ksplice and CentOS
by Karanbir Singh 25 Sep '25

25 Sep '25

hi guys, lots of people on this list are keen on contributing to the CentOS effort - and one place where we could, as a group of people, make a massive difference is being able to deliver a ksplice upgrade model. A couple of people have started in silo's to try and get something together but I feel it might be a good time to try and see if we can do somethng as a group. Do we have people on the list who find the idea of rebootless kernel upgrades interesting ? Is there some desire to try and make that happen within the CentOS Ecosystem ? - KB

anaconda dependency calculation?
by Nicholas Byrne 04 Aug '25

04 Aug '25

Hi all, I'm trying to find a tool that calculates all dependencies for a specific package or group of packages for use with CentOS 5 (beta) with the intention of putting together a custom single CD build of CentOS 5. With CentOS 4 i used a python script that used the hdrlist module to find all dependencies which borrowed code from a number of sources. I've looked at yumdownloader and how it checks dependencies (using the --resolve option) but if i pass it the list of packages defined in say the Base and the Core yum groups which generally form an absolute minimal install i end up with about 200 packages. If i do a custom install (using beta 1 disks) and deselect everything i end up with over 300 packages. So i'm guessing anaconda calculates dependencies in a slightly different way, can anyone point me to files/code where i should be looking to find out?

forums + portal for {lang}.centos.org sites
by Karanbir Singh 16 Aug '24

16 Aug '24

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

After reading docs about RHEV, I have discarded (rebuilding RHEV and RHEM is too much). But not RedHat Storage Server. Reading about it, I see it is based in RHEL EUS 6.2.z and not RHEL 6.4 as I had been assumed. I have located the updates that RedHat has released for RHEL 6.2.z since Centos ceased to publish patches for 6.2 release. My question: If I not wrong, mock uses jails or chroot environments to rebuild packages. Can I use a CentOS 6.4 x86_64 host to rebuild all patches released by RedHat for RHEL 6.2.z and Storage Server 2.0 without problems?? Does someone has tested? P.D: Sorry for the cross posting to centos-devel, but maybe it is an interesting question to publish in centos-devel list.

tcl8.6 build fails
by Jens Neu 28 Jun '13

28 Jun '13

Dear list, I'm trying to build tcl8.6.0 which some developers want/need. Took the spec file from srpm, and updated to 8.6 as such: http://paste.debian.net/12932/ What I did: - updated version to 8.6.0 - disabled sdt - disabled patches for 5.8.x - changed configure options (s/disable-threads/enable-threads/) and gave it a try. it builds fine, works as far as %install, does the "for i in *.h" (line 104) and gives me a RPM build errors: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.Fxgmu1 (%install) now, what puzzles me: 1) the exit status does not give me a line or something what failed 2) the rpm-tmp.Fxgmu1 looks good from inspection 3) sh -x /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.Fxgmu1 runs happily and performs as expected. 4) rpmbuild -vv does not give any more clues as without. ideas anyone how to debug further? best regards Jens www.biotronik.com BIOTRONIK - Celebrating 50 years of excellence Founded in 1963 with the development of the first German pacemaker, BIOTRONIK has brought innovations and the highest quality standards to the cardiac rhythm management and vascular intervention fields in more than 100 countries around the world.

sos reports configured to send to redhat
by John Newbigin 26 Jun '13

26 Jun '13

Hi, I am looking at configuring sosreport on CentOS-6.4 and I was surprised to see the following config file: /etc/sos.conf: [general] ftp_upload_url = ftp://dropbox.redhat.com/incoming gpg_keyring = /usr/share/sos/rhsupport.pub gpg_recipient = support(a)redhat.com ... I don't know if those settings are being used but perhaps there should be a CentOS config or at least have these values stripped out. My reports are emailed to root. I am yet to work out the real configuration of sos/abrt.

How to rebuild the Centos 6.4 iso images with the same contents as officially released iso images ?
by Martin Robrecht 18 Jun '13

18 Jun '13

I have read many Centos webpages and mail archives but found only raw descriptions of the build process. My first aim is to rebuild CentOS-6.4-x86_64-LiveCD.iso using the Centos repositories and preferably without recompiling the SRPMs, just to verify the build process. My final aim is to create a Centos LiveOS contain the packages in CentOS-6.4-x86_64-minimal.iso plus some network configuration changes and some own executables preinstalled. --- Only background, not part of the question --- I tried to build a LiveOS on Centos6.4 x86_64 host using livecd-creator ( livecd-tools-13.4-2.el6.x86_64 ): LANG=C livecd-creator --config=centos-livecd-minimal.ks –fslabel=CentOS-minimal centos-livecd-minimal.ks ( adapted from https://projects.centos.org/trac/livecd/browser/trunk/CentOS5/centos-livecd… ) : lang en_US.UTF-8 keyboard us timezone US/Eastern auth --useshadow --enablemd5 selinux --enforcing firewall --disabled repo --name=a-base --baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6.4/os/x86_64 repo --name=a-updates --baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6.4/updates/x86_64 #repo --name=a-extras --baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6.4/extras/x86_64 repo --name=a-live --baseurl=http://www.nanotechnologies.qc.ca/propos/linux/centos-live/x86_64/live %packages bash kernel syslinux passwd policycoreutils chkconfig authconfig rootfiles comps-extras xkeyboard-config %end The generated .iso File fails to boot on a real and on a VirtualBox machine with a problem in the initial ramdisk : dracut: Fatal: Don't know how to handle 'root=live:UUID=a68d794a-d777-4e4f-86ba-d2cc50d8fa1e' dracut: Refusing to continue Kernel panic – not syncing : Attempted to kill init

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

Corosync/Pacemaker mess after upgrade to 6.4
by France 11 Jun '13

11 Jun '13

Hi all, i've been using Corosync (with Pacemaker) for my production HA iscsi service. Upon upgrading to CentOS 6.4, the upgraded node will not join the cluster. It might also be a bug within pacemaker code, but i'm not sure. There is also crm command missing (i know i can get in from suse repo). I saw the RH's 6.4 technical notes: https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux… where they suggest we move to cman. Because the upgrade brakes working cluster with corosync/pacemaker setup, i would like to propose, that we add this into to release notes for CentOS 6.4. I'm also thinking about the best way to get fully working cluster back. All suggestions are welcome. Please note that we must not stop currently running resources. Is it possible, that there is a bug in new pacemaker (1.1.8-7.el6) and it won't work with old pacemaker (1.1.7-6.el6) or are they just incompatible be default? (Nodes after upgrade don't see each other.) I also wonder, will corosync be removed in future RH 6.* releases and should i move over to cman? Regards, F.
