Sorry I didn't quote the reply from Christoph Maser... was on another machine. Anyhow, this is the complete yum output with rpmforge.repo active. # yum update Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities, protectbase Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * rpmforge:

Open Letter to Lance Davis
by R P Herrold 06 Aug '09

06 Aug '09

I seem to be having network and email issues tonight; please excuse any duplication -- Russ herrold -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 HTML dump on Thu Jul 30 00:30:33 EDT 2009 http://www.centos.org/ Open Letter to Lance Davis July 30, 2009 04:39 UTC This is an Open Letter to Lance Davis from fellow CentOS Developers It is regrettable that we are forced to send this letter but we are left with no other options. For some time now we have been attempting to resolve these problems: You seem to have crawled into a hole ... and this is not acceptable. You have long promised a statement of CentOS project funds; to this date this has not appeared. You hold sole control of the centos.org domain with no deputy; this is not proper. You have, it seems, sole 'Founders' rights in the IRC channels with no deputy ; this is not proper. When I (Russ) try to call the phone numbers for UK Linux, and for you individually, I get a telco intercept 'Lines are temporarily busy' for the last two weeks. Finally yesterday, a voicemail in your voice picked up, and I left a message urgently requesting a reply. Karanbir also reports calling and leaving messages without your reply. Please do not kill CentOS through your fear of shared management of the project. Clearly the project dies if all the developers walk away. Please contact me, or any other signer of this letter at once, to arrange for the required information to keep the project alive at the 'centos.org' domain. Sincerely, Russ Herrold Ralph Angenendt Karanbir Singh Jim Perrin Donavan Nelson Tim Verhoeven Tru Huynh Johnny Hughes - ---------------------------------- This document clearsigned with the key indicated and of record at the customary keyservers See: http://orcorc.blogspot.com/2008/08/gnupg-few-minutes-on-using-detached-and.… user: "R P Herrold <herrold(a)owlriver.com>" 1024-bit DSA key, ID 9B649644, created 2003-02-09 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFKcSQKMRh1QZtklkQRAqIFAJ96+UzMm7O0/JanMcYYqnX+UPJhMwCeOoL9 s83yIVHOmbcASgmb4hE8GRY= =2Yg2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Serious bug in OpenOffice.org Calc shipped with CentOS
by Niki Kovacs 06 Aug '09

06 Aug '09

Hi, Until now I've been a happy user of CentOS. Everything just works(tm), and I don't care if application versions are slightly outdated. Next week I have to give a series of classes for a company that recently made the switch to Linux. On schedule is a one-week course for Writer and Calc. And right now I discover that one crucial function of Calc, "fill series", doesn't work. Let's say I type "lundi" (monday) in one cell, so I can pull Calc's handle to fill other cells with the days of the week. Doing the same with "janvier" (january) does so with the names of the month. Well, this function is broken in OO shipped with CentOS. And I don't have the slightest clue as to why. Tried the same on a more recent version of OO in Ubuntu, and it works like a charm. Anyone has a solution to this? This seems like a major nuisance to me. Cheers, Niki

How come rpmforge.repo wants to install a whole slew of perl modules, yet if I leave rpmforge.repo out of the update process, none of the perl modules shows up? Here's the rpmforge.repo file.. do any of yall see anything wrong with anything in there?

Cmake on Centos

Have folks been using Cmake on Centos5 without issues? I have installed an RPM for it, but I've been running into some apparent configuration issues. -geoff --------------------------------- Geoff Galitz Blankenheim NRW, Germany http://www.galitz.org/ http://german-way.com/blog/

German Centos/Linux Group in Cologne/Bonn/Aachen
by Geoff Galitz 06 Aug '09

06 Aug '09

It seems there are a number of Centos users in the Cologne/Bonn/Aachen area of Germany. If there is not one already (and please let me know if there is!) I'd like to start a Linux User Group (including Centos) for this area. I'm way down in Blankenheim, though. Would someone like to volunteer a location? I envision alternating meetings between the three cities if possible... just to make it fair for everyone who has to travel. I'll even propose Friday August 14th for our first meeting. Any interest? -geoff --------------------------------- Geoff Galitz Blankenheim NRW, Germany http://www.galitz.org/ http://german-way.com/blog/

kvm in Centos 5.3
by Kanwar Ranbir Sandhu 06 Aug '09

Hi All, Is KVM support in CentOS 5.3 complete? That is, can a CentOS 5.3 system host KVM VMs or does CentOS 5.3 only support being virtualized via KVM? I ask because I installed KVM on a CentOS 5.3 host, but I can't find a kvm module anywhere in /lib/modules/* (let alone the running kernel).

Autorun ability on cd?
by James B. Byrne 05 Aug '09

05 Aug '09

I have a little niggling situation that I would like to resolve programmatically. I use Git as my SCM and I have release branches which are sometimes patched. I find myself sometimes entering the working directory tree forgetting that I was last on a release branch and not on the master. What I would like to do is to have a script run every time that I enter a directory, check for .git, and if it finds it then simply do a git-branch for me so that which I am on is forcefully pointed out to me before I proceed to do something foolish. All I can come up with from searching wrt cd is details on why one cannot change the working directory of a running script and various kluges around this. I do not wish to change the pwd of the shell, I just want some way of testing for a certain file and running a specific command if it is found when I enter a working tree. If this requires testing every directory that I cd to then I can live with that. If instead one can put a script that runs only when one enters certain directories then I can live with that as well. Is there any way to do this? -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.
