forums + portal for {lang}.centos.org sites

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.

Remember that these rpms wont move into the main CentOS repos till such time as there is significant feedback about, it works. And little or no feedback saying its broken. As this is also the first rpm into the c6/testing repo, feedback is also welcome about how we can improve the process. Regards, - KB

Re: [CentOS-devel] [Pulp-list] CentOS errata
by Peter Meier 10 Dec '11

10 Dec '11

> Sometime ago I also tried to write a scrapper script in python to get > all the erratas. My major crib that time was: > 1. No fixed format of the subject line which made it difficult to > scrap the package name I think this is something that CentOS could improve in general about how their Erratas are available. Karanbir Singh recently mentioned on #pulp, that if there is something that could be done to help to integrate CentOS better into pulp, this should be brought up to the CentOS developers. (If I understood his comment correctly....) So this is imho something that could be brought up on the centos-devel list, or on the more appropriate one, if that doesn't fit there. Hence, I CC this to the centos-devel list. I hope this is fine for everybody. @centos-devel: Thread: https://www.redhat.com/archives/pulp-list/2011-November/msg00110.html > 2. Red Hat would announce the errata and only after a few days centos > errata will come out. The time gap in the two made the server > vulnerable. This is the price you pay for CentOS. If you don't like that, you should buy RedHat. ~pete

Regarding the Xen Headers for centOS 6.0 (32-bit)
by Ramana Reddy 30 Nov '11

30 Nov '11

Hi Everyone, I installed CentOS 6.0 as VM on XenServer 6.0, but it seems that the CentOS 6.0 does not contain xen headers. Where should I get those headers. Some how I got 64-bit CentOS 6.0 Xen headers, and if I use in CentOS 6.0 32-bit OS, what are the complications. How can we rewrite the 64-bit headers to 32-bit headers. Help in this regard is highly appreciated. Thanks, Ramana.

by Ulrich Leodolter 28 Nov '11

28 Nov '11

hi, what happens when RHEL 6.2 is out before CentOS 6.1, will CR 6 contain updates from 6.2 even though CentOS 6.1 is not released ? looks like there are still some major showstoppers which prevent CentOS 6.1 release. regards, ulrich
