Boot.Kernel.Org and CentOS
by Karanbir Singh 04 Aug '11

04 Aug '11

hi guys, About a year or so back, there was some effort put into getting a CentOS-5 image setup to work off boot.kernel.org and be able to get that install process working. That effort was abandoned since it needed quite a lot of work to be done, and was startig to become massively intrusive. The people involved with that effort, including me, are quite busy with a lot of stuff on the agenda at the moment and I was wondering if anyone would like to pickup CentOS-6 images and see whats needed to make things work off b.k.o Regards, - KB -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh ICQ: 2522219 | Yahoo IM: z00dax | Gtalk: z00dax GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

Centos server installation
by cephas kamuchira 02 Aug '11

02 Aug '11

I am just suggesting a new opinion on centos server. During the installation, why cant you add a check or click all box to select all packages you are going to install when choosing packages or service you want to install in the server. i have to do the clicking on 1 at a time just to install like 300 or more packages. Its just my sugestion Thank you -- *Best Regards* * * *Cephas Kamuchira Linux System Administrator* *PCworxshop/Foresite* *www.pcworxshop.co.za* <http://www.pcworxshop.co.za/> *Pinetown Durban Kwa-Zulu Natal South Africa * ** *Cell: 071 980 4006 E-mail:**cephokamuchira@gmail.com* <cephokamuchira(a)gmail.com> * **cephas(a)foresite.co.za* <cephas(a)foresite.co.za>

Possibly nothing, but I've opened bug #4980 around 40 minutes ago, and updated it just now, yet received no e-mails from either. thanks, jerry

mock using yum .repo file?
by Ljubomir Ljubojevic 25 Jul '11

25 Jul '11

Hi. I hope this is not too off-topic. I am setting up and learning mock to build packages for CentOS 6, and I have couple of questions for experts. 1. Can I somehow use .repo files from /etc/yum.repos.d/ ? I use 20-30 .repo files on and off (each repository(folder) in it's own file for easier manipulation without editing files), and editing repo configs in 2 places is not too appealing. I have seen this: $MOCK --copyin /etc/yum.repos.d/texlive-mock.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/ is this what I am looking for? 2. Will cleaning mentioned in manual delete all installed rpms (dependencies) or just building folder? If I want to compile same (or different but using same dependancies) package, how to keep dependencies packages for faster compile? I have ccache = 4G, yum cache on 15 days and root cahce on 10 days. Will this do? 3. How do yum priorities work in mock? I have them set for every repo and if I can use .repo files will mock honor priorities? If .repo files can not be used, do I have to sort repos based on priorities values or can I use priority= ? Thanks in advance. -- Ljubomir Ljubojevic (Love is in the Air) PL Computers Serbia, Europe Google is the Mother, Google is the Father, and traceroute is your trusty Spiderman...

some noarch packages missing in CentOS 6.0 i386 repo?
by Teck Choon Giam 24 Jul '11

24 Jul '11

Hi, This is my second post about missing packages. First one no reply about dev86 package (http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2011-July/007903.html) so this is my second post in the hope that someone is kind enough to direct me to the right channel to ask such questions. Thanks in advance. The following noarch packages found in CentOS 6.0 x86_64 repo but not in CentOS 6.0 i386 repo: vgabios-0.6b-3.4.el6.noarch.rpm gpxe-roms-0.9.7-6.3.el6.noarch.rpm mvapich-common-1.2.0-0.3562.5.el6.noarch.rpm gpxe-roms-qemu-0.9.7-6.3.el6.noarch.rpm perl-XML-DOM-XPath-0.14-4.el6.noarch.rpm perl-XML-Writer-0.606-6.el6.noarch.rpm gpxe-bootimgs-0.9.7-6.3.el6.noarch.rpm perl-Module-Find-0.08-3.el6.noarch.rpm Thanks. Kindest regards, Giam Teck Choon

ksplice and CentOS
by Karanbir Singh 24 Jul '11

24 Jul '11

hi guys, lots of people on this list are keen on contributing to the CentOS effort - and one place where we could, as a group of people, make a massive difference is being able to deliver a ksplice upgrade model. A couple of people have started in silo's to try and get something together but I feel it might be a good time to try and see if we can do somethng as a group. Do we have people on the list who find the idea of rebootless kernel upgrades interesting ? Is there some desire to try and make that happen within the CentOS Ecosystem ? - KB

by Chris 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

It looks like in the extras repo for CentOS 6 the following packages are missing: libmcrypt.x86_64 : Encryption algorithms library libmcrypt-devel.x86_64 : Development libraries and headers for libmcrypt php-mcrypt.x86_64 : Standard PHP module provides mcrypt library support These packages exist in the extras repo for CentOS 5.6 and are a critical part of the whole php and mysql interaction.

Lots of updates to EL5.x
by Karanbir Singh 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

hi guys, looks like 5.7 just got released upstream. The rpm build and the distro build services for the 5.x distro is independant from the 6.x stuff, so it should build in parallel and be available shortly ( via the CR setup ) There are a couple of updates from 5.6 still pending - I just pushed those out. - KB
