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

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

IBM ppc64{le} builders offline for CBS/koji
by Fabian Arrotin 29 Jan '18

29 Jan '18

Hi, Our monitoring platform informed us that the ppc64{le} builders used in our Koji environment are actually unreachable (same for the underlying IBM P8 hypervisor node) After investigation it seems that it's hardware issue I'll work with the DC people next monday to see how we can try to fix the issue and I'll also investigate some options to have at least one builder per arch asap (so ppc64 and ppc64le) That means that people building for multiple arches will be impacted as long as those builders will not be back online (or some equivalent node that can take those $arch jobs) I'll keep the list informed about a status update as soon as possible. -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 56BEC54E | twitter: @arrfab

EPEL and pyOpenSSL
by Tony Breeds 22 Dec '17

22 Dec '17

Hi all, I admit that I'm not sure if this is an EPEL, CentOS or RDO problem. I had to pick a place to start and this is it ;P I've done afresh CentOS 7 install on both x86_64 and ppc64le. After adding the EPEL and epel-testing repos I do yum, install -y rdopkg and I get words to the effect of: <snip> Error: Package: python2-rdopkg-0.45.0-4.el7.noarch (epel) Requires: pyOpenSSL >= 16.2.0 Installing: pyOpenSSL-0.13.1-3.el7.ppc64le (base) pyOpenSSL = 0.13.1-3.el7 <snip> I can pretty easily get past this with: yum localinstall http://cbs.centos.org/kojifiles/packages/pyOpenSSL/16.2.0/3.el7/noarch/pyth… but I suspect that it means I'm missing smething simple. Is the another repo I need to enable when using EPEL? Yours Tony.

[opstools] How to support fluentd with ruby24?
by Rich Megginson 21 Dec '17

21 Dec '17

We need to use the ruby24 SCL. That means ovirt and rdo will have a dependency on ruby24 SCL, which also means the fluentd systemd service will need to know how to run the service using the scl, unless ovirt and rdo are ready to run fluentd containerized, in which case it is as simple as using the centos ruby24 scl base image, which is what openshift is doing: https://github.com/openshift/origin-aggregated-logging/blob/master/fluentd/… ruby24 will be needed at build time for some packages as well as at runtime. https://www.centos.org/minutes/2017/December/centos-devel.2017-12-13-18.04.…

Virt repos for altarch architectures
by Tony Breeds 20 Dec '17

20 Dec '17

Hi All, Firstly I admit I could easily have missed something. I'm looking for the altarch (in my case ppc64le) repos that matches http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/virt/x86_64/kvm-common/ I kinda assumed it'd be at http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/ I haven't checked all the packages but the few I did check in CBS have been build for altarch Any pointers accepted Yours Tony.

libssh missing from extras/ppc64 repository
by Mihai Moldovan 19 Dec '17

19 Dec '17

Hi I've noticed that libssh inexplicably vanished from the ppc64le C7 extras repository, c.f., http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7.4.1708/extras/ppc64/Packages/ . The weird part is that this package is still available for ppc64le on http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7.4.1708/extras/ppc64le/Packages/ The first time I noticed this was on Dec 10, though it might have been deleted earlier. Is there any reason why this happened? I assume that libssh was updated and a rebuild for all arches attempted, but the ppc64 builder might have either had general problems or the build failed in some other way. Would fit in (kinda) with the outage notice from Dec 2nd. I've tried tracking where "extras" builds are taking place. CBS seems to be a reasonable place for that, but the information for libssh seems to be outdated as per https://cbs.centos.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=51 This page only lists rev 2, while the x86_64 and ppc64le repos both feature a package with rev 3, though. Given that the ppc64le packages don't have a .centos suffix, am I right to assume that such packages are built internally by Red Hat and that this infrastructure is not transparent to users? In any case, I'd appreciate a rebuild on ppc64. Mihai

Centos 7 vagrant image unnecessary packages
by aleksander.baranowski 16 Dec '17

16 Dec '17

Hi, As mention in thread "Broken man pages in vagrant box 1710.01". There are packages that removal might be consider. First one is centos-logos. centos-logos are required by plymouth, that add animation during boot. In my opinion it's not necessary for Vagrant image. Second one is kernel-firmware. This package don't have any further dependencies in libvirt image. As said libvirt image is working (in my case ofc, note that I don't have fully functional test suit for Vagrant images) without it. Fedora cloud image from https://app.vagrantup.com/fedora/boxes/27-cloud-base also lives without this package (at least libvirt box). I want to notice that I'm unable to provide any additional information on different vagrant providers, so any critics are kindly welcome. Bests, Alex -- GPG INFO: 6D5A4CAF 2016-05-17

Broken man pages in vagrant box 1710.01
by Carlos Rodrigues 11 Dec '17

11 Dec '17

Hi, In the latest vagrant box (1710.01), no man page can be found by default, altough both "man-db" and "man-pages" are installed and "rpm -V" shows nothing wrong with them. Doing a "yum reinstall man-pages" fixes the problem, but I don't understand why, since this "rpm -q --scripts" returns nothing for it. Best regards, Carlos Rodrigues

sclo images on registry.centos.org namespace deprecated in favour of centos

Hi, The Software Collections images on registry.centos.org were originally available under the namespace 'sclo'. For example : sclo/postgresql-96-centos7 is deprecated in favour of centos/postgresql-95-centos7 Please make sure you update any usages of said images to reflect the new name, as the old image names will be dropped from registry.centos.org soon. I will send out another email, a couple of days before the said images are dropped -- Thanks *Mohammed Zeeshan Ahmed* Associate Software Engineer, Redhat Developers Team (Devtools) http://mohammedzee1000.wordpress.com https://mojo.redhat.com/people/moahmed RED HAT | DIFFERENT FOR THE SAKE OF BETTER TECHNOLOGY Find out why every airline, telecom, commercial bank, healthcare, and financial data services company in the Fortune 500 relies on Red Hat.

New Version of CentOS Atomic Host Available for Download
by Jason Brooks 05 Dec '17

05 Dec '17

Last week, the CentOS Atomic SIG released an updated version (https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Atomic/Download) of CentOS Atomic Host (7.1711), a lean operating system designed to run Linux containers, built from standard CentOS 7 RPMs, and tracking the component versions included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host. This release rolls up a handful of minor CentOS updates from the past month. The core Atomic component versions are unchanged from those in the previous release (7.1710). CentOS Atomic Host includes these core component versions: * atomic-1.19.1-5.git48c224b.el7.centos.x86_64 * cloud-init-0.7.9-9.el7.centos.2.x86_64 * docker-1.12.6-61.git85d7426.el7.centos.x86_64 * etcd-3.2.7-1.el7.x86_64 * flannel-0.7.1-2.el7.x86_64 * kernel-3.10.0-693.5.2.el7.x86_64 * kubernetes-node-1.5.2-0.7.git269f928.el7.x86_64 * ostree-2017.11-1.el7.x86_64 * rpm-ostree-client-2017.9-1.atomic.el7.x86_64 # Download CentOS Atomic Host CentOS Atomic Host is available as a VirtualBox or libvirt-formatted Vagrant box, or as an installable ISO, qcow2 or Amazon Machine image. For links to media, see the CentOS wiki (https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Atomic/Download) # Upgrading If you're running a previous version of CentOS Atomic Host, you can upgrade to the current image by running the following command: # atomic host upgrade # Release Cycle The CentOS Atomic Host image follows the upstream Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host cadence. After sources are released, they're rebuilt and included in new images. After the images are tested by the SIG and deemed ready, we announce them. # Getting Involved CentOS Atomic Host is produced by the CentOS Atomic SIG (http://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Atomic) based on upstream work from Project Atomic (http://www.projectatomic.io/) If you'd like to work on testing images, help with packaging, documentation -- join us! The SIG meets every two weeks as part of the Project Atomic community meeting at 16:00 UTC on Monday in the #atomic channel. You'll often find us in #atomic and/or #centos-devel if you have questions. You can also join the atomic-devel (https://lists.projectatomic.io/mailman/listinfo/atomic-devel) mailing list if you'd like to discuss the direction of Project Atomic, its components, or have other questions. # Getting Help If you run into any problems with the images or components, feel free to ask on the centos-devel (http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-devel) mailing list.

04 Dec '17

Join us next Thursday and Friday as we test Queens Milestone 2 - the next version of OpenStack. http://rdoproject.org/testday/queens/milestone2/ This time, we're doing something a little different. For those of you who don't have the time, patience, or hardware to spin up your own OpenStack cloud, we'll have one ready for you. You can just log in, try it out, try your work loads, try to break things. We're hoping, with this change, to open test day to a wider audience of users and operators. If you're interested in participating in this test, and seeing what's coming in February, read this blog post [1] and sign up here [2] for your login credentials. Please also consider amplifying this invitation by following @RDOCommunity on Twitter, and retweeting the invitations to test day, as well as by sending this message to other relevant mailing lists. Thanks!

where should we build nsible-2.4.1 in CBS?
by Ken Dreyer 01 Dec '17

01 Dec '17

Hi folks, The latest ceph-ansible version requires ansible-2.4.1.0 now, due to some regressions in ansible-2.4.0.0. It looks like the "ansible" package in CBS has been built in several different build targets recently. Is there a standard place where we can build the "ansible" package going forward, and then cross-tag that build into all the places that need it? - Ken
