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

beta nag
by Karanbir Singh 02 Jul '14

Hi Guys, Betanag is now gone from all new builds ( including the one pushed earlier today ) Also, live media has been renamed : the livecd remains livecd, but livecd-GNOME is now live-GNOME and livecd-KDE is now live-KDE; finally the datestamps from the filenames are gone, so notice the builddate/timestamp of the files to workout what you are running and testing. finally, we are getting close to release points - so people do the test you've got planned -- 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!

C7 - yum groupinstall broken?
by Neil Thompson 02 Jul '14

02 Jul '14

Hi all, Using build x86_64-20140630 (and previous [Grrr, I've just noticed x86_64-20140702, I'll try that once I've got it down]), I can do a "yum -v grouplist" and get what looks like the correct output, but when I try installing one of the groups, the following happens - %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% [root@maintsas ~]# yum groupinstall scientific Loaded plugins: fastestmirror There is no installed groups file. Maybe run: yum groups mark convert (see man yum) base | 3.6 kB 00:00:00 epel | 3.7 kB 00:00:00 Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile Warning: Group scientific does not have any packages to install. Maybe run: yum groups mark install (see man yum) No packages in any requested group available to install or update %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% I'm fairly sure this shouldn't be happening :) -- 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
