Identi.ca and GCL or clisp
by Isaac Cortés 08 Nov '11

08 Nov '11

Is there a identi.ca client that I can use? And why there is not GCL or clisp in the repo? How can I get them? -- *“But JavaSchools also fail to train the brains of kids to be adept, agile, and flexible enough to do good software design (and I don’t mean OO “design”, where you spend countless hours rewriting your code to rejiggle your object hierarchy, or you fret about faux “problems” like has-a vs. is-a). You need training to think of things at multiple levels of abstraction simultaneously, and that kind of thinking is exactly what you need to design great software architecture.” *

[urgent] Please, push tzdata update from CR into main 6.0 repo.
by Alex/AT 03 Nov '11

03 Nov '11

Good day. The "tzdata-2011h-3.el6.noarch.rpm" needs to be pushed into mainline 6.0 repo ASAP. The mainline 6.0 repo version of tzdata contains no update for latest Russian (and maybe some others, don't know) timezone changes, causing major headaches. I know it's against mainline policy, but here overal stability is an issue. Probably it has to be pushed as .centos update variant. -- Regards, Alexey Asemov Senior IPTech Specialist CJSC "SPb TELEPORT" (TTK-NW)

Word of Appriciation

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

The CR-Repo is very much appreciated and - imho - should have a place in the mainline repo. This might also take some load off of the mirrors during point release time (as most packages from /os are already updated via /cr - for those who use it. Did I get that one right?) Changing my mirrorlayout should be no problem. +1 all the best Christoph
