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

Re: [CentOS-devel] [CentOS-docs] Authorization to use CentOS logo in GNOME Boxes

For special sub-projects)? Essentially similar, in that specific permission was granted and a specific logo was prepared. In this case, the permission has been requested and there is not a corresponding logo prepared on the ArtWork page. > BTW, that is the logo only; There are two aspects here: 1. Should the project allow for the graphical logo to be used without the wordmark? 2. If yes to 1, the project should adjust one or both guidelines to make it explicit what can and cannot be done. For #1 it may be that we want to do so for various cases, but there may be reasons and risks we are not aware of in using the logo stand-alone in various situations. For this I am seeking expert advice. As it happens, the trademark guidelines do allow for some uses of just the logo, point 5 here: https://www.centos.org/legal/trademarks/#acceptable-uses But there is not a corresponding graphic and how-to on the ArtWork page. What I want to do is i) as quickly as we can resolve the question of permission for GNOME so they can move on with their development, and ii) fix any actual or perceived inconsistencies between the trademark guidelines and the logo usage guidelines.

CentOS Community Container Pipeline: re-architecture migration window
by Bamacharan Kundu 03 Oct '18

03 Oct '18

Hi, Since last few months, we were working on re-architecturing the CentOS Community Container Pipeline Service to make https://registry.centos.org as a stable and reliable source for CentOS based container images. We are now done with the changes for better throughput and stability. We are working on deploying the new service in production in coming weekend (between 28th Sep 2018- 1st Oct 2018). During this time service will be in maintenance mode. We will not be building new images for registry.centos.org. Existing images will not be updated based on RPM, or git source updates. However, during this migration registry.centos.org will be available to pull images from. We are trying to make sure the down time for CentOS Community Container pipeline service is minimal. Service: https://registry.centos.org Maintenance window: Service will not have downtime Impact: Users will be able to pull images from https://registry.centos.org Service: CentOS Container Community Pipeline Service Maintenance window: 28th Sep 2018 to 1st Oct 2018 (We are working on to make it minimal) Impact: PRs to https://github.com/centos/container-index will not be merged and no image updates are pushed to registry.centos.org. Sorry for the inconvenience, we will keep posted. Regards Bama Charan Kundu

Problems with qemu-img when generating Vagrant images
by Laurentiu Pancescu 02 Oct '18

02 Oct '18

Hello everyone, we switched from using qemu-img from CentOS 7.x to qemu-img-ev from the Virt SIG several months ago, to allow us to generate Hyper-V images. My attempts to build Vagrant images are failing the automated tests since the beginning of July, apparently due to corrupt filesystems. I see XFS metadata corruption in the CentOS 7 images when using qemu-img-ev, as well as ext4 superblock corruption in the CentOS 6 images.[1] The distro installer runs just once and the resulting disk image is converted by Image Factory to different formats, depending on the virtualization target. Since the VirtualBox images are working as expected, while the libvirt images don't even boot due to filesystem corruption, I would assume that the installation produces a valid image, but the conversion of the disk images for libvirt-kvm fall prey to bugs in qemu-img-ev and the stock qemu-img. If anyone has the possibility to test with VmWare or Hyper-V, please write me off-list. I noticed that qemu-img-ev is at version 2.1.2, while Debian Stable has version 2.8 and Fedora 28 has version 2.11. Maybe such bugs, if real, were already fixed upstream - would it be possible to use a newer version than what qemu-img-ev provides? We reverted to using the EL7 qemu-img, but this still produces broken libvirt images and wețd have to drop the Hyper-V images as well. Any help or suggestions are appreciated. Best regards, Laurențiu [1] https://people.centos.org/bstinson/vagrant/c6-vagrant.png

[ppc64le] Request for publishing sensu in ppc64le opstools
by Michael Turek 25 Sep '18

25 Sep '18

Hello, Trevor Vardeman <Vorrtex>, Adam Kimball <baha>, and myself <mjturek> have been looking into TripleO container builds for ppc64le. This led to finding some missing dependencies. The current one we're struggling with is sensu. It seems like all of the dependencies for running sensu are published in ppc64le-opstools [0]. Additionally, the sensu package itself is noarch. Is there anything we could do to get this package published? Thanks! Mike Turek <mjturek> [0] http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/opstools/ppc64le/sensu/
