Proper way to package Perl modules
by Kenneth Porter 15 Jun '07

15 Jun '07

What's the expected way to package a Perl module? I want to build RPM's for several Perl modules and in the past on Fedora I'd use cpanflute2. What do I use on CentOS5? Is there a package to install to provide the necessary utility? I want to repackage the dependencies for MIMEDefang: perl(MIME::Parser) is needed by mimedefang-2.62-1.i386 perl(MIME::Tools) >= 5.410 is needed by mimedefang-2.62-1.i386 perl(MIME::Words) is needed by mimedefang-2.62-1.i386 perl-IO-stringy is needed by mimedefang-2.62-1.i386 perl-MIME-tools is needed by mimedefang-2.62-1.i386 perl-MailTools is needed by mimedefang-2.62-1.i386

Type conversion in some yum utils
by Daniel de Kok 14 Jun '07

14 Jun '07

Hi Johnny, [Taking this to a public list.] Could you apply the attached patch (per Matt Hyclak) to yum-utils for CentOS 4? This is necessary to have reposync and a couple of other utilities working well with yum 2.4 + yum-metadata-parser.

Live CD for CentOS 5
by Patrice Guay 10 Jun '07

10 Jun '07

I am currently building a Live CD for CentOS 5. I am using the tools from the livecd-tools project [1]. Here is my setup: - A workstation with CentOS 5 i386 - dosfstools 2.11-8 [2] - livecd-tools 009-3 [2] - pykickstart 1.0-1 [2] - syslinux 3.36-2 [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 For more information regarding livecd-creator, you can read the Fedora How-to: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD/LiveCDHowTo I am still trying to find the optimal combination of software for the live CD. Any help would be appreciated. [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

yum-repolist
by Daniel de Kok 09 Jun '07

09 Jun '07

Hi all, We have added an updated yum-utils to the CentOS testing repository for CentOS 5. This package now provides the yum-repolist plugin/subpackage, which implements comparable functionality to the same command in yum 3.2. Additionally, it also shows the priority or protection status of a repository when the yum-priorities or yum-protectbase plugin are installed respectively. A sample run: --- $ yum repolist Loading "repolist" plugin Loading "priorities" plugin Loading "installonlyn" plugin Loading "fastestmirror" plugin repo id repo name status priority ======= ========= ====== ======== base CentOS-5 - Base enabled 1 updates CentOS-5 - Updates enabled 1 extras CentOS-5 - Extras enabled 1 rpmforge Red Hat Enterprise 5 - RPMforge.net enabled 99 danieldk Daniel's testing packages enabled 99 c5-media CentOS-5 - Media disabled 99 contrib CentOS-5 - Contrib disabled 99 centosplus CentOS-5 - Plus disabled 99 addons CentOS-5 - Addons enabled 99 --- Please test this plugin, and provide feedback. We are interested whether it works well with protectbase, priorities, or none of both. Information on using the CentOS Testing repository can be found on the CentOS Wiki at: http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories -- Daniel

XEN SIG
by Jordi Espasa Clofent 09 Jun '07

09 Jun '07

Hi all, According to http://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup I launch my request about XEN SIG . I think it would be interesting because XEN related topics in mail-list are usual at present day (especially since CentOS 5 with XEN support was released out). All of us are aware about the future of SO is the virtualization and it means XEN projecte will be more important. I work as a junior sysadmin in little reseller hosting company in Barcelona (Spain). We're planning to build our own datacenter (it will be little, of course) and the services will be based on CentOS+XEN. So I think I can contribute and also approach about a lot of questions. ¿What do you think about? -- Thanks, Jordi Espasa Clofent

SRPMS for CentOS4

I use up2date in preference to yum simply because it automates the process of getting matching source.

RE: [CentOS] 4.5 ALB Bonding Hang on Shutdown [Bug]
by Ross S. W. Walker 31 May '07

> -----Original Message----- > From: centos-bounces(a)centos.org > [mailto:centos-bounces@centos.org] On Behalf Of Ross S. W.

I think I found the answer. The new version of bonding has a bug in it that doesn't restore the original mac addresses on termination and will leave the mac address on the interface it was last on. Then, as ifdown is called on each slave it will hit a slave whose mac address has changed and is a dup of the other slave and it will hang there. For some reason though if I set a programmable mac address not equal to any installed on the system on the bondX interfaces it complains the mac has changed, but it doesn't hang, so that is my interim work-around, set a unique MACADDR= on each bondX interface. -Ross ______________________________________________________________________ This e-mail, and any attachments thereto, is intended only for use by the addressee(s) named herein and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.

dkms issue
by Akemi Yagi 28 May '07

28 May '07

Hi Daniel, We talk about dkms a couple of days ago. Then I saw this post on the dkms-devel mailing list: http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/dkms-devel/2007-May/000562.html I don't pretend to understand the issue discussed in there, but is this something you might need to consider? Or this is not relevant? Akemi
