drpms directories taking a lot of space
by Florian La Roche 08 Jan '14

08 Jan '14

Hello, some weeks ago I looked briefly at the drpms subdirectories for Centos-6.4-x86_64. All updtes took about 4GB whereas the drpms subdir had already 27GB. Listing the drpms directory by size showed e.g. libreoffice updates taking e.g. 35MB whereas the full update rpm is 37MB. Is it possible to move the drpms directories to special mirrors only. Similar to the debuginfo/source/oldreleases? Maybe also some tuning is possible to generate drpms only if they really give a huge download saving. Sorry, I don't have detailed numbers anymore, I've just disabled to mirror the drpms subdir for now. (All numbers above are from memory, my local mirror doesn't have drpms anymore.) Keeping the official CentOS mirror rather small should be a real plus for the large volume of mirror sites and the real good distribution of CentOS. Thanks a lot for CentOS, Florian La Roche

This bug I mentioned is already files against el7b1, targeted release rc. I will disable the test for el7 with this number in the comments then. Regards, Rene

Arpwatch broken in el7
by René Diepstraten 04 Jan '14

04 Jan '14

Hi. I've been busy for some time with t_functional test p_arpwatch. While I have made some progress, the test keeps failing. As it turns out, arpwatch is broken in fedora 18, 19 and 20 and as such, also in el7. A bug report (upstream) exists: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1044062 Should we, for the time being, disable the p_arpwatch test for el7? Regards, Rene Diepstraten

a public build tool for seven
by Karanbir Singh 03 Jan '14

03 Jan '14

hi, I've started the builds for centos7beta, so far its ging good ( in that 3 packages of 3 attempted have built, so its going to be a while before we have a true picture on the state of srpms ). What I'd like to also do is get a public instance of the buildsystem online that allows everyone else the ability to submit their own packages for builds against the existing rhel7b1 code and parse / process the output ( purely for testing ). Think of it as a getting-ready-for-seven sort of an effort. One challenge in the mix is going to be that EPEL isnt building for EL7 as yet, and lots of people rely on EPEL for their own deps. We could help things by pushing all of EPEL6 through, and provide feedback on the EPEL lists.... thoughts ? -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

Artwork for seven
by Karanbir Singh 02 Jan '14

02 Jan '14

hi, Anyone fancy taking a dig at doing some artwork for seven ? I believe atleast the redhat-logos-69.1.9-1.el7.src.rpm would need attention. - KB -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

Input for CentOS7
by Joshua Thijssen 19 Dec '13

19 Dec '13

Hi all, As a newcomer on the list with not much time, but enough to hopefully be a bit useful to the upcoming CentOS7 release, i'm wondering what the best action is I could take? I'm seeing lots of things happening here and in other places like CentOS but not sure if is there is something i could focus on or help out? I'm seeing some info at http://seven.centos.org/ about t_functional, but i'm not sure if that is the place where help would be welcome, and if so, how to proceed to be honest. gr, josh

The Guster issue
by Karanbir Singh 18 Dec '13

18 Dec '13

hi, soliciting comments on http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=6820 ( which deals with the partial component inclusion of glusterfs into the base distro ). There are a couple of workarounds mentioned there, but none seem perfect. In an ideal world, it would be nice if Red Hat had their RHS gluster rpms in line with the gluster rpms shipped in the base distro and we could use those into CentOS-Extras. the closest other practical option seems to be building gluster --with server enabled, and shipping the extra rpms into CentOS-Extras; provided the '--with server' is retained going forward, this would atleast mean we have version sync between the client code in the distro and the server code in CentOS Extras. The option of just adding all the gluster code into the distro we ship, server and client content included, seems very intrusive and might have an impact on third party expectations. - KB -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

Issues with recent firefox update on CentOS 5
by Simon Matter 17 Dec '13

17 Dec '13

Hi, As posted in this bug http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=6843 there are now problems with the current firefox on CentOS 5 to shutdown firefox cleanly. If others experience the same please report if you can reproduce it. While we are at it, may it be possible for the developers to rebuild the package with the correct config as shown here: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=6843#bugnotes If it makes no difference then we at least know that it may also happen with upstreams package. Regards and thanks for all the hard work! Simon
