Lang-Subsites still in womb ?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Guys, Does anyone is already working on the Language subsites ? Is this an interest yet ? If you are asked to build your own CentOS subsite, what do you'd have on it? See: http://wiki.centos.org/WebsiteVer2/langSubsites/cnus Please, add your feelings there (keep simplicity in mind when doing so).

Lang-Subsites still in womb ?
by Worsham, Michael 11 Feb '09

As per the http://wiki.centos.org/WebsiteVer2/forums in relation to Drupal, I wrote a patch that allows support of MySQL split read/write capabilities for master/slave MySQL database environments under Drupal 5.x environments, which -- from proof of concept testing -- has resulted in a 30% performance boost. -- Michael

Security update missing - kernel-2.6.18-128.el5
by Milan Keršláger 09 Feb '09

09 Feb '09

Please, do not delay this "Important" multiple security update. See https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2009-0225.html for more info. This update is "5.3" kernel but has been released as security update too. RHN pushed this kernel one day ahead of rest of 5.3 packages (on my servers). RH maintains API and ABI (!) compatibility so there is no problem to use this kernel AFAIK. So please, do not delay it anymore, this contains multiple security vulnerabilities fixed since 2009-01-20. Thank you for your effort (a lot). M.K. -- Milan Keršláger http://www.pslib.cz/ke/ http://www.nti.tul.cz/wiki/Milan.Kerslager

I missed that. Sorry. Had to check twice. On Fri Feb 6 07:05:24 UTC 2009, David Hrbáč wrote: > like it.

I wish to see security updates (+deps) ahead of full 5.3 release still (I see some of them like firefox, but there is xulrunner update even this does not seem to be a security update - did I missed something else?). Also better verion numbers probably: RH: squirrelmail-1.4.8-5.el5_2.3.src.rpm CentOS: squirrelmail-1.4.8-5.el5.centos.3.src.rpm Should be probably: squirrelmail-1.4.8-5.el5_2.3.centos.src.rpm -- Milan Keršláger http://www.pslib.cz/ke/ http://www.nti.tul.cz/wiki/Milan.Kerslager

current state of kvm for centos-5
by Farkas Levente 05 Feb '09

05 Feb '09

hi, after a long time it seems the current packages which needed for kvm on centos-5 host seems to working (ie. worth to change). my repo: http://www.lfarkas.org/linux/packages/centos/5/SRPMS/ contains the current set of rpms what we use (about a week): ----------------------------- libvirt-0.6.0-1 python-virtinst-0.400.1-1 virt-manager-0.6.1-1 virt-top-1.0.1-7.el5 virt-viewer-0.0.3-3 qemu-img-0.9.1-12 kvm-83-1 kmod-kvm-83-1 etherboot-5.4.4-8 ----------------------------- you can download x86_64 binary rpms too. these are mostly the fedora src.rpms rebuild on el5 with small modifications. imho it'd be useful to add centos's extras repo too, since these are a huge step even for the current rhel-5.3's rpms and the current kvm-36 which is in extras. these are usable on centos-5.2, so can be added to it's extras repo, but there will be some patches in the coming centos-5.3's kernel-2.6.18-128.el5 (eg. virtio) which has some more benefit too. any comments? how are willing to add it to centos? yours. -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"
