www.clamav.net update
by Email Lists 08 Aug '06

08 Aug '06

Greetings I was informed on another list about this... im not a serious programming or exploit creation expert yet this appears to me to be fairly serious..... For those of you that have not heard about it, there has been a www.clamav.net update to 88.4 I roll my own rpms so I don't wait for upstream on this one... and for all I know they have dealt with it already... Anyways, FYI Thanks and kind regards, - rh -- Robert - Abba Communications Computer & Internet Services (509) 624-7159 - www.abbacomm.net

i386 and x86_64 depsolver issue with Seamonkey
by Johnny Hughes 08 Aug '06

08 Aug '06

CentOS uses the yum dependency solver for doing updates and not the RHN (normal) up2date mechanism. That is functionality built into up2date. Due to this difference, there is a problem with the Seamonkey upgrade to replace Mozilla using up2date on CentOS-4, because it does not see Seamonkey as obsoleting Mozilla. (This is a problem with the yum depsolver that is included in up2date). Due to this problem, to upgrade from Mozilla to Seamonkey use this command from the command line instead of up2date: yum upgrade seamonkey ------------------ Yum is the official upgrade tool for CentOS. If you are currently using up2date, you should consider switching to yum as this is not the first issue that up2date has had when doing "obsoletes" type updates. Thanks, Johnny Hughes

Yum w/o direct connect
by Ted Miller 08 Aug '06

08 Aug '06

I am hoping someone else is already doing what I need to do, and can give me some pointers. Situation: 1. I am running Centos 4.3 x86_64 on a machine at home, without broadband access. I have dialup access, but that doesn't work very well for something like "yum update", so I am still running 4.3 as issued on the CDs. 2. I have high speed access at work, and I have a USB drive to move files from work to home. Proposed solution (other than get broadband): A. Make a "pretend repo" on the hard drive of home machine by: 1. Install yum "index" file for each repo in directories at home. Use rsync via dialup to keep those repo "indexes" up to date (after initial install). [A sample rsync command line would be helpful.] 2. Persuade yum to give me a list of packages (that I need to download in order to execute a package install or update) and capture that list in a format that I can feed into rsync (at work). 3. Have a way to separate package list into three categories: a. Packages already in correct version my local repository. b. Packages needing an update in my local repo. c. Packages I need to download wholesale. 4. Have a way to copy packages needing updates to USB drive. 5. Take list of packages to work, and use rsync to transfer/update the packages onto the USB drive. 6. Bring USB drive home and dump contents into local repo. 7. Run yum to do the updates. I think this is how to do things in general terms, but I could use a good bit of help in coming up with some scripts to automate/semiautomate the process. I think #3 may be the hardest one to automate. Anyone doing this? Anyone good with rsync and yum, and care to give me a starting point, even if your try is untested? Console approach is fine (GUI OK too), but I am new to yum (moving from Mandriva), and have used rsync a few times successfully, but am no master at it. Also, I have 4 install disks. Which repos are on those disks, and which repos are on which ones? Do any of them include CentOS Plus? Ted Miller CentOS 4.3 x86_64

Lock ups: recent, anybody else?
by William L. Maltby 08 Aug '06

08 Aug '06

Yesterday, did the following. Two lockups since then. Recent freetype had just cured some anomalies and now this. One lock while I slept, the other a few moments ago while active at the KB. Had Evolution, Firefox and T'bird open among two users on a single X console. No unusual stuff. Desktop install, fully up-to-date 4.3, i386 (Athalon). 1) see anything wrong below? 2) I'm seriously thinking of trying to back out Seamonkey and reinstalling mozilla (I've no idea what my chances are). Why? Because it was the single biggest change to the system and is therefore auto-suspect! TIA for any help/reply!

What's the difference between Linux-HA and the RedHat Cluster suite. Is the RH Suite just a packaged version of the freeware Linux-HA? -- Prasad Pillarisetti "If everything is coming your way, then you are in the wrong lane"

Subversion how-to section added to the wiki
by Max H. 07 Aug '06

07 Aug '06

Hey everyone, I added a very very simple how-to for getting Subversion running on CentOS (locally and across Apache)...basically aimed at a newbie that's never touched svn before. Let me know if anything is out of whack, needs changed, or if something isn't right. I did go through and actually follow it with an install, so it should be good. <http://wiki.centos.org/SubVersion> Max

Seamonkey
by Bart Schaefer 07 Aug '06

07 Aug '06

I saw the latest update announcements on the announce list, so I ran "yum check-update" and did not see seamonkey in the list. Which I guess makes sense, since it's a name change from mozilla. However, devhelp is in the list, and "yum update devhelp" pulls in seamonkey as a dependency. This seems like a sort of backdoor way to get seamonkey onto the system. Did these packages really come from the upstream this way? What if I had not had devhelp installed? Do I need to replace mozilla or not? Aside to Dag: The galeon package from rpmforge has an version dependency on the specific mozilla package that's being replaced by seamonkey (rather than a greater-or-equal dependency), so it's not presently possible to install both seamonkey and galeon with yum.

How to convert RHEL 4 system to CentOS
by James Marcinek 07 Aug '06

07 Aug '06

Hello Everyone, I have a RHEL4 system that I would prefer to leave on the current hardware and not have to rebuild if possible. Can some tell me if I can take my current distro of RHEL and move it to CentOS? What will I need to do, etc and how risky is it? Thanks, James Marcinek
