drbd modules for recent centos 4.x kernel updates
by Kevin Fenzi 25 Feb '09

25 Feb '09

Greetings. It seems the drbd modules are still not present for recent update kernels for CentOS 4.x. ;( See: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=3291 Any idea when they might be available? Or is work being done to make them non kernel specific as has been done in CentOS 5.x? Thanks for any info... kevin

ECCN and CentOS
by Karanbir Singh 19 Feb '09

19 Feb '09

hi, Over the last few months we have been repeatedly been asked about ECCN and CentOS and how things work work for companies/governments etc. The usual response is: were not your lawyers, speak to your lawyers. Would someone on this list like to pick this up as an issue and work it out, perhaps document something on the wiki / website and try to build a picture that people could look at, and take some useful information away from ? -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219@icq

Missing openssl-0.9.7a-43.17.el4_7.2.i586.rpm package
by David Hrbáč 17 Feb '09

17 Feb '09

Hi, I guess there's missing package within the update repository. As we have openssl-0.9.7a-43.17.el4_6.1.i386.rpm 18-Nov-2007 21:54 1.1M openssl-0.9.7a-43.17.el4_6.1.i586.rpm 18-Nov-2007 22:59 1.1M openssl-0.9.7a-43.17.el4_6.1.i686.rpm 18-Nov-2007 22:59 1.1M in the base repo. I can see only openssl-0.9.7a-43.17.el4_7.2.i386.rpm 23-Jan-2009 22:36 1.1M openssl-0.9.7a-43.17.el4_7.2.i686.rpm 23-Jan-2009 22:36 1.1M in the update repo. Thanks, David Hrbáč

TOMOYO enabled kernels for CentOS
by Tetsuo Handa 15 Feb '09

15 Feb '09

Hello. I'm an author of TOMOYO Linux, access control extension for Linux kernel. TOMOYO Linux 2.x is now in security-testing-2.6.git tree and will be included into upstream sooner or later. http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/jmorris/security-testing-2.6.git;… I'm also maintaining RPM packages for CentOS 3.9/4.7/5.2 . I'm ready to support kernel-2.6.18-128.el5 as soon as CentOS 5.3 gets released. While http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Packages/ContributeYourRPMs says "Submit the .spec file along with a URL to the src.rpm file to CentOS-devel mailing list;", I only pasted a script which generates a spec file because the kernel's spec file is very large. -------------------- #! /bin/sh # # This is a kernel build script for CentOS 5.2's 2.6.18 kernel. # die () { echo $1 exit 1 } cd /tmp/ || die "Can't chdir to /tmp/ ." if [ ! -r kernel-2.6.18-92.1.22.el5.src.rpm ] then wget http://ftp.riken.jp/Linux/centos/5.2/updates/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.18-92.1.22.el… || die "Can't download source package." fi rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.18-92.1.22.el5.src.rpm || die "Can't install source package." cd /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/ || die "Can't chdir to /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/ ." if [ ! -r ccs-patch-1.6.6-20090202.tar.gz ] then wget http://osdn.dl.sourceforge.jp/tomoyo/30297/ccs-patch-1.6.6-20090202.tar.gz || die "Can't download patch." fi cd /tmp/ || die "Can't chdir to /tmp/ ." cp -p /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/kernel-2.6.spec . || die "Can't copy spec file." patch << "EOF" || die "Can't patch spec file." --- kernel-2.6.spec 2008-12-17 01:17:06.000000000 +0900 +++ kernel-2.6.spec 2008-12-17 14:58:33.000000000 +0900 @@ -66,7 +66,7 @@ # that the kernel isn't the stock distribution kernel, for example, # by setting the define to ".local" or ".bz123456" # -#% define buildid +%define buildid _tomoyo_1.6.6 # %define sublevel 18 %define kversion 2.6.%{sublevel} @@ -281,6 +281,9 @@ # to versions below the minimum # +# TOMOYO Linux +%define signmodules 0 + # # First the general kernel 2.6 required versions as per # Documentation/Changes @@ -306,7 +309,7 @@ # %define kernel_prereq fileutils, module-init-tools, initscripts >= 8.11.1-1, mkinitrd >= 4.2.21-1 -Name: kernel +Name: ccs-kernel Group: System Environment/Kernel License: GPLv2 URL: http://www.kernel.org/ @@ -4854,6 +4857,10 @@ # END OF PATCH APPLICATIONS +# TOMOYO Linux +tar -zxf %_sourcedir/ccs-patch-1.6.6-20090202.tar.gz +patch -sp1 < patches/ccs-patch-2.6.18-centos-5.2.diff + cp %{SOURCE10} Documentation/ mkdir configs @@ -4913,6 +4920,9 @@ for i in *.config do mv $i .config + # TOMOYO Linux + cat config.ccs >> .config + sed -i -e "s/CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=.*/# CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO is not set/" -- .config Arch=`head -1 .config | cut -b 3-` make ARCH=$Arch nonint_oldconfig > /dev/null echo "# $Arch" > configs/$i EOF mv kernel-2.6.spec ccs-kernel.spec || die "Can't rename spec file." echo "" echo "" echo "" echo "Edit /tmp/ccs-kernel.spec if needed, and run" echo "rpmbuild -bb --without kabichk /tmp/ccs-kernel.spec" echo "to build kernel rpm packages." exit 0 -------------------- I posted this message as I have several questions. (1) TOMOYO can't be built as a kernel module, and will break kabi compatibility checking. Is it possible to add "a rebuilt kernel with added drivers and filesystem support" which breaks kabi compatibility checking into CentOS repository? (2) I'm everytime manually patching .spec file and rebuilding RPM package. This causes some delays between the CentOS's kernel release and TOMOYO enabled kernel release. To be able to release updates as soon as possible, I will be happy if an automated build environment is available. Can I release updates sooner than now? (3) Whose GPG key is used for signing "modules in TOMOYO enabled kernel RPM package" and "TOMOYO enabled kernel RPM packages"? Regards.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Guys, Does anyone is already working on the Language subsites ? Is this an interest yet ?

Lang-Subsites still in womb ?
by Worsham, Michael 11 Feb '09

11 Feb '09

As per the http://wiki.centos.org/WebsiteVer2/forums in relation to Drupal, I wrote a patch that allows support of MySQL split read/write capabilities for master/slave MySQL database environments under Drupal 5.x environments, which -- from proof of concept testing -- has resulted in a 30% performance boost. -- Michael

Security update missing - kernel-2.6.18-128.el5
by Milan Keršláger 09 Feb '09

09 Feb '09

Please, do not delay this "Important" multiple security update. See https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2009-0225.html for more info. This update is "5.3" kernel but has been released as security update too. RHN pushed this kernel one day ahead of rest of 5.3 packages (on my servers). RH maintains API and ABI (!) compatibility so there is no problem to use this kernel AFAIK. So please, do not delay it anymore, this contains multiple security vulnerabilities fixed since 2009-01-20. Thank you for your effort (a lot). M.K. -- Milan Keršláger http://www.pslib.cz/ke/ http://www.nti.tul.cz/wiki/Milan.Kerslager
