FYI: centos reproduceability
by Farkas Levente 01 May '09

01 May '09

hi, as it was told that centos can be reproduced and all rpm build in mock i just made a quick test and try to rebuild all centos-5.3 srpms. the result not too bad but far from perfect. the setup was a fresh i386 centos-5.3 minimal install + yum update + install mock-0.6.13-1.el5_2.3 (the result was almost the same even worse with 2 srpms with mock-0.9.14-1.el5). from 1186 srpms - 1145 build ~96.5% - 41 failed ~ 3.5% for me it seems to me the failed rpms have the same version as in 5.2 and they was simple copied to 5.3 and was not rebuild for/with 5.3. the failures have different reasons, just to mention a few: - aspell-xx use different filename encoding and with the default en_US.UTF-8 setting it can't find it's files (so those two patches are strange for me in src.rpm) may be upstream bug. - axis buildreq install java-1.6.0 (which is in 5.3 but was not in 5.2) in stead of using gcc's java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-devel. it can be rpm or yum bug, but can't be rebuild in mock but can be build by hand. - mysql test suit is failed with: Errors are (from /builddir/build/BUILD/mysql-5.0.45/mysql-test/var/log/mysqltest-time) : mysqltest: Could not open connection 'default': 2026 SSL connection error the packages which failed to build: aspell-es-0.50-13.2.2.src.rpm aspell-no-0.50.1-9.2.2.src.rpm aspell-pt-0.50-10.2.2.src.rpm axis-1.2.1-2jpp.6.src.rpm castor-0.9.5-1jpp.7.src.rpm cmirror-kmod-0.1.21-10.el5.src.rpm cyrus-imapd-2.3.7-2.el5.src.rpm dbus-python-0.70-7.el5.src.rpm geronimo-specs-1.0-0.M2.2jpp.12.el5.centos.src.rpm gfs-kmod-0.1.31-3.el5.src.rpm gjdoc-0.7.7-12.el5.src.rpm gnbd-kmod-0.1.5-2.el5.centos.src.rpm gnome-media-2.16.1-3.el5.src.rpm gnome-pilot-2.0.13-16.src.rpm gpm-1.20.1-74.1.src.rpm ifd-egate-0.05-15.src.rpm junit-3.8.2-3jpp.1.src.rpm kdebase-3.5.4-19.el5.centos.1.src.rpm kdebindings-3.5.4-6.el5.src.rpm libgssapi-0.10-2.src.rpm libwvstreams-4.2.2-2.1.src.rpm lsof-4.78-3.src.rpm mikmod-3.1.6-38.1.src.rpm mvapich-1.1.0-0.2931.3.el5.src.rpm mysql-5.0.45-7.el5.src.rpm nautilus-open-terminal-0.6-6.el5.src.rpm net-snmp-5.3.2.2-5.el5.src.rpm nfs-utils-lib-1.0.8-7.2.z2.src.rpm notification-daemon-0.3.5-9.el5.src.rpm openhpi-2.10.2-1.el5.src.rpm perl-XML-Simple-2.14-4.fc6.src.rpm php-pear-1.4.9-4.el5.1.src.rpm postgresql-jdbc-8.1.407-1jpp.4.src.rpm python-docs-2.4.3-1.1.src.rpm sblim-1-31.el5_2.1.src.rpm stardict-2.4.5-5.src.rpm struts-1.2.9-4jpp.5.src.rpm tetex-3.0-33.2.el5_1.2.src.rpm totem-2.16.7-4.el5.src.rpm velocity-1.4-6jpp.1.src.rpm xdoclet-1.2.3-7jpp.2.src.rpm -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"

pilot-link-devel-0.11.8-16.i386.rpm is missing from 5.2
by Farkas Levente 29 Apr '09

29 Apr '09

hi, it seems pilot-link-devel-0.11.8-16.i386.rpm is missing from 5.2/os/i386 while it's in 5.2/os/x86_64 (and there is not a x86_64 rpm in 5.2/os/x86_64). imho it's bug. -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"

Windows Server 2008 guest on KVM
by Julian Price 22 Apr '09

22 Apr '09

Windows Server 2008 does not run on the KVM version (36) in the CentOS repository. W2008 is the current version of Windows Server and not a Beta any more, so increasing numbers of people will be attempting to install CentOS+KVM+W2008, and running into difficulties. KVM version 72 is required for W2008 according to this: http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Guest_Support_Status What needs to happen to get KVM-72 or later into a repository? There is a very good KVM HowTo... http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/KVM ...but it does not explain how to install a version that will run W2008. I have documented a solution in this forum post... http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=19034&forum=38 ...but it relies on unofficial RPMs from www.lfarkas.org. Is it OK to put that advice in a HowTo? It took me days of research, recompiling kernels and packages etc to get CentOS+KVM+W2008 working. I'm not complaining, it was fun, but I'm concerned that other people are just giving up and switching to Xen or Debian e.g. http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?p=5606587#post5606587 ...and it would not take much to keep them on-board. Thanks, Julian Price

Few missing sources still
by Shad L. Lords 22 Apr '09

22 Apr '09

It appears that most of the sources have appeared. There are however a few sources still missing. These are the ones I've been able to determine so far: from os: cmirror-1.1.36-1.el5.src.rpm ofed-docs-1.3.2-0.20080728.0355.1.el5.src.rpm openib-1.3.2-0.20080728.0355.3.el5.src.rpm sgpio-1.2.0_10-2.el5.src.rpm tmpwatch-2.9.7-1.1.el5.2.src.rpm wdaemon-0.14-2.src.rpm from updates: avahi-0.6.16-1.el5_2.1.src.rpm firefox-3.0.6-1.el5.centos.src.rpm nss-3.12.2.0-4.el5.centos.src.rpm squirrelmail-1.4.8-5.el5.centos.3.src.rpm xulrunner-1.9.0.6-1.el5.src.rpm from extras: perl-5.8.8-18.el5_3.1.src.rpm perl-5.8.8-18.el5.src.rpm yum-cron-0.6-1.el5.centos.src.rpm from centosplus: libgdiplus-1.2.5-1.el5.centos.src.rpm I've looked around and they aren't on any mirror that I can find. -Shad

there's something happened between kernel 2.6.28-128.1.1 and 2.6.18-128.1.6 compilation
by Farkas Levente 21 Apr '09

21 Apr '09

hi, it seems there should happened something with centos build system between kernel 2.6.28-128.1.1 and 2.6.18-128.1.6 compilation. because although the two spec files only differs with a few dozen of patches the resulted src.rpm are different ie: ----------------------------------------- # rpm -qp --requires kernel-2.6.18-128.1.1.el5.src.rpm | grep unifdef unifdef # rpm -qp --requires kernel-2.6.18-128.1.6.el5.src.rpm | grep unifdef # ----------------------------------------- and this small differences means the latest kernel can't be compiled in mock. what's more the same is not true for rhel's kernel ie. in case of rhel's 2.6.18-128.1.6 it gives unifdef. so it's a centos bug and with this bug centos don't follow upstream behavior. just my 2c. -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"

yum-cron
by Farkas Levente 17 Apr '09

17 Apr '09

hi, in 5.2 there is a yum-cron in the os dir, but there is a yum-cron only in extras/x86_64 too (not in i386). at the same time in 5.3 there is no yum-cron in the os dir, but there is yum-cron only in extras/x86_64 too (not in i386). at the same time there is a yum-cron in epel-5 too. so imho it'd be useful to clean up this situation. -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"

debuginfo packages on the mirrors
by Fabian Arrotin 16 Apr '09

16 Apr '09

Just to inform that some *debuginfo* packages have landed on some mirrors. For example the latest kernel 2.6.18-128.1.6.el5 (and all his variants) has the corresponding debuginfo package. I just saw that when i updated my local tree at home and was wondering why it was so slow just to fetch the latest kernel rpms .. of course with ~150mb of debuginfo per kernel variant , that makes the difference .. :D example : http://mirrors.ircam.fr/pub/CentOS/5.3/updates/i386/RPMS/ -- -- Fabian Arrotin idea=`grep -i clue /dev/brain` test -z "$idea" && echo "sorry, init 6 in progress" || sh ./answer.sh
