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

CentOS build/repo of MRG Realtime
by Lissade, Joel 12 Jun '13

12 Jun '13

We are interested in using CentOS 6.x with the MRG Realtime kernel. Are there any plans in providing a CentOS repository for the MRG packages? I was able to install the MRG realtime package from Scientific Linux distribution on top of CentOS 6.2 and run, but we would prefer to install from the CentOS repository. Thanks for any info, -Joel

Add clamav rpm to extras or contrib ??
by Ben Mohilef 24 May '13

24 May '13

There was a security update to clamav on 4/23/2013. RPM'S for this widely used antivirus used to be maintained in rpmforge, but they have no current updates in their repo for centos-5. Could this be added to either centos extras or centos contrib and maintained by someone on the centos team ? The rpm rebuild is pretty simple and takes a short amount of time and resource

Update wiki theme artworks
by Alain Reguera Delgado 24 May '13

24 May '13

Hi guys, It has been a long time since the last time we talked about CentOS artworks. So, it is time to throw some woods into the fire :). We have some theme updates for our wiki in the following location: https://projects.centos.org/svn/artwork/trunk/Identity/Webenv/Themes/Defaul… I'm wondering if it would be possible for someone to install this updates in a public test server where the community can test it and report their impressions. The relevant changes in this commit are: - Update brand information. The brand information used in the wiki was modified to fit the colors used by the CentOS symbols inside the CentOS distribution. There are small color differences between them and that is something we need to avoid. It is very important that brand information be exactly the same in all visual manifestations. The brand I present now for the wiki is a combination of "The CentOS Logo" followed by a "semitransparent-dotted horizontal bar" and the word "Wiki" next to it. This proportion seems to be well balanced and I would propose it for using in the CentOS websites. Inside this brand information, "The CentOS Logo" and the "semitransparent-dotted horizontal bar" do not change. The "Wiki" word can change to reflect other areas (e.g., Projects, People, Bugs, Blog, etc.). - Update admonitions visual style. The admonition visual style used in the wiki was modified based on DocBook XHTML output. Icons were also updated so the whole artwork result being more attractive and consistent. - The style related to tabs was revised and improved. Now tabs both upside and downside the page have rounded corners when you use firefox as web browser. - The trail of pages was moved from heading to page content. This way, heading will always have the same height, no matter if page trails are active or not. - No banner for external promotions visible. - Update heading background. Now it is an array of small blue circles. This background is the same we use in DocBook documentation. - Update content of RecentChanges page. Use admonitions in the hint section, remove left margin from tables, and remove extra space on images and icons shown inside recent changes tables. To show such changes, we add RecentChanges.png and RecentChanges.txt files. If you want your RecentChanges page to look like this, you need to edit the one you have on your wiki and replace its content with that in RecentChanges.txt instead.

Does RH make available the SRPMs for JBoss EWS? Specifically, I'm looking for tomcat7 (tomcat7-7.0.30-5_patch_02.ep6.el6.src.rpm) I poked around the JBoss SRPMs[1] but couldn't find any of the SRPMs for EWS. -Jacob [1] http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/6Server/en/JBEAP/SRPMS

Problem with xen packages

Hello, I am trying the xen 4.2 packages for centos 6.4 from http://dev.centos.org/centos/6/xen-c6/. I've found that some files are misplaced. Saving a domain crashes with this error: --8<------ [oneadmin@xen var]$ sudo xl save -c 14 checkpoint Saving to checkpoint new xl format (info 0x0/0x0/461) libxl: cannot execute /usr/lib/xen/bin/libxl-save-helper: No such file or directory libxl: error: libxl_utils.c:363:libxl_read_exactly: file/stream truncated reading ipc msg header from domain 14 save/restore helper stdout pipe libxl: error: libxl_exec.c:118:libxl_report_child_exitstatus: domain 14 save/restore helper [11440] exited with error status 255 Failed to save domain, resuming domain ------>8-- The package xen-runtime puts files in two different places (lib and lib64): --8<------ /usr/lib64/xen/bin/libxl-save-helper /usr/lib64/xen/bin/lsevtchn /usr/lib64/xen/bin/pygrub /usr/lib64/xen/bin/qemu-dm /usr/lib64/xen/bin/readnotes /usr/lib64/xen/bin/xc_restore /usr/lib64/xen/bin/xc_save /usr/lib64/xen/bin/xenconsole /usr/lib64/xen/bin/xenctx /usr/lib64/xen/bin/xenpvnetboot /usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-dm /usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-ga /usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-img /usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-io /usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-nbd /usr/lib/xen/bin/qemu-system-i386 /usr/lib/xen/bin/stubdom-dm /usr/lib/xen/bin/stubdompath.sh /usr/lib/xen/bin/tapdisk /usr/lib/xen/bin/xenpaging ------>8-- Making symlinks from lib64 to lib of libxl-save-helper, xc_save and xc_restore files makes this feature work.

MariaDB now available for Testing on CentOS-6
by Karanbir Singh 01 May '13

01 May '13

hi guys, quick start: drop http://dev.centos.org/centos/6/mariadb/mariadb.repo into /etc/yum.repos.d/ and yum list mariadb\* This is adapted from the Fedora spec adapted by Johnny for CentOS-6 and upgraded to 5.5.29; we have done some basic testing on these packages and they worked for us. We are now looking for wider testing and feedback about both the packaging, the payload and how its setup as well as any build issues. These packages are setup to replace MySQL on your machine, so be careful. And we consider these rpms to be of Testing grade, unsuiteable for production at this point. Post feedback as follow up to this email, or at bugs.centos.org/ Regards, -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc
