possibility of an extra-hardware-support SIG
by Karanbir Singh 08 Sep '07

08 Sep '07

Hi guys, I have been thinking about starting something that brings in extra Hardware compatibility and drivers to the stock centos kernel. Perhaps doing this as a SIG might be a good idea. The aim would be ( but not limited to ): - Find and coordinate the efforts by various hardware vendors to support CentOS - Publish a comprehensive ( as much as possible ) install time DriverDisk ( both as an .img and .iso ) - Create, test and publish a mechanism to follow kernel updates ( might need someone to actually have access to some of this hardware, but it should be manageable specially if we can get the attention of hardware vendors ). - Create a feedback-loop that makes it easy for users to request drivers / functionality in the stock and plus kernels. How we deliver on this is perhaps a discussion in itself, and something we can consider when we come to it. - Bring together into 1 place all the various opensource drivers being published by Vendors ( 3ware, areca, tyan, supermicro etc ) for newer versions of their products that are not in the upstream version as yet. This might mean setting up an ftp location somewhere (?) - I would also not mind looking at the very dark grey area of providing updated drivers for some components ( like the recent bcm and marvell ethernet drivers that really do need updating in the upstream kernel ) - but this again depends on how people feel about it - in lots of cases, we might end up step into and through a redhat patch. Now, what does everyone else think ? If I start this, is it going to be only me there or is someone else going to come along for the ride as well ? -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219@icq

I'm the Fedora maintainer for both yum-presto and deltarpm, as well as being upstream for yum-presto. I would be very willing to package both yum-presto and deltarpm for CentOS, and to offer some help with buildsys integration (which would be the tricky part). Jonathan

C4 yum-priorities update
by Daniel de Kok 31 Aug '07

31 Aug '07

Hi all, A new version of the yum-priority plugin for CentOS 4 (x86/86_64) is now available through the CentOS 4 testing repository[1]. This version improves multi-arch support, so we are especially interested to hear if this works well on 86_64. x86 testing is also very much appreciated. Information on using the CentOS Testing repository can be found on the CentOS Wiki at: http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories Thanks, Daniel [1] yum-plugin-priorities-0.0.5-1.el4.centos.noarch.rpm

C5 yum-priorities update
by Daniel de Kok 31 Aug '07

31 Aug '07

Hi all, A new version of the yum-priority plugin for CentOS 5 (x86/86_64) is now available through the CentOS 5 testing repository[1]. This version fixes obsoletes handling, which was broken by a upstream multi-arch patch. We'd like to hear if this version works well, and whether obsoletes are correctly excluded. You can test this by performing the following steps: - Installing the updated plugin. - Add a repository with obsoletes (e.g. RPMFore or ATRPMS), and make sure that it has a lower priority (thus a higher priority number) than the CentOS repositories. - Make sure that /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/priorities.conf has the following line: check_obsoletes = 1 - A subsequent "yum update" should not install/updates any packages from these repositories. The results are most interesting on machines with a high number of installed packages (since that would potentially hit an obsolete earlier). There should be no regressions in normal plugin behavior aw well. Information on using the CentOS Testing repository can be found on the CentOS Wiki at: http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories Thanks, Daniel [1] yum-priorities-1.0.4-7.el5.centos.noarch.rpm

Using CentOS trademarks/artwork etc.
by Axel Thimm 23 Aug '07

23 Aug '07

Hi, mythdora is a project that uses Fedora + some ATrpms packages to create a mythtv livecd/dvd. For quite some time I wanted to see it get a cousin based on CentOS5. The packages are already available, it "only" takes some glue. What are the rules to play with regarding CentOS trademarks/artwork? Is it OK to use them, perhaps even derive some artwork out of it (a television like CentOS logo? :) Would names like mythcentos or similar be OK with CentOS? Not that it matters in this context, but who owns CentOS trademarks and artwork? I hope someone does at least in the US to prevent any abuse. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net

CentOS 5 Live CD
by Patrice Guay 23 Aug '07

23 Aug '07

I am currently building a Live CD for CentOS 5. I am using the livecd-creator script from the livecd-tools project [1]. Here is my setup: - A workstation with CentOS 5 i386 - dosfstools 2.11-8 [2] - livecd-tools 009-11 [2] - pykickstart 1.0-1 [2] To create a live CD, you need a kickstart configuration file[3]. You also need to increase the maximum number of open files: # ulimit -n 65535 Then, you can start the creation process (~30 minutes): # livecd-creator --config=centos-livecd-desktop.ks The resulting iso image (644MB) can be transfered to an USB key... # livecd-iso-to-disk <isopath> <usbstick device> ... or simply burned to a CD or DVD. The live CD has a writable /usr directory. However, it can not be used to install CentOS 5 on your system. A new anaconda package will be required to achieve this functionality. [1] http://git.fedoraproject.org/?p=hosted/livecd [2] These packages are available at http://www.nanotechnologies.qc.ca/propos/linux/centos-live/i386/live [3] http://www.nanotechnologies.qc.ca/propos/linux/centos-live/i386/live/centos… -- Patrice Guay
