so before I go reinvent the wheel...
does anyone want to recommend a process / toolset that can check for
fixed-version deps in a repository and rebuild the failing deps against a new
version of the deprecated package ?
eg. when a new kernel is built, I want to get a list of all the packages in the
repo that depended on the older version of the kernel, and who no longer work
with the newer one. If there are hooks in this tool to allow me to plumb in a
auto-rebuild-into-a-testing-repo process, that would be star!
The most obvious way seems to be checking the entire repo for closure and
whatever fails, take some action - but that is not a really good way to check
which side is failing. And it also means the new rpms need to be already in a
binary format before I can run the test, so thats not going to work.
What I was thinking of doing was to import the repo metadata, remove details for
the package being superseded, get a before and after picture, then queue in the
now-failing packages behind the new package being built.
Things get even more interesting when there are a bunch of packages being built.
But we can think about that later :)

I mean scripts from http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4.5/build/distro/ (build.sh) but for
CentOS5.
Or there user can find documentation of full building discs process (createrepo, pkgorder, buildinstall etc)?
They don't appear to be on any of the mirrors..
Unless I'm missing something.
Thanks,

Hi,
I've been having problems installing CentOS 5 on the DL320 G2 server
which uses one of those fake raid chips. I'm fairly sure it's a an LSI
logic chip supporting 133 ATA x 2, with raid 0, 1 and 1+0 support and
uses the megaide driver. Here are the specs for the system (though they
don't specify the chip in question) -
http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/11512_div/11512_div.html
When booting with old firmware/bios i get to the point anaconda does
the drive detection and it cannot find any drives. I thought, ok old
firmware i'll try updating to the firmware shipped on the 2007 release
of HP firmware 7.70 CDROM (FW770.2007_0131.52.iso). Now i boot C5 up
from CD and all i see is -
loading vmlinuz....
loading initrd.img....
Ready!..
You cannot disabled the LSI controller in the BIOS, it appears to be the
only ide controller available. I have tried a few kernel parameters such
as enabling disabling apic etc but nothing got me past this point.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Nick

What hardware does CentOS like to use for its booth?
http://wiki.centos.org/Events/LinuxTag2007 says
# Who brings a demo-system ?
# Anything else to demo ?
# Demo-system (maybe big screen or projector) (Anyone?)
If you could detail this a bit more, I can ask around for some bits
and bolts (I'm living in Berlin). I can't make any promisses, though.

I was doing some archivere reading on this subject and I saw someone had
suggested that the proper COA would be a wiki page about how to get PHP
5 working with mssql on centos, but I could not find that page in the
wiki. Is there any plans to to do this?

CentOS developers,
Could someone take a look at this? It was posted on the CentOS Forum
by bdaniels. Apparently this security update came out on May 1, but
not all versions have been made available for CentOS.

Well, the announce list has been posting them:
[CentOS-announce] CESA-2007:0257 Low CentOS 4 s390(x) openssh - security update
05/04/2007 06:44 PM
CentOS Errata and Security Advisory 2007:0257
https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2007-0257.html
But only for the s390 and ia64 architectures. The i386/ia32 ones are missing.
Folks,
For what's worth, IMO there is at least one thing we at Centos-devel
could learn from EPEL: they have very clear rules about how to get
contributed packages into their repo:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ#head-24b4e4b98953a6d3de80019e85e8311…
I for one have some packages (http://www.durval.com.br/RPMS/el4/)
I've been trying to contribute to CentOS for many months now, without
success: I've posted messages trying to submit the packages, talked to
some developers, even started a page on the CentOS Wiki about it, but
in the end it came to naught (I privately received information from
one developer explaining why there are no clear rules, but I was asked
to keep it confidential and so I can't post it here).
This is very frustrating, and I think it keeps many people from
contributing to CentOS.
Best Regards,
