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.

CentOS for ARM
by Gordan Bobic 25 Mar '12

25 Mar '12

Hi guys, I recently became aware that this is being worked on as of recently. A similar thing already exists, though. Those interested in an ARM port may also be interested in taking a look at RedSleeve Linux, which is an ARM port of the same upstream distribution as CentOS. You can look here for more info: http://www.redsleeve.org/about/ http://www.redsleeve.org/ In total 109 SRPMs had to be modified in order to get them to build and work on ARM. They are in SRPMS/changed directory on the RedSleeve mirror. (Note: About 5 of those 109 were changed in order to remove the upstream branding which isn't relevant to the CentOS effort as it is already taken care of. It is quite well known what those are.) I hope this is of interest to the CentOS ARM port efforts. Or, you could take RedSleeve for a spin, since that is already available. :) Gordan

Automating Artwork Production
by Alain Reguera Delgado 24 Mar '12

24 Mar '12

Hello, I've been in silence a long time so far because it is very difficult for me to have real Internet access. However, I've kept myself working for CentOS and now, I publish what I've been doing for you to evaluate and propose considerations. I know the wiki is not the best place to post this information, but it is the only one I have access to (because restrictions on my side, not yours). Excuse me for that. The centos-art.sh script: http://wiki.centos.org/AlainRegueraDelgado?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=… Documentation about the CentOS Artwork Repository (centos-art.sh script included): http://wiki.centos.org/AlainRegueraDelgado?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=… The CentOS Artwork Repository Tree for which all automation was done. http://wiki.centos.org/AlainRegueraDelgado?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=… The centos-web.cgi: http://wiki.centos.org/AlainRegueraDelgado?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=… That's it for now. I'll try to download the mailing list archives to read your comments and when possible replay them. Thank you very much for all the work you do. I'll try to be back as soon as possible. Best Regards, al.

repo extras enabled by default
by Leon Fauster 08 Mar '12

08 Mar '12

Despite the decision to place the centos-release-cr rpm into the extras repository. I just want to ask if there are some thoughts on keeping the extras repository disabled by default? Or use extras for just that extras (e.g. centos-release-cr) and move current extras rpms into the addons repo? this came here up while auditing a system etc. - i noticed some rpms from extras. just thinking loud LF
