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.

CentOS 6 status update (relayed from the web forum)
by Matthew Miller 05 Jun '11

05 Jun '11

<https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=25878&forum=53> My current understanding is that the ongoing build of CentOS 6.0 is still running in minimal mode. I expect it to pick up speed once all the current CentOS 5.6 updates have been built and pushed to the update queue. I will be discussing the 6.0 build status with Karanbir in the next few days and hopefully will have something a little less tenuous to report early-ish next week. I think it is fair to say that as CentOS 6.0 is a new entry into the product line, it may spend somewhat more time in QA whilst the critical eyes give it close scrutiny. -- Alan Presumably, this means that it is reasonable to expect a longer window than the early optimistic estimates of two weeks after the CentOS 5.6 release. -- Matthew Miller mattdm(a)mattdm.org <http://mattdm.org/>

Hi all, It could be useful to make "yum updates --security" work, and now, spacewalk (since 1.4) can generate erratas from this file. Thanks for yours answers. Regards.

Test scripts - some starter questions.
by Steve Barnes 04 May '11

04 May '11

Hi list A few questions regarding the scope of test scripts that have been requested: - is there a git repository or similar source that contains all of the currently available test scripts? It would be helpful to know that, given my copious spare time, I'm not re-inventing any wheels or contributing the 57th LAMP install script. - relating to package installation test scripts, would there be any appreciable benefit to simply throwing everything + kitchen sink at the wall and see what _doesn't_ stick? (i.e., yum install every single available package one after the other and record any failures?) This seems like a more...comprehensive method of uncovering package installation issues than me simply picking "my top 10 favourite/most well known" yum packages. - is the scope for test scripts "anything you can think of that performs some kind of configuration change with a measurable return value" - e.g, tests that cover (for example) networking configuration, partition/filesystem creation, package installation, firewall configuration, user/group account creation/deletion/editing, SSH key generation etc etc etc? - at present, each test script needs to be self-contained. To reduce the amount of code duplication/maintenance is there any intention (or objection) to developing a library of helper functions? Thank you! Steve

If that's the case, having a > champion or some expertise in the group could end up being the > deciding factor. Hi! I am an admin for Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware, I suggest to take a look: "Tiki is a full-featured, web-based, multilingual (40+ languages), tightly integrated, all-in-one Wiki+CMS+Groupware, Free Source Software (GNU/LGPL), using PHP, MySQL, Zend Framework, jQuery and Smarty. Actively developed by a very large international community, Tiki can be used to create all kinds of Web applications, sites, portals, knowledge bases, intranets, and extranets." Recent interview on FLOSS Weekly: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8tjaz6CO3Q It is both similar and different to Drupal. Similar: community-backed general purpose FOSS web app with tons of features. Different: Tiki has scheduled releases, all-in-one model and a wiki-way approach to the whole project. The "Tiki model" consists of: * Wiki community (do-ocracy) * Wiki way participation to the code (475+ with full write access to the complete code base) * Scheduled releases (2 major releases per year) * All-in-one codebase (1 000 000 lines of code, with everything bundled. Each feature is optional) * Inherent synchronized releases (all features have to be ready at the same time) * Lots of features, but no duplication (in a wiki, similar/related content is merged, so the same is applied to features) * Dogfood (Tiki is a community recursively developing a community management system) * Very open community. Everything is discussed. You can read the details here: http://tiki.org/Model It's the FOSS Web application with the most built-in features in the World. I realize the initial reaction is "OMG, how can it be stable? it must be so bloated!". In reality, because everthing is built-in, you just activate what you need. There is virtually no feature duplication and a high collaboration throughout the code-base. In contrast, other major CMS projects have 5000, 6000 or 7000 external modules/extensions and you need to manage the dependencies and compatibility (making upgrades difficult) OpenAtrium is a distribution of Drupal. They pick & choose from the thousands of 3rd party modules to tailor to a specific use case. In Tiki, since the code base for all Tikis is identical, sites can be configured using "Profiles" (community configurations managed in wiki pages): http://profiles.tiki.org/ You have the exact same code base as everyone else in the community, and you can just (de)activate any feature, making your upgrades easy. I realize that you currently have a myriad of apps (and it must be a challenge!) and that won't change overnight. If you want a progressively better integration of the various parts (wiki, portal, bug tracker, forum, etc.), do take a look at Tiki. Tiki has been downloaded over 900 000 times since 2002. I'd be glad to answer any and all questions :-) Best regards, -- Marc Laporte http://tiki.org/Model
