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

Centos 8.1 - missing src.rpms (again)
by Antal Nemeš 31 May '20

31 May '20

Hi all, After the last updates to centos 8.1 packages, it seems the src.rpms have not been pushed to vault. For example, kernel-4.18.0-147.8.1.el8_1.src.rpm is nowhere to be found, even in 8.1.1911 I am also using this opportunity to again request that vault symlink for centos/8 be updated to point to latest (8.1.1911) state. Currently it is still pointing to 8.0.1905. Thanks and best regards, Antal

SCL maintenance
by BC 05 May '20

05 May '20

I was trying to find a good alternative to rh-git29 on el6 and had some problems sorting it out. 1) https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/SCLo/CollectionsList is out of date compared to either https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/rhscl-rhel6 or https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/rhscl-rhel7. 2) https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/SCLo/CollectionsList is out of date compared to what yum shows. 3) https://www.softwarecollections.org lists both sclo-git{25,212} as TBD even though they are both in the repos. Is there a published lifecycle for non-rhscl packages like sclo-git212? Thanks a bunch!

registry.centos.org/centos:latest still points to CentOS-7
by Derek Carter 01 May '20

01 May '20

Shouldn't `registry.centos.org/centos:latest` point to CentOS 8? That's what https://hub.docker.com/_/centos leads me to believe. Where is the CentOS registry managed? -- Derek aka goozbach
