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

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

ansible in CentOS Extras
by Karanbir Singh 16 Oct '17

16 Oct '17

hi, https://git.centos.org/log/rpms!ansible.git/c7-extras is now in CentOS-Extras/ - this is going to impact every SIG that uses ansible in and from cbs.centos.org, or needs specific versions pin'd for their roles ( paas / cloud sig etc ) is there anything the SIG's need to validate before this content hits mirror.centos.org in a few days time ? -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

Ceph/Luminous availble in CBS for testing
by Giulio Fidente 09 Oct '17

09 Oct '17

Hi, we now have in CBS ceph luminous tagged for testing [2] and in centos extras a package to install the .repo file [1] Presently it should be possible to install ceph luminous by doing the following: * install centos-release-ceph-luminous from [1] * enable the -test repo in /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Ceph-Luminous.repo * yum install ceph-{mon,...} Basic sanity check suggests all the necessary dependencies are there, ansible has been removed from the ceph repos because it is now shipped via centos extras. Ken, do you think we can tag these builds for -release? If so we can start consuming it in RDO/TripleO 1. http://cbs.centos.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=19974 2. http://cbs.centos.org/koji/packages?tagID=1158 -- Giulio Fidente GPG KEY: 08D733BA

AltArch content for SIGs
by Karanbir Singh 29 Sep '17

29 Sep '17

hi on Wed next week ( 04th Oct ) I will be turning on the altarch push for SIG's. This would be content that lands in the same place as the supporting distro ( so under /altarch and not /centos on the mirrors ). Please sync with Brian, Fabian or Thomas to make sure your release tag's are in place, and they know about them so they can add it to the content control files. note that you will also need new -release files that can be dropped into the Extras/ for the supporting distro tree's regards -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc
