Interested in IA64 build.
by James A. Peltier 22 Jan '13

22 Jan '13

I noticed on the SIG that people interested in other ports of interest. I'd like to express interest in the IA64 port. What is the best way to get started? I have two SGI Itanium 2 based machines. One 64 processor x 64GB SGI Altix and a 32 processor x 32GB RAM SGI Prism. They are currently running CentOS 4.8 and I would love to be able to run CentOS 5.5 on them to get them into compliance with the rest of the cluster. -- James A.

Artwork for C6
by Karanbir Singh 07 Nov '10

07 Nov '10

Hi, with the EL6beta2 Refresh, I am going to guess that the rhel6 release isnt far - and one of the things that takes the longest to get sorted out in 'CentOS Lands' is the artwork components. It would be fantastic if we can get some of the centos-artwork packages into the testing repo's by the 15th Aug. So what all do we need in order to get there ? The components we need to start with are the gnome theme, *-artwork packages and *-logos packages. Can we also get a show of hands, on who all are working on these components ? Thanks - KB

Forums migration to phpbb
by Karanbir Singh 01 Oct '10

01 Oct '10

Starting a new thread... So there are a few things that need to be done with the forums : - Workable data migration path from the existing forums setup to phpbb - setup a single authentication module with its own account creation / deletion / admin interface - Migrating the wiki, bugs and www site to use the same auth mechanism. Things already done : + phpbb install and tested migration ( I am guessing this based on Marcus's last email ) Looking at the list of things that need to be done, I dont need to be or want to be involved with any of them, but am happy to project-manage if that is something which is needed. So, who's offering to do what ? Step-1 might be to check and verify that wiki/bugs/www can be migrated to using the ldap auth setup proposed for phpbb. - KB

a strange (new?) feature in rhel-6
by Farkas Levente 31 Jul '10

31 Jul '10

hi, i'm just accidentally recognize that on rhel-6: ---------------------------------------------- # rpm -qpi rhnsd-4.9.3-2.el6.x86_64.rpm warning: rhnsd-4.9.3-2.el6.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 signature: NOKEY, key ID f21541eb Name : rhnsd Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 4.9.3 Vendor: Red Hat, Inc. Release : 2.el6 Build Date: Wed 24 Mar 2010 03:11:14 PM CET Install Date: (not installed) Build Host: ls20-bc2-13.build.redhat.com Group : System Environment/Base Source RPM: rhnsd-4.9.3-2.el6.src.rpm Size : 92865 License: GPLv2 Signature : RSA/8, Tue 20 Apr 2010 07:50:37 PM CEST, Key ID 938a80caf21541eb Packager : Red Hat, Inc. <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla> URL : https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk Summary : CentOS Network query daemon Description : The CentOS Update Agent that automatically queries the CentOS Network servers and determines which packages need to be updated on your machine, and runs any actions. ---------------------------------------------- did you see the strange thing? (i run ths command on a centos system) so if centos just rebuild the same src.rpm then do not need to modify the package and the spec! (ok this pacakge won't be included in centos anyway, just an example) since in that case the buildhost and vendor changed because of the build system and the summary and other part will change "automagically" even if the spec file contains _hard coded_ "Red Hat". this can save same useless work.. just my 2c. -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"

tracking ABI changes in C/C++ libraries
by Andrey Ponomarenko 24 Jul '10

24 Jul '10

Hello, Colleagues! The new service for tracking ABI changes in various C/C++ libraries is now available for Linux distribution maintainers and upstream developers - "Upstream Tracker". It may be helpful for analyzing risks of libraries updating in the CentOS and other systems. The service includes more than 100 libraries at the moment: OpenSSL, ALSA, glib, cairo, libssh, fontconfig etc. The service is freely available at: http://linuxtesting.org/upstream-tracker/ Suggestions for libraries inclusion and feature/bug requests are very welcome. Thanks! -- Andrey Ponomarenko Linux Verification Center, ISPRAS web: http://www.linuxtesting.org mail: upstream-tracker(a)linuxtesting.org
