I've personally never heard about this before, but it sounds interesting. The first question that comes to mind is - how many user end download clients support this format ? And, if we are to publish these, we'd need some means to generate them automatically, perhaps a hook into the mirror-monitor scripts. But thats a future issue. I am cross posting this to the CentOS-Devel list, so that more people might be able to get involved in the conversation. I suggest you subscribe to that list ( http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-devel ) -- Karanbir Singh {kbsingh(a)centos.org} The CentOS Project, http://www.centos.org/

Modifying Anaconda install messages
by I-Newell, Geoff 30 Aug '06

30 Aug '06

Hi, As required by the Red Hat EULA (see below), I am in the process of removing all Red Hat trademarks. One persistent item in Anaconda is proving difficult to remove. I was hoping someone on this list may have an idea. When Anaconda starts the graphical install of the OS, in the left most Window, the following text is displayed: Installing Packages ----------------------------- We have gathered all the information needed to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES on the system. It may take a while to install everything, depending on how many packages need to be installed." My question is: How do I remove the text "Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES" from the above text message. I've noticed the Centos guys have managed to get "Centos" in. How? I have searched through the Anaconda SRC RPMs and have found the following files: anaconda-help/help/*.po which contain: "We have gathered all the information needed to install &RHL; on the system. " Somewhere &RHL is expanded to the "Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES". How do I institute this change and then get it into my distribution via "buildinstall"? Many thanks, Geoff P.S. RedHat has asked us to remove all redhat trademarks due to our intended use of the SRC RPMs in our turnkey embedded platform.

sun java rpms in on dev.centos.org
by Greg Swallow - SkyNet 14 Aug '06

14 Aug '06

I just noticed them here (http://dev.centos.org/centos/4/testing/i386/RPMS/) and looked back and didn't see any note of them on this list. I see they are licensed "DLJ 1.1" - this I guess - http://download.java.net/dlj/DLJ-v1.1.txt - which surprisingly looks like they're legal to distribute (with an operating system). Is that correct? What does CentOS plan to do with the rpms? Can someone give some information on what stage of testing they're at and anything else to know about them please. Thanks, Greg
