what's up with iproute-2.6.9-3.EL4.3.centos4?
by Matthew Miller 22 Sep '06

22 Sep '06

There is an update to iproute, 2.6.9-3.EL4.3.centos4, in the i386 updates area, but not in x86_64. The changelog contains the terse comment "fix for CentOS bug #1476", which is here: <http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1476>. Unfortunately, that doesn't indicate exactly what the issue was, or mention anything about being i386-only. Can someone shed some light on this? Thanks! -- Matthew Miller mattdm(a)mattdm.org <http://mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/>

Metalinks for CentOS (all mirrors & checksums in one file)
by Anthony L. Bryan 17 Sep '06

17 Sep '06

Hi, Just another ping to see if CentOS is still interested in using metalink. It's especially useful for large files such as .ISOs. OpenOffice.org (http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/magnet.html) and 7 Linux/BSD distributions are using it to distribute their ISOs and other software updates. kernel.org will be using it soon as well. They can be automatically generated with software from your Romanian mirror at http://metalink.packages.ro/ aria2 RPMs for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4: http://dries.ulyssis.org/rpm/packages/aria2/info.html There's a metalink for CentOS at http://www.metalinker.org/samples/CentOS-4.4-i386-LiveCD.iso.metalink if anyone wants to try it out. Here's some more information on Metalink: 'Metalinks makes complex download pages obsolete by replacing long lists of download mirrors and BitTorrent trackers with a single .metalink file. As you might have already guessed, a .metalink file is a file that tells a download manager all the different ways it can download a file. The file itself takes the form of an open XML standard that can list an unlimited number of HTTP and FTP sources as well as BitTorrent trackers and ed2k and magnet links.' (http://www.downloadsquad.com/2006/08/28/metalinks-integrated-bittorrent-htt p-and-ftp-downloads/) (( Anthony Bryan )) Metalink [ http://www.metalinker.org ]

Small typo: Let me know if this post is inappropriate for this list.

Figuring that most users don't read manual pages anyway, my guess was that most General List users would find this an irritation. Thought I would stick it here. If you don't want this sort of feedback, or it doesn't belong on this list, just tell me.

Idea for single CD install
by Shriramana Sharma 16 Sep '06

16 Sep '06

I tried the 4.4 LiveCD and find it has a very good selection from both GNOME and KDE. I request that a single installer CD (as opposed to the full 4 CD set or 1 DVD) be provided for installing the same contents to the hard disk, just like a regular install. Maybe you can do the installer on the same live CD, like the Kubuntu Desktop CD. Single CD installs will go a long way to popularize CentOS, IMHO. P.S: Seeing as this Live CD is based on the linux-live scripts, and SLAX which uses the same linux-live scripts can be just copied to HDD and run from there, is it also possible to do the same with CentOS? P.P.S: I will be travelling a week starting today so I may not reply quickly. -- Shriramana Sharma Linux user #395953 using Kubuntu 6.06.1

Re: CentOS-4.4 yumconf
by Roland Alder 12 Sep '06

12 Sep '06

Some days ago, there was the discussion about the new centos-release package with merged in yum (and other) configuration files instead of separate yumconf as until 4.3. I today tried using %trigger sections in the own package. After some testing I can say it looks good and seem to work fine (at least here). The trigger basically just moves the repo files known to be installed by centos-yumconf (and only those, so it has still to be adapted if CentOS e.g. adds more .repo files) to a different filename not used by yum. On removal of the own yumconf package, that backed up files are moved back to it's original name. The whole thing even seem to work over updates/removals/installs of both. Maybe that's also useful for others having that problem, but of course needs some adaption.

Broken gtk+ package
by Chuck Berg 11 Sep '06

11 Sep '06

I was just going to enter this in the bugs database, but creation of new accounts is apparently broken. (When I try to set the initial password after following the link in the confirmation email, "This account is protected. You are not allowed to access this until the account protection is lifted.") I have an x86_64 system, on which I must install the gtk+.i386 package. To begin with, only the x86_64 package is installed: # cat /etc/rpm/macros.query_format %_query_all_fmt %%{name}-%%{version}-%%{release}.%%{arch} # rpm -q gtk+ gtk+-1.2.10-33.centos4.x86_64 When I try to install the i386 version, I get this error: With yum: # yum -y install gtk+.i386 [...] Transaction Check Error: package gtk+-1.2.10-33.centos4 (which is newer than gtk+-1.2.10-33) is already installed With straight rpm -i: # rpm -i http://mirror.stanford.edu/yum/pub/centos/4.4/os/x86_64/CentOS/RPMS/gtk+-1.… package gtk+-1.2.10-33.centos4 (which is newer than gtk+-1.2.10-33) is already installed This problem only exists with the CentOS gtk+.x86_64 package, the RedHat one is fine. rpm -i --force works, and that is the workaround I'm using.
