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]international sites is going be forums : Here is a shortlist ( if there
is anything else that people are aware of, please add to this list )
- phpBB
- SMF
- Fudforum
- phorum
- fluxbb
Requirements:
- Must be able to scale ( couple of hundred thousand msgs )
- Must be able to handle ldap auth ( if it cant, whats involved in
writing the ldap-auth portion )
- Must address the specific requirements raised by the present
www.centos.org forum users ( Can you please fill this section in ? )
- Must support all languages we need ( pure utf8 support would be good )
- Secure
- Skin'able
Nice to have:
- Capable of running multiple instances from a single deployment
- responsive community :D
Things we will need to do:
- Decide on what s/w to use.
- Give the ArtWork people enough time to get the look & feel sorted.
- Migrate newbb forums from www.centos.org to $system ( hey, english is
a language too :D ).
- Migrate fr.centos.org into the final s/w
- setup {de/es/ja/it/pt_br}.centos.org
Actions:
Ralph and Fabian are going to work on setting up a test ldap server,
once that is online we will then start by installing into our
test-vm-farm the various s/w to eval them.
If anyone would like to help, please feel free to jump right in.
I'll setup a wiki page for this issue, which might be a good place to
track progress.

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

this's not the only thing (but may be one of the most dangerous). i also
like to know who are responsible for what is the community?:
- who are the centos-3 …
[View More]updates maintainers
- who are the centos-4 updates maintainers
- who are the centos-5 updates maintainers
- who will be the centos-6 maintainers
- who are qa team
- who are responsible for the centos.org domain and dns (ok lance)
- who are responsible for the website, wiki, mailing list
- how has root access to the hardware infrastructure
and i hope none of the above is a single element set:-)
- what is the hardware infrastructure of centos team
- is there any cvs, svn, git for the development why not public
- how the release and update build process look like
- can we see the build farm status, build logs etc.
- what is the qa process
all of these information cab be put up to the wiki in a few hours by
those who know the answers.
if these and may be a few other question can be public and clean to the
community we can arrange resources and probably can speed up the updates
and release process. eg. i'm very interesting how long will it take the
5.4 release (as we all remember how can one man can stop the whole 5.3
release process and no one like to repeat it again).

The Bind update for EL4 was just announced, packages that fix the issues
( see https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2009-1179.html ) are available
for C4 at
http://dev.centos.org/~z00dax/c4-bind/
we dont normally release updates till the packages used for the build
are also available, however since this is a major issue - it would be
nice to get these updates out right away.
Keeping that in mind could someone test for :
a) install these packages, make sure they work for the basic stuff
b)…
[View More] update an existing bind install on C4 and make sure it does not break
anything
c) ensure that the deps for the actual binaries are met cleanly within
the existing CentOS-4 os + updates set.
As soon as we can get reasonable testing feedback here, we can push
these packages into the released updates pool.
Thanks

Dear everyone:
I have a question, when I try to compile *kernel-2.6.30.1*, but after I
compiled modules, I always cannot get any .ko files, and it showed:
*Building modules, stage 2.
MODPOST 0 modules*
My working kernel is *2.6.18-128.2.1.el5* CentOS 5, and I have update
everything to up-to-data by "yum update".
Did anyone know why it is?
By the way, my compile kernel step is that:
1) make mrproper
2) make menuconfig
3) make bzImage
4) make modules
5) make install
6) make modules_install
