licq: contributed RPM submission
by Durval Menezes 23 May '06

23 May '06

Hello, Here's my submission for a new package: licq, IMHO the best IM program available for Linux, much better than gaim. The URL to the SRPM is: http://www.durval.com.br/RPMS/el4/licq/licq-1.3.2-4dm1.el4.src.rpm I've attached the .spec file. PS: I've tested only the main package (licq-1.3.2-4dm1.el4.i386.rpm); I've not tested the KDE (licq-kde-1.3.2-4dm1.el4.i386.rpm) nor the OSD (licq-osd-1.3.2-4dm1.el4.i386.rpm) packages, as I have no use for either. Best Regards, -- Durval Menezes (durval AT tmp DOT com DOT br, http://www.tmp.com.br/)

hi & submission of updated initscripts rpm
by Jethro Carr 30 Apr '06

30 Apr '06

hi all, this is the first time I've contributed to a distro that is not my own, so if I'm doing something the "wrong way", please do inform me. :-) Briefly about me - I'm interested in becoming involved in helping to develop CentOS (such as removing RH trademarks from new packages, and adding extra packages.) I have experience with developing distros, from when I developed my own distro called "Jedo Linux". http://www.jethrocarr.com/index.php?page=projects/jedolinux/jedolinux.php In regards to the other subject of this email, I've made a modified version of the initscript package. This adds support for using dm-crypt encrypted filesystems on boot. It allows encrypted swap, and encrypted storage directories. However, it's not really designed for having an encrypted root filesystem (although it could possibly be adapted without too much hassle). I have a source RPM available here: http://www.jethrocarr.com/packages/SRPMS/initscripts-7.93.24.EL-1.1.1.cento… Basicly, I've added written a patch for initscripts, and made a couple of minor changes to the spec file. I wasn't sure what to name it, so I added a .1 and my name to the release name. Feel free to change this to suit if you do decide to add it to one of the repos. :-) Usage details and configuration for the encrypted filesystems are in /etc/sysconfig/enc-fstab. thanks, -- Jethro Carr www.jethrocarr.com www.jethrocarr.com/index.php?page=cv/cv.php

Missing binary packages for CentOS 4.3 openCryptoki and iprutils?
by Matthew Miller 19 Apr '06

19 Apr '06

This is a resend of a message from last month which got no response.... iprutils and openCryptoki have source rpms in the CentOS 4.3 / RHEL4u3 update, but there don't appear to be any corresponding binaries. These appear to be new packages in the update (not there before u3, unless I'm confused). Any idea what's going on here? Thanks! -- Matthew Miller mattdm(a)mattdm.org <http://mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/>

CentOS mkinitrd support for dmraid
by Hovhannes Tumanyan 18 Apr '06

18 Apr '06

Hello, Here is a patch to mkinitrd that enables dmraid initialization during init. I developed it to enable proper initialization of LVM partitions hosted on dmraid based software RAID. dmraid initrd initialization can be optionally turned off by passing --omit-dmraid command line key to mkinitrd. My changes are tested on CentOS 4.1 2.6.9-11.EL kernel. Hopefully this may be useful to people with similar software/hardware configurations. Can someone suggest/clarify if there is anything else I could/should do to make this patch helpful to as many people as possible and ideally make it part of CentOS distribution? Thank you very much, Hovhannes Tumanyan > echo " [--omit-dmraid]" >&2 259a261,263 > --omit-dmraid) > nodmraid=yes > ;; 629a634,637 > if [ -z "$nodmraid" -a "$kernelmajor" == "2.6" ]; then > inst /sbin/dmraid.static "$MNTIMAGE/bin/dmraid" > fi > 710a719,723 > if [ -z "$nodmraid" ]; then > echo "echo Activating software raid (dmraid)" >> $RCFILE > echo "dmraid -ay" >> $RCFILE > fi > 58a59 > echo " [--omit-dmraid]" >&2 259a261,263 > --omit-dmraid) > nodmraid=yes > ;; 629a634,637 > if [ -z "$nodmraid" -a "$kernelmajor" == "2.6" ]; then > inst /sbin/dmraid.static "$MNTIMAGE/bin/dmraid" > fi > 710a719,723 > if [ -z "$nodmraid" ]; then > echo "echo Activating software raid (dmraid)" >> $RCFILE > echo "dmraid -ay" >> $RCFILE > fi >

freenx-0.5.0-8.c4.noarch.rpm is in testing
by Johnny Hughes 14 Apr '06

14 Apr '06

We have created a new version of freenx (freenx-0.5.0-8.c4.noarch.rpm) and moved it to the testing repo. This is based on the code displayed at the LWE in San Francisco ... http://lwn.net/Articles/146825/ http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8489 (though it is not officially released as stable by the freenx people) This version should handle printing and reconnecting to running sessions much better. Running sessions (on the nx server, that is the machine you are connecting to) are stored in "/var/lib/nxserver/db/running" ... if you have been disconnected in the past, there may be several old sessions out there that need to be cleaned up ... go remove the sessions that are invalid (all of them in that directory if you do not have any open sessions to that server). There is no real auto cleanup of these if your session breaks ... I will try to develop something that works later. In the meantime, if you session list is to big and some are dead, you will have to delete them manually. This version also allows rootless mode, which is faster compression. So far, this is a major improvement to my user experience for NX. ------------------ Copy the testing CentOS-Testing.repo file from here: http://dev.centos.org/centos/4/ to /etc/yum.repos.d/ , then use this command to install freenx: yum --enablerepo=c4-testing install freenx nx Report issues with this to the freeenx tracker here: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1307 ------------------- A guide for setting up the NoMachine client (to connect to the freenx server, if you installed it) is here: http://fedoranews.org/contributors/rick_stout/freenx/ (you only need to do the client items, as the server is taken care of with the above yum install). Thanks, Johnny Hughes
