Hello, Firstly, allow me to congratulate you all on the release of 5.0! About a year ago I requested the CentOS team consent to adding the CentOS logo to Wikipedia's CentOS article. Images can be posted and still retain the trademark. For some examples of the different types of logos and their license templages, you can see the following pages: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Glogo-small.png - Gentoo logo, copyrighted, used under fair use http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Ubuntu_Logo.svg - Ubuntu logo, copyrighted, used under fair use http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Debian-logo.svg - Debian logo, copyrighted, used under the "Debian Open Use Logo License" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Wilber-huge-alpha.png - GIMP logo, used under the GPL license Essentially, Wikipedia can have logos that are under a variety of licenses. If you give your approval, I'll post a copy of the logo under the license of your choice. - Ken Dreyer On 4/30/06, Karanbir Singh <kbsingh(a)centos.org> wrote: > Ken Dreyer wrote: > > Hello, > > > > Logos can be posted to Wikipedia that fall under either Fair Use > > (copyrighted), GFDL, Creative Commons, or Public Domain.

anaconda dependency calculation?
by Nicholas Byrne 13 Apr '07

13 Apr '07

Hi all, I'm trying to find a tool that calculates all dependencies for a specific package or group of packages for use with CentOS 5 (beta) with the intention of putting together a custom single CD build of CentOS 5. With CentOS 4 i used a python script that used the hdrlist module to find all dependencies which borrowed code from a number of sources. I've looked at yumdownloader and how it checks dependencies (using the --resolve option) but if i pass it the list of packages defined in say the Base and the Core yum groups which generally form an absolute minimal install i end up with about 200 packages. If i do a custom install (using beta 1 disks) and deselect everything i end up with over 300 packages. So i'm guessing anaconda calculates dependencies in a slightly different way, can anyone point me to files/code where i should be looking to find out?

sata_mv error recovery issues
by Lennert Buytenhek 05 Apr '07

05 Apr '07

(please CC on replies, I'm not subscribed to linux-ide@) Hi, sata_mv (driving two 8-port Supermicro AOC-SAT2-MV8 PCI-X adapters) in 2.6.18-1.2747.el5 (RHEL/CentOS 5 beta kernel) didn't respond too well to one of the attached disks experiencing what seems to be a head crash. Apr 4 13:52:20 duality kernel: ata5: Entering mv_eng_timeout Apr 4 13:52:20 duality kernel: mmio_base f8980000 ap f7b442dc qc f7b44cf8 scsi_cmnd e719ee00 &cmnd e719ee38 Apr 4 13:52:30 duality kernel: ata5: no sense translation for status: 0x40 Apr 4 13:52:30 duality kernel: ata5: translated ATA stat/err 0x40/00 to SCSI SK/ASC/ASCQ 0xb/00/00 Apr 4 13:52:30 duality kernel: ata5: status=0x40 { DriveReady } Apr 4 13:52:30 duality kernel: sd 4:0:0:0: SCSI error: return code = 0x08000002 Apr 4 13:52:30 duality kernel: sde: Current: sense key: Aborted Command Apr 4 13:52:30 duality kernel: Additional sense: No additional sense information Apr 4 13:52:30 duality kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev sde, sector 684432191 At this point, the machine got into an endless loop where it would completely freeze for a couple of seconds every minute or so (busy wait in kernel space?), during which time it wouldn't respond to keyboard input, ping packets or any other input. Every time when it unfroze after being frozen for a couple of seconds, it would spit out a similar mv_eng_timeout message as above, and it would reply to the ping packets sent to it while it was frozen (i.e. a sudden burst of ping reply packets with ping times of 1ms, 1001ms, 2001ms, 3001ms, 4001ms, 5001ms etc), which makes me think it was just spinning in kernelspace somewhere.

5 for ppc
by Zenon Panoussis 05 Apr '07

05 Apr '07

First post here, so hi everyone. Mostly by accident I started compiling PNAEL-5 for ppc, first on a Mac G4 and then, when I run into the multilib requirements, also on a G5. The ppc variant is going well, ppc64 is a huge pile of headaches. So I figured, better ask around first: - Is anyone else working on what could be CentOS-5.ppc? Am I duplicating effort or could this be useful? - CentOS-4 has no ppc binaries. Is it due to lack of hardware and/or time or is it a technical or political decision? In other words, if I manage to complete CentOS-5.ppc, would the core team be interested in adding it to the binary distribution? - Are the Centified PNAEL-5 SRPMS available somewhere, so I can avoid building trademarked packages that I would later have to rebuild again? - Is CentOS-5 being built with --define "dist .el5" and --define "rhel 5" or with some non-PNAEL designation? If you have tried this and run into unbuildable ppc64 packages, I'd love to hear whether/how you got around the problem with e.g. binutils and elfutils. Z

EPEL yumex

Found after enabling the EPEL repo under C5-RC1 that yumex-1.9.5-1.0.el5 from EPEL upgraded the one from C5 extras. It looks considerably different, but seems to function OK after minimal testing. Might want to consider how overlaps between CentOS repos and EPEL should be resolved. Phil

Anaconda Slides in "Other Than English"
by Johnny Hughes 30 Mar '07

30 Mar '07

All, We have added some anaconda slides to the CentOS Wiki as they are presently for English. http://wiki.centos.org/ArtWork/rnotes We have attached a text file with some rewording and what will become a new virtualization slide. http://wiki.centos.org/ArtWork/rnotes?action=AttachFile What we need is for "other than english" speakers to translate the slides to other local languages. Please could we have volunteers translate the text for the "Title" and "Information" sections and attach them to e-mails to this list? Thanks, Johnny Hughes
