one on that call who actually used the forums. With the help of Akemi, I've been able to setup a meeting for the existing english forum moderators to come together and have a chat about: 1) what we have right now 2) Whats broken 3) whats really good 4) where they would like the forums to be in the next 6 months 5) Where they would like the forums to be in the next 12 … [View More]

yum-3.2.8 for Centos 4 backport, part II.
by David Hrbáč 30 Jan '10

30 Jan '10

Hi, I have again worked on yum 3.2.8 for Centos 4 today, after a long time. The result is backported package yum-3.2.8-9.el4.hrb.2.1.5 which is the upgrade of yum-3.2.8-9.el4.hrb.2.1.3 I've been using smoothly for quite a long time. Packages are in testing repos: http://fs12.vsb.cz/hrb33/el4/hrb/testing/i386/repodata/ http://fs12.vsb.cz/hrb33/el4/hrb/testing/x86_64/repodata/ I'd like to ask for QA tests. This patched version passes all the internal yum tests (aka 'make test'). Regards, David Hrbáč

why is the addons repo empty?
by Felix Schwarz 16 Jan '10

16 Jan '10

Hi, today I noticed that yum-priorities is not anymore in the base distribution - a fact that seems to be well documented. However the yum-utils src rpm still builds that package. Therefore I was wondering why yum-priorities is available in extras and not in addons. Basically http://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/General says: > What are all the CentOS repositories (directories) and what is each one > for? > > addons > Contains packages required in order to build the main Distribution … [View More]

Forum thread -- "anaconda does not support DHCP option 121"
by Alan Bartlett 27 Dec '09

27 Dec '09

There has been a forum thread [1], with the above subject header, recently started by a user "BruceLee". Both Phil Schaffner and I have (independently) attempted to explain that the OP's request would, most probably, not be dealt with by the CentOS project. I write this message to ask, time permitting, if one of the core dev-team (in no particular order: Russ, Karanbir, Tru, Ralph or Johnny) will please post an authoritative sentence (or even paragraph) to that thread? Regards, Alan. [1] http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=23539&forum=37#t…

mirrorlist issue
by Andreas Rogge 18 Dec '09

18 Dec '09

While upgrading our servers to 5.4 I just noticed that the mirrorlist is somewhat "broken" (at least for me). For 4.8 it does work: http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?repo=updates&arch=x86_64&release=4.8 For 5.3 it also works: http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?repo=updates&arch=x86_64&release=5.3 But for 5.4 it doesn't work: http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?repo=updates&arch=x86_64&release=5.4 Is that intended? If so: how do I say "I want 5.4 and all its updats but I don't … [View More]

Donating: Out we not be more understanding on the list?
by IT2 Stuart Blake Tener, USNR 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

List members, I am not sure if it is just I, but there seem to be a prevalent amount of elitism on this list, and as such I think this is a good time to make note of it in the light of working to accept donations. It will hopefully be instructive to the some several folks (not all of course, but a select segment) of people on this list that are regularly curt, abrupt, condescending, and dismissive of those asking queries of the list to take stock of the fact that their alienating … [View More]
