Google's SoC 2009
by Karanbir Singh 22 Jan '09

22 Jan '09

hi, Is there anyone who would like to take ownership of a CentOS effort into GSoC ? Its something we have often thought about ( I have anyway ), but time restrictions have meant that nothing has happened on this front in many years. Here is what I am expecting : - Someone who can research and work out whats involved, document it somewhere ( wiki perhaps ? ) - Lead the CentOS pitch to google, hopefully pushing through to us getting accepted into the scheme. If that happens then : - Organise wish lists, prioritise what projects we are looking at - Organise the 'student' pool - Organise the 'mentor' pool - Be *the* GSoC-CentOS person. No idea how much time this is going to take, but it should be safe to assume its going to be a few hours/week commitment. And its going to be over a significant portion of the year. Anyone ? * I dont mind if more than 1 person wants to take this on as a team. -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219@icq

Help offer on Sparc front
by Hugo van der Kooij 09 Jan '09

09 Jan '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have just received a SunBlade150 which I would like to put to good use. I understand there is a Centos port underway for the Sparc line. If it is possible to trash the harddisk and fill it with the bare stuff to make it work I am willing to lend access to the system for developers and also do some things myself. I am not a programmer but I can spot the incidental error and maybe fix a typo or at least do my best to provide serious feedback in attempts to capture, reproduce and solve issues. If there is a basic kit somewhere to turn the former Solaris machine and set it on the road to Centos 5 I am willing to add my weight and push the cart along.

presto / deltarpm
by Karanbir Singh 05 Jan '09

05 Jan '09

hi, The idea of yum-presto and deltarpm support on mirror.centos.org is something that seems to be worth visiting again. I am just wondering if there is anyone who would like to grab the issue, do the testing, workout whats involved and then try and come up with an implementation plan ? Would be good if you already knew how yum and repomd type repositories worked. Anyone interested and have the time ? -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219@icq

Surplus SUN Ultra-10 hardware

30 Dec '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, It seems we have two surplus SUN Ultra-10 machines available. So if there are developers who are willing to pick up q machine at my home (Maasland, NL) let me know and I will inform you as soon as I have the hardware available. If you have no use for them but happen to know some Open source project that might benefit from them feel free to contact me.

kmod packaging guideline
by Farkas Levente 26 Dec '08

26 Dec '08

hi, it'd be nice to write some kind of docs about how to write kmod packages for centos. as i wrote in one of my earlier post there are two problems currently with the weak-updates kmods: kmodtool shouldn't have to add to all packages rather use the /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/kmodtool from redhat-rpm-config ie: ---------------------------------------------- @@ -1,7 +1,6 @@ -Source10: kmodtool Source11: find-requires Source12: find-requires.ksyms -%define kmodtool bash %{SOURCE10} +%define kmodtool bash /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/kmodtool ---------------------------------------------- and add: BuildRequires: redhat-rpm-config the other problem is the these new kmod gives warning during install. ie if someone create a kickstart file which contains these kmods then anaconda warning about it: "Bad kmod package 'kmod-....' does not require a kernel" the reason for this is /usr/lib/anaconda/fedorakmod.py which has a check in resolveVersions. so hack the current find-requires.ksym to also requires at least kernel-%{arch} would be useful. at the same time write a newer short howto write kmods for centos-5. just my 2c. yours. -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!"
