anaconda dependency calculation?
by Nicholas Byrne 04 Aug '25

04 Aug '25

Hi all, I'm trying to find a tool that calculates all dependencies for a specific package or group of packages for use with CentOS 5 (beta) with the intention of putting together a custom single CD build of CentOS 5. With CentOS 4 i used a python script that used the hdrlist module to find all dependencies which borrowed code from a number of sources. I've looked at yumdownloader and how it checks dependencies (using the --resolve option) but if i pass it the list of packages defined in say the Base and the Core yum groups which generally form an absolute minimal install i end up with about 200 packages. If i do a custom install (using beta 1 disks) and deselect everything i end up with over 300 packages. So i'm guessing anaconda calculates dependencies in a slightly different way, can anyone point me to files/code where i should be looking to find out?

forums + portal for {lang}.centos.org sites
by Karanbir Singh 16 Aug '24

16 Aug '24

Hi, Earlier in the evening today Ralph, Fabian and I had a chat about the present state of the language subsites. This email sort of summarises the main issue ( s/w ). We seem to have run into a slight technical hitch with punbb/fluxbb. They dont support LDAP as a backend. And we had decided a few months back that all new rollouts must have ldap backend so we can rollin CentOS-DS / openldap based backend. So we need to look at alternatives, and since the primary focus of these international sites is going be forums : Here is a shortlist ( if there is anything else that people are aware of, please add to this list ) - phpBB - SMF - Fudforum - phorum - fluxbb Requirements: - Must be able to scale ( couple of hundred thousand msgs ) - Must be able to handle ldap auth ( if it cant, whats involved in writing the ldap-auth portion ) - Must address the specific requirements raised by the present www.centos.org forum users ( Can you please fill this section in ? ) - Must support all languages we need ( pure utf8 support would be good ) - Secure - Skin'able Nice to have: - Capable of running multiple instances from a single deployment - responsive community :D Things we will need to do: - Decide on what s/w to use. - Give the ArtWork people enough time to get the look & feel sorted. - Migrate newbb forums from www.centos.org to $system ( hey, english is a language too :D ). - Migrate fr.centos.org into the final s/w - setup {de/es/ja/it/pt_br}.centos.org Actions: Ralph and Fabian are going to work on setting up a test ldap server, once that is online we will then start by installing into our test-vm-farm the various s/w to eval them. If anyone would like to help, please feel free to jump right in. I'll setup a wiki page for this issue, which might be a good place to track progress. -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219@icq

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.

Word of Appriciation
by christoph 02 Nov '11

02 Nov '11

I would like to say a big "Thank you" to all of the developers of CentOS!! Especially since TUV released V6 it seems to have gotten a lot harder for you people in providing the community with this great OS (including but not limited to a lot of heat in the mailing lists). Thanks for carrying on! CentOS6 made my life at work much easier. I'm moving some 30+ machines (primary function iptables-Firewalling) from OpenSuSE to C6, so I won't have to do a major distro upgrade every 18 months. Since the first deployment of C6 starting this summer, it worked like a charm. Of course, I only use a very limited set of its features (basically "minimal desktop" is enough), but the long term support counts! Also the ps performance toolkit - which is based on C5 - works great, part to you guys providing the OS. The work you do is very much appreciated! Keep it up. cheers Christoph

Hello, I am trying to build an RPM with Mock via a git repo. It seems like I run into an issue with the Sources option inside my spec file: DEBUG: Initializing SCM integration...

CentOS 6.0 + CR vs RHEL 6.1 differences: flac
by Gianluca Cecchi 26 Oct '11

26 Oct '11

Hello, trying to replicate a rh el 6.1 configuration to a CentOS 6.0+CR. Original upstream server was installed in 6.0 and then updated gradually up to 6.1 and other packages (up to about first days of October). It is registered to additional channels such as High Availability, Resilient Storage. Overall its situation is this: # rhn-channel -l rhel-x86_64-server-6 rhel-x86_64-server-ha-6 rhel-x86_64-server-optional-6 rhel-x86_64-server-rs-6 rhel-x86_64-server-supplementary-6 rhel-x86_64-server-v2vwin-6 rhn-tools-rhel-x86_64-server-6 At the moment, I found some differences. I'm going to post different e-mails for different packages - flac On rh el 6.1 # rpm -q flac package flac is not installed On CentOS it is now installed, but if I try to remove it I get: [root@crhev3
