Documentation Help
by Brad Potts 24 Sep '09

24 Sep '09

Hello, Karanbir Singh told me that I might be able to help CentOS with the 5.3 documentation. He tell me the effort is something Tim Verhoeven has taken under his belt. Can somebody tell me how I might be able to contribute? Some background: I'm a programmer for a living (C#, Java) but am also fairly knowledgeable about awk, sed, perl, a little C, etc. Hope this helps... -- Brad Potts "Comfort is the antidote to success" — Unknown

Package backports - 5.4 kernel
by Jason Parker 23 Sep '09

23 Sep '09

According to upstream release notes, there were API/ABI changes with OFED stuff. If userspace is not updated accordingly, it is very likely that there will be breakage. There were several other things in the upstream release notes that I don't see mentioned anywhere with this kernel release (examples: ext4dev, bonding+ipv6). Are there plans to do this? As the release is already syncing to mirrors, I suspect the answer is "no". I can't agree with this new policy, and I hope these comments demonstrate why.

WebsiteVer2 - LDAP Management Platform
by Marcus Moeller 23 Sep '09

23 Sep '09

Hi again, as requested I am starting a new thread on the -devel list concerning the technical aspects of the new Web Environment we are working towards. We have successfully set up an LDAP bind with phpBB and written a script that let's us import the existing data from the XOOPS site: http://wiki.centos.org/WebsiteVer2/forums/newbb_to_phpbb We are still in need of a LDAP management platform and I was wondering if we could use 389/CentOS Directory Server for that. Best Regards Marcus

kabi tracking build problem
by Ross Walker 22 Sep '09

22 Sep '09

I am working on a spec file that attempts to build weak modules if desired, but seem to be missing something. It is building dependencies that can't be satisfied: # rpm -ivh kmod-iscsitarget-svn_r236-1_2.6.18_128.7.1.el5.x86_64.rpm error: Failed dependencies: ksym(fsync_bdev) = c0b9afbe is needed by kmod-iscsitarget-svn_r236-1_2.6.18_128.7.1.el5.x86_64 ksym(sync_page_range) = f15905e0 is needed by kmod-iscsitarget-svn_r236-1_2.6.18_128.7.1.el5.x86_64 I can build kernel specific versions without an issue.

options on publishing a timeline
by Karanbir Singh 22 Sep '09

22 Sep '09

Hi, while waiting for some tests to finish, I drew this up: http://www.karan.org/stuff/c5-release-plan.jpeg its no where near complete, at the moment it has perhaps half of all the things that need doing. But overall it should give people an idea on what happens. Now for the questions: - Whats good way to publish something like this so it does not get in the way. For the people who need to keep it going, as well as for people looking for info. - How might one factor in timetaken or things. One option is that we just dont do that for one release, then use the timings from that release for estimates on the next release - hopefully getting better and more accurate in a few cycles like that. - does anyone know of a non-java based ( flash is fine ) mindmap renderer that could get its data from a db ( so more than 1 person can edit things and we could use the same data at other places as well ) -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219@icq

yum-3.2.22 in c5-testing
by Karanbir Singh 21 Sep '09

21 Sep '09

Hi, There is a yum-3.2.22 in the c5-testing repo's. This is what will be most likely the next yum update in CentOS-5, so please test. Things that would be good to get feedback on are exactly how the behavior changes for people with modified / customised configs and repo setups. Feedback here on the list would be ideal. http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories for info on howto setup the Testing repo if you dont have it already. -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219@icq

Hi. For an upcoming promo event, may I get some sample 5.4 files for t-shirts and posters from the Artwork SIG? Or should I just use a sample from here: http://wiki.centos.org/ArtWork/Preview-5.4 ? Thanks. gd
