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

Updated ruby packages
by Jim Perrin 22 Nov '06

22 Nov '06

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

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
