CentOS 5.x for Sparc?
by Michael Worsham 26 Nov '08

26 Nov '08

Long ago, there was a CentOS build for Sparc under version 4.2 Beta. I checked for the torrents for either the DVD and CD binary or source isos, but no one is seeding that anymore as well. The old Sparc 4.2 beta repo was found here: http://beta.centos.org/centos/4.2beta/isos/sparc/ ... but that doesn't have enough information to even attempt a netinstall or a tftp/rarpd boot/install. Then just recently, I saw this CentOS announcement/post: "We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of CentOS-5.2 for the i386 and x86_64 Architectures. [...] Further Arch support for PowerPC, IA64 and Sparc are planned and will be released soon. These arch's will follow the existing pattern of release to Beta first, and then to Final." Reference: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2008-June/014999.html So, my question is... when is a Sparc beta release going to be available for 5.x? -- Michael

xenpv drivers status
by Karanbir Singh 23 Nov '08

23 Nov '08

I wonder if anyone can check what is to become of the xenpv drivers that were recently released ( ref: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHEA-2008-0274.html ) They were not included on the 5.2 media... Are they still available from an EL5.2-from-media install via rhn or something such ? - KB -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219@icq

rubygems rpm spec file
by Matt Rose 20 Nov '08

I built the following rpm. It requires ruby and ruby-libs to build. This version does not install the built-in rdoc and ri files for rubygems, as that requires a little more work than I have time for right now. http://folkwolf.net/rubygems-1.3.1-1.src.rpm HTH Matt Summary: RubyGem Name: rubygems Version: 1.3.1 Release: 1 requires: ruby >= 1.8.5, ruby-libs >= 1.8.5 Source0: %{name}-%{version}.tgz License: GPL URL: http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/45905/ BuildRoot: %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-root-%(%{__id_u} -n) BuildArch: noarch BuildPreReq: ruby >= 1.8.5, ruby-libs >= 1.8.5 Group: Development/Tools %description Ruby Gems %prep %setup -q %install ruby setup.rb --destdir $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr --no-rdoc --no-ri cd $RPM_BUILD_ROOT find . -type d | sed '1,2d;s,^\.,\%attr(-\,root\,root) \%dir ,' > $RPM_BUILD_DIR/file.list.%{name} find . -type f | sed 's,^\.,\%attr(-\,root\,root) ,' >> $RPM_BUILD_DIR/file.list.%{name} find . -type l | sed 's,^\.,\%attr(-\,root\,root) ,' >> $RPM_BUILD_DIR/file.list.%{name} %files -f ../file.list.%{name} %clean rm -rf %{buildroot}

Thank you
by Michael A Bosse' 20 Nov '08

20 Nov '08

As a long time user of Slackware, I am very pleased that some of my friends directed me to centos. I needed to upgrade my workstation from 10.2 for security reasons and in all future versions of slackware, they got rid of gnome. I have found a new home here and I want to pass on my appreciation to the people who make this great distribution possible. From the bottom of my heart, thank you centos developers! Mike Bosse'

Re: [CentOS-devel] Supercomputing 2008
by Brandon Davidson 20 Nov '08

Hu Laurence, I stopped by the Platform booth this afternoon and had a nice discussion with Gabor about the relationship between Kusu and the RHEL HPC channel. Gabor mentioned that the current process sees Platform pushing SRPMs to Red Hat for building, validation, and eventual publishing via their HPC channel. Please correct me if I'm wrong, guys :) It sounds like we are all still waiting on Red Hat to release their source packages on the FTP site. Due to the nature of the partnership, Platform cannot provide us with the SRPMs - they have to come from RH. It sounded like the folks at Platform might be able to poke some people to make this happen at little sooner? Once this happens, the next step would probably be to set up an HPC project and SIG on the CentOS website, and start building / testing the packages. Once the packages look stable, perhaps a repo on the mirrors would be appropriate? Regards, -Brandon

CentOS for router product
by Arut Selvan 19 Nov '08

19 Nov '08

Hello folks, I have been told by my boss to do a feasability study of using CentOS for our routing product. I have some basic questions regarding CentOS. Please clarify. 1. Is the kernel used by CentOS pre-emptible/non-preemptible ? 2. Does CentOS allow for assigning of process priorities (e.g in VxWorks task priorities can be set at creation time) 3. What is the clock resolution provided ? Appreciate your valuable response. Thanks a lot! Arut Every tomorrow comes in the form of today! -- Be Yourself @ mail.com!

Building latest kmods for latest kernel automatically
by Fabian Arrotin 18 Nov '08

18 Nov '08

While i was talking with someone in #centos about drbd, we saw that there was no kmod-drbd82 (nor kmod-drbd) package for the latest and current 5.2 kernel. In fact the last one was for 2.6.18-92.1.10 ... I know that Johnny tested the weak-updates script but what if a new user already using the latest kernel try to install a new module (like for the drbd kmod) ? so it seems a build for every kernel has still to be done but unfortunately that depends on the people who initially build such kmod (for centosplus and extras and that are not in base). Is there a possibility to think about some kind of automated procedure so that each new built kernel (update) package for [updates] triggers a build of corresponding kmods sitting in extras/centosplus ? What do you think ? -- - Fabian Arrotin <fabian.arrotin(a)arrfab.net> "Internet network currently down, TCP/IP packets delivered now by UPS/Fedex ..."
