Centos6.4 ISO: extract, modify files and rebuild
by Raghuv Adhepalli 28 Jul '14

28 Jul '14

Hi, When I was looking inside the centos6.4 iso, I found a file kickstart.py that interests me and would like to hack around a bit. So far I have been able to mount the centos iso and the image file "install.img" (present inside the iso) as loop devices. I was able to copy all contents of install.img to another directory(as the loop device is a read-only filesystem) and make changes to the kickstart.py file Now I am not sure how to rebuild the img file and then the iso. Is there any documentation in the community for this very purpose of extracting, making changes and rebuilding the centos iso? Thanks, Raghuv Adhepalli.

CentOS 7 cloud image with cloud-init
by Tim Bell 28 Jul '14

28 Jul '14

Looking at http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/7/isos/x86_64/CentOS-7.0-1406-x86_64-E…, is there a cloud image later than June 2014 ? With the release in July, it would be great to test out a cloud-init enabled image on CentOS 7. Thanks Tim

CentOS Atomic Host SIG Proposal
by Joe Brockmeier 28 Jul '14

28 Jul '14

Hi all, Please see the proposal below and let me know if you have any suggestions, are interested in being involved, or any other comments, thoughts, or flames. ================================================================ Atomic Host SIG The CentOS Atomic Host SIG will work on a CentOS-based Atomic Host image that provides a minimal image using rpm-ostree, as well as tools and documentation for users to create their own CentOS/Atomic images with custom package sets. ## Goals * Ship a minimal CentOS Atomic Host that focuses on running Docker containers in production. * Provide ISO images installable with Anacona, and images suited for OpenStack, CloudStack, Amazon Web Services/Eucalyptus, and Google Compute Engine. * Provide tools and documentation that can be used to spin custom images from CentOS packages to be deployed with Atomic (rpm-ostree) tools. * Provide regular releases as underlying tools (e.g. rpm-ostree) advance, while maintaining stability for in-place upgrades. * Establish a time-based release cadence. * All code included in the Atomic image will be under an OSI-approved license. * Unless differentation is absolutely necessary, all packages common to CentOS core and CentOS Atomic will be identical. ## Mailing List and Communication Work for the CentOS Atomic image relevant to CentOS build systems, etc. will take place on centos-devel. Work related to upstream Atomic will take place on the Atomic mailing lists. Note that the Atomic community comprises efforts underway with CentOS, Fedora, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux, as well as upstreams like Docker and OpenShift (GearD) so discussions may span several communities and mailing lists. ## SIG Membership The Atomic Host SIG will have a steering committee and committers. The steering committee will consist initially of Joe Brockmeier, Jason Brooks, Jim Perrin, Brian Proffitt, Greg DeKoenigsberg, and _________ (?). New committers and steering committee members are appointed by the steering committee. Committer privileges, once earned, do not expire unless revoked by the steering committee. The steering committee will appoint a chair to interface with the CentOS Board. ## Meetings The CentOS Atomic SIG will initially meet weekly until all pieces are in place for regular releases, then as needed. ## Roadmap and (Action) TODO List * Define package set * Establish builds for target environments (cloud deployments and bare metal) * Define orchestration tool(s) for CentOS Atomic * Establish test / QA processes * Set long-term release cadence, upgrade policies ## Further Info * Project Atomic (http://projectatomic.io) * Fedora Atomic Initiative (http://rpm-ostree.cloud.fedoraproject.org/#/) ================================================================ Best, jzb -- Joe Brockmeier | Principal Cloud & Storage Analyst jzb(a)redhat.com | http://community.redhat.com/ Twitter: @jzb | http://dissociatedpress.net/

Given you're @redhat and the recent closer relationship between CentOS and Red Hat, you're a community role model whether you want to be or not. :) People don't always have to "do the right thing^TM", but they should at least know when they are in a state of sin. Will do. And I'll look into implementing some of these measures in the mean time.

32 bit Centos 7
by Bruce Ferry 25 Jul '14

25 Jul '14

I disagree. I suspect many who would like to run it on 32bit aren't on this list and, like me, are running CentOS on older hardware that cannot support the 64 bit version. I would really like to be able to just upgrade in place my 6.5 server to 7.x some day but if I can't then it will just stay a 6.x server until I can scrape up some 64 bit hardware.

[Patch] Preupgrade assistant: platform
by Manuel Mausz 24 Jul '14

24 Jul '14

Hi, attached are two patches to make the preupgrade assistant recognize centos and actually do something. Without these patches no tests will run as the platform won't match (aka "notapplicable"). I haven't done much testing as I'm on vacation until next week. Also there are plenty of places that mention RHEL (grep says 155x "Red Hat Enterprise Linux", 336x "RHEL"). e.g: "After upgrading to RHEL 7 ....", "w3m not available in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7", etc.. Should we replace all of them? cheers, manuel

Dracut hooks question (growroot)
by Nux! 24 Jul '14

24 Jul '14

Hi, Been trying like mad to find a way to resize the partition of a EL7 VM template from the initramfs (basically run fdisk on /dev/vda) as I did for EL6, but with the new systemd+dracut it seems like either I find the disks in a nonexistent state or they are already in use. I think I went through all relevant hooks; pre-mount is a lie, at that stage the disk is seemingly already in use. :) Does anyone have a tip how to go about this?
