where did you get the optional packages?
by Farkas Levente 11 Nov '10

11 Nov '10

hi, as rhel-6 release my old question arise again. from where did you get the optional packages' src.rpms? eg: a2ps-4.14-10.1.el6 is included in all of this channel: RHEL Client Optional (v. 6 for 32-bit x86) RHEL Client Optional (v. 6 for 64-bit x86_64) RHEL Server Optional (v. 6 64-bit x86_64) RHEL Server Optional (v. 6 for 32-bit x86) RHEL Workstation Optional (v. 6 for 32-bit x86) RHEL Workstation Optional (v. 6 for x86_64) but this packages (with many other optional packages) can't be find on redhat's ftp server (or at least i can't find it). can you tell me from where the centos team legally download this packages' src.rpm? thanks in advance. regards. -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"

Artwork for C6
by Karanbir Singh 07 Nov '10

07 Nov '10

Hi, with the EL6beta2 Refresh, I am going to guess that the rhel6 release isnt far - and one of the things that takes the longest to get sorted out in 'CentOS Lands' is the artwork components. It would be fantastic if we can get some of the centos-artwork packages into the testing repo's by the 15th Aug. So what all do we need in order to get there ? The components we need to start with are the gnome theme, *-artwork packages and *-logos packages. Can we also get a show of hands, on who all are working on these components ? Thanks - KB

EL6 and larger than DVD install media
by Karanbir Singh 22 Oct '10

22 Oct '10

hi, I am guessing most people have looked at the larger-than-DVD install tree's in the shape of the 'base' and 'optional' repos in rhel6-beta. When it comes to us doing the tree's there are a couple of options, one of which might be to stick with 'base' and 'optional' repositories. But I am fairly sure that Red Hat will productise their tree's into the various varients ( Workstation, Server, Cluster Suite etc ) and drop the 'optional' repo to make things look a lot more like the EL5 tree's. Since we mix all the tree's into one - that creates the issue we have with 5.5/x86_64/DVD1 and DVD2. Not ideal. I have a couple of ideas on this, but would like to hear what everyone else thinks is the best way to handle this. Keep in mind that we want to try to ensure that all kickstart / tools / code written for RHEL should justwork on CentOS ( well, as much as is possible ). - KB

Updated docs on http://www.centos.org/docs
by Fabian Arrotin 18 Oct '10

18 Oct '10

Hi all, I've seen too much people being redirected to www.centos.org/docs while asking something specific in the #centos channel, and sometimes it will fail, just because those people ask for example details about kvm and that kvm isn't included in the 5.2 virtualization guide that is hosted on the centos server. What does need to be done to include newer doc on www.centos.org/docs, that is in-line with the docs available upstream ? For example , i see that Johnny just removed a s"hadow man logo" in the header and a "red hat documentation" link+icon He also added a kind of 'disclaimer' in the footer. Is there something else to be done ? If i consider the 5.5 technical notes that are on the centos docs server, i still see a "shadow man" logo on the first page ... -- -- Fabian Arrotin

Updated nx/freenx packages
by Akemi Yagi 04 Oct '10

04 Oct '10

CentOS devs (perhaps Tru?), I have an updated version of nx/freenx ready. The srpms are: http://centos.toracat.org/misc/nx-freenx/5/SRPMS/freenx-0.7.3-6.el5.centos.… http://centos.toracat.org/misc/nx-freenx/5/SRPMS/nx-3.4.0-6.el5.centos.ay.s… Two tarballs (nxagent and nx-X11) in nx have been update to the current version (as of Sept 2010). One main change done in this update is addition of support for RHEL6(beta). For example, rpmbuild -bb --target x86_64 --define 'dist .el6.centos' --define "centos_ver 6" freenx.spec will build the x86_64 version of freenx for RHEL/CentOS-6. Anyone wishing to give them a try can find the binaries at: http://centos.toracat.org/misc/nx-freenx/6/i386/ http://centos.toracat.org/misc/nx-freenx/6/x86_64/ I have tested them against RHEL 6 beta2 and they seem to work fine. Thanks, Akemi

Forums migration to phpbb
by Karanbir Singh 01 Oct '10

01 Oct '10

Starting a new thread... So there are a few things that need to be done with the forums : - Workable data migration path from the existing forums setup to phpbb - setup a single authentication module with its own account creation / deletion / admin interface - Migrating the wiki, bugs and www site to use the same auth mechanism. Things already done : + phpbb install and tested migration ( I am guessing this based on Marcus's last email ) Looking at the list of things that need to be done, I dont need to be or want to be involved with any of them, but am happy to project-manage if that is something which is needed. So, who's offering to do what ? Step-1 might be to check and verify that wiki/bugs/www can be migrated to using the ldap auth setup proposed for phpbb. - KB

Building or maintaining CentOS EUS releases
by carlopmart 22 Sep '10

22 Sep '10

Hi all, Would it be possible to release CentOS EUS with their respective patches like upstream vendor does?? For example two releases or one release back: 5.4 and 5.3 or 5.4 only. Why? Because for example for important bugs detected on upstream 5.5 version like this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=583218. This bug doesn't exists under 5.4 release, and IMHO, it is a very important bug (it is marked as urgent on upstream). I think it would be nice to have the possibility to choose between one version and another according to the problems that arise. Many thanks. -- CL Martinez carlopmart {at} gmail {d0t} com
