httpd from testing replace httpd.conf
by Paulo Martinez 24 Jan '10

24 Jan '10

Hi all, while switching from [updates] httpd-2.2.3-31.el5.centos.2.src.rpm to [c5-testing] httpd-2.2.8-1.el5s2.centos.src.rpm i noticed that httpd.conf will be replaced. That should not be intentional? Comparing the spec-files shows [updates] %config(noreplace) %{_sysconfdir}/httpd/conf/httpd.conf [c5-testing] %config %{_sysconfdir}/httpd/conf/httpd.conf httpd-2.2.8-1.el5s2 is from RHWAS right? Regards PM

why is the addons repo empty?
by Felix Schwarz 16 Jan '10

16 Jan '10

Hi, today I noticed that yum-priorities is not anymore in the base distribution - a fact that seems to be well documented. However the yum-utils src rpm still builds that package. Therefore I was wondering why yum-priorities is available in extras and not in addons. Basically http://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/General says: > What are all the CentOS repositories (directories) and what is each one > for? > > addons > Contains packages required in order to build the main Distribution or > packages produced by SRPMS built in the main Distribution, but not included > in the main Red Hat package tree (mysql-server in CentOS-3.x falls into > this category). Packages contained in the addons repository should be > considered essentially a part of the core distribution, but may not be in > the main Red Hat Package tree. However the addons repo is completely empty for CentOS 5.4. Does that mean addons is deprecated? fs

Re: [CentOS-devel] [CentOS-docs] Article on building i586 CentOS-5 kernel

I've been held up by my work, but here is the continuation of the conversation regarding i586 CentOS-5: On 01/11/2010 08:18 PM, Karanbir Singh wrote: >> * Can the changes mentioned in that article be incorporated into the >> stock SRPM?

For my purpose, yes. The modified kernel and glibc.i386 and openssl.i386 are all I needed to get the system running from CF card. I'm not using the procps RPM, but using busybox instead. I never tested Xen support on the i586 kernel. The "CentOS5PentiumSupport" wiki doc mentioned that "-ffast-math" generated CMOV instructions in .i386 packages. That sounds more like a gcc bug. So instead of patching all the packages that enable "-ffast-math", patching gcc would be the ultimate solution. > If there is reasonable interest in running a i586 tree, then imho, a SIG > dedicated to this would be the best route to go.

I can see that the amount of physical hardware available for testing i586 packages is limited, but I guess when CentOS-4 reaches EOL, some people might opt for a CentOS-5 upgrade path. Anyway, I'm happy to help out with any testing on physical hardware. When I do find the time, I'll try to look into the CMOV and gcc issue, but no promises there. One thing I'm not good at is organizing things, so I won't volunteer to initiate the SIG... Regards, Timothy Lee

Forum Thread -- Relating to the CentOS 5 Testing Repository
by Alan Bartlett 13 Jan '10

13 Jan '10

There has been a recent forum thread [1] where the OP has asked about the C-5 Testing Repository and the php packages contained therein. When the time permits, would one of the core-devs please post a comment to that thread. Having defocussed my eyes, I mentally see an image of Tru, Johnny, Karanbir, Ralph or Russ checking the quoted URL . . . Regards, Alan.

reboots ahead
by Karanbir Singh 05 Jan '10

05 Jan '10

hi guys, just a quick note to say that there will be reboots on all *.dev.centos.org nodes ( including real machines ) but not on dev.centos.org itself. Reboots should happen during the day 7th Jan UTC. Given that this impacts so few people ( and everyone is here on this list ) I'm not sending this to the announce list. Questions, issues - come find us on #centos-devel(a)irc.freenode.net or just here in the mailing list. -- Karanbir Singh London, UK | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh ICQ: 2522219 | Yahoo IM: z00dax | Gtalk: z00dax GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc
