php 5.1.2 on CentOS4?
by Greg Swallow - SkyNet 22 Mar '06

22 Mar '06

Anyone have any good/bad experiences with this? The rpm from Fedora Rawhide will build on CentOS4 if you remove the "-Wno-pointer-sign" option from the CFLAGS line in the spec file (http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=36419&edit=1) but I haven't done anything other than build it. I'm guessing there is probably some good reason php 5.0.x is in centosplus and not php 5.1? Maybe a candidate for the repository on dev.centos.org though? Greg

CentOS art
by Sherman Boyd 15 Mar '06

15 Mar '06

Does anyone have any requests for CentOS art for the upcoming release? I don't have too much time, but I'd like to do something. So if there are any art/logo assets that desperately need improvement, let me know. -- Best regards, Sherman Boyd

Re: New XFS code for the CentOS-4 Kernel from SGI
by Bill Hoover 15 Mar '06

15 Mar '06

Sorry I don't have the original message, so this won't thread correctly...anyway, I was wondering if anyone has tried this, or if the status has changed at all. I have a project where I might need to set up an XFS filesystem on a Centos 4.2/4.3 system, and I was wondering if anyone had any positive (or negative) experience with this.

New mirrorlist update system for CentOS
by Johnny Hughes 12 Feb '06

12 Feb '06

We have finished setting up, and now are putting into testing, a new update system. Lance Davis did much hard work getting this ready, and the rest of the team did a lot of work in testing it ... thanks to everyone involved. This system is unlike any other I have seen, in that it polls external mirrors and only assigns mirrors that have been verified in the latest pass. It also assigns mirrors using Geo-IP and the IP address of the connecting client, so you should only get verified and geographically close mirrors. This also allows for 10 mirrors for each repo, which means that you should have failover capability (something else the old rrdns system lacked). Also released is the fastestmirror yum plugin with proxy server detection (thanks to Karanbir Singh for proxy server detection patch). The fastestserver and protectbase yum plugins have been removed from the yum-utils package so that either of them can be installed separately. Rounding out the list is a new yum version that is an upgrade from the upstream provider. This should greatly increase the reliability of CentOS upgrades, especially during point releases, where we had a major issue for days last cycle. Here are the new RPMs in testing: centos-yumconf-4-4.4.noarch.rpm yum-2.4.2-1.centos4.noarch.rpm yum-plugin-fastestmirror-0.2.4-2.c4.noarch.rpm yum-plugin-protectbase-1.1-1.c4.noarch.rpm yum-updateonboot-0.5-1.c4.noarch.rpm yum-utils-0.5-1.c4.noarch.rpm You can install only the RPMS to test new system by using the command: yum --enable c4-testing install centos-yumconf yum yum-plugin-fastestmirror (fastest mirror is optional ... but will increase your performance) If you don't have the testing repository installed, you can get the .repo file from http://dev.centos.org/centos/4/CentOS-Testing.repo and put it in /etc/yum.repo.d/ There is a tracker setup here for reporting feedback. Please provide both positive and negative install info, as we need positive reports to move items from testing to stable: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1211 ------------------------- Notes: 1. Please read the README.centos concerning plugin setup if you install any plugins (in /usr/share/doc/#NAME_OF_PLUGIN#, specifically you have to add the following to /etc/yum.conf to make yum plugins work: plugins=1 2. If you have modified your /etc/yum.repo.d/CentOS-Base.repo file, you will get a new file called: CentOS-Base.repo.rpmnew In order to use the new system, you need to replace CentOS-Base.repo with CentOS-Base.repo.rpmnew Thanks, Johnny Hughes

Building a custom 2.6.9 kernel
by William L. Thomson Jr. 04 Feb '06

04 Feb '06

Greetings all, A little upset because of some very rude people in IRC, on freenode.net. That accused me of trolling and made it so I can't say anything in the channel. More on that later. Here is the deal, I am in the process of installing Gentoo on a AMD64 server. I messed up and bought the wrong SATAII Raid card, Adaptec 142SA. Which only has binary drivers for RH, SuSE, and UL. 32bit and 64bit modules. Now having tried all kinds of kernels. I started looking for RH kernel sources. Which is basically what CentOS provides. I started with the kernel-2.6.9-22.EL.src.rpm After messing with that for days, patches and all. I decided to give the kernel-devel rpms a go. So I downloaded kernel-devel-2.6.9-22.EL.i686.rpm kernel-devel-2.6.9-22.EL.x86_64.rpm Used rpm2targz, and converted them into tarballs which I unpacked. I then moved the sources from usr/lib/kernel, entered the kernel source dir, configured and compiled fine. With the i686 version. When I attempt to do the same with the x86_64 one I get wlt 2.6.9-22.EL # make bzImage ARCH=x86_64 V=1 if /usr/bin/env test ! /usr/src/2.6.9-22.EL -ef /usr/src/2.6.9-22.EL; then \ /bin/sh /usr/src/2.6.9-22.EL/scripts/mkmakefile \ /usr/src/2.6.9-22.EL /usr/src/2.6.9-22.EL 2 6 \ > /usr/src/2.6.9-22.EL/Makefile; \ fi CHK include/linux/version.h CHK include/asm-x86_64/offset.h make -f scripts/Makefile.build obj=scripts/basic make -f scripts/Makefile.build obj=scripts make -f scripts/Makefile.build obj=scripts/mod make -f scripts/Makefile.build obj=init make[1]: *** No rule to make target `init/main.o', needed by `init/built-in.o'. Stop Now I came across this posting http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=1110 And have heard from others that the preferred way to build RH kernels now is to rebuild an rpm using the src rpm. Which I have never done, but I have been making custom RH kernels since 6.2 or so. Always using the kernel-devel package? Now on IRC my main question was has anyone built a custom x86_64 kernel? I believe the reason I was booted, because I asked the same person (kbsingh) that question 3 times. Because they never answered, which leads me to believe they have not. Instead they called me a troll and made it so I can't say anything in the channel. Very rude and totally unprofessional. I thought CentOS was a enterprise community distro. Amazing to find that kind of attitude. Furthermore they were questioning what I did with the kernel-devel to build a custom kernel in the first place. Since they claimed it to be only headers not a full source? So I provided links and etc. http://dev.obsidian-studios.com/kernel-devel-2.6.9-22.EL.i686.rpm http://dev.obsidian-studios.com/kernel-devel-2.6.9-22.EL.i686.tar.gz http://dev.obsidian-studios.com/working-2.6.9-11.EL.tar.gz http://dev.obsidian-studios.com/2.6.9-11.EL.config.working Now I have been downloading all rpms from http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/centos/ I really need to build a 2.6.9.11.EL x86_64 kernel. I have a working i686 one, links above. But the kernel-devel-2.6.9-22.EL.x86_64.rpm Seems to be missing stuff that is in the i686 one. Like if you do not properly change dir name from 2.6.9-22.EL.x86_64 to 2.6.9-22.EL you can't compile asm-offsets. http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2005-April/004499.html However that was not a problem with the i686 sources? The asm-offsets file is provide in i686 kernel-dev rpm and src rpm. The missing x86_64 stuff is not in either kernel-dev or src rpms. Interesting enough, all the missing stuff exists by default with Gentoo sources. I am really trying to avoid rebuilding a rpm. That would require me to install and setup a CentOS or RHEL box. Which seems a bit much just to build a custom kernel. Considering the kernel will be used for another distro. Please anyone running CentOS with a custom x86_64 kernel, I would love to hear the processes. Now reason I am posting to dev list and not users, is it seems users are discouraged to build their own kernels as opposed to developers. Who have to make the resulting rpms as it is. Thoughts, comments, and things of a constructive nature are all greatly appreciated. Hopefully I will not find the same attitude here as in the irc channel. That type of behavior would keep someone like my who does not run or use CentOS, totally away from it. Gentoo people care less if I ask questions about building a custom centos kernel for Gentoo. Not sure why CentOS people would have a problem with my questions. Considering I am not asking anything about Gentoo, or that aspect of it. Just how to get a custom x86_64 kernel built using CentOS 2.6.9-22 sources. Thanks a million. -- Sincerely, William L. Thomson Jr. Obsidian-Studios, Inc. http://www.obsidian-studios.com
