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.

Thanks Karanbir. I don't know if they will run on Centos-5, but I don't know if any dependencies offhand that would prevent that. If they don't build for 5, I have a VM that I can make a build with for that version, all my physical machines are on 6 now (and 6 is awesome by the way).

CentOS 5.7 has no centos-release-cr package
by Ben Galliart 28 Sep '11

28 Sep '11

Following the strong recommendation on the CentOS-announce mailing list, we had added the centos-release-cr package to our kickstart for PXE based installs. Since the release of 5.7, this kickstart fails since the centos-release-cr package can no longer be found. Given that there is a 5.7/cr directory, it appears the plans include having CR being an on-going convention rather than a on-time thing just for 5.7. If I understand this correctly that CR will be used again once upstream releases 5.8, then I would like to be able to leave centos-release-cr as part of my kickstart so it is already configured for the next batch of CR updates. Is it possible to add centos-release-cr to the 5.7/cr sometime soon? Also, on a somewhat related issue, is there a reason why this is not an single noarch package? Thanks

signing drpms
by Karanbir Singh 28 Sep '11

28 Sep '11

hi I've noticed that no one seems to be signing drpms. Is there a reason for that ? or is it just down to inconvenient ( its a bit messy needing to get drpms into secure-box type environments ), and of academic interest ( in that the re-assembled rpm will be signed, and need to go through a verify process ). - KB

Advice on compiling multiple packages with mock
by Ljubomir Ljubojevic 27 Sep '11

27 Sep '11

Can someone point me in the right direction? How do you compile multiple packages continuously with mock? I have some 50 srpms waiting to be recompiled via mock for both i386 and x86_64 (again). 1. Is there a command I can give so all the packages are compiled in one go? 2. Do I have to sort them in proper order (dependencies) or can I just command to mock to check and sort them? Any help is appreciated, examples welcomed. Thanks -- Ljubomir Ljubojevic (Love is in the Air) PL Computers Serbia, Europe Google is the Mother, Google is the Father, and traceroute is your trusty Spiderman...
