CentOS on the Asus Eeepc ...
by Fabian Arrotin 09 Sep '08

09 Sep '08

We talked earlier on IRC about the Asus Eeepc I think the idea was to start a wiki page with at least informations regarding the Eeepc. So here it is : http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Laptops/Asus/Eeepc (not linked from the CentOS on Laptops wiki page yet though , still a draft ;-) ) I had to modify the installer initrd.img to include the atl2.ko module for the wired nic to install from my local mirror .. where do i store it ? on the wiki page itself, as an attachment ? a simple link to a tmp space on my website ? I'm now wondering what's the best way to include the atl2.ko module during setup : a rpm that will be fetched from centos extras (?) or a simple driverdisk ? Ideas & comments welcome ... -- - Fabian Arrotin <fabian.arrotin(a)arrfab.net> "Internet network currently down, TCP/IP packets delivered now by UPS/Fedex ..."

Missing header files from xulrunner-devel sdk package, bugs?
by hce 09 Sep '08

09 Sep '08

Hi, I've just installed xulrunner-devel from yum: # yum install xulrunner-devel The xulrunner-sdk-1.9 was installed, but there are following header files cannot be found in xulrunner-sdk-1.9/sdk/include: mozilla-config.h mozilla-config32.h prtypes.h The include/xulrunner-sdk-1.9 does constain mozilla-config.h and mozilla-config32.h, I fixed it by linking those two files in xulrunner-sdk-1.9/sdk/includ. The prtypes.h can only be found in following places: /usr/include/nspr4/prtypes.h /usr/include/xulrunner-sdk-1.9/system_wrappers/prtypes.h /usr/include/xulrunner-sdk-1.9/stable/prtypes.h I've tried to link either of the prtypes.h in xulrunner-sdk-1.9/sdk/include, but none of them works. At final, I failed to build VLC mozilla plugin linking to xulrunner-sdk-1.9/sdk. Am I missing something here, is there a correct xulrunner-devel sdk package I can download from? Or is it a bug in xulrunner-devel sdk package? Please advise how can I fix this problem? Thank you. Kind regards, Jim

slow Perl on CentOS 5

Does someone want to get in touch with Keith and get a summary on what needs fixing in this case ? Also - if the conversation was to take place on centos-devel list, would be much cooler. Upstream have said the fix will be in 5U3, and considering that might be still a few months away, could we get something sorted before then ?

The following packages are now available in the CentOS-5-Testing repository : yum-3.2.17-0_beta_18_2.el5.centos yum-utils-1.1.14-0_beta_15_2.el5.centos python-urlgrabber-3.1.0-4.el5.centos Notes: - Not all the CentOS Specific patches are rolled into these packages, and as I push them in, the packages will get updated. So yum update often! - yum-utils does not have all plugins enabled as yet either, that will be done with the next build ( this Sunday 17th ). Please leave feedback, either here on this list, or at http://bugs.centos.org/ mark the bugs against project: CentOS-5 component: yum We are specially interested in hearing feedback from people who had/run into issues with the move from yum-3.0 to yum 3.2 with the CentOs-5.2 release. - KB

alternative home for perl-bz379791
by Karanbir Singh 03 Sep '08

03 Sep '08

Would people.centos.org/ home for perl work for everyone ? That way my main issue of not inflicting the entire testing or plus, onto unsuspecting users, is also met; and there is a semi-permanent place we can document the issue at ? -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219@icq

Smal bug in yum 3.2.17-0_beta_18_2
by Heiko Adams 02 Sep '08

02 Sep '08

Hello, I've installed yum.noarch.3.2.17-0_beta_18_2.el5 from the testing repository and found a small bug: If the yum-skip-broken plugin is installed yum doesn't work anymore after the update because the plugins functionality has been integrated into yum. The only way to make you work again is to remove the plugin. But this should IMHO also be done by the rpm on update. -- Heiko Adams <heiko.adams(a)gmx.de>

language specific community subsites
by Karanbir Singh 02 Sep '08

02 Sep '08

Hi, Different people seem to have a different take on what the whole point and aim of the regional / local communities is. I am laying out here what we started with for fr.centos.org and what we hope to use for : ja.centos.org de.centos.org es.centos.org cn.centos.org ----- The first thing really is that these are not regional subsites, they are language based. Which is why its JA.centos.org and not JP.centos.org - if there are other such situations, we would go with the language iso code. Moving onto the point of this whole exercise. Well the point is to give people who speak and communicate in a specific language a focused CentOS centric starting point and a web forum[1] that they can use. And pointers on where to go for help, documentations, details on the project etc. And this should help provide a means for language teams and translation groups to communicate easier. Apart from the starting page and forums there will be no other content hosted in the language subsites. All the content would be hosted alongside the regular english content. eg. the way our wiki is setup right now, and how different language translations are handled there. I know that fr.centos.org was only a pilot and one issue that lots of people pointed out was that it does not look like the other CentOS.org websites. Thats a point taken on board, and none of the other subsites are coming up till the ArtWork guys have a look and feel sorted for the fr.centos.org site. Those guys already have this in their ToDo list. Now, if you are interested in helping with any of these language lists, please reply to this thread here in the mailing list and let us know. - KB [1]: this would / should / could really compliment the language specific mailing lists we have already got in place, perhaps a forum software that can gateway between the two would be nice. -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219@icq

still trying to build upstream srpms
by Joe Pruett 01 Sep '08

01 Sep '08

i have been looking around and i can't see a way to figure out what --define options might be used for rpmbuild by rh. i want to build the rhwas 5 non-java srpms but there is lots of ifdef magic in the spec that could be important to building. so in general, how do we know how the upstream builds things? are there logs somewhere on ftp.redhat.com to look at? or do we have moles that tell us? i'm not even thinking about mock type stuff right now, just trying to figure out the actual rpmbuild command line to use. any clues out there? i've heard that 4.7 is brewing right now, so i understand that the people in the know may be off waving wands over the build gnomes and not paying much attention here...
