json interface

Not to mix up the prior thread "Looking for input from EPEL".

Would you elaborate some more on it please as you say it will be a build queue. Is it workable at present (beta)? Sounds interesting, John

Loading pre-built for Red Hat kernel modules
by Ross McKerchar 20 Aug '10

20 Aug '10

Hi Guys, I have a product which requires it's own kernel module. The vendor provides pre-built kernel modules that are compiled against the stock Red Hat kernels but the product does not successfully identify and load these binary modules on my Cent OS machines. I'm in a discussion with the vendor about fixing this so that the product successfully identifies the Red Hat modules as compatible. However we're not sure if these binary modules will indeed be 100% compatible with the corresponding Cent OS kernel for any given version. The concern was that tiny differences between the kernels, say, the name of the build host, could change the address of a data structure in the kernel which the pre-built module attempts to use. Does this sound like a valid concern? Where does the attempt to provide 100% binary compatibility end? The source for these kernel modules is actually available but I am trying to avoid having to build custom modules. Thanks for your help! -ross

EOL plans for C3
by Karanbir Singh 20 Aug '10

20 Aug '10

hi Guys, CentOS-3 goes EOL in about 3 months. I was thinking we should do a couple of things for this milestone : 1) Setup and run an education campaign to inform users about this. 2) Put together some documents that clearly lay down the options that users have at this point, and going forward ( Migration options, upgrade paths, virtualised containers etc ) 3) Put together some scripts that might help people with various options from point-2. Of-course, doing some of (2) and (3) before (1) would make (1) more effective. So, at this time - is there anyone who wants to step forward to take this task up as co-ordinator and lead ? - KB

If we decide to do this, I guess we should start identifying those packages that replace base, or require packages that replace base. -- -- dag wieers, dag(a)wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]

wine 1.2 packages
by Janez Kosmrlj 12 Aug '10

12 Aug '10

Hi there, I made wine 1.2 packages for centos. I would like to share them but i don't have a public repository. Is there a place, where i could upload this packages. Maybe someone else would need them too. The packages are built to my needs, so they don't have winetricks or desktop integration, but they work. Regards Janez

I cannot connect to www.centos.org and related sites. It was noticed that access to the forums has been very slow today. Now the site is totally inaccessible. Akemi

Sun May 02 2010 Jiri Pirko <jpirko(a)redhat.com> [2.6.18-194.3.1.el5] Well that one you have. Why do you have it? Because I guess an @CentOS.org Hat decided to build that one while all the other ones were plain out skipped in-between? My ohh my the Heart and Soul was forgotten. All of 4 - FOUR of them. Effectively your stuck with the one you got that works or you have to learn to build your own from the red hat sources. > If I just build kernels from the Linux archives, would those just work > as-is under CentOS? I haven't actually done that in a while, but if > it's moderately safe using the "standard" spec files.... Maybe so be carefull. So insightfully what I do for my precious customers on CentOS is I actually build the updates from the RH Sources to keep them happy because some do like to plunder about when are updates coming out. Maybe the cache directory eatted them up? John
