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.

qaweb dashboard and dates displayed
by Gianluca Cecchi 29 Feb '12

29 Feb '12

Hello, hope that this could be correct target to post, as I don't find any link directly on the web site. I notice that going to http://qaweb.dev.centos.org/qa/dashboard some posts don't get updated with the correct timestamp as days pass through. For example when you click on the article First CentOS 6.2 Tree and ISOs make it to QA you can see that the comment from Jeff " As of last night we have an installable x86_64 tree for testing. The i386 tree has some issues with the installer that need to be fixed. " keeps getting marked as "4:42pm Today" HIH giving better information, Gianluca

custom iso spin
by Larry Brigman 04 Jan '12

04 Jan '12

I see the small ISO images but I would like to build something custom but not a live image. What tools do you use to create these images? Is there some documentation on building a custom iso spin? I would also like to be able to drive the tools.

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

TOMOYO security module in the centosplus kernel

I would like to continue this thread under a new subject.

Created http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=5219 for this topic. As can be seen in that bug report, the centosplus kernel has had TOMOYO security module enabled since kernel-2.6.32-131.21.1.el6. Handa-san, do you think it is a good idea to apply patches [1] referenced on the TOMOYO 2.2 page [2]? The cplus kernel can easily accommodate patches like that until they eventually appear in the upstream kernel.

recent versions of mock and TMPDIR
by Florian La Roche 22 Dec '11

22 Dec '11

Recent versions of mock have added TMPDIR environment, but this seems to break e.g. the eclipse rebuild for RHEL5. I think keeping mock more compatibel with older rpm package builds should be a high priority. I've filed the following bugzilla for this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=769728 best regards, Florian La Roche

21 Dec '11

Hi, Seems that a few source RPMs are missing from the link: http://mirror.centos.org/centos-6/6.0/os/SRPMS/Packages/ (bash, nss-util, I could attempt to make a list if needed) These are available here: ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/6Server/en/os/SRPMS Will missing the mirror be updated soon?, can I help? Thank you, Adrian

non-gzipped comps.xml is missing from CentOS 6.2's repository
by David Robinson 21 Dec '11

21 Dec '11

Hi all, The repository metadata file for CentOS 6.2 (repomd.xml) contains a sha256 hash for the non-gzipped comps.xml file (<hash>-c6-x86_64-comps.xml), but the file is missing from the repository. According to repomd.xml, this file should exist: http://mirror.linux.duke.edu/pub/centos/6.2/os/x86_64/repodata/3a27232698a2… The corresponding file exists in the CentOS 6.1's repo (there's 8 files in the repodata directory for 6.1, but only 7 for 6.2). A simple "zcat badeded316fc87571779d92c5cde816fdc357646b84cb191c4611e05c981ffa1-c6-x86_64-comps.xml.gz > 3a27232698a261aa4022fd270797a3006aa8b8a346cbd6a31fae1466c724d098-c6-x86_64-comps.xml" on the master mirror would fix the problem, but someone may want to look into the root cause... I'd look myself but have no idea how the build system works and doubt the logs would be publicly available (happy to be educated/pointed in the right direction thou). -- Dave

centos-release-cr package
by Trent Johnson 16 Dec '11

16 Dec '11

Re: the comment on qaweb about skipping CR for 6.1 It would be nice if the centos-release-cr package was included in the base distribution at release time, even if the cr repo is empty. We put the centos-release-cr in kickstarts, but then the kickstarts break during the time when there is no centos-release-cr package available anywhere. Thanks, Trent
