CentOS 5 x86_64 updates contains: etherboot-pxes-5.4.4-13.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm etherboot-roms-5.4.4-13.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm etherboot-roms-kvm-5.4.4-13.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm etherboot-zroms-5.4.4-13.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm etherboot-zroms-kvm-5.4.4-13.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm This belongs to CEBA-2010:0227 and is x86_64 only. Neither CEBA-2010:0227 nor any of the above packages been announced. There's also some more weird stuff we're hitting. I will bring it up on the list unless someone tells me to stop.

Confusing package versioning
by Ned Slider 07 May '11

07 May '11

Hi Johnny et al., I'd like to raise a query relating to recent package versioning. For example, CentOS recently released the following updates: httpd-2.2.3-45.el5.centos.1.src.rpm selinux-policy-2.4.6-300.el5_6.1.src.rpm relating to the upstream packages: httpd-2.2.3-45.el5_6.1.src.rpm selinux-policy-2.4.6-300.el5_6.1.src.rpm which IMHO is confusing. In the case of selinux-policy (and others) CentOS rigorously follows the upstream versioning, yet for httpd the versioning is different. Firstly, IMHO it is difficult to establish that the two (httpd) packages are indeed the same, and secondly, one wonders how CentOS might handle the notional upstream release of httpd-2.2.3-45.el5_7.1.src.rpm, for example. Where it is necessary to append the centos tag, I would assume it would be preferable to do it at the end of the existing release string thus preserving the upstream notation. For example, httpd-2.2.3-45.el5_6.1.centos.src.rpm I realise it's not easy when upstream do things like this: Release: 45%{?dist}.1 but at the very least it would be nice if you could set %{dist} to el5_6.centos in this case which would be a closer match to upstream As it stands, it looks like the centos.1 was appended by CentOS and the original upstream package was httpd-2.2.3-45.el5.src.rpm which clearly isn't the case. In such cases, would editing the SPEC file release line be the lesser of two evils?

sata_via and WD drives incompatibility patch
by Dmitry E. Mikhailov 04 May '11

04 May '11

Greetings, I was hit by an infamous hardware incompatibility between VIA VT6420/1 sata card (sata_via) and newer Western Digital drives. The bug has been worked around in mainline kernel at 2.6.32.7, * https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15173 * http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/46352 * http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1062139 The sata_via patch from bug#15173 applies cleanly to sata_via module of 2.6.18-238 and now I'm running using a 'fixed' module with no problem. Unfortunately the patched module uses symbols not from kABI whitelist so universal replacement kernel module could not be made, but the patch itself could be integrated to upstream's tree or into the CentOS-Plus kernel. As I'm not a RHEL subscriber, I can only ask for the latter. Any ideas? Best regards, Dmitry Mikhailov

Hi all, It could be useful to make "yum updates --security" work, and now, spacewalk (since 1.4) can generate erratas from this file. Thanks for yours answers. Regards.

Test scripts - some starter questions.
by Steve Barnes 04 May '11

04 May '11

Hi list A few questions regarding the scope of test scripts that have been requested: - is there a git repository or similar source that contains all of the currently available test scripts? It would be helpful to know that, given my copious spare time, I'm not re-inventing any wheels or contributing the 57th LAMP install script. - relating to package installation test scripts, would there be any appreciable benefit to simply throwing everything + kitchen sink at the wall and see what _doesn't_ stick? (i.e., yum install every single available package one after the other and record any failures?) This seems like a more...comprehensive method of uncovering package installation issues than me simply picking "my top 10 favourite/most well known" yum packages. - is the scope for test scripts "anything you can think of that performs some kind of configuration change with a measurable return value" - e.g, tests that cover (for example) networking configuration, partition/filesystem creation, package installation, firewall configuration, user/group account creation/deletion/editing, SSH key generation etc etc etc? - at present, each test script needs to be self-contained. To reduce the amount of code duplication/maintenance is there any intention (or objection) to developing a library of helper functions? Thank you! Steve
