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?

[Feedback request] CentOS website theme readability
by Alain Reguera Delgado 17 Aug '24

17 Aug '24

Hi, The website theme is being updated to improve content responsiveness and readability, on both large and small screen devices. Your feedback would be very helpful to detect usability issues and consolidate a design that works well for you. Here is an example page you can use for testing: https://www.dev.centos.org/about/governance/sigs/#functional-sig-responsibi… Is the content of this page readable for you? If possible, provide feedback from both large and small screen devices. Thanks! -- Alain Reguera Delgado <alain.reguera(a)gmail.com>

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

Need to ship cups-browsed
by Orion Poplawski 21 Feb '24

21 Feb '24

Looks like cups-filters grew a new cups-browsed sub-package in CS9. However, it doesn't appear to be shipped: # sudo dnf install cups-browsed Last metadata expiration check: 1:09:03 ago on Tue 20 Feb 2024 08:36:53 AM MST. No match for argument: cups-browsed Error: Unable to find a match: cups-browsed Where does this need to get reported? -- Orion Poplawski he/him/his - surely the least important thing about me IT Systems Manager 720-772-5637 NWRA, Boulder/CoRA Office FAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane orion(a)nwra.com Boulder, CO 80301 https://www.nwra.com/

mariadb:10.11 module enabled by default in latest C9S compose
by Alfredo Moralejo Alonso 20 Feb '24

20 Feb '24

Hi, After the last C9S compose I'm getting the module mariadb:10.11 enabled by default, which is breaking OpenStack deployment which was based on 10.5. # dnf module list Last metadata expiration check: 0:05:11 ago on Wed Feb 14 17:15:59 2024. CentOS Stream 9 - AppStream Name Stream Profiles Summary mariadb 10.11 [d] client, galera, server [d] MariaDB Module # dnf list mariadb Last metadata expiration check: 0:05:34 ago on Wed Feb 14 17:15:59 2024. Available Packages mariadb.x86_64 3:10.11.6-1.module_el9+853+7b957b9b appstream Is this a bug? I guess this goes against stability rules in RHEL? Best regards, Alfredo

The c10s dist tag confusion: .el10+3 > .el10
by Miro Hrončok 14 Feb '24

14 Feb '24

Hello. What is the planned c10s dist tag scheme? I've noticed many builds use .el10+3 nowadays. Do we plan to ever lower that down to .el10? And if so, how do we deal with the fact that .el10+3 > .el10? -- Miro Hrončok -- Phone: +420777974800 IRC: mhroncok

Secure Boot status for CS9
by Orion Poplawski 05 Feb '24

05 Feb '24

Secure Boot appears to be broken for CS9 on modern hardware: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/CS-1782 Does anyone have any insight into when this might get fixed? Wondering if it is time to revert to AlmaLinux 9.
