Subject: [CentOS-devel] Shipping an EPEL release
hi guys,
One bit of feedback at LinuxCon this year from people was that we should
ship epel with a lower barrier to entry. And I have mixed feelings about
that. But I wanted to know what everyone else thinks about :
1) Shipping epel-release in CentOS-Extras, so its installable, usable
out of the box.
2) Shipping epel-release in the distro itself, with the epel repos's
enabled=false. This is the option that most people seem to want, but I
am least keen on.
3) do nothing, leave things as they are.
Ofcourse, if we do either (1) or (2) we would need to set some sort of a
baseline standard that allows other repo's to be included as well ( as +
if they meet the baseline standard )
regards,

hi Guys,
I already began to download a working copy of The CentOS Artwork
Repository with the intention of committing up the changes I've been
working on through these last 3 years and this way, put in place all the
information you need to test, verify and validate the work. I'm using a
slow commutated connection with an average speed of 5KB/s but things are
going on. I think the new directory structure should be online to the
end of this month, if everything goes as planned so far.
The CentOS Artwork Repository has changed significantly from that
version currently online to that one I pretend to share this month. The
directory structure currently online suffered significant changes as to
be completely replaced. A preview of the new directory structure I want
to share is in the following file:
http://wiki.centos.org/AlainRegueraDelgado?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=…
I would like to know what do we do with the old directory structure
currently available online (https://projects.centos.org/svn/artwork/)?
Do we remove it completely in the sake of the new one, or do we preserve
it in some other place (maybe under tags/)? ...
Once all the information be online and ready to be used, my plan is to
update the wiki page (http://wiki.centos.org/ArtWork) to introduce the
changes and the steps you need to follow in order to test the new
directory structure of The CentOS Artwork Repository. This info might
probably answer some of the questions laying around.
Best Regards,

hi Guys,
There was a problem with some old design models inside The CentOS
Artwork Repository which prevented centos-art.sh script from rendering
images at preparation process. The exact problem was given because of a
wrong path inside those old design models, specifically when
centos-art.sh script verified them.
This problem was fixed and you should be able to render images right
away, after updating your working copy of The CentOS Artwork Repository.
Other changes were also committed. The exact changes can be found at:
https://projects.centos.org/trac/artwork/timeline

hi Guys,
The CentOS Artwork Repository has been updated and needs to be tested by
The CentOS Community.
To test The CentOS Artwork Repository, you need to:
1. Follow the steps described in the page http://wiki.centos.org/ArtWork
to configure your workstation and your working copy.
2. Read the documentation at
`trunk/Manuals/Tcar-ug/tcar-ug-xhtml/index.html' to get a background
information about the production environment your working copy
is and how you can make use of it.
3. Explore the directory structure and play with centos-art.sh script.
Specifically with functionalities like render, help and locale. This
functionalities are described in the documentation named before. The
source code of these functionalities is also available at
trunk/Scripts/Bash/Functions, in case you are interested to contribute.
The present state (revision 880) of The CentOS Artwork Repository
published at https://projects.centos.org/svn/artwork is still an ongoing
work and needs much more attention. So, if you consider that something
must be improved or isn't working as expected, please send an e-mail to
centos-devel(a)centos.org describing what you've found. Likewise if you
find your self in trouble performing any of the previous steps, send an
e-mail to centos-devel(a)centos.org to find answers.
Personally, I'm very interested about the community needs and wishes
related to the creation of a consistent visual identity for The CentOS
Project that can be refreshed/updated each time a new major release of
The CentOS Distribution be published. Initially it may not be possible
to satisfy everything immediately but knowing such information will help
us to identify and give priority to those areas with higher demand and,
this way, work on the routes that will help us to get there, where we
want to be.
Best regards,

The latest version of mod_security has been built for CentOS-5 and
CentOS-6. Also included with in the CentOS-5 build is the version of
lua that ships with CentOS-6.3 as it is a requirement for the latest
mod_security.
Please test this build and provide feedback so that we can get this
released or fixed if there are issues.

Thanks,

I noticed updates for dhcp and redhat-logos. From the changelog it
becomes clear why there was no announcement nor update from redhat. As I
understand this was only branding stuff.
* Mit Aug 15 2012 Johnny Hughes <johnny(a)centos.org> -
12:4.1.1-31.P1.1.el6.centos
- created patch 1000 for CentOS Branding
- replaced vvendor variable with CentOS in the SPEC file
* Mit Aug 15 2012 Johnny Hughes <johnny(a)centos.org> 60.0.14-12
- Bugfix for CentOS Bug #5704
But it is not clear to me why there was no announcement from CentOS, at
least I can not find it. I am subscribed to centos-announce and I had a
look at
http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2012-August/thread.html too.

Hi Guys,
We need to get a webpage or a webapp up that allows new mirror admin's
to request addition to the mirror list and for people to request
changed. It just needs to allow some specific bits of into, validate
that input, make sure its a person doing the request - and file as an
entry at bugs.centos.org.
Anyone fancy taking this work up ? I'd be quite happy to help and
provide all the info needed.
Thanks

Attached a kickstart file that is known to work with Scientific Linux 6 alpha.
As well as a kickstart file with a software RAID1 configuration that throws an
error with Scientific Linux.
The exact same disk layout does work with Centos 5.5, so submitting it as test
case.
