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

Re: [CentOS-devel] [Pulp-list] CentOS errata

> 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.

If you don't like that, you should buy RedHat. ~pete

Ruby and Rails packaging effort
by Anthony J Burton 08 Dec '11

08 Dec '11

I am working on getting Ruby and Rails working via RPMs on CentOS. It seems like much could be ported from Fedora, but that could very well be crazy talk on my part. We have a client who is using CentOS for whom we are delivering a working application, albeit with a lot of manual labor to get a working Ruby environment. Getting it working with RPM is part of the requirements and I'd like this to translate into a benefit for CentOS, if possible. We're using fpm right now to package the application. I have built and maintained RPMs in the past but am unfamiliar with the peculiarities of legacy commitments in CentOS (i.e. Ruby+Rails is a fast moving target; CentOS implies more stability). Any advice on getting this completed is welcomed. Thanks, Anthony

Incorrect info in .treeinfo file
by James Hogarth 01 Dec '11

01 Dec '11

As per http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=5237 the .treeinfo file still has a reference to boot.iso although it doesn't exist. This breaks 'smart mirror' stuff like pulp from syncing properly as it exits on the non-existent file when setting up a distribution tree for kickstart purposes. Any one with access able to remove/correct the errant line? Regards, James
