CentOS Xen kernels
by Luke Crawford 15 Nov '06

15 Nov '06

Is anyone working on porting the xensource-provided RHEL3 and RHEL4 Xen kernels to centOS? I've been poking the xensource-provided kernels, and they seem to work okay (though only on i686 platforms- I haven't gotten 'em to compile on x86_64) on my client's RHEL systems. I host a bunch of CentOS Xen DomUs, so it would be really cool if I could re-use the "poke at the RHEL kernels" work for those CentOS domains as well- but from what I understand, I'm not supposed to just re-distribute the RHEL stuff without stripping out some stuff.

php-pear from dev.centos.org repo
by Ryan Courtnage 10 Nov '06

10 Nov '06

Hello, I'm attempting to update the PHP packages on my CentOS 4.4 server (x86_64). I'm currently running PHP 5.0.x from the "centosplus" repo. The goal is to run PHP 5.1.x, which is in the "testing" (dev.centos.org) repository. However, I'm finding that attempts to "yum update php\*" results in a php-pear dependency error: ---snip--- Error: Missing Dependency: php = 5.0.4-5.centos4 is needed by package php-pear ---snip--- I've tried to sidestep the issue by removing the currently installed php* packages, and then installing the stuff from dev.centos.org. Doing this, I find that php-pear-1.4.9-1.centos.noarch.rpm doesn't install the PEAR DB module (DB.php), which my applications require. Has anyone else seen this? What am I doing wrong? Thanks Ryan

I have followed README instructions, including compile unionfs againts current kernel (kernel-2.6.9-42.livecd.c4) and able to modprobe unionfs mannually. The instructions seems different from the original linux-live script README: 1. it compile squashfs int kernel, while LL-script expect to find squashfs.ko (however from the boot msg, it seems able to load squashfs, no error) 2. it ask for different kernel version (ie `uname -r`_i686) 3. modify the existing linux isntallation (or do i ned to chroot before running build-livecd.sh -sl ?) Many thanks. --beast

kernel-*-devel and yum updates for CentOS-4.x
by Johnny Hughes 28 Oct '06

28 Oct '06

Yum does not install kernel-smp-devel (or kernel-hugemem-devel, kernel- largesmp-devel), but it upgrades them. Yum does install kernel-devel, and it does not upgrade it. Yum should be consistent in how kernel-devel files are handled. ----------------------------------------------- This issue is addressed in this CentOS bug: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1549 and in this upstream bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=155988 The upstream fix is rolled into FC >= 4 and RHEL >= 5 ... but it is not rolled into RHEL <= 4. That leaves CentOS-4 with this bug. ----------------------------------- There are 3 options here: 1. Patch CentOS-4 yum to make yum install all kernel-*-devel files like it does for kernel-devel (or the reverse ... make kernel-devel and upgrade like the other files). 2. Modify the kernel-2.6.spec to do what FC >= 4 does. 3. Do nothing and tell people to choose what they want by updating this variable in /etc/yum.conf installonlyn= ------------------------------------ I think that 2 is a bad choice as it makes the CentOS kernel deviate from the upstream kernel. I think that 3 is a better choice than 2 ... but I think 1 is the optimal choice. That yum needs to be updated to treat kernel-*-devel files like it treats kernel-devel. What does everyone else think? ----------------------------------- Note: This is my attempt to solicit input for package changes from the public and not make unilateral decisions and push them with only the developers present. If there is no discussion of this item on this list by non-centos developers, then I will revert back to making bug changes based on only what the developers think :P Therefore, the people who want input into how packages are updated need to speak up. ------------------------------------ Thanks, Johnny Hughes

Re: [CentOS-devel] Metalinks for CentOS (all mirrors & checksums in one file)
by Anthony L. Bryan 24 Oct '06

24 Oct '06

I made a mockup of how you could use metalinks for ISO downloads: http://www.metalinker.org/centos/ I made them all with metalink tools (http://prog.infosnel.nl/metalinks/) but only linked in the ones for 4.4. Someone who is more aesthetically inclined could design the page nicer. I like it because you've got single links that can use all the mirrors and automatic checksum verification, and you see which archs are updated for the current release. People can choose to download the old way, from one server and verify the checksums manually if they want to. (( Anthony Bryan )) Metalink [ http://www.metalinker.org ]

testing / qa process
by Karanbir Singh 20 Oct '06

20 Oct '06

Dear centos-devel'ers, We have a problem that needs fixing. The strategy to release testable rpms to dev.centos.org, then request feedback and move the rpms to stable, when we have enough positive - isnt working. We're not getting that feedback, either positive or negative. End result is that we have packages going stale and now some of those packages need updates in themselves. Looking at the logs, I can assure you that people are using those packages, just not telling us anything about them. There is one chain of though, that such request based qa process's dont work and have been tried by other Open Source projects before and not really had much of a success rate. Now, there are a few options and alternative process's that I've been thinking about, but rather than throw that out here, I'd really like to see what everyone on this list thinks and what options / process's / workaround's we might be able to come up with here. So the issue : The CentOS Project provides packages in addition to the packages from RH's sources. We need to ensure that these packages are tested in a user environment for a while, and only released to the public via the mirror.centos.org network once there is some reasonable surety as to the functional and bugs situation with the package. ideas / comments / noise welcome.. -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219@icq
