subversion 1.6.9 and sqlite 3.6.22
by Benjamin Franz 04 Feb '10

04 Feb '10

I'm in the process of setting up subversion and since the version packages with C5 is, shall we say, showing its age, I've built an updated version. In order to do that I had to upgrade sqlite from the default 3.3.6 (which the current subversion will not build with) and I went with 3.6.22. Has anyone else had any experience with whether or not that breaks anything? I'm a little nervous because sqlite is used all over the place (rpm, X11, apache, yum, selinux, system-config-*, various perl modules, gnome, gimp, php, and so on). -- Benjamin Franz

Good > luck. > Hi Brent, Thanks for taking the trouble to reply to me personally. I'm using CentOS 5.3 on my PC simply because that's the latest version which I had downloaded and burnt to CDs! I'm afraid I'm a bit slow in keeping up with the fast-moving development of CentOS and am always a bit reluctant to rebuild/reinstall the operating system on my PC. However, I thought that 5.3 was sufficiently up-to-date for my purposes, but was disappointed when I found that neither the wifi on my laptop nor skype on my PC worked properly! I'm now using Ubuntu 9.04 on my laptop which seems to work brilliantly and is very user-friendly. I'm thinking of using Ubuntu (server edition?) on my PC, after years of using RedHat and CentOS, because as a 'semi-tech' user (and great supporter of linux) I do like the user-friendliness of Ubuntu! Best regards, Andy

Logrotate in CentOS 5.4 more brutal (to httpd at least) than in 5.3?
by Christopher Thorjussen 03 Feb '10

03 Feb '10

I've just updated a few CentOS 5.3 servers to 5.4. One of them were a Apache Webserver. Doing a diff/check on the new ".rpmnew" config files that are made, I saw that the logrotate command for apache was changed. In 5.3 it did a reload, but in 5.4 it does a hard kill: CentOS 5.3: /var/log/httpd/*log { missingok notifempty sharedscripts postrotate /sbin/service httpd reload > /dev/null 2>/dev/null || true endscript } CentOS 5.4: /var/log/httpd/*log { missingok notifempty sharedscripts postrotate /bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/httpd.pid 2>/dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true endscript } Isn't this a bit harsh in 5.4? Wouldn't the 5.3 method be better? -Christopher Thorjussen

So, something is strange. <snip> I was just talking to one of the researchers here who's built it, and pointed out the completely obvious (once he pointed it out): the "<blank> not a dynamic executable" tells you that that piece, at least, is statically linked, *not* dynamic.

VMware Workstation 7.0.x and CentOS 5.4
by Akemi Yagi 03 Feb '10

03 Feb '10

VMware Workstation 7.0.1 Release Notes has a list of supported OS: http://www.vmware.com/support/ws7/doc/releasenotes_ws701.html According to that, RHEL 5.4 is listed as supported for both host and guest but CentOS 5.4 is only for guest. This is quite strange and, if it is true, that could be a serious issue. If you have VMware Workstation 7.0.x, could you tell us what you find? Did you encounter any problem when running CentOS 5.4 as a host? Thanks to nikkilocke who reported about the above release notes in the CentOS forum. Akemi
