Questions about the centos rebuild process / s390x related
by Sascha Thomas Spreitzer 11 Jul '09

11 Jul '09

Hello hackers, i have been asked from some companies, 1. how long it would take to rebuild a centos from scratch if I would have a whole CP (common processor) for it. 2. What the build process includes, meaning "steps to success" 3. whether the licenses force a maintainer to push the resulting distribution upstream. 4. In which cases the maintainer is liable for the resulting distribution rpms, binaries, etc... It would be VERY helpful if I can clarify those questions. It might spend us 1 CP. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, / with kind regards, Sascha Thomas Spreitzer http://spreitzer.name/

sqlite in CentOS4 ... why?
by Adam Miller 09 Jul '09

09 Jul '09

I was recently told that sqlite is now in base in CentOS4, I was wondering why this is since "upstream" doesn't ship it. [root@fooBox ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 8) [root@fooBox ~]# up2date --showall | grep -i sqlite [root@fooBox ~]# -Adam -- http://maxamillion.googlepages.com --------------------------------------------------------- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments

Starting a s390x rebuild on my own
by Sascha Thomas Spreitzer 09 Jul '09

09 Jul '09

Good morning hackers, me and others tried to form a special interest group and didn't succeed well. So im starting my own rebuild now. I have access to a z/VM guest and some hercules with 1k mips, too Ill inform you next time the CentOS 5.3 basic package set has been created. Id be thankful if the final version could be mirrored upstream. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, / with kind regards, Sascha Thomas Spreitzer http://spreitzer.name/

Libraries not stripped in rebuilt rpms and larger packages
by Luigi Iotti 09 Jul '09

09 Jul '09

Hi all I usually rebuild some CentOS rpm packges with some changes I need. I noticed that I obtain slightly larger packages than the ones found in the centOS distribution, even if I rebuild a source rpm without changing anything. I looked in it, and it turned out that my shared libraries are not stripped, where the ones found in your packages are. For example, I just rebuilt the openldap packages, and obtained a package that is about 3 times larger: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10899106 Jul 7 22:42 my/openldap-servers-2.3.43-3.el5.lux.2.i386.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3202917 Jul 8 16:38 orig/openldap-servers-2.3.43-3.el5.i386.rpm I extracted the packages with rpm2cpio, and the difference in size are in the shared libraries, for example: # ls -l */usr/lib/libslapd_db-4.4.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6518365 Jul 8 16:42 my/usr/lib/libslapd_db-4.4.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1032880 Jan 21 10:00 orig/usr/lib/libslapd_db-4.4.so # file */usr/lib/libslapd_db-4.4.so my/usr/lib/libslapd_db-4.4.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped orig/usr/lib/libslapd_db-4.4.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), stripped Maybe the CentOS build system contains some macros that strip libraries, and the distributed macros do not. I put this in /etc/rpm/macros (the line calling brp-strip-shared was added to the analogous macro taken from /usr/lib/rpm/redhat): %__os_install_post \ /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-compress \ %{!?__debug_package:/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-strip %{__strip}} \ %{!?__debug_package:/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-strip-shared %{__strip}} \ /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-strip-static-archive %{__strip} \ /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-strip-comment-note %{__strip} %{__objdump} \ /usr/lib/rpm/brp-python-bytecompile \ /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-java-repack-jars \ %{nil} Do you see any problems doing so? Why there is this difference between packages distributed by CentOS and the same packages rebuilt in a CentOS environment? Thank you

Where can I help?
by Adam Miller 07 Jul '09

07 Jul '09

Hello all, My name is Adam Miller and I'm currently a Fedora Packager/Developer and Ambassador, also a RHEL admin by $dayjob. I've come to a point to where I rely on CentOS for my VPSs hosted via Linode.com and would like to contribute back to CentOS where I am able. I was curious if there are any areas of CentOS that are currently in need of help/involvement?

Building an automated rpm build system
by carlopmart 06 Jul '09

06 Jul '09

Hi all, I need to setup a centos 5 x86_64 server to build custom rpms for centos5, rhel5 and oel5. My requeriments are: - Build rpms only from src.rpm packages and .spec files. - Restrict architectures: I only need to build these packages for i386 and x86_64 hosts. - See logs when packages are builded. - Easy to install and lightweight, if it is possible. I have seen mock and koji. Mock it seems ver older but can I use to accomplish these? And koji it seems very complex. Any ideas?? Exists another build system?? Many thanks. -- CL Martinez carlopmart {at} gmail {d0t} com
