CentOS 5.7 has no centos-release-cr package
by Ben Galliart 28 Sep '11

28 Sep '11

Following the strong recommendation on the CentOS-announce mailing list, we had added the centos-release-cr package to our kickstart for PXE based installs. Since the release of 5.7, this kickstart fails since the centos-release-cr package can no longer be found. Given that there is a 5.7/cr directory, it appears the plans include having CR being an on-going convention rather than a on-time thing just for 5.7. If I understand this correctly that CR will be used again once upstream releases 5.8, then I would like to be able to leave centos-release-cr as part of my kickstart so it is already configured for the next batch of CR updates. Is it possible to add centos-release-cr to the 5.7/cr sometime soon? Also, on a somewhat related issue, is there a reason why this is not an single noarch package? Thanks

signing drpms
by Karanbir Singh 28 Sep '11

28 Sep '11

hi I've noticed that no one seems to be signing drpms. Is there a reason for that ? or is it just down to inconvenient ( its a bit messy needing to get drpms into secure-box type environments ), and of academic interest ( in that the re-assembled rpm will be signed, and need to go through a verify process ). - KB

mod_perl 2.0.5 rpms for Centos 6
by Fred Moyer 28 Sep '11

I put together a few mod_perl 2.0.5 rpms for Centos 6. This is my first foray into contributing to Centos, so any tips on how to get these into the pipeline are welcome. Thanks! http://people.apache.org/~phred/mod_perl-2.0.5-1.src.rpm http://people.apache.org/~phred/mod_perl-2.0.5-1.i386.rpm http://people.apache.org/~phred/mod_perl-devel-2.0.5-1.i386.rpm

Advice on compiling multiple packages with mock
by Ljubomir Ljubojevic 27 Sep '11

27 Sep '11

Can someone point me in the right direction? How do you compile multiple packages continuously with mock? I have some 50 srpms waiting to be recompiled via mock for both i386 and x86_64 (again). 1. Is there a command I can give so all the packages are compiled in one go? 2. Do I have to sort them in proper order (dependencies) or can I just command to mock to check and sort them? Any help is appreciated, examples welcomed.

CVE-2011-3192 rpms for CentOS 5 still pending?
by dfrg.msc 23 Sep '11

23 Sep '11

According to the CentOS-CR-Announce list, there is recently an update for httpd in CentOS 5 CR repo. But the announcement http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-cr-announce/2011-September/000293.… refers to upstream RHBA-2011-1067, which is the version released with 5.7 base packages. Upstream has an update for CVE-2011-3192 whose announcement is RHSA-2011-1245, and this update of httpd has version number 2.2.3-53.el5_7.1, which is higher than that in C5 CR repo (2.2.3-53.el5.centos). Maybe there should be another update for httpd in CentOS 5 CR repo. BTW, any update on C6.1 (or 6.0 CR packages)? Regards.

source missing from 5.7 release
by Florian La Roche 21 Sep '11

21 Sep '11

Hello CentOS development team, seems the pushout scripts still miss a few corner cases. The following source packages only show up in CentOS-5.6, but not in CentOS-5.7: 5.6/os/SRPMS/gfs-kmod-0.1.34-15.el5.centos.src.rpm 5.6/os/SRPMS/gnbd-kmod-0.1.5-2.el5.centos.src.rpm 5.6/os/SRPMS/cmirror-kmod-0.1.22-3.el5.src.rpm Binary packages still seem to exist in 5.7: [laroche@munich centos]$ find 5.7/os/ -name "kmod-*" 5.7/os/i386/CentOS/kmod-gfs-PAE-0.1.34-15.el5.centos.i686.rpm 5.7/os/i386/CentOS/kmod-gnbd-0.1.5-2.el5.centos.i686.rpm 5.7/os/i386/CentOS/kmod-cmirror-PAE-0.1.22-3.el5.i686.rpm 5.7/os/i386/CentOS/kmod-gfs-xen-0.1.34-15.el5.centos.i686.rpm 5.7/os/i386/CentOS/kmod-cmirror-0.1.22-3.el5.i686.rpm 5.7/os/i386/CentOS/kmod-gnbd-PAE-0.1.5-2.el5.centos.i686.rpm 5.7/os/i386/CentOS/kmod-gnbd-xen-0.1.5-2.el5.centos.i686.rpm 5.7/os/i386/CentOS/kmod-cmirror-xen-0.1.22-3.el5.i686.rpm 5.7/os/i386/CentOS/kmod-gfs-0.1.34-15.el5.centos.i686.rpm 5.7/os/x86_64/CentOS/kmod-gnbd-xen-0.1.5-2.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm 5.7/os/x86_64/CentOS/kmod-gfs-xen-0.1.34-15.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm 5.7/os/x86_64/CentOS/kmod-kvm-debug-83-239.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm 5.7/os/x86_64/CentOS/kmod-kvm-83-239.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm 5.7/os/x86_64/CentOS/kmod-gnbd-0.1.5-2.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm 5.7/os/x86_64/CentOS/kmod-cmirror-xen-0.1.22-3.el5.x86_64.rpm 5.7/os/x86_64/CentOS/kmod-gfs-0.1.34-15.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm 5.7/os/x86_64/CentOS/kmod-cmirror-0.1.22-3.el5.x86_64.rpm Nobody running any of the check scripts if all binary rpms do have corresponding source rpms available? Things get rotten so fast... best regards, Florian La Roche

CentOS and Scientific Linux Cern installations with FAI
by lange＠fai-project.org 19 Sep '11

19 Sep '11

I'm very happy to announce, that FAI (Fully automatic Installation) now can install and configure CentOS and Scientific Linux Cern (SLC). You can use a Debian FAI server for installing CentOS version 5 and 6 or SLC 5 and 6. As an example I've also built a FAI multi-distribution CD which installs those three different Linux distributions with different configurations. Get this ISO image from http://fai-project.org/fai-cd/ This installation is very quick. I've done a CentOS 6.0 installation (with graphical desktop) in 199 seconds (in a kvm instance on a quad-core 3.2GHz, hard disk in RAM) and it only needs 490 seconds on the real hardware when installing from CD. A short description how to install CentOS or SLC via network from your FAI server is described in this mail: https://lists.uni-koeln.de/pipermail/linux-fai/2011-September/009243.html Feedback is always welcome. Please send your feedback to the linux-fai mailing list https://lists.uni-koeln.de/mailman/listinfo/linux-fai/ Best regards, Thomas, in behalf of the FAI team About FAI: FAI is a non-interactive system to install, customize and manage Linux systems and software configurations on computers as well as virtual machines and chroot environments, from small networks to large infrastructures and clusters. Compared to kickstart, FAI is more flexible and includes a powerfull class mechanism to build a configuration from multiple building blocks. It also includes the features of cobbler. The project was started in 1999 for the Debian distribution. Later Ubuntu support was added and some time ago we start adding RPM support.
