Look at the examples that come > with Yam. There is no need to copy the file from the ISO files. I'll try that again. The first time I tried it, I was intending to share the repo with nfs and the ISO mounts caused problems with that. I've since switched to http. But shouldn't there be a way to do this with the directory? I thought that was what the file:// format was for? -- Bowie

convert files with ghostscript to tiff gets black page with xview
by Jerry Geis 15 Sep '06

15 Sep '06

I am using oowriter to just type a couple lines, export that as PDF, use ghostscript to convert to tiff then view with xview and my page is all black. I use the command to convert to tiff. gs -q -sDEVICE=tiffg3 -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -r204x196 -dNOPAUSE -sOutputFile=/tmp/faxme.g3 -- file.pdf xview /tmp/faxme.g3 The resulting file size is 9788 for faxme.g3 Have I done something wrong? I would have thought that would work. Thanks, for any suggestions. Jerry

yam help
by Bowie Bailey 15 Sep '06

15 Sep '06

I am trying to use yam to create a repo based on the 4.4 CDs. I have copied the contents of the CDs to /var/dist/CentOS-4.4-i386. No matter what I try, yam always creates an emtpy repo. This is my current yam.conf file: [main] srcdir = /var/yam wwwdir = /var/www/yam arch = i386 [centos] name = CentOS $release ($arch) release = 4 arch = i386 metadata = repomd os = file:///var/dist/CentOS-4.4-i386/CentOS/ And this is the directory structure after running 'yam -ug': /var/yam /var/yam/CentOS-4-i386-disc4.iso /var/yam/CentOS-4-i386-disc2.iso /var/yam/CentOS-4-i386-disc3.iso /var/yam/centos-i386 /var/yam/centos-i386/os /var/yam/CentOS-4-i386-disc1.iso /var/www/yam /var/www/yam/HEADER.shtml.yambak /var/www/yam/README.shtml.yambak /var/www/yam/HEADER.shtml /var/www/yam/README.shtml /var/www/yam/centos-i386 /var/www/yam/centos-i386/RPMS.os /var/www/yam/centos-i386/RPMS.os/.sha1sum /var/www/yam/centos-i386/RPMS.os/repodata /var/www/yam/centos-i386/RPMS.os/repodata/filelists.xml.gz /var/www/yam/centos-i386/RPMS.os/repodata/primary.xml.gz /var/www/yam/centos-i386/RPMS.os/repodata/repomd.xml /var/www/yam/centos-i386/RPMS.os/repodata/other.xml.gz /var/www/yam/centos-i386/RPMS.local /var/www/yam/centos-i386/RPMS.local/.sha1sum /var/www/yam/centos-i386/RPMS.local/repodata /var/www/yam/centos-i386/RPMS.local/repodata/filelists.xml.gz /var/www/yam/centos-i386/RPMS.local/repodata/primary.xml.gz /var/www/yam/centos-i386/RPMS.local/repodata/repomd.xml /var/www/yam/centos-i386/RPMS.local/repodata/other.xml.gz /var/www/yam/centos-i386/HEADER.shtml.yambak /var/www/yam/centos-i386/README.shtml.yambak /var/www/yam/centos-i386/HEADER.shtml /var/www/yam/centos-i386/.title /var/www/yam/centos-i386/RPMS.all /var/www/yam/centos-i386/README.shtml It simply will not copy or link the RPMs from my distribution directory.

Shrinking a volume group
by Steve Bergman 15 Sep '06

15 Sep '06

I did something stupid when setting up a server which is now live. I think I'm stuck. I set up swap on Raid1 which is decidedly non-optimal. I'd prefer 2 independent swap partitions at the same priority. Here is the set up: /dev/sda1 + /dev/sdb1 -> md0 (raid1) md0 -> VolGroup00 VolGroup00 -> VG00LV00(/), VG00LV01(/home), VG00LV02(swap) I've gotten as far as : Turning off swap and removing LV02. Next step would be to shrink VG00. But it looks like you can only shrink a volume group by removing entire PV's. I only have 1 PV. So I think I'm stuck. Any ideas? Thanks, Steve

RPM Packaging
by Bruno Sousa 15 Sep '06

15 Sep '06

Hi there, I would like to make a rpm file, with some programs that i use, but arent included in CentOS. Can anybody point me a document or something as a starting point in order to make my own rpm? The programs can be in tar and rpm files. So I would like to get them all in one rpm package. Best regards, Bruno Sousa
