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...
thanks roger

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.
Thanks, Johnny Hughes

OK ... the CentOS-4 csgfs area should be updated to the latest RPMS now
