Is anyone able to point me to a copy of shadow-utils-4.0.3-60.RHEL4.src.rpm
It should be part of RedHat EL4 update beta 3.
Thanks
John.

We have finished setting up, and now are putting into testing, a new
update system. Lance Davis did much hard work getting this ready, and
the rest of the team did a lot of work in testing it ... thanks to
everyone involved.
This system is unlike any other I have seen, in that it polls external
mirrors and only assigns mirrors that have been verified in the latest
pass. It also assigns mirrors using Geo-IP and the IP address of the
connecting client, so you should only get verified and geographically
close mirrors.
This also allows for 10 mirrors for each repo, which means that you
should have failover capability (something else the old rrdns system
lacked).
Also released is the fastestmirror yum plugin with proxy server
detection (thanks to Karanbir Singh for proxy server detection patch).
The fastestserver and protectbase yum plugins have been removed from the
yum-utils package so that either of them can be installed separately.
Rounding out the list is a new yum version that is an upgrade from the
upstream provider.
This should greatly increase the reliability of CentOS upgrades,
especially during point releases, where we had a major issue for days
last cycle.
Here are the new RPMs in testing:
centos-yumconf-4-4.4.noarch.rpm
yum-2.4.2-1.centos4.noarch.rpm
yum-plugin-fastestmirror-0.2.4-2.c4.noarch.rpm
yum-plugin-protectbase-1.1-1.c4.noarch.rpm
yum-updateonboot-0.5-1.c4.noarch.rpm
yum-utils-0.5-1.c4.noarch.rpm
You can install only the RPMS to test new system by using the command:
yum --enable c4-testing install centos-yumconf yum yum-plugin-fastestmirror
(fastest mirror is optional ... but will increase your performance)
If you don't have the testing repository installed, you can get
the .repo file from
http://dev.centos.org/centos/4/CentOS-Testing.repo
and put it in /etc/yum.repo.d/
There is a tracker setup here for reporting feedback. Please provide
both positive and negative install info, as we need positive reports to
move items from testing to stable:
http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1211
-------------------------
Notes:
1. Please read the README.centos concerning plugin setup if you install
any plugins (in /usr/share/doc/#NAME_OF_PLUGIN#, specifically you have
to add the following to /etc/yum.conf to make yum plugins work:
plugins=1
2. If you have modified your /etc/yum.repo.d/CentOS-Base.repo file, you
will get a new file called:
CentOS-Base.repo.rpmnew
In order to use the new system, you need to replace CentOS-Base.repo
with CentOS-Base.repo.rpmnew

Johnny Hughes

Greetings all,
A little upset because of some very rude people in IRC, on freenode.net.
That accused me of trolling and made it so I can't say anything in the
channel. More on that later.
Here is the deal, I am in the process of installing Gentoo on a AMD64
server. I messed up and bought the wrong SATAII Raid card, Adaptec
142SA. Which only has binary drivers for RH, SuSE, and UL. 32bit and
64bit modules.
Now having tried all kinds of kernels. I started looking for RH kernel
sources. Which is basically what CentOS provides. I started with the
kernel-2.6.9-22.EL.src.rpm
After messing with that for days, patches and all. I decided to give the
kernel-devel rpms a go. So I downloaded
kernel-devel-2.6.9-22.EL.i686.rpm
kernel-devel-2.6.9-22.EL.x86_64.rpm
Used rpm2targz, and converted them into tarballs which I unpacked. I
then moved the sources from usr/lib/kernel, entered the kernel source
dir, configured and compiled fine. With the i686 version.
When I attempt to do the same with the x86_64 one I get
wlt 2.6.9-22.EL # make bzImage ARCH=x86_64 V=1
if /usr/bin/env test ! /usr/src/2.6.9-22.EL -ef /usr/src/2.6.9-22.EL;
then \
/bin/sh /usr/src/2.6.9-22.EL/scripts/mkmakefile \
/usr/src/2.6.9-22.EL /usr/src/2.6.9-22.EL 2 6 \
> /usr/src/2.6.9-22.EL/Makefile; \
fi
CHK include/linux/version.h
CHK include/asm-x86_64/offset.h
make -f scripts/Makefile.build obj=scripts/basic
make -f scripts/Makefile.build obj=scripts
make -f scripts/Makefile.build obj=scripts/mod
make -f scripts/Makefile.build obj=init
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `init/main.o', needed by
`init/built-in.o'. Stop
Now I came across this posting
http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1110
And have heard from others that the preferred way to build RH kernels
now is to rebuild an rpm using the src rpm. Which I have never done, but
I have been making custom RH kernels since 6.2 or so. Always using the
kernel-devel package?
Now on IRC my main question was has anyone built a custom x86_64 kernel?
I believe the reason I was booted, because I asked the same person
(kbsingh) that question 3 times. Because they never answered, which
leads me to believe they have not. Instead they called me a troll and
made it so I can't say anything in the channel. Very rude and totally
unprofessional. I thought CentOS was a enterprise community distro.
Amazing to find that kind of attitude.
Furthermore they were questioning what I did with the kernel-devel to
build a custom kernel in the first place. Since they claimed it to be
only headers not a full source? So I provided links and etc.
http://dev.obsidian-studios.com/kernel-devel-2.6.9-22.EL.i686.rpmhttp://dev.obsidian-studios.com/kernel-devel-2.6.9-22.EL.i686.tar.gzhttp://dev.obsidian-studios.com/working-2.6.9-11.EL.tar.gzhttp://dev.obsidian-studios.com/2.6.9-11.EL.config.working
Now I have been downloading all rpms from
http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/centos/
I really need to build a 2.6.9.11.EL x86_64 kernel. I have a working
i686 one, links above. But the
kernel-devel-2.6.9-22.EL.x86_64.rpm
Seems to be missing stuff that is in the i686 one. Like if you do not
properly change dir name from 2.6.9-22.EL.x86_64 to 2.6.9-22.EL you
can't compile asm-offsets.
http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2005-April/004499.html
However that was not a problem with the i686 sources? The asm-offsets
file is provide in i686 kernel-dev rpm and src rpm. The missing x86_64
stuff is not in either kernel-dev or src rpms. Interesting enough, all
the missing stuff exists by default with Gentoo sources.
I am really trying to avoid rebuilding a rpm. That would require me to
install and setup a CentOS or RHEL box. Which seems a bit much just to
build a custom kernel. Considering the kernel will be used for another
distro.
Please anyone running CentOS with a custom x86_64 kernel, I would love
to hear the processes. Now reason I am posting to dev list and not
users, is it seems users are discouraged to build their own kernels as
opposed to developers. Who have to make the resulting rpms as it is.
Thoughts, comments, and things of a constructive nature are all greatly
appreciated. Hopefully I will not find the same attitude here as in the
irc channel.
That type of behavior would keep someone like my who does not run or use
CentOS, totally away from it. Gentoo people care less if I ask questions
about building a custom centos kernel for Gentoo. Not sure why CentOS
people would have a problem with my questions. Considering I am not
asking anything about Gentoo, or that aspect of it.
Just how to get a custom x86_64 kernel built using CentOS 2.6.9-22
sources.
Thanks a million.

trying to yum install compat-postgresql-libs from c4-testing results in several dependecy errors.
says it needs to install the following packages:
e2fsprogs i386 1.35-12.2.EL4 base 770 k
glibc i686 2.3.4-2.13 base 5.0 M
krb5-libs i386 1.3.4-17 base 478 k
openssl i686 0.9.7a-43.4 update 1.1 M
zlib i386 1.2.1.2-1.2 base 44 k
the x86_64 versions of all these are already installed. I do not have any i386 or i686 packages currently installed

Hi all,
Is there a possibility to get quota patches for reiserfs in the "unsupported" centos 3 (and maybe 4) kernel?
If I do the patching myself, what's the official procedure to get them included in your kernel?
