[PATCH] don't assume specfile name matches package name in get_sources
by Mike McLean 09 Jul '14

09 Jul '14

Some packages (notably SCL packages) do not specfile=%{name}.spec, so we shouldn't assume or assert this in get_sources.

Latest builds are now online 2014-06-25_build 4
by Karanbir Singh 05 Jul '14

hi, http://buildlogs.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64-20140625/ is now online, livemedia to match this tree is in the isos/ dir at http://buildlogs.centos.org/centos/7/isos/x86_64/ Cloud images, docker images, coming shortly. Note: this tree now has a centos-release that implements the scope of change we were talking about in the numbering thread. I went through quite a few permutations and what we have here seems like the best middle ground to be on. I am also going to try and circle back to some of the RH folks to make sure they are ok with how we message around where the CentOS Linux release is built from. Please also test scope and breath, The builds included address all closed bug reports so far, so please keep the reports coming as we start staging for final builds. -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

This sounds like fun, I'm wanting to start contributing to the CentOS project and this seems like it'd be a great way for me to start. I would love to be involved with this SIG.

DVD split media
by Karanbir Singh 03 Jul '14

03 Jul '14

Hi As in CentOS-6, I think we should skip the CD isos; there is little point in that ( but we should do the minimal ISO, lets keep conversation about that on its own thread ). The main distro is just a hint over 6.6GB, that means we cant really put all the stuff into a single DVD[1]; so we need to do the splits. In the past, we've done multiple installs making sure that all the installable components from the installer's groups, in english atleast, are all on DVD#1 and the rest can goto DVD#2. I suspect that strategy will work here as well, and does someone want to give it a shot and come up with a list of rpms that are installable via the installer. If anyone is wondering about the rest: yes, there are rpms included in the distro, hosted in the DVD's that are not installable from the groups available to the user at install time. They can certainly be installed from kickstart, but the general assumption is that people doing those sort of installs are likely not doing them from DVD media. Also, there seems to be interest in jidgo; has anyone worked with that in the past ? and whats to help us get that setup as well ? Regards [1]: maybe we should do a single large 6.6GB ISO as well, and have it available only on torrents, for people who might want or have access to that large format media, or people who just want a copy of the primary repo without using rsync. Thoughts ? -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

Introducing Centpkg (Comments requested)
by Brian Stinson 02 Jul '14

02 Jul '14

Greetings everyone, I spent a little bit of time to see if pyrpkg (https://fedorahosted.org/rpkg/) could help with the "building RPMS from a git repo" workflow. Pyrpkg includes methods that can interact with git (cloning, downloading sources etc), koji, and the local mock/rpmbuild build processes among other things. You may know pyrpkg better as the backend for fedpkg in Fedora. I have a very bare-bones configuration at https://bitbucket.org/bstinsonmhk/centpkg that I thought I would share. Is the community interested in such a tool? If so I'm happy to keep working on it, perhaps with the help of others who are interested? Cheers!

el7_0 as dist tag (release mismatch in koji)
by Bojtos Péter 02 Jul '14

02 Jul '14

Dear All, I'm trying to recompile RHEL packages to i686. Some RHEL source packages has the dist tag el7_0 in it. How do you handle it, when recompiling? Do you keep it by redefining the dist macro? The spec file contains %{dist}, which comes from the /etc/rpm/macros.dist. It contains el7 on RHEL installations. How should I avoid release mismatch in koji? Thank you, Peter Bojtos

once again: epel VS Centos
by Fred Smith 29 Jun '14

29 Jun '14

Before I take this to the EPEL folks, I'd appreciate a sanity check: I did a full reinstall of C7 on my C7 vm a couple days ago (to resolve the caatch-22 on updating the kernel), and subsequent to that I cannot install MATE from epel. "yum group install mate-desktop" gives me these errors (trimmed from all the non-error stuff): Error: Package: mate-control-center-1.8.1-1.el7.x86_64 (epel) Requires: libXss.so.1()(64bit) Error: Package: fortune-mod-1.99.1-17.el7.x86_64 (epel) Requires: librecode.so.0()(64bit) Error: Package: caja-image-converter-1.8.0-1.el7.x86_64 (epel) Requires: ImageMagick Error: Package: mate-screensaver-1.8.0-2.el7.x86_64 (epel) Requires: libXss.so.1()(64bit) Error: Package: atril-libs-1.8.0-2.el7.x86_64 (epel) Requires: libt1.so.5()(64bit) Error: Package: beesu-2.7-19.el7.x86_64 (epel) Requires: usermode-gtk Error: Package: atril-libs-1.8.0-2.el7.x86_64 (epel) Requires: libkpathsea.so.6()(64bit) Error: Package: caja-1.8.0-2.el7.x86_64 (epel) Requires: gamin this did not occur a week or so earlier when I installed Mate from epel on an earlier version of the c7 RC. I don't know where to find those packages, either. With only yum configs for C7 and epel, those packages don't seem to be available. Am I just being too impatient and should instead wait for the rest of the linux-sphere to catch up with C7? thanks! -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex(a)fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- "For the word of God is living and active.

Install and authentication
by Larry Brigman 27 Jun '14

27 Jun '14

I just finished my net install here of latest. I'm missing the options to select the type of authentication. It is either local or Enterprise. It finds the domain and I have a domain account but it is trying to create a domain account. Since I wasn't given the option to attach the machine to the domain, the login fails. I also don't get NIS/LDAP/etc... options to configure on the first boot.

Adding the EPEL release package to the extras repository
by Jim Perrin 27 Jun '14

27 Jun '14

In the discussions for putting CentOS 7 together, the board's agreed to make the epel-release package available in the centos-extras repository as part of the el7 build. What this means: The EPEL repository will NOT be enabled by default, but it will be available. Following an install, an admin would be able to 'yum install epel-release'. Following the success of that command, they could then use epel normally. In order to accomplish this without having yum complain, we will re-sign the epel-release package with the centos key. The EPEL gpg keys will remain intact in the file included, so yum will prompt and import normally on the first package installed via EPEL. Are there any objections to this before we execute? -- Jim Perrin The CentOS Project | http://www.centos.org twitter: @BitIntegrity | GPG Key: FA09AD77
