Current gdm update without initscripts update on CentOS 5
by Simon Matter 06 Sep '13

06 Sep '13

Hi, The current gdm update https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2013-1213.html comes with an updated initscripts package. Currently a CentOS 5 gets the gdm update but not the initscripts package. Isn't it dangerous for those running with X because gdm doesn't create /tmp/.X11-unix anymore and the new initscripts, which creates it now, is not already available? Regards, Simon

Kernel bug fix that restores SSD performance -- testing sought
by Akemi Yagi 03 Sep '13

03 Sep '13

According to this bug report: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=6548 (originally from http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=642729 ) a patch introduced in kernel 2.6.32 causes a performance drop in [certain] SSDs. This patch was later reverted in the mainline kernel. With this kernel, the reporter says, the SSD performance is now what is expected from the spec. I have built a centosplus kernel that has the referenced patch reverted. My limited test (using hdparm) did show some improvement with this kernel. kernel-ml from ELRepo (currently at 3.10.0-1.el6) gave a number similar to this plus kernel. http://people.centos.org/toracat/kernel/6/plus/bug6548/ Please test if you can and report back with your findings (good, bad, no diff ...). Note that the packages are not signed and are provided for testing purposes only. Thanks in advance for your input. Akemi / toracat

Sync-Up-summary august 14th 2013
by Christoph Galuschka 16 Aug '13

16 Aug '13

Hi, the major topics have been: - forummigration: so far on test instances looking good, import work mostly completed, some DB and VM tuning still to do. A dedicated eMail will be setup to get in contact with in case of outdated email-accounts. Current ETA for the new forum in september. - blog: will be depending in the site move - t_functional: some more tests and fixes made their way into git over the last few weeks. Most instability issues with the tests are from various network related issues. freeipa tests will only use on VM, so no further outside dependency. I hope I didn't miss anything important. cheers Christoph

Notes from the first Sync up 2013-July-24
by Karanbir Singh 26 Jul '13

26 Jul '13

Hi, ci.dev.centos.org: - run through pending merges ( tigalch / athmane ) - do the reimzul integration ( kb ) - nightly tests, esure they are robust enough to rely on --- tests already running nightly --- monitor for another 2 weeks, then look at flaky / shallow tests --- promote publicly, make noise around it - ensure tests are running with latest kernel, reboot needed, this is already being done ( tigalch ) - ensure backups in place for everything ( kb / athmane ) - get a private git repo for puppet / opennebula content ( kb ) Website: - migrate the site to a more reliable host, with more resources while we wait for the new design work to complete ( kb ) - setup a blog / story interface - test-migrate the forums to phpbb ( TrevorH1 / KB ) --- ensure a bunch of people have access to play with the entire forums content, migrated - not just 1 forum as we had done in the past --- write a url redictor from old-url to new-url ( kb ) VIP Program - use name 'Friends' represented as 'Friends of CentOS' - centos.org/Friends and centos.org/Friends/<person> urls for aggregated and person specific content - domain to be used for email / contact TBD ( but not .centos.org ) - Bootstrap resources on Google's compute engine ( pending physical hardware allocation from .centos.org pool ) ( Phibs / Tigalch ) Dojos: - keep them coming --- Bucharest + Madrid + Edinburgh confirmed --- Houston most likely ( but not confirmed ) The next CentOS Syncup is scheduled for 31st July 16:00 UTC in #centos-devel, if there is anything you want to bring up : either as something you want to do, or something you think needs to be done ( even if you are unable to actually do it ) then please come along and raise the issue. If you are unable to make it, please email either me or Christoph in advance along with notes, and we will make sure the issue is raised and discussed during the session.

weekly syncup
by Karanbir Singh 18 Jul '13

18 Jul '13

hi, In conversation with Christoph earlier today, the idea came up that we should have a weekly public syncup in #centos-devel and try to round up all ( or as many ) lose ends as possible. Given that we now have a large enough contributor base, it might be good to have a project wide ( even if in sections ) backlog, that others can jump in with as well. This would be stuff like forum-migration updates, artwork updates and various things around the project. A summary of this would then be a nice-to-post into a centos.org/whatsup blog. With that in mind, I'm going to propose Wednesday's at 16:00 UTC in #centos-devel @ irc.freenode.net : Timebox'ed to 60 min, and only open to agenda items submitted atleast 2 hrs in advance. I will take on the task of running these meetings, till such time as someome else comes along and fights me for it.

kernel upgrade for AVX support
by San B 06 Jul '13

06 Jul '13

Hi, I've a CentOS-5.8 Linux installed on a server which has the Intel Xeon Sandy bridge 8 core, dual socket processor. As Sandybridge has AVX feature and can do 8 flops. But we're not able to take performance boost of AVX , as this feature not supported on CentOS-5.8. Is it possible to get AVX working, by just installing the CentOS-6.0 or 6.2 kernel on existing CentOS-5.8 OS, instead of doing re-installation with CentOS-6.2? We're even ready for compiling kernel source. Let us know what you suggest on this. Thanks in advance

Missing bind-dyndb-ldap update
by James Hogarth 02 Jul '13

02 Jul '13

Hi guys, Been troubleshooting an issue with IPA here and the freeipa guys pointed out a fix in bind-dyndb-ldap-2.3-2.el6_4.1 back in April. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2013-0739.html https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=928429 Checking the repos it looks like the updated package is missing since only bind-dyndb-ldap-2.3-2.el6 is present in /os/ with no package in /updates/ Could someone please take a look and see why the package hasn't been rebuilt? Cheers, James

After reading docs about RHEV, I have discarded (rebuilding RHEV and RHEM is too much). But not RedHat Storage Server. Reading about it, I see it is based in RHEL EUS 6.2.z and not RHEL 6.4 as I had been assumed. I have located the updates that RedHat has released for RHEL 6.2.z since Centos ceased to publish patches for 6.2 release. My question: If I not wrong, mock uses jails or chroot environments to rebuild packages. Can I use a CentOS 6.4 x86_64 host to rebuild all patches released by RedHat for RHEL 6.2.z and Storage Server 2.0 without problems?? Does someone has tested? P.D: Sorry for the cross posting to centos-devel, but maybe it is an interesting question to publish in centos-devel list.

tcl8.6 build fails
by Jens Neu 28 Jun '13

28 Jun '13

Dear list, I'm trying to build tcl8.6.0 which some developers want/need. Took the spec file from srpm, and updated to 8.6 as such: http://paste.debian.net/12932/ What I did: - updated version to 8.6.0 - disabled sdt - disabled patches for 5.8.x - changed configure options (s/disable-threads/enable-threads/) and gave it a try. it builds fine, works as far as %install, does the "for i in *.h" (line 104) and gives me a RPM build errors: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.Fxgmu1 (%install) now, what puzzles me: 1) the exit status does not give me a line or something what failed 2) the rpm-tmp.Fxgmu1 looks good from inspection 3) sh -x /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.Fxgmu1 runs happily and performs as expected. 4) rpmbuild -vv does not give any more clues as without. ideas anyone how to debug further? best regards Jens www.biotronik.com BIOTRONIK - Celebrating 50 years of excellence Founded in 1963 with the development of the first German pacemaker, BIOTRONIK has brought innovations and the highest quality standards to the cardiac rhythm management and vascular intervention fields in more than 100 countries around the world.
