Updated package for squid (CentOS 4.4)
by Ralph Angenendt 28 Nov '06

28 Nov '06

There's an updated package for squid in the development repository at <http://dev.centos.org/>. This fixes the problem with squid only having 1024 file descriptors available. The patch was "forwardported" from the squid package in CentOS 3.8. You get a new configuration variable in squid.conf with which you can control the number of file descriptors available for squid: # TAG: max_filedesc # The maximum number of open file descriptors. # #Default: # max_filedesc 1024 This package works here under a comparatively low load. So please test this package if you need more than 1024 file descriptors and report any issues or success with this package either here or at <http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1603>. The package is at <http://dev.centos.org/centos/4/testing/i386/RPMS/squid-2.5.STABLE6-3.4E.13.…> for i386 and <http://dev.centos.org/centos/4/testing/x86_64/RPMS/squid-2.5.STABLE6-3.4E.1…> for x86_64.

php 5 and MSSQL
by Kevan Benson 28 Nov '06

28 Nov '06

Is there any interest in adding MSSQL to php 5? It's fairly easy to modify the spec to produce this (I've done so in a previos version already), and I'll volunteer to make the changes if there's consensus it's worth doing. FreeTDS is required to build mssql support, and it's currently provided through rpmforge. I assume everyone would prefer to have the required library exist within centosplus so php-mssql could be installed without requiring a library from an external repo? So, what are your thoughts on this? I know I keep getting asked for it, so I assume there's at least some demand. -- - Kevan Benson - A-1 Networks

vpopmail-mysql package

Hello, I am taking a shot at vpopmail with mysql support for centos in a environment where qmail will not be used as the receiving mta. First will be a vpopmail package setup for mysql support only. Attached is the spec file.

New versions of Apt and Synaptic in the CentOS-Testing repository
by Johnny Hughes 22 Nov '06

22 Nov '06

We have had some issues with the apt that is currently in the Extras repository properly resolving some dependencies in CentOS. http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1416 http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1502 There are new apt and synaptic packages currently in the CentOS-Testing repository that correct these problems. The new version of apt also can use repomd repositories ... and the next version of CentOS-Release will contain a sources.list file that uses repomd and not rpm type repos for apt. The new RPMS are: apt-0.5.15lorg3.2-1.c4.i386.rpm apt-devel-0.5.15lorg3.2-1.c4.i386.rpm synaptic-0.57.2-3.c4.i386.rpm Available here: http://dev.centos.org/centos/4/testing/i386/RPMS/ Thanks, Johnny Hughes #--------------------- # Example repomd repos for apt # URL: http://www.centos.org ### CentOS-4 APT repositories repomd http://mirror.centos.org centos/4/os/i386 repomd http://mirror.centos.org centos/4/addons/i386 repomd http://mirror.centos.org centos/4/extras/i386 repomd http://mirror.centos.org centos/4/updates/i386 repomd http://mirror.centos.org centos/4/fasttrack/i386 #repomd http://mirror.centos.org centos/4/centosplus/i386 #repomd http://mirror.centos.org centos/4/contrib/i386 #repomd http://mirror.centos.org centos/4/csgfs/i386

We handled this in CentOS-3 and CentOS-4 by just releasing the AS package set and it contains all the other subsets. It is slightly different now, however, as there are separate yum repositories (and directories) for Server, Client, VM, Cluster*, etc. on the EL5 Beta2 CDs (much like CentOS has extras, centosplus, etc. :P). In a yum tree on the server this is not too hard, links can be created to connect the packages that are the same and all can co-exist in one tree. (that might also work OK for the Binary DVD too ... we might be able to fit all the packages on the DVD in separate repos/dirs and keep it under 4.3gb) As far as I know, ln -s or hardlinks will not translate to size savings (or even work) on an iso9660 CD ... therefore it seems that we may have to either: 1. Combine all the packages into a single repository (CentOS or Release or Server, etc.) This is similar to what we currently do on 3 and 4 now, with all the AS packages included. or 2. Release a CD set with Server and Client (and all the other repos on it ... showing everything) ... no idea how much space that takes yet or if it is doable. I would think (if we can't use links) that this set would be 6-9 discs in size. or 3. Release a Client and Server CD, and a Client and Server DVD ... but put everything in one yum tree with a Client and Server and all the other dirs/repos under that tree. (I would imagine that each set would be 4-5 discs in size) I think 3 is the way that makes the most sense ... it also requires the most disk space and bandwidth ... and requires the most maintenance. Option 1 is less disk space, in keeping with what we currently do, BUT creates an install that is not much like upstream. Once installed, either of these methods becomes the same as all yum repos should be enabled by default, unless we have a centOS-release- client and centOS-release-server ... so that if you install client, you get only client repos by default and for server, only server repos by default .... and you could enable the others too manually on each if you want. The developers need to play with all these ideas and test several things before we can even smartly discuss these options. Once we have a better idea what this entails, we can discuss it further. I'm sure Oracle is waiting on our decision, so we should make it soon :P Thanks, Johnny Hughes

There are updated ruby packages in the development repository at dev.centos.org. The updated packages bring ruby to 1.8.5. Additional packages are now available for ruby-mysql and ruby-postgresql also. These packages are the gem files providing mysql.so and the like. Please provide feedback for these packages. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act. George Orwell

php 5.2 vs php 5.0.4 in CentOS 4.4 Contrib repo
by Vikas 20 Nov '06

20 Nov '06

I needed php 5 or greater on my centos server. I enabled CentOSPlus by editing /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo (Based on http://www.jimohalloran.com/2005/08/30/php-5-for-centos-41/) But I got php 5.0.4, on running my application I am facing some bugs. A lot of bugs have been fixed http://www.php.net/ChangeLog-5.php after the release of 5.0.4 close to an year ago. Is there any reason why we do not have php 5.2 in the CentOSPlus repo ? I would be willing to work to put php5.2 in the CentOSPlus repo, any pointers on what I should do ? Thanks for your help. -- Vikas

RPMS and REPOS and REPO-Linkages
by Karanbir Singh 20 Nov '06

20 Nov '06

When an rpm is built for CentOS-Extras or CentOS-Plus, is it safe to assume that people using these repo's only use them for specific rpms ( eg, someone with a stock CentOS install might use the CentOS-Plus repo for php-5 and only php-5 ) or are most people enabling the entire repo ? This question comes from the idea of when building a package, should a rpm, hosted in CentOS-Plus link against only [base]+[updates] and only use the minimum possible set of packages from [centosplus] ? So as to have a situation wherein you can use selective packages from CentOS-Plus, while not needing any support stuff from there ( eg. postfix-mysql in CentOS-Plus should link against mysql-4.1 since thats whats in [base] rather than mysql-5 which is in CentOS Plus ) This does create a risk that we might end up creating packages that are themselves incompatible with other packages from the same repository, but work fine when used with the [base] packages for the same functionality. The other option is to have the entire CentOS-Plus repo enabled for any packages built for the same repo, which might mean that using php-5 from CentOS-Plus needs MySQL-5 and pgsql-8 from CentOS Plus also installed.

FYI... https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=189195 The maintainer would probably appreciate some review by people using/developing the CentOS horde rpms. Greg
