Feedback request
by Jim Perrin 09 Jan '06

09 Jan '06

If you are using the c4-testing repository from http://dev.centos.org/ please consider providing feedback about the rpms you're using either here to the devel list with a quick email, or (my preference, but open for discussion/suggestions) via bugs.centos.org. We need the feedback for packages to be able to move them to centosplus, extras,addons, or where-ever else they're destined to go. Your feedback will help us to provide stable packages that benefit everyone. -- Jim Perrin System Architect - UIT Ft Gordon & US Army Signal Center

CentOS 4 PPC boot iso?
by Charlie Brady 30 Dec '05

30 Dec '05

Could someone please point me to same? I've found references to a beta boot.iso, but that seems no longer available, and I've found only empty "isos" directories, e.g.: http://mirror.centos.org/centos-4/4.2/isos/ppc/ I'm not the only one to be looking: http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=2209 Thanks

(It doesn't need to be done quick or anything, just as part of the next update ... unless there isn't one before CentOS-4.3 release) Thanks, Johnny Hughes

CentOS Plus / CentOS Extras Policy
by Karanbir Singh 27 Dec '05

27 Dec '05

We need to work out format / policy for pkgs built and hosted in the CentOS Extras / CentOS Plus Testing area -> Stable repository. One option is to move pkgs by Time-Default. Under this setup, once announced in the centos-devel list, after 14 days the pkgs are moved into the stable repositories. The time issue is arbitary, I feel 14 days is 'long enough'. If its too long we can shorten it to 7 days ? Would that give enough time to find major issues ? Second option, would be to raise a bugs.centos.org issue for each pkg - and ask for feedback on the issue tracker. Moving the package from Testing to Stable would required a fixed number of positive responders. eg. 5 people need to confirm it works ? Third option would be to leave it upto the packager / builder to decide when its ok to move things over from Testing -> Stable. However, in lots of cases, pkgers are busy. And to be honest, unless the pkger thinks its OK, the pkg would not be in Testing anyway. I prefer if other people were to be involved in the test process as well. Suggestions ? Comments ? -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219@icq

Missing .src.rpm
by John Newbigin 20 Dec '05

20 Dec '05

RedHat recently released 2 errata for EL2.1. They provide links to their ftp site but as yet the files are not there ftp://updates.redhat.com/enterprise/2.1AS/en/os/SRPMS/netpbm-9.24-9.AS21.6.… ftp://updates.redhat.com/enterprise/2.1AS/en/os/SRPMS/xpdf-0.92-17.src.rpm The Australian mirror which I used to use has also stopped mirroring the 2.1AS directory and I am yet to find a suitable replacement. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what to do?

20 Dec '05

Centos-devel, Do you have scripts/code to harvest RedHat SRPMS for errata? Rebuild the .src.rpms and then send out email with the "technical" details included? Trying to automate our release system more than it is now. Thanks -Connie Sieh Scientific Linux Developer

Python 2.3 (python2.3) is now available for CentOS-3 on i386 and x86_64 in the Testing repository. -------------------------------------------------------------- Name : python2.3 Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 2.3.4 Vendor: CentOS Release : 14.1.centos3.1 Build Date: Fri 02 Dec 2005 01:45:12 AM CET Install Date: (not installed) Build Host: sillage.bis.pasteur.fr Group : Development/Languages Source RPM: (none) Size : 7575362 License: PSF - see LICENSE Signature : DSA/SHA1, Tue 06 Dec 2005 12:44:36 PM CET, Key ID 5c37c0b17203f491 URL : http://www.python.org/ Summary : An interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language. Description : Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language often compared to Tcl, Perl, Scheme or Java. Python includes modules, classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types and dynamic typing. Python supports interfaces to many system calls and libraries, as well as to various windowing systems (X11, Motif, Tk, Mac and MFC).

CentOS install CD bootlogo
by Sherman Boyd 09 Dec '05

09 Dec '05

Hi, I'm working on cleaning up the bootlogo for CentOS. I just finished and I'm dead tired, but since I didn't find very good documentation on some of this stuff with a google search I wanted to document what I did: First I took some of the standard artwork and cleaned it up in gimp. I saved the image to a 640x300 14 color ppm. Looking at the .msg files under the /isolinux directory I was able to figure out that redhat actually uses 7 different text colors in it's menu. Each color has a corresponding hex code that specifies which of the sixteen colors in splash.lss to use. I matched them up as close as possible, and converted the ppm to an lss: ppmtolss16 "#000100=0" "#7b5b89=9" "#e5dde8=7" "#ffffff=15" "#ff020a=2" "#f1aa23=12" "#9ad02d=10" <centos-boot-clean.ppm >splash.lss Here is the end result: http://www.mitosys.com/images/splash.lss Hope you like it. The f7 anaconda looks good eh! -- Best regards, Sherman Boyd

Centos4/Centos3 filesystem difference?
by Les Mikesell 08 Dec '05

08 Dec '05

I restored a tar backup of a Centos3 x86_64 box using a Centos4 x86 machine to format the disk and untar the files. Then I used the install cd to install grub on the actual machine but when it booted it said the filesystem had errors and fsck refused to fix them because the filesystem had newer features. Is there a way to make a backwards-compatible filesystem in the newer version and is the difference documented somewhere? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell(a)gmail.com
