ELrepo video4linux on CentOS 5 2.6.18-128.4.1.el5xen - can't work !
by Philippe 07 Aug '09

hello, I'm running on centos5.3 xen [root@aberlour]# uname -a Linux aberlour 2.6.18-128.4.1.el5xen #1 SMP Tue Aug 4 21:33:24 EDT 2009 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux I installed elrepo to use my webcam(S). the package kmod-video4linux-xen is really installed: [root@aberlour]# rpm -qa|grep video kmod-video4linux-xen-0.0-5.20090615.el5.elrepo but when I "modprobe gspca_main" I've got. [root@aberlour]# modprobe gspca_main FATAL: Module gspca_main not found. the problem is that the module is located in the wrong directory [root@aberlour]# locate gspca_main.ko /lib/modules/2.6.18-128.el5xen/extra/video4linux/gspca_main.ko instead of: /lib/modules/2.6.18-128_.4.1._el5xen/extra/video4linux/gspca_main.ko I tried to link /lib/modules/2.6.18-128_.4.1._el5xen/extra to /lib/modules/2.6.18-128.el5xen/extra and run a depmod. But I got an error message [root@aberlour]# modprobe gspca_main FATAL: Error inserting gspca_main (/lib/modules/2.6.18-128.4.1.el5xen/extra/video4linux/gspca_main.ko): Invalid module format after having discussion (and many tests) with Phil Perry (from ELrepo) the conclusion is that their module is not compatible with CentOS XEN All the posts are here: http://lists.elrepo.org/pipermail/elrepo/2009-August/date.html#23 Can someone help ? how can I use a gspca driver ? regards philippe

lsinitrd rpm for centos
by Torbjørn Lindahl 07 Aug '09

07 Aug '09

I noticed lsinitrd is not available in the nash package. I guess it will be included in future RHEL6, but until then perhaps it could be useful to have it packed in an rpm. #centos adviced me to attach the spec file and link to a src rpm: http://torbjorn.org/dev/SRPMS/lsinitrd-1.0-1.src.rpm -- regards Torbjørn Lindahl

Python 2.4.3 deps issue.
by Rabie Van der Merwe 07 Aug '09

07 Aug '09

Hi, I just noticed that while doing an update on one of my CO5.3 x86_64 boxes it listed that it want's to install a load of extra packages (exhibit A) I then traced this back to yum wanting to update python to 2.4.3-24.el5_3.6. However when I check one of my RHEL servers it did not have this dependency (exhibit B) when I updated python. Is this a bug in the CO package build? Exhibit A: Installing for dependencies: GConf2 x86_64 2.14.0-9.el5 base 1.5 M ORBit2 x86_64 2.14.3-5.el5 base 263 k alsa-lib x86_64 1.0.17-1.el5 base 414 k atk x86_64 1.12.2-1.fc6 base 224 k audiofile x86_64 1:0.2.6-5 base 107 k avahi-glib x86_64 0.6.16-1.el5_2.1 update 14 k cdparanoia-libs x86_64 alpha9.8-27.2 base 51 k esound x86_64 1:0.2.36-3 base 130 k flac x86_64 1.1.2-28.el5_0.1 base 286 k gnome-keyring x86_64 0.6.0-1.fc6 base 166 k gnome-mime-data x86_64 2.4.2-3.1 base 691 k gnome-mount x86_64 0.5-3.el5 base 70 k gnome-vfs2 x86_64 2.16.2-4.el5 base 1.3 M gstreamer x86_64 0.10.20-3.el5 base 756 k gstreamer-plugins-base x86_64 0.10.20-3.0.1.el5_3 update 962 k gstreamer-plugins-good x86_64 0.10.9-1.el5_3.2 update 984 k gstreamer-plugins-good-devel x86_64 0.10.9-1.el5_3.2 update 161 k gstreamer-tools x86_64 0.10.20-3.el5 base 18 k gtk2 x86_64 2.10.4-20.el5 base 6.5 M hicolor-icon-theme noarch 0.9-2.1 base 25 k libIDL x86_64 0.8.7-1.fc6 base 87 k libXcursor x86_64 1.1.7-1.1 base 32 k libXfixes x86_64 4.0.1-2.1 base 15 k libXinerama x86_64 1.0.1-2.1 base 9.8 k libXrandr x86_64 1.1.1-3.1 base 15 k libXres x86_64 1.0.1-3.1 base 14 k libXv x86_64 1.0.1-4.1 base 14 k libart_lgpl x86_64 2.3.17-4 base 75 k libavc1394 x86_64 0.5.3-1.fc6 base 45 k libbonobo x86_64 2.16.0-1.fc6 base 521 k libbonoboui x86_64 2.16.0-1.fc6 base 394 k libdv x86_64 0.104-4.fc6.1 base 78 k libglade2 x86_64 2.6.0-2 base 96 k libgnome x86_64 2.16.0-6.el5 base 860 k libgnomecanvas x86_64 2.14.0-4.1 base 224 k libgnomeui x86_64 2.16.0-5.el5 base 984 k libiec61883 x86_64 1.0.0-11.fc6 base 37 k libnotify x86_64 0.4.2-6.el5 base 38 k libogg x86_64 2:1.1.3-3.el5 base 18 k liboil x86_64 0.3.8-2.1 base 136 k libraw1394 x86_64 1.3.0-1.el5 base 41 k libtheora x86_64 1.0alpha7-1 base 706 k libvorbis x86_64 1:1.1.2-3.el5_1.2 base 219 k libwnck x86_64 2.16.0-4.fc6 base 185 k notification-daemon x86_64 0.3.5-9.el5 base 48 k pkgconfig x86_64 1:0.21-2.el5 base 61 k shared-mime-info x86_64 0.19-5.el5 base 149 k speex x86_64 1.0.5-4.el5_1.1 base 207 k startup-notification x86_64 0.8-4.1 base 32 k Exhibit B: ---> Package python.x86_64 0:2.4.3-24.el5_3.6 set to be updated filelists.xml.gz | 22 kB 00:00 filelists.xml.gz | 2.1 MB 00:01 filelists.xml.gz | 153 kB 00:00 --> Processing Dependency: /usr/lib64/python2.4 for package: gamin-python --> Processing Dependency: /usr/lib64/python2.4 for package: libxml2-python --> Restarting Dependency Resolution with new changes.

ABI compliance checker
by Andrey Ponomarenko 06 Aug '09

06 Aug '09

Colleagues, I'm software engineer from Institute for System Programing of Russian Academy of Sciences and we are developing a free lightweight tool for checking backward/forward binary compatibility of shared C/C++ libraries in OS Linux. It checks interface signatures and data type definitions in two library versions (headers and shared objects) and searches ABI changes that may lead to incompatibility. We have released 1.1 version of this tool and we'd like you to consider its usefulness for your project. The wiki-page with the latest release of binary compatibility checker is http://ispras.linux-foundation.org/index.php/ABI_compliance_checker Andrey Ponomarenko

package for contrib repository

Hello, I want to help with making CentOS a bit more comfortable, so there is a spec of a little clipboard manager called Parcellite. Function that check links replaced, now based on protocol prefix instead of regex (pcre wrapper appeared in glib 2.16, but I'm not used to pcre to replace it). Actually I make rpms really rare, so wait for your comments (especially about dependencies). patch text placed after spec file. url of srpm - http://rapidshare.com/files/264092985/parcellite-0.9.1-1.src.rpm.html mirror - http://depositfiles.com/files/nel3gwg4p // sorry, I used English "readonly" most of my life. --- parcellite.spec --- Name: parcellite Version: 0.9.1 Release: 1%{?dist} Summary: Parcellite - Lightweight GTK+ Clipboard Manager Group: Applications/Applets License: GPLv3 URL: http://parcellite.sourceforge.net Source0: parcellite-%{version}.tar.gz Patch0: parcellite-%{version}-fix.patch BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n) BuildRequires: gtk2-devel >= 2.10.0, glib2-devel Requires: gtk2, glib2 %description Parcellite is a lightweight GTK+ clipboard manager.

Hi, I was surprised to read on CNet http://news.cnet.com/8301-1001_3-10300222-92.html that: "Dag Wieers, who works on the security, Web, and infrastructure aspects of CentOS" Which is not true and in fact was never true, but on the centos.org "development team" website I am listed as such. http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=2 Can someone remove my name from that page ? Thanks in advance, -- -- dag wieers, dag(a)wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]
