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.
