HTTP installation method and RELEASE-NOTES file
by Ray Van Dolson 29 Nov '07

29 Nov '07

Hi all; ran this question by the anaconda list, and perhaps this is a CentOS specific issue. In any case, maybe someone here can clarify... I notice if I boot CentOS 5 with the askmethod param and choose HTTP and point to my CentOS directory which is just a copy of all the files from the CD's, it errors out, and I am forced to revert to the CD method. The error I see on the console and in my webserver logs indicate that anaconda is trying to look for the following files: RELEASE-NOTES-en_US.UTF-8.html RELEASE-NOTES-en_US.UTF-8 RELEASE-NOTES-en_US.html RELEASE-NOTES-en_US Where the only files on the CD's are RELEASE-NOTES-en.html and RELEASE-NOTES-en. The anaconda folks seem to think that CentOS should be using the full en_US variant: https://www.redhat.com/archives/anaconda-devel-list/2007-November/msg00130.… I don't see a mantis bug on this issue -- has anyone else run into it? Am I just doing something dumb here? Ray

content / role overlap for the -docs and potential translators lists
by Karanbir Singh 26 Nov '07

26 Nov '07

hi guys, Just wondering what people think about creating another list for centos-translators and regularly requesting membership there from other sources ( like posting something on the wiki / website / other lists etc ) ? The one issue that I can see is that there will be loads of overlap in interest with the centos-docs list that already has most of the people doing the translation work, and if people want to help with the wiki translation as well - perhaps the -docs list is the best place for the translators a well ? Just thinking out loud at the moment, opinions welcome! -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219@icq

Release Notes translations
by Ralph Angenendt 25 Nov '07

25 Nov '07

Morning guys, CentOS 5.1 is nearing its release. And we're going to have Release Notes for it. This time the release notes will live on wiki.centos.org, not on the ISOs itself. See <http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS5.1> If anybody of you has some time over the weekend and is interested to translate these notes into a language which is *not* - German - Dutch - Romanian (though we maybe could need one more translator there) - Czech (same as for Romanian) - French - Brazilian Portuguese - Spanish - Japanese (same as for Romanian) then please say "here" today. (Somehow I completely forgot about languages other than those above - anyone willing to sell me a spare brain?). The translations should be done on monday, but as those are living documents, complete translation can take longer. So is anybody interested? If you are: Open an account for yourself on http://wiki.centos.org/ (FirstnameLastname, e.g. JoeyMiller) and send me the account name, as translation will happen on the wiki. I'll put you into the correct group then. So do I hear some "Here!"s? If yes - thank you in advance. Cheers, Ralph

IcedTea
by Daniel de Kok 24 Nov '07

24 Nov '07

Hi all, IcedTea for CentOS 5/i386 is now available through the CentOS-testing repository. IcedTea provides a development platform/runtime environment based on OpenJDK[1]. It is basically OpenJDK, with the binary plugs replaced by stubs or GNU Classpath code. These packages were built upon the excellent work of the IcedTea and Fedora projects. To use IcedTea with some Java programs that are included in CentOS like Ant, you also need a new jpackage-utils package that is also available through the testing repository. Information on using the CentOS Testing repository can be found on the CentOS Wiki at: http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories Take care, Daniel PS. IcedTea for CentOS 5/x86_64 will soon be available. PPS. IcedTea may or may not work out of the box with Java applications included in CentOS 5. E.g. CentOS 5 Eclipse doesn't work here, but Eclipse from eclipse.org runs fine (after setting the compiler level to 1.5.0).

centosplus Support at ATrpms!
by Axel Thimm 21 Nov '07

21 Nov '07

Hi, I started supporting centosplus kernels directly at ATrpms, e.g. all kmdls for C4 and C5 plus (latest) kernels are being built. I would call this service experimental still, as I had some feedback by some users, but not nearly enough to make any more serious announcement. Also I'm missing the src.rpm for the centosplus kernel from 2.6.18-8.1.15. The binary packages are there, just not the src.rpm. Maybe that's not that usrgent, as there will probably be a -55 centosplus kernel soon, I guess. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net

problem about customizing CentOS
by Hao Xu 20 Nov '07

20 Nov '07

Hi! I was trying to build a customized CentOS 5 with all the update rpms integrated, on a CentOS 5 box. I have installed anaconda, anaconda-runtime, bogl, booty, netpbm, netpbm-progs and mkisofs in the building box. The CentOS 5 installation of the building box is fully updated. The following is what I did: 1) Create repo data # createrepo -g comps.xml -c /tmp /centos/5-respin/os/i386/CentOS Repo data was generated all right. 2) buildinstall # /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/buildinstall --pkgorder os/i386/pkgorder.txt \ --version 5 --product CentOS --release CentOS-5-respin \ --prodpath CentOS /centos/5-respin/os/i386 >/tmp/buildinstall.err 2>&1 Here's the output of buildinstall: Running buildinstall... /centos/5-respin/os/i386/buildinstall.tree.4822 /centos/5-respin /centos/5-respin Building images...
