I saw the link someone posted to SL (Scientific Linux) yumex rpm's. I grabbed the SRPMS, changed some references from SL to CentOS in the spec files and rebuilt the RPMS. I managed to get yumex up and running by manually configuring yumex.conf. What is the use of the yum-utils and the dozen or so utilities? Are there any docs? (Bearing in mind my hack may have damaged the SL installation)

RPMS's rebuilt or upstream one's used Hi I got a cleanly reinstalled 4.2 workstation. However i still needed to build the following SRPMS from Mandriva/Fedora :- - Chkrootkit - Logcheck - Tripwire - Xboard & Gnuchess - Rkhunter I needed to use the upstream versions of :- - OpenOffice.org 2.0.1 - RealPlayer Gold - Acrobat Reader I needed to tweak Bind chroot to log queries and

I think Jim (the other one) is doing a marvellous job with extras and plus but he needs to expand the size of his tent. A sensible package policy in extras/plus repo will mean fewer temptations to install 3rd party repo's that can break your system. Some of the packages i would like to see are :- - MySQL 5 rpms - php 5 rpms (already provided) - Open Office 2.0 rpms - webmin - rkhunter -

Some of the other RHEL rebuilds take one or two days, while CentOS takes 2 weeks. While i can't say if they have more than a hundred users, their speed in releasing quarterly updates is commendable. Technically CentOS is not the slowest, as Whitebox takes the wooden spoon but you get the general idea. :) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?

Hey dudes, I've got a centOS 4.2 (clean reinstall) workstation and a Samba mount in my home directory where "c:\uploads" is a XP Home directory mounted as ~\uploads in my home directory. The file 'letter9feb.txt' exists in 'c:\uploads\fd\complaint' which i created from the smith box. I cannot save the 'letter9feb.txt' as it says its being used. Error

I hadn't visited the centos forum for a long time and spotted http://www.centos.org/modules/smartfaq/category.php?categoryid=7 Whilst it may not compare in content to the faq's of fedora/ubuntu at http://easylinux.info/wiki/Fedora it is a step in the right direction. The right additions to the FAQ may see a reduction of the frequently asked questions on the centos list.

To celebrate CentOS as the greatest thing since sliced bread, we should endevour to have a new logo in place. Whilst the current one suffices, a new logo/favicon should be in place. My artistry skills are not good (i was eating hotdogs whilst the rest of the class learned fine art), so those of you artistically endowed should come up with something.

I'm subscribed to the Nahant list and noted someone complaining about the IBM version of Java. Whilst his problems would probably disappear by using the official Java from www.java.com, my question is what is the list of rpms in the extras ISO/channel? I know licencing and so on may mean they cannot be redistributed but i just wanted to know if I'm missing out on anything.

Hi, Just a quick note to see if anyone else noted the changes in yum in the updates. I've disabled thhe new format until i can verify if it works? As i rebuilt yumex from Scientific Linux (RHEL SRPM rebuild) and i have not enabled centosplus i don't wanna mess my system. I don't believe you can browse the new mirrors. __________________________________________________ Do You

How many of you have tried out the KBS CentOS Fedora Extras rebuilds? In my case i enabled his misc and extras repo on a test machine and - it proceeded to install apt that nuked the dag and centos list files. - It also installed a very new version of wine, wine-devel and wine-tools that broke my wine apps. the centOS rpms from winehq work like champs. The winetools 0.9.3 rpm as linked from

Hey dudes, Nice work by the CentOS team in giving us arguably the best distro in the world. When is update 3 coming out? What changes are expected in it? The reason i ask is that i applied the openoffice.org 2.0.1-1 rpms and now WINE is not playing so nicely. It may be a good time to re-wipe the system and reinstall update 3 from fresh ISO's. some of these "goodies" from upstream

On the Mambo CMS site there are vulnerabilities found. Whilst this is not a CentOS problem, people rent/deploy servers (CentOS) on the net with Mambo. A guy in one of the user forums on the net, had his Mambo 4.5.2 server hacked and they installed some interesting stuff in /tmp . When a server is hacked it gives bad PR for the underlying OS. <----announcement on

While update 3 was released last week, it looks like there are 40 or so packages updated. I dunno about squid, it is listed on http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/rhel4as-errata.html but the changelog is from October 2005 (unless it is an rhel only bug). audit-1.0.12-1.EL4.i386.rpm audit-libs-1.0.12-1.EL4.i386.rpm audit-libs-devel-1.0.12-1.EL4.i386.rpm bootparamd-0.17-21.RHEL4.i386.rpm

I rebuilt rkhunter-1.2.8-1.noarch.rpm by using the spec and tgz from the rkhunter site (www.rootkit.nl). (I rebuilt it using his instructions.) However rkhunter does not do an md5 check. The box used to have fedora and each time there were updates it would complain that the some of the md5's don't match. I contacted the author using his contact feature on Wednesday but he hasn't
