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 :-) ;-)
thanks roger
