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

Ceph Jewel packaging in CentOS Storage SIG
by Emilien Macchi 16 Aug '16

16 Aug '16

Hi, I'm working on openstack/puppet-ceph module to deploy Ceph Jewel for OpenStack TripleO and Red Hat Director (OpenStack installers). I'm very interested to know when I'll be able to download Jewel packages from SIG on x84_64: buildlogs.centos.org/centos/7/storage/x86_64/ceph-jewel/ currently does not contain Ceph packages. Using ceph.com repositories for us is not optimal as we try to use a maximum of CentOS supported repositories, like we do for OpenStack. Thanks, -- Emilien Macchi

role based builder capability
by Karanbir Singh 28 Jul '16

28 Jul '16

hi, we've spoken about this in the past a few times, and I've gone ahead to setup the rdobuilder account for building against koji. what this means is that its now possible to have a role based koji account, with some level of limited credentials, that allows a robot like process to build, tag, request-test from koji content. Ofcouse, we need to ensure this bot is unable to tag to release any content, or to promote internally. Anyone else needing this functionality, you will need to get in touch and come through to the CBS meeting to talk through the requirements and justifications. Haikel: this should unblock your work here. Brian: Can we get this included in the SIGGuide content as well, thanks, -- 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

How to test CentOS Origin images
by Troy Dawson 28 Jul '16

28 Jul '16

Hi, This email is to get a discussion started. I don't have the answers, so feel free to add to the discussion. The PaaS SIG (through the hard work of Mohammed Ahmed, mzee1000) is now producing OpenShift Origin images. They are currently for origin 1.2. We need some tests so that we can say "These are good images" and then release them. What are some tests that we can run on the images to verify they are good? Troy

Testing Vagrant images on ci.centos.org?
by Laurentiu Pancescu 26 Jul '16

26 Jul '16

Currently, the development of the Vagrant images relies on manual testing (I create scratch builds containing my changes and test them locally - due to hardware limitations, this means only testing with VirtualBox on an OS X host). Is it technically possible to automatically test the Vagrant images on ci.centos.org, using e.g. KVM via vagrant-libvirt? Perhaps we could add some sort of trigger on cbs.centos.org to trigger the tests, once a scratch build is successful? Regards, Laurențiu

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/network-functions max limit is 255
by Donatas Abraitis 22 Jul '16

22 Jul '16

Hi folks, what do you think of introducing new variable which could define max value for index iterating over PREFIX/NETMASK pair? Problem: Now it's hardcoded value of 255 in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/network-functions: expand_config () { local i=0 val for idx in '' {0..255} ; do ipaddr[$i]=$(eval echo '$'IPADDR$idx) if [ -z "${ipaddr[$i]}" ]; then [ "$idx" ] && [ $idx -ge 2 ] && break continue fi prefix[$i]=$(eval echo '$'PREFIX$idx) netmask[$i]=$(eval echo '$'NETMASK$idx) broadcast[$i]=$(eval echo '$'BROADCAST$idx) arpcheck[$i]=$(eval echo '$'ARPCHECK$idx) We are running plenty of addresses (over 500) under loopback interface and announcing them as /32 for upstream hosts. With IPv6 everything is OK, because it has already native secondary option. I suggest to add additional variable like MAXALIAS to define this '255' inside ifcfg-lo. Any thoughts? Thank you! -- Donatas
