New CentOS ToDo Page Required
by Mister IT Guru 09 Apr '11

09 Apr '11

Due to recent list traffic, it seems that we need to have a new todo list! I propose the following 1) Nuke current todo page 2) Create new todo page 3) Clear out ancient todo items a) Get rid of the items that are no longer relevant b) Reword those that are 4) Update Wiki a) Gasp as the magnitude at the job b) Inject coffee, add ego - write mini todo and propose to list c) Expand on b) till the list stops quibbling d) Find volunteers, and get cracking on Updating the wiki Any ideas? Anyone want to comment?

how is "binary compatibility" determined?
by Keith Keller 09 Apr '11

09 Apr '11

Hi all! We've seen quite a few references on the list to "100% binary compatibility with upstream". What I am curious about is, how precisely is this determined? All the ways I can think of for comparing how two systems might work seem flawed in some way (e.g., using some sort of checksum; unit testing; verifying build parameters). I did some searches both at centos.org and google, but couldn't find anything specific about the test(s) used to determine compatibility. I have no particular reason for asking, other than wanting to be able to explain it to others if someone asks me. --keith -- kkeller(a)wombat.san-francisco.ca.us

CentOS 5.6 updated packages - what about subversion?
by Greg Bailey 08 Apr '11

08 Apr '11

I see the following in the CentOS 5.6 Release Notes: 6.3. Packages that have been upgraded in 5.6 since the 5.5 release * python-2.4.3-27.el5_5.3 Wouldn't subversion also be listed? CentOS 5.5 has subversion-1.4.2-4.el5_3.1 CentOS 5.6 has subversion-1.6.11-7.el5 Is this list generated automatically or is it maintained by hand? -Greg

Many thanks and a little hint concerning httpd on 5.6
by Olaf Mueller 08 Apr '11

08 Apr '11

Hello CentOS developer team, thank you very much for the release of CentOS 5.6. I have upgraded my server, notebook, netbook and workstation from 5.5 to 5.6 and everything works really fine so far, CentOS 5.6 seems to be rock solid. The only little problem happens on the upgrade of my server, since my web server doesn't start after reboot. But this was easy to fix since this error was known from the RHEL 5.6 upgrade. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=669963 I am grateful for the CentOS Project. I like it's stability and long-term support. regards Olaf

large memory usage by perl .so modules?
by E R 08 Apr '11

08 Apr '11

Under Centos 5.5 on an x86_64 box I am seeing large memory usage associated with perl .so modules. Example: this script: #!/usr/bin/perl use Time::HiRes; open(SMAPS, "/proc/$$/smaps"); while (<SMAPS>) { if (m/^\d/) { chomp($lib = (split(' ', $_))[5]); } elsif (m/^Size:\s*(\d+.*)/) { my $size = $1; print "$size $lib\n" if ($lib =~ m/HiRes/); } } produces this output: 24 kB /usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/Time/HiRes/HiRes.so 2044 kB /usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/Time/HiRes/HiRes.so 4 kB /usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/Time/HiRes/HiRes.so What is this 2044 kB entry? On a 32-bit Centos 5.4 box the same script emits: 20 kB /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/Time/HiRes/HiRes.so 4 kB /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/Time/HiRes/HiRes.so The 2044 kB entry seems to be counted towards memory usage as reported by ps. Thanks!

I wonder if you you have better luck installing GRUB on the HDD MBR, booting from the HDD and using grub to load the kernel and initrd off the USB stick. What you have to do is tell it no bootloader, then before you reboot at the end of the install, use <f-2> or whatever to get to another screen, then... lessee, I forget if it's mounted the install as /mnt/sysimage or not, but mount your /boot on the h/d, chroot, edit /boot/grub/device map so it shows HD 0,0, and then grub-install /dev/sdb (or whatever). Then when you reboot, you should be ok; if not, linux rescue, and do all that. mark, who wishes upstream would *offer* the option of other than /dev/sda or track 1 of this drive....

/etc/hosts not resolving hostnames
by Johan Martinez 08 Apr '11

08 Apr '11

I have modified /etc/hosts file with IP address and hostname entries. However, host command is returning 'Host vhost1.example.com not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)'. Also, apache is returning error on start as '[error] (EAI 2)Name or service not known: Could not resolve host name vhost1.example.com-- ignoring!' . The ssh worked fine and resolved the hostname correctly (ssh from same system to itself - just for test). Am I missing something here? I thought /etc/hosts will be referred for all lookups. Any help?? jM.

Exception error with 5.5 installation
by Kaplan, Andrew H. 08 Apr '11

08 Apr '11

Hi there -- I am trying to install the 64-bit version onto one of our servers. When I get to the point of loading various software packages, I normally select KDE desktop, and also make sure that CentOS extras is also selected. Once that is done, I click on Next to have the installation continue. Every attempt that I have made has resulted in an exception error occurring with the python packages. As a result, the installation fails. I have not been able to install CentOS since this problem started occurring. Does anyone know of a way I can get around this problem? Thanks.
