Idea for single CD install
by Shriramana Sharma 16 Sep '06

16 Sep '06

I tried the 4.4 LiveCD and find it has a very good selection from both GNOME and KDE. I request that a single installer CD (as opposed to the full 4 CD set or 1 DVD) be provided for installing the same contents to the hard disk, just like a regular install. Maybe you can do the installer on the same live CD, like the Kubuntu Desktop CD. Single CD installs will go a long way to popularize CentOS, IMHO. P.S: Seeing as this Live CD is based on the linux-live scripts, and SLAX which uses the same linux-live scripts can be just copied to HDD and run from there, is it also possible to do the same with CentOS? P.P.S: I will be travelling a week starting today so I may not reply quickly. -- Shriramana Sharma Linux user #395953 using Kubuntu 6.06.1

by Tru Huynh 15 Sep '06

Hello, I have rebuild a firefox 1.5 for CentOS-3 if you are interested to try. I think we should remove the obsolete 1.0.x versions from centosplus. background: - centosplus firefox for CentOS-3 was you backported version from CentOS-4 which was itself from FC5 with svg enable. - since 4.4 RH provides firefox 1.5 without svg inside base, I have re-added svg. Changes for CentOS-3 version: - removed pango (CentOS-3's is too old) - removed langpack (smaller footprint) - added svg a dev version (resigned with the dev keys) is on dev.centos.org: http://dev.centos.org/centos/3/testing/SRPMS/firefox-1.5.0.5-0.el4.1.centos… http://dev.centos.org/centos/3/testing/i386/RPMS/firefox-1.5.0.5-0.el4.1.ce… http://dev.centos.org/centos/3/testing/x86_64/RPMS/firefox-1.5.0.5-0.el4.1.… %changelog: * Tue Sep 05 2006 Tru Huynh <tru(a)centos.org> - 1.5.0.5-0.el4.1.centos3 - from 1.5.0.5-0.el4.1.centos4 - Modified for CentOS-3 -- post/postun update-desktop-database -- desktop-file-utils dependency -- removed the langpack -- removed pango -- re-added svg * Sat Jul 29 2006 Johnny Hughes <johnny(a)centos.org> - 1.5.0.5-0.el4.1.centos4 - Changed the CentOS sources from FC5 to EL4 version as upstream released now for EL4 - Added CACert as a default CA (add_CAcert.org_cert.patch) - replaced firefox-redhat-default-bookmarks.html with firefox-centos-default-bookmarks.html - replaced firefox-redhat-default-prefs.js with firefox-centos-default-prefs.js * Thu Jul 27 2006 Christopher Aillon <caillon(a)redhat.com> - 1.5.0.5-0.el4.1 ...

Re: CentOS-4.4 yumconf
by Roland Alder 12 Sep '06

12 Sep '06

Some days ago, there was the discussion about the new centos-release package with merged in yum (and other) configuration files instead of separate yumconf as until 4.3. I today tried using %trigger sections in the own package. After some testing I can say it looks good and seem to work fine (at least here). The trigger basically just moves the repo files known to be installed by centos-yumconf (and only those, so it has still to be adapted if CentOS e.g. adds more .repo files) to a different filename not used by yum. On removal of the own yumconf package, that backed up files are moved back to it's original name. The whole thing even seem to work over updates/removals/installs of both. Maybe that's also useful for others having that problem, but of course needs some adaption.

Broken gtk+ package
by Chuck Berg 11 Sep '06

11 Sep '06

I was just going to enter this in the bugs database, but creation of new accounts is apparently broken. (When I try to set the initial password after following the link in the confirmation email, "This account is protected. You are not allowed to access this until the account protection is lifted.") I have an x86_64 system, on which I must install the gtk+.i386 package. To begin with, only the x86_64 package is installed: # cat /etc/rpm/macros.query_format %_query_all_fmt %%{name}-%%{version}-%%{release}.%%{arch} # rpm -q gtk+ gtk+-1.2.10-33.centos4.x86_64 When I try to install the i386 version, I get this error: With yum: # yum -y install gtk+.i386 [...] Transaction Check Error: package gtk+-1.2.10-33.centos4 (which is newer than gtk+-1.2.10-33) is already installed With straight rpm -i: # rpm -i http://mirror.stanford.edu/yum/pub/centos/4.4/os/x86_64/CentOS/RPMS/gtk+-1.… package gtk+-1.2.10-33.centos4 (which is newer than gtk+-1.2.10-33) is already installed This problem only exists with the CentOS gtk+.x86_64 package, the RedHat one is fine. rpm -i --force works, and that is the workaround I'm using.

It's simpler than you think :-) Please read http://www.durval.com.br/CentOS_RPM_Contrib_HowTo.html Also, for the package to be accepted you would have to make a commitment to maintain the spec files. I'm talking with Karanbir (one of the lead CentOS developers) to define exactly what that is (what frequency, for how long in the future, etc), and when I have it, I will post it to this list and also on the URL above.

Hello, I'm trying to compile and create CentOS rpm for KompoZer www.kompozer.net. It is a unofficial bug fix for nvu. Is there a rules to have this package contributed to CentOS? Any tutorials or similar? Should package be build on specific machine? Signet by specific key? Etc...? ----------------------------------------------------------------- vbox7.com - Забавни видео клипове!
