Getting some z's
by IT2 Stuart Blake Tener, USNR 07 Jun '09

07 Jun '09

CentOS Users/Developers: It interests me to find out if and or when any such CentOS 5 for z/system will be forthcoming? I use Hercules and would love to play with CentOS under z/system via the Hercules emulator. Funny how my personal mainframe has an "Apple" on it, and is 17" in size, ay? :) If not, I am curious how difficult it is to generate an entire z/distro from compiling it from source? I was told the source can be compiled via an easy script, but I can't imagine that is true for z/systems. I am planning on getting a new server for development and such, how hard would this be to create? -- Very Respectfully, Stuart, N3GWG

by Alberto Castillo 05 Jun '09

05 Jun '09

Hi folks! Sorry if this is very strange that I speak about fedora here, but I have trouble and I do not how resolve, in fedora lists I hope that can response me too! Last night, I can run my micro distro with a 486 and 4MB ram + vnc client to a Fedora 10 vnc server. The cuestion is that when I connect the server give me in same time 2 instances of gdmgreeter!!! in short: when I connect I can see too login screen one on top of the other, and I when I login with a user, this can enter fine, but still I have the login screen mix with the Desktop!!! I can not out from sessions! I never seen that before... Some idea? The configuration of vnc server and xinetd is the same that k12ltsp centos5 Thank you for read! Alberto Castillo PD: I edit the mail. that have find that only with resolution 800*600*16 occurs this. In 640*480*16 do not have problems, I revisited all the code and I do not find anything wrong.

[CentOS-docs] Proposal for standardized mugshots
by Dag Wieers 01 Jun '09

01 Jun '09

Hi, The first issue of the newsletter is being finalized to be released on Tuesday. For this we wanted to personalize the content a bit (and also credit contributions) by adding mugshots when we report about people and/or get contributed content. To facilitate this, we need a standard to refer to these mugshots and for this I'd like to propose the following convention for everyone who wants his mugshot to be used: DagWieers/DagWieers96.png This mugshot then would be used also from the Team's page: http://wiki.centos.org/Team as well as on your personal homepage, eg. http://wiki.centos.org/DagWieers It would be great if people can already provide this mugshot so that I don't have to harass people when I need/want them ;-) If you don't want a mugshot, please add a blank/black image with the same name or provide an alternative, that helps to understand your wish. Also if you could take the time to update your profile on the Team page (the minimum overview information leading you into your personal homepage) then that would be appreciated too. People interested in helping with the Newsletter can get early Newsletter access too. We are still looking for people to manage certain sections, lots of information is already available at: http://wiki.centos.org/Newsletter We won't allow the newsletter to fail :-) Kind regardsn -- -- dag wieers, dag(a)wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors] _______________________________________________ CentOS-docs mailing list CentOS-docs(a)centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs

Web Environment Design
by Alain Reguera Delgado 30 May '09

30 May '09

Hi Guys, Actually CentOS uses many free software applications to handle its needs. Those applications have their own design and when you see them as a whole they don't visually fit among them. Additionally, when you are in one application, for example the wiki, there isn't always a visible link referring other sections, like forums, bugs, docs, downloads, projects ... Don't know if you are agree with the idea of a common and predictable design for the applications we use; so I've organized some ideas in the following wiki page for you to consider and improve: http://wiki.centos.org/WebsiteVer2/WebEnvironment As part of these ideas a redesing for mailman application was requiered: http://wiki.centos.org/WebsiteVer2/WebEnvironment/Mailman Others applications may be modified to ... but before that I would like to know what do you think about it. I would like to be focused on what CentOS really needs for its improvement. Best Regards, -- al. -- http://www.fastmail.fm - A no graphics, no pop-ups email service

sqlite enabled repodata
by David Hrbáč 27 May '09

27 May '09

Hi, within the update to 5.3 I guess it would be interesting to provide sqlite enabled repos. yum-3.2.19-18.el5.centos is prepared for that. Regards, David Hrbáč

Where is the config file to use with the livecd-creator for respinning the livecd? And/or instructions :-). The wiki links lead to the 5.2 set which do not seem to work with 5.3.

Re: [CentOS-devel] [CentOS-qa] New drbd packages available for testing

I've also seen your mail on the DRBD mailling-list and the Lars' answer about the testing request (http://lists.linbit.com/pipermail/drbd-user/2009-May/012019.html) So the question is : do we want to provide both 8.2.7 (as drbd82 package) and 8.3.1 (as drbd83) ? It seems to me that drbd83 is 'just' an update to the 8.2.x branch (it could be named 8.2.10 in the Lars' answer) The reason why there was a drbd (for 7.0.24 on el4 and 8.0.6 on el5) and drbd82 was that metadata was not usable anymore and some config parameters were completely different and so a simple `yum update drbd` could break the existing setup. Now the question seems to be : do you still need to split between drbd82 and drbd83 ? -- -- Fabian Arrotin idea=`grep -i clue /dev/brain` test -z "$idea" && echo "sorry, init 6 in progress" || sh ./answer.sh

Important: CentOS Newsletter coming to town
by Dag Wieers 22 May '09

22 May '09

Hi all, The CentOS Newsletter is a new initiative taken to promote CentOS, but also to improve the communication inside of the community itself. http://wiki.centos.org/Newsletter Currently we envision a Newsletter that highlights some of the things that are going on inside of the different community's channels. But we probably could do much more, all of this depends on contributions and ideas of those people that are already involved. So what I am looking for are people that - think about what subject, thread or article could be useful for the Newsletter (as much as possible) - write new content that can be featured in the Newsletter - are willing to (co)maintain a section in the Newsletter on a bi-weekly basis We haven't decided what sections will go into the Newsletter yet, but here is a list of the things that are possible. If you have other ideas, please share them with the centos-promo mailinglist (or send them to me personally). We are looking for a few recurring sections for the Newsletter: * Foreword * Featured Article(s) * Wonderful Wiki Whatever (new documentation in the wiki) * Community Threads (interesting threads on mailinglist, forums and blogs) * CentOS Fixes (an overview of the recent errata) * Development Discussions (what happens on centos-devel) * CentOS in the News (who's covering CentOS) * ... Of course, if we don't have any content for a section at some point, we will leave that section out. So who is interested to help out with the first and second issue ? And who is interested to maintain/edit one of these sections ? I am looking for people in the different communities (mailinglist, forums and blogs) that keep up with things and offer items to be featured. I am also interested in reports about new developments within the community from the different SIGs, from the developers and project members to highlight areas where is being worked on and what progress we are making. If you are interested, you know where to find me :) -- -- dag wieers, dag(a)wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]
