mirrorlist issue
by Andreas Rogge 18 Dec '09

18 Dec '09

While upgrading our servers to 5.4 I just noticed that the mirrorlist is somewhat "broken" (at least for me). For 4.8 it does work: http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?repo=updates&arch=x86_64&release=4.8 For 5.3 it also works: http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?repo=updates&arch=x86_64&release=5.3 But for 5.4 it doesn't work: http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?repo=updates&arch=x86_64&release=5.4 Is that intended? If so: how do I say "I want 5.4 and all its updats but I don't want to move to 5.5 right now" <background-info> I know that usually one would just ask for "release=5", however - our rpm-patch-and-upgrade-toolchain relies on the ability to pin the system to a specific CentOS release until we're sure our boxes can be moved to the new release. We do that by replacing $releasever in the CentOS-Base.repo with the exact release we want to stay with. </background-info> Regards, Andreas -- Solvention Egermannstr. 6-8 53359 Rheinbach Tel: +49 2226 158179-0 Fax: +49 2226 158179-9 http://www.solvention.de mailto:info@solvention.de

New package: PowerAdmin
by Léon Keijser 18 Dec '09

18 Dec '09

Hi, I would like to submit a new package for inclusion in the CentOS repositories: Spec URL: http://leon.fedorapeople.org/files/poweradmin/poweradmin.spec SRPM URL: http://leon.fedorapeople.org/files/poweradmin/poweradmin-2.1.3-5.fc12.src.r… Description: Poweradmin is a friendly web-based DNS administration tool for Bert Hubert's PowerDNS server. The interface has full support for most of the features of PowerDNS. It has full support for all zone types ( master, native and slave), for supermasters for automatic provisioning of slave zones, full support for IPv6 and comes with multi-language support. See feature list for all features. rpmlint outputs 2 warnings, both of which i can explain: poweradmin.noarch: W: file-not-in-%lang /var/www/html/poweradmin/locale/nl_NL/LC_MESSAGES/messages.mo poweradmin.noarch: W: dangerous-command-in-%post rm The locale file belongs to the poweradmin package and is not meant for system-wide usage. The rm command is to remove the ./install dir when upgrading the package. If it's not removed, PowerAdmin won't function properly anymore. Having never submitted anything for CentOS yet, i welcome all input. Kind regards, -- Léon

Donating: Out we not be more understanding on the list?
by IT2 Stuart Blake Tener, USNR 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

List members, I am not sure if it is just I, but there seem to be a prevalent amount of elitism on this list, and as such I think this is a good time to make note of it in the light of working to accept donations. It will hopefully be instructive to the some several folks (not all of course, but a select segment) of people on this list that are regularly curt, abrupt, condescending, and dismissive of those asking queries of the list to take stock of the fact that their alienating effect is long term and not soon forgotten. Surely, this will impact one's choice to donate. Thus, if the greater CentOS community is going to try to accept donations from those that see extremely righteous value in their work, why spoil that point of view by proving inarguably a contrarian outlook by treating people on this list dismissively? I have no objection to elitism, just noting that sometimes it is better to be a non-elitist with donations, that an elitist with less donations. Just a word to those that think they are wise, but really need to become wise. V/R, Stuart

Donating?
by Alan Bartlett 09 Dec '09

09 Dec '09

Earlier today, a forum thread was started by "Sirlurkalot" with the above subject header. [1] The OP posted the following: [quote] I was very happy to make the annual donation, but the option appears to have disappeared. Am I missing something ? I see it says 'Policy being reviewed' but that was back in August. [/quote] Would one of the CentOS devs please respond to it. Russ, I'm thinking of you. ;-) Could you please find the time? Alan.

S3 (Suspend to Disk) with XEN
by Yukio Yamaishi 07 Dec '09

07 Dec '09

Hi All, I have a 5.4 box and testing xen 3.4 on kernel-xen-2.6.18-164.6.1.el5. As you know, there are no enough configuration to do "Suspend to Disk" of the .config of the kernel-xen-2.6.18-164.6.1.el5. # Power management options (ACPI, APM) # CONFIG_PM=y Then, I tied to get the kernel-2.6.18-164.6.1.el5.src. rpm, installed that. #pwd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.18/linux-2.6.18.i686 #cp configs/kernel-2.6.18-i686-xen.config .config #make menuconfig Power management options (ACPI, APM) ---> ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support ---> │ │ │ │ CPU Frequency scaling ---> │ │ There are no menu which likes "Legacy Power Management API". How can I add the options to enable the Supend to Disk? Yukio

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!"
