Starting a s390x rebuild on my own
by Sascha Thomas Spreitzer 09 Jul '09

09 Jul '09

Good morning hackers, me and others tried to form a special interest group and didn't succeed well. So im starting my own rebuild now. I have access to a z/VM guest and some hercules with 1k mips, too Ill inform you next time the CentOS 5.3 basic package set has been created. Id be thankful if the final version could be mirrored upstream. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, / with kind regards, Sascha Thomas Spreitzer http://spreitzer.name/

Libraries not stripped in rebuilt rpms and larger packages
by Luigi Iotti 09 Jul '09

09 Jul '09

Hi all I usually rebuild some CentOS rpm packges with some changes I need. I noticed that I obtain slightly larger packages than the ones found in the centOS distribution, even if I rebuild a source rpm without changing anything. I looked in it, and it turned out that my shared libraries are not stripped, where the ones found in your packages are. For example, I just rebuilt the openldap packages, and obtained a package that is about 3 times larger: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10899106 Jul 7 22:42 my/openldap-servers-2.3.43-3.el5.lux.2.i386.rpm -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3202917 Jul 8 16:38 orig/openldap-servers-2.3.43-3.el5.i386.rpm I extracted the packages with rpm2cpio, and the difference in size are in the shared libraries, for example: # ls -l */usr/lib/libslapd_db-4.4.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6518365 Jul 8 16:42 my/usr/lib/libslapd_db-4.4.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1032880 Jan 21 10:00 orig/usr/lib/libslapd_db-4.4.so # file */usr/lib/libslapd_db-4.4.so my/usr/lib/libslapd_db-4.4.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped orig/usr/lib/libslapd_db-4.4.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), stripped Maybe the CentOS build system contains some macros that strip libraries, and the distributed macros do not. I put this in /etc/rpm/macros (the line calling brp-strip-shared was added to the analogous macro taken from /usr/lib/rpm/redhat): %__os_install_post \ /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-compress \ %{!?__debug_package:/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-strip %{__strip}} \ %{!?__debug_package:/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-strip-shared %{__strip}} \ /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-strip-static-archive %{__strip} \ /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-strip-comment-note %{__strip} %{__objdump} \ /usr/lib/rpm/brp-python-bytecompile \ /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/brp-java-repack-jars \ %{nil} Do you see any problems doing so? Why there is this difference between packages distributed by CentOS and the same packages rebuilt in a CentOS environment? Thank you

Where can I help?
by Adam Miller 07 Jul '09

07 Jul '09

Hello all, My name is Adam Miller and I'm currently a Fedora Packager/Developer and Ambassador, also a RHEL admin by $dayjob. I've come to a point to where I rely on CentOS for my VPSs hosted via Linode.com and would like to contribute back to CentOS where I am able. I was curious if there are any areas of CentOS that are currently in need of help/involvement?

Building an automated rpm build system
by carlopmart 06 Jul '09

06 Jul '09

Hi all, I need to setup a centos 5 x86_64 server to build custom rpms for centos5, rhel5 and oel5. My requeriments are: - Build rpms only from src.rpm packages and .spec files. - Restrict architectures: I only need to build these packages for i386 and x86_64 hosts. - See logs when packages are builded. - Easy to install and lightweight, if it is possible. I have seen mock and koji. Mock it seems ver older but can I use to accomplish these? And koji it seems very complex. Any ideas?? Exists another build system?? Many thanks. -- CL Martinez carlopmart {at} gmail {d0t} com

RHWAS
by Christoph Maser 30 Jun '09

I had a look at the testing repo. Is it right there is only a fraction of RHWAS rebuild? Once packages are to stable will they go into plus or will there a rhwas repo?

Resigning from the CentOS project
by Dag Wieers 25 Jun '09

25 Jun '09

Hi, It was not an easy decision and I feel sad for having to take it, but I decided to resign from the CentOS project. I hope the team can fix the project's leadership, communication and transparancy issues (even within the team), because each is very important for the health of the CentOS community. And while I will be no longer part of the team, I still feel deeply involved as a user and advocate. My resignation feels also like a personal failure because I failed to change those things that I still believe to be important. It's sad day if you have to conclude that resigning is the best option and this will take some time to heal. Good luck with the project ! -- -- dag wieers, dag(a)wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]

Howto change arch for FirebirdSS rpm
by Pavel Lisy 23 Jun '09

23 Jun '09

Hello I have this problem: I make my own php rpms, base on src.rpm from CentOS but with my patches (more options included). I have built it on my machine originally but now I want make it in mock environment. I solved almost everything but Firebird support for 64bit arch. Original RPM from http://www.firebirdsql.org/ are made with amd64 arch but my php is x86_64. And I don't know how to solve it. .src.rpm for FirebirdSS and/or FirebirdCS is on available. I have this section in .spec %if %{with_interbase} %package interbase Group: Development/Languages Prereq: php = %{version}-%{release}, perl Summary: A Sybase/MSSQL database module for PHP. Provides: php_database # BuildPrereq: /usr/include/gds.h /usr/include/ibase.h # BuildPrereq: /usr/include/iberror.h /usr/include/ib_util.h # BuildPrereq: FirebirdCS >= 1.5.0 # "AutoReqProv: yes" don't work because of fault in Firebird RPMs # # AutoReqProv: no # BuildPrereq: FirebirdSS >= 1.5.0 # # Requires: /usr/lib/libgds.so %ifarch i386 i486 i586 i686 BuildPrereq: FirebirdSS >= 1.5.0 %endif %ifarch x86_64 BuildPrereq: FirebirdSS.amd64 >= 2.0.1 %endif But mock failed with this: DEBUG util.py:256: No Package Found for FirebirdSS.amd64 >= 2.0.1 │54 I don't how to include amd64 arch rpm to my x86_64 repository. (my repo: http://ftp-hk.tmapy.cz/tmapy-twist/centos/4/os/x86_64/RPMS/) I think there are two possible solution, rebuilt Firebird rpm with different arch or include amd64 to x86_64 repository. Do you how to make it? My questions: 1. Can I reconstruct .src.rpm from binary rpm or change arc in binary arch? How? 2. How to include amd64 arch rpm to my x86_64 repository? Thanks in advance Pavel
