Lang subsites/ portals
by Karanbir Singh 25 Nov '09

25 Nov '09

hi guys, I was wondering if we can have a 45 min to 60 min chat on voice regarding the language subsites that have been worked on / planned and also been setup to some extent. There is content on the wiki that sort of sum's up most of the effort that has gone in - but I think it would be good for all of us if the following people were to sync up once: - Infrastructure - Artwork - French People - Spanish People - German People - Portuguese ( Brazil ) People We dont actually have a web team at the moment, but the Infra team should be a good representative of that side of things. And anyone else who wants to come along ( specially if more Language groups than mentioned above want to get involved at this stage ). CentOS has a voip setup in place, that also has some dial in numbers for the US, UK and Germany - and of-course other people can join over voip from anywhere in the world. We will try and get some instructions on howto achieve this online well in advance. I am going to propose having this conversation on the 18th Nov at 1945 UTC. -- Karanbir Singh London, UK | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh ICQ: 2522219 | Yahoo IM: z00dax | Gtalk: z00dax GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

LiveCD rebuild with persistence enabled
by Ernesto Celis 25 Nov '09

25 Nov '09

Hello I don't know if this is the right list to post this, if it's not plese feel free to ponting me in the right direction. I was needing a LiveCD persistence capable to dum it into an external HDD and be able to work outside office with the customers. So I rebuilt the i386 CentOS LiveCD to make it persistence capable. I also made a little modification to the livecd-iso-to-disk script, so it creates the persistence file on an ext3 filesystem, since I have had bad experiences running linux live distros over FAT. If this is of your interest, let me know. Saludos Ernesto Celis (Usuario Linux #323140) irc.freenode.net #centos-es

Re: [CentOS-devel] mock-0.9.19 on CentOS5/RHEL5

Hello Mike, thanks for getting the new release of mock out, also for the pykickstart commit to keep working with older python releases. I've moved to newest rpms and besides mock I've also tested koji a bit more now. Some recompile tests with kernel,glibc,memtest86+ and a dozen other rpms did all work ok, so the special koji config steps should be complete now... (Also Michal Hlavinka has merged in some bits for dovecot to have newest Fedora Rawhide rpms compile on RHEL5, so overall it's been a good week to reduce extra patches for me.) thanks, Florian La Roche

deltarpm and presto for centos
by Farkas Levente 18 Nov '09

18 Nov '09

hi what's the current status of deltarpms and presto for centos? i'm just rebuild deltarpms, presto-utils, yum-presto packages from fedora for centos. is there any plan to add them to centos extras? what's the current state? i'm interested about not just using but generating deltarpms enabled repositories. imho it can save a lot's of bandwith for everybody (not to mention if presto will use google's courgette algorithm too). thanks in advance. -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"

suspend event channel support for xen domU
by Tait Clarridge 16 Nov '09

16 Nov '09

Hey Guys, Is there any plan to merge suspend event channel support into the CentOS kernel-xen package? Just doing some work with remus and it is required for PV domU support. I can build my own kernels for now, but was wondering if there is a roadmap for this or whether it is something that needs to be worked on (I can help with testing if required). Best, Tait Clarridge

Hello Mike, this small change is all that is needed, at least for a first start. I've put this into bugzilla in August and Clark has done a clean patch within two days, but it is not commited into the public repo and also no new rpm has been pushed out. See bz 516355 for details. Karanbir: You've already emailed the current CentOS position to have one mock version across all of CentOS3/4/5 running and that the newest bits don't qualify for that. This could maybe change next year once CentOS3 does not get updates anymore. I could see similar decisions like e.g. keeping to a mock version starting at initial release of a new major CentOS push-out. (Then CentOS-5 would always stick to the mock release that was used for CentOS-5.0...) Another idea that Red Hat would probably support is to just use the same mock version that also Red Hat uses for their releases, just to have another data point that CentOS is really 100% compatibel to RHEL. (Keeping infrastructure the same should be extended to as many parts as possible.) regards, Florian La Roche

Hello, if you want to run the newest version of mock (0.9.19) with RHEL5/CentOS5, you can use a backported version from: http://www.jur-linux.org/rpms/el-updates/5/SRPMS/mock-0.9.19-1.el5.src.rpm http://www.jur-linux.org/rpms/el-updates/5/i386/mock-0.9.19-1.el5.noarch.rpm regards, Florian La Roche

missing packages from 5.4
by Farkas Levente 10 Nov '09

10 Nov '09

hi, it seems there are a few source packages missing from 5.4: celt051-0.5.1.3-0.el5.src.rpm etherboot-5.4.4-10.el5.src.rpm iasl-20061109-5.el5.src.rpm kvm-83-105.el5.src.rpm log4cpp-1.0-4.el5.src.rpm qcairo-1.8.7.1-3.el5.src.rpm qffmpeg-0.4.9-0.15.20080908.el5.src.rpm qpixman-0.13.3-4.el5.src.rpm qspice-0.3.0-39.el5.src.rpm it seems all x86_64 only package's source are missing:-) at the same time nautilus-sendto-1.0.1-6.el5.centos.src.rpm pango-1.14.9-6.el5.centos yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-3.el5.centos.src.rpm has no reason to be .centos since there is no changes from rhel and i also suspect etherboot-5.4.4-10.el5.centos.X.rpm but as there is no src.rpm for etherboot i can't check it. -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"

5.4 install failure
by John Summerfield 30 Oct '09

30 Oct '09

I've mirrored the 5.4 repos and run createrepo on WBEL crossed with Centos4 on account of the WB folk seem to be MIA. Presumably, there's something wrong with my incantation of createrepo or something, because anaconda complains. It says my repo is butchers and proffers a reboot button. "Unable to read group information from repositories, This is a problem with the generation of your install tree." Okay, above is background. Here's the odd bit. I choose the one button on offer, and Anaconda goes on and installs! I'm not sure what it installs, but there is a bootable system, A kernel, grub are both properly in place. I can login as root, but root's dot files are not in place, so that bash doesn't do its initialisation. Manually copying the contents /etc/skel works. Can't really see what's installed because rpm isn't. It's really secure, it starts no daemons at all. Of course, anaconda should be rebooting, but this is way more entertaining. Am I right to think I should be telling createrepo about the file, comps.xml? -- Cheers John -- spambait 1aaaaaaa(a)coco.merseine.nu Z1aaaaaaa(a)coco.merseine.nu -- Advice http://webfoot.com/advice/email.top.php http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 You cannot reply off-list:-)

VirtualBox + CentOS 5.3/5.4 (xrandr issue?)
by IT2 Stuart Blake Tener, USNR 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

ALCON, I recently tested CentOS 5.3/5.4 with VirtualBox, and had some issues getting the video to pronounce itself properly. After logging on it was able to function in full screen mode capably (when I had used a customized xconf.org file that someone had published as "working", as well as having installed the VirtualBox "guest additions"), but the login screen did not configure into a proper manner. I read a few postings about this issue being related to the xrandr library version that is used within CentOS, but since I do not have RedHat 5.3 or 5.4, presume this might be a CentOS only issue for some reason? Can anyone enlighten me regarding this issue and any recommended methods for working around it? Thanks in advance, and do have a most wonderful and blessed day. -- IT2 Stuart Blake Tener, USNR, N3GWG (Extra), MROP Beverly Hills, CA / Las Vegas, NV / Philadelphia, PA / Washington, DC mobile: (310) 358-0202 Nextel: 124*233172*14 (direct connect) e-mail: teners(a)bh90210.net
