How to handle kABI when patching kernel
by Mike Schmidt 19 Apr '12

19 Apr '12

Hi, I've generated (via rpmbuild) a patched version of the latest CentoS 6.2 kernel (2.6.32-220.7.1) with the imq patchset ( http://www.linuximq.net/patches.html) but this causes the kABI to break. What can orshould I do about this, if anything? What kinds of changes cause the kABI to break? Would it be reasonable to think I might be able to fix the patch to be kABI compliant? Is the kABI for CentOS the same as the one for the upstream RHEL version? Should I try to patch the kABI (as Oracle does in their unbreakable linux kernel)? What would be the procedure foir this? I understand you can't help me with the patches or the kernel itself, but I was hoping you might help me understand the kABI well enough that I can handle things for there. Thanks very much. -- *Mike SCHMIDT **CTO Intello Technologies Inc. **mike.schmidt(a)intello.com* *Canada: 1-888-404-6261 x320 USA: 1-888-404-6268 x320 Mobile: 514-409-6898 www.intello.com* * *

Hi, I noticed that there are source RPMs missing from the vault for both C5 and C6: * http://vault.centos.org/5.8/updates/SRPMS/ (last updated April 3), and * http://vault.centos.org/6.2/updates/Source/SPackages/ (last updated April 9) Did something break in the automated build process? Chris

How Centos compiles SRPMs from Red Hat
by Peter Penzov 13 Apr '12

13 Apr '12

Hi, I'm interested how Centos Team changes and compiles SRPMs from Red Hat? Do you have a public manual which describes the process of compilation and building Centos? I suppose that this information is not private. Can you give me a more information about that? Best wishes Peter

source rpms for z-stream
by Florian La Roche 12 Apr '12

12 Apr '12

Hello, anyone knows if Red Hat is pushing out source rpms for 4.y.z releases only or if the same will be done for RHEL5 and RHEL6 as well? Having all source rpms released would be a good step for CentOS and co, but maybe this is only done for the the discontinued RHEL4? By the way: ftp.redhat.com has rsync enabled for some time now, so having mirrors of it is much more convenient than in the past. best regards, Florian La Roche rsync: opendir "/ftp.redhat.com/updates/enterprise/4Desktop-4.5.z" (in download) failed: Permission denied (13) rsync: opendir "/ftp.redhat.com/updates/enterprise/4Desktop-LACD" (in download) failed: Permission denied (13) rsync: opendir "/ftp.redhat.com/updates/enterprise/4Desktop" (in download) failed: Permission denied (13) rsync: opendir "/ftp.redhat.com/updates/enterprise/4ES-4.5.z" (in download) failed: Permission denied (13) rsync: opendir "/ftp.redhat.com/updates/enterprise/4ES-4.7.z-cluster" (in download) failed: Permission denied (13) rsync: opendir "/ftp.redhat.com/updates/enterprise/4ES-4.7.z" (in download) failed: Permission denied (13) rsync: opendir "/ftp.redhat.com/updates/enterprise/4ES-LACD" (in download) failed: Permission denied (13) rsync: opendir "/ftp.redhat.com/updates/enterprise/4ES" (in download) failed: Permission denied (13) rsync: opendir "/ftp.redhat.com/updates/enterprise/4WS-4.5.z" (in download) failed: Permission denied (13) rsync: opendir "/ftp.redhat.com/updates/enterprise/4WS-LACD" (in download) failed: Permission denied (13) rsync: opendir "/ftp.redhat.com/updates/enterprise/4WS" (in download) failed: Permission denied (13) rsync: opendir "/ftp.redhat.com/updates/rhn" (in download) failed: Permission denied (13) IO error encountered -- skipping file deletion

CentOS for ARM
by Gordan Bobic 25 Mar '12

25 Mar '12

Hi guys, I recently became aware that this is being worked on as of recently. A similar thing already exists, though. Those interested in an ARM port may also be interested in taking a look at RedSleeve Linux, which is an ARM port of the same upstream distribution as CentOS. You can look here for more info: http://www.redsleeve.org/about/ http://www.redsleeve.org/ In total 109 SRPMs had to be modified in order to get them to build and work on ARM. They are in SRPMS/changed directory on the RedSleeve mirror. (Note: About 5 of those 109 were changed in order to remove the upstream branding which isn't relevant to the CentOS effort as it is already taken care of. It is quite well known what those are.) I hope this is of interest to the CentOS ARM port efforts. Or, you could take RedSleeve for a spin, since that is already available. :) Gordan

Automating Artwork Production
by Alain Reguera Delgado 24 Mar '12

24 Mar '12

Hello, I've been in silence a long time so far because it is very difficult for me to have real Internet access. However, I've kept myself working for CentOS and now, I publish what I've been doing for you to evaluate and propose considerations. I know the wiki is not the best place to post this information, but it is the only one I have access to (because restrictions on my side, not yours). Excuse me for that. The centos-art.sh script: http://wiki.centos.org/AlainRegueraDelgado?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=… Documentation about the CentOS Artwork Repository (centos-art.sh script included): http://wiki.centos.org/AlainRegueraDelgado?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=… The CentOS Artwork Repository Tree for which all automation was done. http://wiki.centos.org/AlainRegueraDelgado?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=… The centos-web.cgi: http://wiki.centos.org/AlainRegueraDelgado?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=… That's it for now. I'll try to download the mailing list archives to read your comments and when possible replay them. Thank you very much for all the work you do. I'll try to be back as soon as possible. Best Regards, al.
