CentOS CVE "database"?
by Nate Duehr 08 Oct '11

08 Oct '11

Was working on a project tonight to document CVE fixes applied to servers, and noted that RedHat has completely jacked up their website. In the past, I've usually just used their website for links to their CVE list, as well as links to their Errata to look up specifics for CentOS machines. It sure looks like these links are either permanently gone from the public pages to be hidden internally only available to Subscribers, or... RedHat's Marketing folks have completely destroyed what was once a valuable information-filled website. Either way... the question now becomes... Is there something similar to RedHat's CVE listings by year and number hosted by anyone in the CentOS community or by CentOS itself for CentOS? I haven't had much luck with my GoogleFu tonight. Thanks, Nate

CentOS-6.0 Continuous Release ( CR ) repository
by Timothy Murphy 08 Oct '11

08 Oct '11

I don't really understand the function of this repository, or rather why the RPMs in it are not in the standard repository? I read the outline at <http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/CR>, and added the repository on two CentOS machines. On yum-updating some 450MB of updates were installed. Both machines appear to be running perfectly well. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

Unable to run yum update
by david 08 Oct '11

08 Oct '11

Folks The system involved is a 32-bit system, installed via the net about a week ago. The command yum update encountered the following diagonstic Error: Package: yaf-1.3.2-1.el6.rf.x86_64 (@rpmforge) Requires: libfixbuf-0.9.0.so.8()(64bit) Removing: libfixbuf-0.9.0-1.el6.rf.x86_64 (@rpmforge) libfixbuf-0.9.0.so.8()(64bit) Updated By: libfixbuf-1.0.1-1.el6.rf.x86_64 (rpmforge) Not found You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest The repositories I use are: base epel extras rpmforge updates virtualbox I wonder if using priorities would help? Rpmforge is "supposed" to be non-conflicting, but then.... Please let me know what I should do. David

Installing Ruby gems on RPM-based systems
by Kenneth Porter 08 Oct '11

08 Oct '11

When I first got involved with Red Hat (back with 5.2 in the early 90's) I learned the hard way not to use language-specific packaging systems like CPAN for Perl because they'd conflict with RPM's database and make it much harder to manage what was installed on my system. If I now need a package for which no RPM is available, I'll use a utility like cpanspec to repackage it into an RPM and install that. Now I'm starting to work with Ruby and apparently it has its own packages called "gems". How do people deal with making Ruby and RPM get along? I'm trying to build Diaspora, an open source alternative to Facebook, and it wants me to install a ton of gems. I'm working on a "disposable" machine that I can re-image at will, so I let it use Ruby's "bundle install" command to dump all the gems from the Ruby repositories into their system location. But in a "real" installation I'd want to do this with RPM, repackaging gems as needed. What's available to do this properly? <https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora/wiki/Installing-and-Running-Diaspora>

Virtual RPM howto?
by Kenneth Porter 08 Oct '11

08 Oct '11

Can someone point me to a howto or an example of a virtual package? I'm building Diaspora (the open source competitor to Facebook) and I figured it would be handy to gather all the prereqs into a virtual package. I'm working from these instructions, which seemed to go fine on CentOS 6: <https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora/wiki/Installing-on-Fedora>

[C6] Some typical apps missing?
by Marko Vojinovic 08 Oct '11

08 Oct '11

Hi everyone! :-) I just installed CentOS 6 on one of my desktop machines, and yum now tells me that some of my favorite apps are not present in any of the repositories I configured. To name a few: ktorrent, kile, krusader, pavucontrol, mplayerplug-in (or is it now gecko-mediaplayer), xine, xmms, and so on... All these apps were readily available for C5, and I used them happily. I am mostly surprised with the absence of *any* torrent client, bar the rtorrent (which doesn't have a man page and I have no idea how to use it). Also kile, krusader and pavucontrol are quite basic and common apps... The configured repositories are: base, updates, extras, rpmforge, elrepo, as reported by yum. What am I missing? I would also be grateful if anyone has a suggestion for a reasonable (and available) substitute for any of these apps. I usually prefer KDE4 apps, but will use anything that works. I found some (rtorrent, mozilla-vlc, gnome-volume-control), but I am not exactly thrilled with their quality, so I'm hoping someone has a better suggestion. Google didn't want to be my friend this time, all hits were related to C5... ;-) TIA, :-) Marko

BIND and a second server resolving itself
by Bob Hoffman 07 Oct '11

07 Oct '11

I am installing my second server in the datacenter but having problems getting to the net with it. I am going to use it as a KVMvirt host and do not want to run bind on its base OS. My thought was to just refer to it in the bind zones as an additional record (main.example.com is the working server now, main2.example.com is the new one). I cannot get the new one to reach out to the net, is there something I have to do on the new server to make it resolve correctly (I have listed my nameservers and hosts file and all that)? I think I have to allow my original server, the one hosting the nameservers, to allow the new server access to query, is that right? or do I just need to add the IN A record with the ip, main2.example.com. IN A xxx.x..x...x..? this is the first time I ever went with two servers and a bit confused as to proper resolution on the second server without having bind on it... any help appreciated. happy friday all

CentOS 6.x cr repo
by Janne TH. Nyman 07 Oct '11

07 Oct '11

Team CentOS, Just writing to thank you a lot for the CentOS 6.1 packages made available on the 26th of September. I haven't gone through what updates exactly you guys released in the cr repository but I am well impressed with the improvements. Great timing as my RHEL self-support contract was due for renewal and I am so pleased with the refreshed packages, it now works on my ThinkPad X220, that I won't renew my RHEL subscription. Awesome work guys and thanks a million. :) CentOS Rocks. Ps. I found the CR repo information here: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2011-September/018078.html Janne Nyman AKA JNixus E: jnyman(a)jbtec.org
