hi
I just came to wonderling how centos team
update
the
csgfs repo, what is the procedure to do that ?.
I use csgfs from centos and works great, thanks
a
lot
for provide it :-)
but how you know when uptream provide an update
for
the packages? I notice the last update because I read the rss
alert
feed but not because they use the
redhat-announce
list, neither centos send a messages when there
is
an
update to centos-announce :-(
right now I am facing the problem with a
lacking
of
*-kernel packages in csgfs for the newest
centos4's
kernel; I can, and will, compile the srpms from uptreams for the new -55.0.6 kernel but I am
just
wonderling how others solve this problem...
I suppose you will get an authentic answer from Johnny Hughes, but to give you a quick update on this ... this is what
he
said on the centos IRC this morning.
<hughesjr> hi ... I am doing the new
centosplus
kernel now .. and as soon as that is done, I will be working on csgfs kernel modules for the normal kernel as well as the DRBD and XFS
kernel
modues for the plus and normal kernel
so, it looks like he just passthrough the
"updates
jobs that have to be done" queue ? ;-)
I hope he will anwser my email :-) but... first I don't want to irespect jonny and the rest
of
centos team, they are doing a great amazing job,
a lot
of peoples including me , are beneficiating from
their
work. but, is there any chance that others "channels"
that
uptreams release in its public ftp (mirrors)
system
get processed like the os/update channel ? I barely remember that someone from centos team
said
sometime in the past that the update release in
centos
is almost automatic: uptream release a package
and
some scripts in centos dev pick them and compile
them
and then release them as centos updates, am I
correct?
if that is the case, could csgfs (or RHCS and
RHGFS)
could be included in such enviroment? if the procedure is just manual.... then I will accept, without questions, centos team priorities
:-)
;-)
The answer is that there are plenty of manual
steps required whether we
are talking about normal updates or csgfs items.
The csgfs updates are particularly tricky because
of the build
requirements (several packages are i386 others
i686 ... package "A" from
the update needs to be built and installed to
build package "B", etc.
So the CSFGS updates are more manual than the
normal updates.
However, there is also a checking against upstream
binary phase for all
updates that is also manual (normal and csgfs).
After that phase, and after installing and testing
locally, then there
is a release.
Besides that, there are only 24 hours in a day :D
I am currently working on CSGFS for centos-4, you
can expect it to be
updated within the next 24 hours if everything
builds and tests OK.
OK ... the CentOS-4 csgfs area should be updated to the latest RPMS now
Thanks,
No, thanks a lot to you and all the team :-)
