Testing PHP 5.2.6 and PostgreSQL 8.2.9
by admin 15 Oct '08

15 Oct '08

Not sure of the protocols for feedback on tested packages, but I installed the PHP 5.2.6 and PostgreSQL 8.2.9 RPMs from the testing repo and both seem to work fine so far with Drupal 7. What is the difference between packages in the top level of testing and those in testing/RPMs, apart from the obvious fact that the top level ones are newer? Organisationally, are there two levels of testing? I downloaded and installed directly with rpm rather than using yum. Do you prefer that testers always use yum? Will have a go at CDS using yum once I get a clean Xen image spun up, I'm still building my infrastructure and things aren't as automated as they could be yet. Mick

CentOS should be putting out betas that match the RHEL betas so that you can get access to it before the release. Use Fedora as the technology driver, use Betas as the bugfix cleanup for platform issues, and eventually you get the "Enterprise" release. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list(a)redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list

Bug 2934
by admin 11 Oct '08

11 Oct '08

I'm attempting to build a PHP 5.2.5 package for CentOS 5.2 (x86_64) using a Fedora SRPM. Satisified all dependencies and looked like it was going to build, but barfed at the end with a known apr/apxs issue - CentOS bug 2934. A workaround suggested in bug report didn't work, but produced a related but different error (I've updated the bug report). There is supposed to be a yum package in testing that fixes this issue. Where can I access the testing repo, or this package? Thanks Mick

CentOS Release Timeline (Graphical Display)
by Alain Reguera Delgado 09 Oct '08

09 Oct '08

Hi Guys, Following Dag's idea (May I Dag ?) of create a CentOS timeline graphical table ... here is a variation of it made last month. Maybe it could be used on http://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/General#head-fe8a0be91ee3e7dea812e8694491e1dde5b… as ilustration. It is a svg file with markers that could be included into our Artwork Building Environment to have it on different languages. Actually the "You are here" pointer is modified manually. Some way to automate this would be cool (IMO). See: http://wiki.centos.org/AlainRegueraDelgado?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=… http://wiki.centos.org/AlainRegueraDelgado?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=… What do you think ? Cheers, al.

Re: xfs volume can not be mounted with uuid or label, only scsi device name /dev/sdb (solved)
by John Shen 08 Oct '08

08 Oct '08

james, thank you so much for your help. indeed, the problem is that /etc/blkid/blkid.tab still has the old ext3 entry. i changed TYPE to xfs and updated the uuid for /dev/sdb, and now it mounts fine with UUID. since i prefer UUID anyway, i did not test label, but assume it was the same issue. yes, we do use the entire device, which never had problems with other fs types, which mount seem to update blkid.tab automatically. still not sure why it did not do so for xfs, but as long as it works, i am happy. cn=John Shen,title=Sys.

Works fine for me: # xfs_admin -lu /dev/sdb label = "/test" UUID = 9aa81fbd-3f6d-4d3d-a40f-2a5483f8fe5c # mount LABEL=/test /mnt/tmp # df /mnt/tmp Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sdb 11584 64 11520 1% /mnt/tmp # mount | grep /mnt/tmp /dev/sdb on /mnt/tmp type xfs (rw) # umount /mnt/tmp # mount UUID=9aa81fbd-3f6d-4d3d-a40f-2a5483f8fe5c /mnt/tmp # df /mnt/tmp Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sdb 11584 64 11520 1% /mnt/tmp # mount | grep /mnt/tmp /dev/sdb on /mnt/tmp type xfs (rw) i.e. the above is an XFS file system on the whole of /dev/sdb - which I can mount fine via its LABEL or UUID ... However, it appears that this only works if there is an entry for this file system in /etc/blkid/blkid.tab (that mount creates/updates) If I umount the file system, and then remove the line for /dev/sdb in /etc/blkid/blkid.tab - I then can't mount by LABEL or UUID - unless I previously mount by device ... This appears to be the case for ext3 as well as xfs ... Using a partition, then all works as expected.

That was how I got the LABEL and UUID: [root ~]# /usr/sbin/xfs_admin -lu /dev/sdb label = "/mysql2" UUID = 2560a02a-239b-4ac5-affe-cf71f8e87150 cn=John Shen,title=Sys.

HPC Channel in CentOS
by Tsai Li Ming 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

Hi Will CentOS be considering to roll out their own hpc channel, since Red Hat has announced it[1]? The SRPMS will be out soon. Since Platform OCS is 100% based on Project Kusu[2], I will be able to assist to help CentOS to have their own hpc channel. Due to the specialized nature of HPC, my team will be ready to help out in the CentOS forums or mailing lists. -Liming Team Lead Project Kusu [1]http://www.redhat.com/about/news/prarchive/2008/Linux_HPC_Platform.html [2]http://www.hpccommunity.org/index.php?pageid=Kusu

sorry for the confusion, i did use the uppercase in fstab. # neither of the following works # UUID=2560a02a-239b-4ac5-affe-cf71f8e87150 /var/lib/mysql xfs noatime 0 0 #LABEL=/mysql2 /var/lib/mysql xfs noatime 0 0 # only this works /dev/sdb /var/lib/mysql xfs noatime 0 0 cn=John Shen,title=Sys.

I think you need to use uppercase for LABEL= and UUID= James Pearson
