I've also seen your mail on the DRBD mailling-list and the Lars' answer about the testing request (http://lists.linbit.com/pipermail/drbd-user/2009-May/012019.html). So the question is : do we want to provide both 8.2.7 (as drbd82 package) and 8.3.1 (as drbd83) ? It seems to me that drbd83 is 'just' an update to the 8.2.x branch (it could be named 8.2.10 in the Lars' answer) The reason why there was a drbd (for 7.0.24 on el4 and 8.0.6 on el5) and drbd82 was that metadata was not usable anymore and some config parameters were completely different and so a simple `yum update drbd` could break the existing setup. Now the question seems to be : do you still need to split between drbd82 and drbd83 ? -- -- Fabian Arrotin idea=`grep -i clue /dev/brain` test -z "$idea" && echo "sorry, init 6 in progress" || sh ./answer.sh

Important: CentOS Newsletter coming to town
by Dag Wieers 22 May '09

22 May '09

Hi all, The CentOS Newsletter is a new initiative taken to promote CentOS, but also to improve the communication inside of the community itself. http://wiki.centos.org/Newsletter Currently we envision a Newsletter that highlights some of the things that are going on inside of the different community's channels. But we probably could do much more, all of this depends on contributions and ideas of those people that are already involved. So what I am looking for are people that - think about what subject, thread or article could be useful for the Newsletter (as much as possible) - write new content that can be featured in the Newsletter - are willing to (co)maintain a section in the Newsletter on a bi-weekly basis We haven't decided what sections will go into the Newsletter yet, but here is a list of the things that are possible. If you have other ideas, please share them with the centos-promo mailinglist (or send them to me personally). We are looking for a few recurring sections for the Newsletter: * Foreword * Featured Article(s) * Wonderful Wiki Whatever (new documentation in the wiki) * Community Threads (interesting threads on mailinglist, forums and blogs) * CentOS Fixes (an overview of the recent errata) * Development Discussions (what happens on centos-devel) * CentOS in the News (who's covering CentOS) * ... Of course, if we don't have any content for a section at some point, we will leave that section out. So who is interested to help out with the first and second issue ? And who is interested to maintain/edit one of these sections ? I am looking for people in the different communities (mailinglist, forums and blogs) that keep up with things and offer items to be featured. I am also interested in reports about new developments within the community from the different SIGs, from the developers and project members to highlight areas where is being worked on and what progress we are making. If you are interested, you know where to find me :) -- -- dag wieers, dag(a)wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]

s390 SIG meeting (May 18, 20:00 UTC)
by Jae-hwa Park 21 May '09

21 May '09

Hello, I found that there were some activities for s390 SIG several months ago, but there were not many people interested in s390 at the time, I think. Karanbir is working on s390x for centos 5.0 now, isn't he? And there might be some people who interested in building s390x port for centos 5.3, so we should talk about this SIG again. The meeting will be held on IRC(#centos-devel) at 20:00 UTC 18th May 2009. (05:00 KST-9 19th May 2009) Anyone interested should join in. Agenda which I thought is like below: 1. where are we? 2. what should we do? - check the build system(real iron) - make build system environment - fix errors - etc. ? - role and responsibility 3. schedule 4. some other topic? If anyone have any other ideas, please post your idea. See you then. Regards, Jerry -- Jae-hwa(Jerry) Park <jaehwa(a)gmail.com>

RPM date strangeness (was:[CentOS] rpmbuild date shift)

Yes, it has nothing to do with time zone. It has. I don't know why, yet. > I'm not sure if > I've seen it before last rpmbuild update. Also happens when you use *5.2* in mock to build the packages. And that has an older version of rpm. Watch and cry (I Cc: centos-devel, as I know that JBJ reads there, too). Please do answer in centos-devel, thanks. JBJ: Here's what happens: I take a src.rpm: [angenenr@shutdown SRPMS]$rpm -qp --@hangelog canlock-2b-3.el5.src.rpm |head -2 * Tue May 19 2009 Ralph Angenendt <ralph(a)centos.org> -2b.2 - This is a test bump I rebuild it with rpmbuild: [angenenr@shutdown SRPMS]$rpmbuild --rebuild canlock-2b-3.el5.src.rpm [angenenr@shutdown SRPMS]$rpm -qp --changelog ../RPMS/x86_64/canlock-2b-3.el5.x86_64.rpm |head -2 * Tue May 19 2009 Ralph Angenendt <ralph(a)centos.org> -2b.2 - This is a test bump All is fine. Now let me churn it through mock. [angenenr@shutdown SRPMS]$mock -r centos-5-x86_64 --autocache canlock-2b-3.el5.src.rpm [...] [angenenr@shutdown SRPMS]$rpm -qp --changelog /var/lib/mock/centos-5-x86_64/result/canlock-2b-3.el5.x86_64.rpm |head -2 * Wed May 20 2009 Ralph Angenendt <ralph(a)centos.org> -2b.2 - This is a test bump Ummm? [angenenr@shutdown SRPMS]$date Tue May 19 13:19:25 CEST 2009 Yay! I invented a time machine! (or someone did). Okay, let's move the machine from Germany to the UK [angenenr@shutdown SRPMS]$sudo cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/London /etc/localtime [angenenr@shutdown SRPMS]$date Tue May 19 12:20:17 BST 2009 [angenenr@shutdown SRPMS]$rpm -qp --changelog /var/lib/mock/centos-5-x86_64/result/canlock-2b-3.el5.x86_64.rpm |head -2 * Tue May 19 2009 Ralph Angenendt <ralph(a)centos.org> -2b.2 - This is a test bump Hmmm. Who moved the international date line to the Channel? What about mock? Let's move the machine back to Germany first. [angenenr@shutdown SRPMS]$sudo cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Berlin /etc/localtime [angenenr@shutdown SRPMS]$date Tue May 19 13:22:08 CEST 2009 [angenenr@shutdown SRPMS]$mock -r centos-5-x86_64 shell init mock-chroot> date Tue May 19 07:22:18 EDT 2009 So mock uses EDT which is 6 hours behind. Which does not explain why moving from BST (EDT +0500) still gives me the correct date in the changelog, moving the machine one step further to CEST (EDT +0600) moves me to the next day, though. What about the rpm built with rpmbuild? Let's move the machine to Sidney: [root@shutdown etc]# cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia/Sydney localtime [root@shutdown etc]# date Tue May 19 21:27:50 EST 2009 [root@shutdown etc]# rpm -qp --changelog /home/angenenr/redhat/RPMS/x86_64/canlock-2b-3.el5.x86_64.rpm * Tue May 19 2009 Ralph Angenendt <ralph(a)centos.org> -2b.2 - This is a test bump Strange. This is 8 hours in the future (and not 6), but still shows me the correct date. Something is not right here. Is this something to worry about? How and why does that happen? Why are there even calculations on the date line in a changelog? Cheers, Ralph

kmod update with yum
by Farkas Levente 19 May '09

19 May '09

hi, i need some help:-( i now spend many hours to find the reason why yum always install kmod rpms on centos and never update. currently there is not any weak-updates kmod rpm in centos which has more version-release, but as you try to update any kmod the same problem will arise. in case of fedora where kmod's are hardwired to a given kernel it's not a problem (but those are never weak-update kmods), but in case of centos where eg in 5.3 all kernel a kabi compatible then we can use none kernel version specific kmods. what's more in case of weak-updates kmod when the same package has more version installed cause many problems. suppose i've got a kmod installed eg: # rpm -q kmod-fuse kmod-fuse-2.7.4-20.el5 now i build a new one and try to update with yum update. it's always install it and i can't force yum to update it. anybody can tell me the reason? of course rpm -U update it. imho it's the same reason as the recent dbrd kmod thread where wasn't any solution. anyway anybody know what is the yum-kmod and what is it good for? and try both with/without yum-kmod but the same happened:-( -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"

debuginfo out of date
by Phil Schaffner 15 May '09

15 May '09

Another one from the Fora: http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id=20… Thread started by robertsong: centos 5.3 glibc debuginfo is not updated "Hello, I have updated to centos 5.3, the latest version of glibc-2.5-34. but I found the debuginfo rpm package was not updated to this version. Now the debuginfo version is 2.5.24 in http://debuginfo.centos.org/5/i386/. glibc-debuginfo-2.5-24.i686.rpm glibc-debuginfo-common-2.5-24.i386.rpm When would the rpm be updated ?" In investigating this I noticed that the Forum user is correct and that the metadata in the arch-specific directories is even older than the packages. Those ought to be either re-generated or removed. From http://debuginfo.centos.org/5/x86_64/repodata/ [ ] filelists.xml.gz 23-Oct-2007 20:41 3.0M [ ] other.xml.gz 23-Oct-2007 20:41 4.0M [ ] primary.xml.gz 23-Oct-2007 20:41 255K [TXT] repomd.xml 23-Oct-2007 20:41 951 I reviewed recent debuginfo threads and could not find anything on this issue. I presume the repo config should be something like: #Debug Info [debuginfo] name=CentOS-$releasever - DebugInfo #baseurl=http://debuginfo.centos.org/$releasever/$basearch/ baseurl=http://debuginfo.centos.org/$releasever/ gpgcheck=1 enabled=0 gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-$releasever protect=1 priority=1 Is there a mirrorlist mechanism for debuginfo?

CDS or CentOS Directory Server - Final testing
by Tim Verhoeven 14 May '09

14 May '09

Hi, The what should be final packages of CDS are available in the testing repo (http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/testing/). If people could give these a final test to see if they are ok ? They are up to date to what is currently available for RHDS (version 8.1). If nothing is found these will move to the producion repos (probably Extras) in a couple of days. Thanks for testing, 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.

Re: [CentOS-devel] An introduction and a s390 effort
by Jae-hwa Park 14 May '09

Hi, I'm also interested in s390 build for CentOS. I have a real iron, z9 system for test. So I think it might be helpful for building. Nice to meet you. :-) ah, I'm a zLinux engineer since 2000, and now I'm working as a engineer for technical support of zLinux in Korea. Please let me know what should I do first. -- Jae-hwa(Jerry) Park <jaehwa(a)gmail.com> 2009/3/19 Karanbir Singh <mail-lists at karan.org>: > Sascha Thomas Spreitzer wrote: >> My name is Sascha Thomas Spreitzer and I live in the eastern outback >> of Munich in Bavaria Germany. > > Thanks for dropping in and showing interest.
