CentOS and JBoss
by Steven Stallion 05 Apr '08

05 Apr '08

All, (The company which I work for has authorized me to engage the CentOS community and make a proposal with regard to a whitebox JBoss distribution.) OCI currently provides support for JBoss and other related technologies. During the course of our work, we are now finding it difficult to manage patches between releases without rolling our own distribution. We also have several clients who need to re-distribute in their own products. I'm sure most of you are familiar with certain policies which prevent the JBoss name from being used for redistribution. So my proposal is this: I would like to propose a new open source project (a sister project, if you will) which aims at providing a CentOS analogue to JBoss: CentAS. This project will be commercially sponsored by OCI (in terms of manpower to create the distribution). Everything free, everything open, and most definitely no trademark restrictions. Mainly we are concerned with the JBoss source only, but this certainly opens up some doors for packaging/distribution within CentOS, leading perhaps to an open alternative to Red Hat's application. Thoughts? -- Steven Stallion Senior Software Engineer Object Computing, Inc. http://www.ociweb.com

heads up - centos/testing repos
by Karanbir Singh 31 Mar '08

31 Mar '08

hi Guys, Over the next couple of days, there is going to be a fair bit of movement in the CentOS-4 and CentOS5 testing repos hosted at dev.centos.org. So if you are running machines with that repo enabled with nightly yum updates, might be a good idea to suspend that for a bit. - KB -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219@icq

iptables extras
by Tim Verhoeven 31 Mar '08

31 Mar '08

Hi, Attached is a modifed src rpm of iptables. It is based on base C5 iptables package and source. It just build 2 extra packages : iptables-extras and iptables-ipv6-extras. These extra package contain modules that are not enabled by in the base package but do have support for them in the kernel. I use it for CLUSTERIP support. I would be great if these extra packages could be put in centosplus/extras.

Re: [CentOS] MySQL issues with kernel-2.6.18-53.1.6.el5.x86_64.rpm

hi! Yes we did indeed get this to work. Mr CentOS himself (aka Johnny Hughes) has kindly compiled and provided kernels with fixes for this bug that Redhat seems quite unwilling to solve, an attitude I do not understand at all.

As requested, just a quick note to say thanks to the guys who are porting IcedTea, I've managed to get Tomcat and its Pentaho war running fine. Along with the Pentaho Kettle ETL tool. I'm having some issues with Pentaho Report Designer, but tbh it needs a rewrite so its not a great surprise. Cheers Guys and keep up the hard work. Tom

Hello, according to http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2008-0071.html and http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2008-0079.html it seems that the upstream vendor has released updated liberation-fonts and pygtk2 packages as fasttrack updates. It would nice to have these packages in CentOS's fasttrack repo too. Regards, -- Heiko Adams <heiko.adams(a)gmail.com>

Converting a LiveCD iso to pxeboot
by Patrice Guay 10 Mar '08

10 Mar '08

The latest livecd-tools[1] includes a new tool to convert a LiveCD iso image so that it can be booted over the network using PXELINUX. The way it works is to bundle the complete ISO image inside the initrd. The kernel and (bloated) initrd are downloaded using PXE in the normal way, and the init script finds and loopback-mounts the ISO image and booting continues as normal. This script has been added to the latest livecd-tools release from Fedora and seems compatible with the livecd-tools used to create the CentOS 5.1 LiveCD.

QA Coordinator
by Tim Verhoeven 09 Mar '08

09 Mar '08

Hello everyone, As most of you will probably know there was a CentOS developers day last Friday (before the FOSDEM event). One of the things discussed during that day was the need/use for a QA coordinator. I think the best way to describe the job role is that this person should be between the developers and the QA team and make sure that QA testing is efficient and on time (as best as we can get). Also the coordinator is the single point of contact for the developers to talk to the QA team and the other way around. I am the "lucky" person that will try to be this QA coordinator from now on. So I would like to make the following arrangements : Towards the developers. Let me know as soon as possible when there is something in the pipeline that will need to tested by the QA team. The sooner as I know the sooner that I get can the testers mobilized and ready. For the members of the QA team. If you are still interested in testing then make sure you are added to the QA Team page on the wiki (http://wiki.centos.org/QaTeam) During testing document all your findings on the wiki so we can keep track of things. I will try to make a test plan and some sort of schedule on the wiki for each release that needs to go through QA as soon that I'm aware that a release is coming for testing, so everybody knows when there is a need for testing. Alright, that is it for know I think. Let me know if you have any questions, comments, things I forgot, ...

2 problems running CentOS 5.1 + kernel-vm in VMware Fusion
by Leonardo Vilela Pinheiro 07 Mar '08

07 Mar '08

Hi, Inside VMware Fusion, I've started using: - CentOS 5.1 x86_64 - kernel-vm-2.6.18-53.1.13.el5.x86_64.rpm from http://people.centos.org/~tru/kernel-vm/5/RPMS/x86_64/ - kmod-open-vm-tools-0-0.20080123.2.6.18_53.1.13.el5vm.x86_64.rpm from http://people.centos.org/~hughesjr/open-vm-tools/5/x86_64/ Sometimes (most times) I get this error during boot: "The VMware Tools poweron script did not run successfully in this virtual machine - If you have configured a custom poweron script in this virtual machine, please inspect it for errors; otherwise, please submit a support request." A screenshot of this error can be seen in: http://www.scribd.com/doc/2228546/VMware-Fusion-error-running-CentOS-51-ker… I don't know if this error is happening in VMware under Linux or Windows. When I try to suspend the virtual machine (clicking on "Suspend Guest"), I get the error that can be seen in: http://www.scribd.com/doc/2232883/VMware-Fusion-running-CentOS-51-kernelvm-… If I may help debugging something, please tell me what to show you. -- Leonardo
