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

[Storage SIG] Adding new package glusterfs-coreutils to the CBS
by Niels de Vos 01 Oct '15

01 Oct '15

Hi Lala, Today I've prepared the glusterfs-coreutils package for the Storage SIG. Everything works fine, but there is one thing I am unable to get done. Maybe I am missing certain permissions? The new glusterfs-coreutils package would need to be added to the CBS. This fails for me: $ koji -p centos \ add-pkg --owner storage \ storage6-gluster-common-candidate glusterfs-coreutils SSLError: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:590) Doing scratch-builds works fine, so I doubt that the issue really is the SSL-certificate. Could you let me know if I am doing something wrong, or if it is expected that I can not add new packages? Thanks, Niels

Atomic SIG: Joint Test Day with Fedora Atomic Folks
by Dusty Mabe 10 Sep '15

10 Sep '15

Hi All, There has been some discussion of doing a joint test day with Fedora and CentOS atomic folks. Fedora is having a test day for Fedora Cloud base on 9/8 (all are welcome to join us). We were thinking about having the joint Fedora/CentOS test day on the following Tuesday (9/15). Is this something everyone is interested in? To do the test day it would be worth having a test day page like [1] and some test cases for people to execute. These test cases can probably overlap with the one's fedora has.

Fedora Collaboration
by Mike Ruckman 31 Aug '15

31 Aug '15

Greetings centos-devel! My name is Mike Ruckman and I'm working with the Fedora Cloud WG helping coordinate testing. There's been some discussions on IRC regarding Fedora and CentOS working together and I was asked to send a mail to the list with times and places for some of our meetings. Fedora QA --------- This is the group the Cloud WG has to work with to ensure that things are tested well enough - they do the final sign off after the WG has tested it's release items. They meet Mondays at 1500 UTC in #fedora-meeting on freenode. Fedora QA Devel --------------- This group is currently working on taskotron [0] and they maintain all of our QA applications. The Cloud WG will be working with them on getting some automated testing in place sometime in the future. They meet at 1400 UTC in #fedora-meeting-1 on freenode on Mondays. Fedora Cloud ------------ This one is pretty explanatory. We work on the cloud products for Fedora. The base image, docker image, atomic host and Vagrant boxes. We meet on Wednesdays at 1900 UTC in #fedora-meeting on freenode. There has also been talk of attempting to do a joint test day [1] for Atomic sometime in September. If there's enough interest, we can start planning and advertising for it now. Thanks! Let me know if you have any questions - or find me on irc. I'm roshi on freenode.

Embargoed content in CBS
by Johnny Hughes 28 Aug '15

28 Aug '15

We have a need to be able to generate embargoed content for SIGs. As an example, Xen publishes embargoed content where we need to apply patches, build an SRPM and then binary RPMs. We can not do this in an open build system as the content must be embargoed until after the release date. What I think we need is password protected input and builds in the CBS and password protected repos for the resultant RPMs. We could then control access to those specific locations via login. Does the current version of koji support that? If not, we could create an embargoed build area(s) in the current CentOS build system, where the output of the build system is not transferred to buildlogs.centos.org .. but I would also need to point to the proper repos in the CBS as well. Who, besides the Xen rpms in the virt SIG might need this embargoed build capability? Thanks, Johnny Hughes
