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

Curating containers
by Karanbir Singh 04 Apr '16

04 Apr '16

hi, Yesterday a few of us met for a face to face walk through of the CentOS Container Pipeline we've been talking about. The aim was to rescope the upstream projects we can lean on, share code with, and help - and then find the glue pieces that could bring this code base together. The larger picture effectively boils down to : - Find the components needed to track code git repos ( either in git.centos.org or elsewhere ) - Find the components needed to now build that code, containerise the code, push it through a test process, and then deliver the containers either locally into a centos transitional container registry, or to a CDN like wider centos registry or if the user so desires, to a third part registry ( provided a good process can be find to handle the credentials needed ). - We'd want to use this pipeline both internally, for the CentOS Linux components ( eg. a LAMP container from CentOS Linux 7 ), for SIG components via cbs output ( eg. SCLo SIG folks shipping containers for their content ), as well as open this up via a trivial UI, for anyone in the community who'd like to come and consume this pipeline. the key piece that we didnt have clarity on was the orchestration and glue that could bind the various software components. Vaclav Pavlin, brought up that we might be able to use openshift templates in order to get the job runs done - if the input for the templates could be derived from the cccp-index, either via the jjb work already done, or writing a new filter into JJB, we might be able to execute a fairly scaleable solution without needing to own any piece of the over all code. Additionally, there is a fair interest from the Fedora team ( ie Adam! ) working on the same problem in their space, mostly consuming the identical code stack, within and for their infra, their constraints and aims. Over the coming days we are going to try and work though PoC's, get some infra setup and trial running through some of the user stories we want to execute on. Finally, a quick shout out to everyone for coming together at pretty much the last minute adhoc meeting - Fabian Arrotin, Brian Stinson, Christoph Goern, Vaclav Pavlin, Aaron Weitekamp, Tomas Tomecek, Adam Miller, Dusty Mabe, Honza Horak, Radek Vokal as well as Tim Waugh, Bama Charan and Mohammed Zeeshan for dialing into the meeting. And to everyone else, want to build containers with us ? come talk to us - we'd love to make sure we include as many user stories to get great scope before we start implementing bits. regards -- Karanbir Singh, Project Lead, The CentOS Project +44-207-0999389 | http://www.centos.org/ | twitter.com/CentOS GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

[RFE] subscription-manager in CentOS6
by Baptiste Agasse 04 Apr '16

04 Apr '16

Hi, I tried to speak about this to Johnny at the end of the last CentOS Dojo in Brussels, but he have to go. There is any chance that you to include subscription-manager in CentOS 6 ? We use foreman/katello, all work out of the box for centos 7 but it's not easy to manage additional installation repos in foreman/katello to manage that in one generic kickstart template for our deployments (multiple DCs, with multiple repos mirrors per locations...). As i see in the git repo of CentOS 7 [1], there is only few changes, like debranding. I see that redhat provides SRPMS for subscription-manager as well for RHEL6 [2] and versions of subscription-manager are are not so far from each other: RHEL 7 / CentOS 7 : subscription-manager 1.15.9 RHEL 6 : subscription-manager 1.14.10 I didn't take a look deeper at this time, but if there is any chance that you decide to include subscription-manager in CentOS 6 base repo and installation tree like in CentOS 7, i can take a look deeper to see if patches that are made for C7 are compatible with RHEL 6 subscription manager, and if not, backport them to c6. Have a nice day. Regards. [1] https://git.centos.org/tree/rpms!subscription-manager.git/refs!heads!c7 [2] ftp://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/linux/enterprise/6Server/en/os/SRPMS/ -- Baptiste

Problem installing golang.x86_64 with virt7-docker-common-candidate.
by centos-devel 01 Apr '16

01 Apr '16

First off- Thanks to all for reading and especially to Jan for responding so helpfully. So I realised that I could maybe make some progress by telling yum to ignore go version 1.5 from virt7-testing and just install the older 1.4 branch from extras. [root@vm139 admin]# yum --disablerepo base --disablerepo virt7-testing --skip-broken install golang Of course that just worked. :-) Having reread Jans first email again, > > godep go run make_secret.go -crt /tmp/nginx.crt -key /tmp/nginx.key > > > /tmp/secret.json > > godep: No Godeps found (or in any parent directory) > > make: *** [secret] Error 1 > > It says you are running godep in a directory where there is no Godeps > file. Once the binary is compiled, you don't need golang compiler. and read a bit more about godeps, I thought I would try without it to see if I could get past that error. So I just edited the Makefile: https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/release-1.2/examples/https-ng… to remove the call to godeps from: godep go run make_secret.go -crt $(CERT) -key $(KEY) > $(SECRET) to: go run make_secret.go -crt $(CERT) -key $(KEY) > $(SECRET) But that just spews errors that go can't find the dependencies it needs. well, DUH! I suppose those are meant to be listed in the Godeps file that godeps is complaining that it cannot find. As I said - this is new to me as I have not (yet) programmed in go. What do other people think? Does anyone more knowlegable than me about Kubernetes or Go have any suggestions? Perhaps I should submit a bug to github-kubernetes and move on? Thanks again to all for reading and especially to Jan for responding so helpfully. Colin. p.s. What I learned: Using CBS virt7-testing to provide docker and kubernetes Package: golang-1.5.1-1.el7.x86_64 will not install because it Requires: golang-src = 1.5.1-1.el7

centos git web front-end
by Phil Wyett 31 Mar '16

31 Mar '16

Hi all, What if any plans are in the pipeline for improving the web front-end of git.centos.org? Current issues: * Slow. * No search as page claims: none of your repositories are configured for Lucene indexing * Clicking on the 'repositories' link, hangs firefox because of how many entries are being listed by default. Could this be a static page with alphanumeric index that a user can click on depending on first character of package they wish to find? Regards Phil
