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

/opt/rh is a directory and not a symbolic link when installing devtoolset
by Dave Johansen 11 Feb '14

11 Feb '14

I just installed devtoolset-1.1-gcc-c++ and devtoolset-1.1-gcc-plugin-devel on a clean install and after doing so /opt/rh was a directory and not a symbolic link to /opt/centos. It was an easy fix, but is there something I can do to help diagnose the cause of the issue so it won't bite other people? Thanks, Dave

FreeIPA functional testing
by James Hogarth 01 Feb '14

01 Feb '14

Hi all, The initial commit I made (not carried out pull request just yet) does the following: * Installs IPA packages * Does automated basic configuration of server * Verifies kerberos tickets being issued for host/admin user * Tests adding a user (and checks that the initial password is expired plus the change) In the next few days I'm intending to add: * Test adding a service and getting a keytab and certificate for that service * Test adding a host * Test adding DNS zone and records * Test reloading bind (regression test for RHBA-2013-0739) * Test sudo rules configured via IPA * Test deleting all the stuff added above After that I'll issue the pull request... Next stage subsequent to the server tests working would be client side to tests registration against the IPA server itself... Is there anything else that anyone can think of that would be useful to have in the IPA test suite? Cheers, James

Is Qt Creator for Qt 4 available for CentOS (either 5 or 6)? I've installed the qt and qt-devel packages on CentOS 6 and I can launch Qt Designer, but is there a version of Qt Creator available? Thanks, Dave

Current gdm update without initscripts update on CentOS 5
by Simon Matter 06 Sep '13

06 Sep '13

Hi, The current gdm update https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2013-1213.html comes with an updated initscripts package. Currently a CentOS 5 gets the gdm update but not the initscripts package. Isn't it dangerous for those running with X because gdm doesn't create /tmp/.X11-unix anymore and the new initscripts, which creates it now, is not already available? Regards, Simon

Kernel bug fix that restores SSD performance -- testing sought
by Akemi Yagi 03 Sep '13

03 Sep '13

According to this bug report: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=6548 (originally from http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=642729 ) a patch introduced in kernel 2.6.32 causes a performance drop in [certain] SSDs. This patch was later reverted in the mainline kernel. With this kernel, the reporter says, the SSD performance is now what is expected from the spec. I have built a centosplus kernel that has the referenced patch reverted. My limited test (using hdparm) did show some improvement with this kernel. kernel-ml from ELRepo (currently at 3.10.0-1.el6) gave a number similar to this plus kernel. http://people.centos.org/toracat/kernel/6/plus/bug6548/ Please test if you can and report back with your findings (good, bad, no diff ...). Note that the packages are not signed and are provided for testing purposes only. Thanks in advance for your input. Akemi / toracat
