OT: Powered by CentOS
by Franki 23 Apr '05

23 Apr '05

Hi guys, I was wondering if there was any powered by CentOS logo's available for use on websites that are 'powered by CentOS' Sorta like this mandrake one: http://htmlfixit.com/icons/medbutton.png Always a good idea to promote the cause so to speak and once I've ugpraded my web server I'll be changing the icon and if there isn't a CentOS version, I'll have a go at making one. regards Franki

How do point releases work?
by Steve Snyder 22 Apr '05

22 Apr '05

I'm new to RHEL-like distros. When, say, CentOS 4.1 is released, will it simply be CentOS 4.0 + released updates in new ISO images? Or is it more than just the updated packages integrated into the full distribution? Put another way, if my 4.0 installation is kept up to date with YUM, will I basically have a 4.1 installation? Thanks.

Centos EOL changes
by Michael Rock 22 Apr '05

22 Apr '05

Hi, has the end of life and yum update process changed for Centos? I want to stick with a release, but receive security updates to maintain stability on my critical servers. Last year I remember the plan being that if you picked 3.1, 3.3 or 3.4 you could stick with it and automatically receive yum updates without changing anything. Then when 3.4 came out the Centos readme said if you were on 3.3 you would automatically be updated to 3.4 through yum. That never happened and I remember reading some where here it would not. Which was fine by me since I assume that was due to sticking to the original plan. But now it seems I have a 3.3-1 server that all of sudden looks like it wants to update to 3.4. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Dovecot .99.11 build fails; libiconv
by Karl S. Katzke 22 Apr '05

22 Apr '05

Well, it seems this just isn't my day. Using the source RPM from a centos mirror, I tried to rebuild (and, after that fails) build manually a dovecot RPM. I get several errors about automake's iconv macro, AM_ICONV, missing, and then the install fails while looking for libiconv. I tested by first trying to rebuild the RPM, and when that failed, building the RPM manually by installing in sources and building, and when THAT failed, by unpacking the tarball and manually ./configure and make. Thanks to some googling around, I found that libiconv is a GNU package that's available in source, but that should generally be satisfied in glibc according to postings on the redhat mailing list. However... well, it seems that it isn't. Either that, or it's settled by a specific version of glibc, which I don't have in my glibc-2.3.4-2 ... and yes, I do have -common, -devel, -headers, -kernheaders, etc. installed for i686. I do have iconv.h on my system, but dovecot is specifically looking for libiconv. Anyone seen this before? Thanks, Karl Katzke

We also have half a dozen x330s and although I don't have centos 4 on all of them I am confident that we have successfully installed centos 4 at least three times on this server. We are also using the dvi like breakout cable, and it attaches to an HP cat5 kvm. Graham
