yum-3.2.8 for Centos 4 backport, part II.
by David Hrbáč 30 Jan '10

30 Jan '10

Hi, I have again worked on yum 3.2.8 for Centos 4 today, after a long time. The result is backported package yum-3.2.8-9.el4.hrb.2.1.5 which is the upgrade of yum-3.2.8-9.el4.hrb.2.1.3 I've been using smoothly for quite a long time. Packages are in testing repos: http://fs12.vsb.cz/hrb33/el4/hrb/testing/i386/repodata/ http://fs12.vsb.cz/hrb33/el4/hrb/testing/x86_64/repodata/ I'd like to ask for QA tests. This patched version passes all the internal yum tests (aka 'make test'). Regards, David Hrbáč

Forum Thread -- Relating to the CentOS 5 Testing Repository
by Justin Albstmeijer 26 Jan '10

Hi, I hoped to use php-5.2 while keeping close to the centos packages (no external repositories). So I tried the packages from http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/testing/i386/RPMS/ . These packages seem to be compiled without mime-magic support (--without-mime-magic). The previous stable php-5.1.6 packages had this mime-magic support enabled. Any reason for this change? is there an add-on rpm packages supplying this support? Just tested php-5.2.10-1.el5.centos, with the same result. Justin

selinux-policy-2.4.6-255.el5_4.4
by kfx 26 Jan '10

26 Jan '10

Hi, I hope I am on the good list to ask this, if not I apologize. 5 days ago, Upstream released an errata for the nasty bug that was introduced with selinux-policy-2.4.6-255.el5_4.3, which prevented postfix-driven systems from sending email. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2010-0063.html https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=555793#c1 I would like to know if the fixed selinux-policy rpm was in the process to be deployed for centos as the lack of it prevent me to update servers. I know that it's bad to ask :( but as Upstream say in the first time "oh you will have to wait for 5.5 for a clean fix", this bug is getting me anxious. Thanks for your work, kfx

Forum Thread -- Relating to the CentOS 5 Testing Repository

Hi, To come back to this thread: THe version that CentOS Testing is providing is a version from 2008: php-5.2.6-2.el5s2.i386.rpm 16-Sep-2008 01:20 1.2M http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/testing/i386/ The latest version from Red Hat is: http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/5Server/en/RHWAS/SRPMS/ph… Is it possible the CentOS Testing PHP (and perhaps others) packages aren't up to date and people using the CentOS Testing repo have an outdated and vulnerable PHP version running? Kind regards, Michiel

httpd from testing replace httpd.conf
by Paulo Martinez 24 Jan '10

24 Jan '10

Hi all, while switching from [updates] httpd-2.2.3-31.el5.centos.2.src.rpm to [c5-testing] httpd-2.2.8-1.el5s2.centos.src.rpm i noticed that httpd.conf will be replaced. That should not be intentional? Comparing the spec-files shows [updates] %config(noreplace) %{_sysconfdir}/httpd/conf/httpd.conf [c5-testing] %config %{_sysconfdir}/httpd/conf/httpd.conf httpd-2.2.8-1.el5s2 is from RHWAS right? Regards PM

why is the addons repo empty?
by Felix Schwarz 16 Jan '10

16 Jan '10

Hi, today I noticed that yum-priorities is not anymore in the base distribution - a fact that seems to be well documented. However the yum-utils src rpm still builds that package. Therefore I was wondering why yum-priorities is available in extras and not in addons. Basically http://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/General says: > What are all the CentOS repositories (directories) and what is each one > for? > > addons > Contains packages required in order to build the main Distribution or > packages produced by SRPMS built in the main Distribution, but not included > in the main Red Hat package tree (mysql-server in CentOS-3.x falls into > this category). Packages contained in the addons repository should be > considered essentially a part of the core distribution, but may not be in > the main Red Hat Package tree. However the addons repo is completely empty for CentOS 5.4. Does that mean addons is deprecated? fs

Re: [CentOS-devel] [CentOS-docs] Article on building i586 CentOS-5 kernel

I've been held up by my work, but here is the continuation of the conversation regarding i586 CentOS-5: On 01/11/2010 08:18 PM, Karanbir Singh wrote: >> * Can the changes mentioned in that article be incorporated into the >> stock SRPM?

I'd think a glibc.i586 might be worth doing as well. And there > were a few other packages that were required to be patched on c4 to make > it work for i586. How many of those are needed here as well ? And there > are a lot of patches in the kernel tree that might not impact the i586 > code at all. eg. whats the state of xen in this i586 kernel ? For my purpose, yes. The modified kernel and glibc.i386 and openssl.i386 are all I needed to get the system running from CF card. I'm not using the procps RPM, but using busybox instead. I never tested Xen support on the i586 kernel. The "CentOS5PentiumSupport" wiki doc mentioned that "-ffast-math" generated CMOV instructions in .i386 packages. That sounds more like a gcc bug. So instead of patching all the packages that enable "-ffast-math", patching gcc would be the ultimate solution. > If there is reasonable interest in running a i586 tree, then imho, a SIG > dedicated to this would be the best route to go.

I can see that the amount of physical hardware available for testing i586 packages is limited, but I guess when CentOS-4 reaches EOL, some people might opt for a CentOS-5 upgrade path. Anyway, I'm happy to help out with any testing on physical hardware. When I do find the time, I'll try to look into the CMOV and gcc issue, but no promises there. One thing I'm not good at is organizing things, so I won't volunteer to initiate the SIG... Regards, Timothy Lee
