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

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

SRPMS for AltArch (more specifically aarch64 kernel)
by Dominique Martinet 22 Aug '18

22 Aug '18

Hi folks, I've asked on IRC and have been pointed to this list. I can't seem to find this particular source rpm: kernel-aarch64-4.5.0-29.el7.src.rpm which is what is pointed by `rpm -qi kernel` on my system. Are these supposed to be available anywhere? Looking on google I only see one for an older release in someone's centos user/people page, but I can't seem to find these in any repo. The debuginfo are properly here but it's good to have sources as well when messing around with low level stuff :) Cheers and thanks for the hard work, -- Dominique Martinet

CERN pre-dojo meeting topic : build bots accounts for CBS
by Fabian Arrotin 14 Nov '17

14 Nov '17

Here are some notes taken from the CERN pre-dojo meeting from last week : <paste> Allow SIGs to have separate accounts for build bots - separate user accounts from "bot" accounts for security reasons - [proposal] have an email alias (not list) per sig for the bots, like sig-<bla>@centos.org pointing to the SIG's chair - [proposal] SIG chair must request or approve email alias requests/ ACO account creation sent to CentOS Board chairman </paste> So, (as also discussed yesterday in the CBS meeting - https://www.centos.org/minutes/2017/October/centos-devel.2017-10-23-14.01.l…) The proposal would be to create a @centosproject.org (or @centos.org) email alias, that would go to SIG chair, and that would be used to create an account on https://accounts.centos.org While we can manually generate x509 cert with longer validity period, we discussed the fact that using centos-cert just takes 2 seconds every 6 months, so SIG members who were present didn't find it a real issue. (email notifications go to SIG chair - and/or other members ? - in advance so easy to follow) That's probably the workflow people use already anyway, while Brian confirmed that longer-term a proper credentials store would be on the roadmap, but soon. -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | http://www.centos.org gpg key: 56BEC54E | twitter: @arrfab

When can I expect a test build of origin 3.7.0 rpm package? Over the weekend I grabbed the tarball 3.7.0-rc.0 and used it to update one of my systems. In 3.6, it was having problems using Vsphere as a cloud provider. 3.7 fix the issues I was having.
