Guidelines for CentOS Mailing List posts
...ay trimming of emails as well and
maybe link to examples on Wikipedia of top-posting and bottom-posting.
Newbies aside, there are guys still top-posting who have ignored polite
offlist messages not to top-post. Its not the time to be nannying people
over how to behave on mailing list.

Hiding Files in Samba
...but I though
putting "hide files = /~*/" as follows in the
samba config file would hide files with a tilde.
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
writable = yes
hide files = /~*/
Unfortunately after restarting the server the files
are still visible.

CentOS 4 update backlog
...CentOS (4 and 5)
and it looks like the CentOS 5 ones have been rebuilt
and rolled out. How come the CentOS 4 branch lags behind,
or are the CentOS 5 devs different from the CentOS 4 devs?
If more volunteers are needed I'm sure assistance could
be offered by the CentOS community.

Missing CentOS 4.7 update?
...cludes fixes for the following bugs:
* tmpwatch unnecessarily reported a "No such file or directory" error
whenever a file was deleted before tmpwatch accessed it. In this updated
package, tmpwatch correctly no longer reports such errors, thus resolving
the issue.

Proposed New Mailing List
...ailing lists, long time users are put off by the
flood of posts by newbies who don't even conform to the list
guidelines. Some pay back by not replying to those in violation
without as much as a hint.
Would a new list really solve anything or would it close
one door and open another?

Missing grub functionality on CentOS 5
There's grub 0.97 on CentOS 5. The manual at
http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/index.html says it is
for 0.97. However, it mentions for instance a program grub-set-default
that is not present in grub-0.97-13.2. It also mentions grub.conf options
savedefault and fallback. Are these available in the CentOS grub?
I tried with savedefault and it does not create a

Suggested yum priorities settings for 3rd party repos
...=N (where N is > 10 and
based on your preference)
If you have rpmforge, kbs, epel all set up at 10 then wouldn't
those also potentially overwrite each other if the same package
exists in all of them?
Who has got several 3rd party repos and what are your yum priority
for those?

Desktop Choice Centos 4/Centos 5 or Fedora 9
.../5 and Fedora 9 on a laptop.
I have not use CentOS 5 on a desktop but have used
CentOS 4 and Fedora 9. I found the Fedora Gnome not
as appealing as the CentOS 4 clearlooks. Any opinions
from someone who has used CentOS 4/5 and Fedora?
I'm not a KDE fan so KDE users need not reply.

Stop the FUD Xen is not deprecated
...y and is currently working on further integration work
between the Xen hypervisor and the Linux kernel.

As far as CentOS is concerned saying Xen is deprecated is
jumping the gun. CentOS ships with Xen and as long as upstream
supports it, CentOS by extension supports it.

Fasttrack Repo on CentOS 4
...e with upstream so
fasttrack is "more important" in this regard than contrib.
Upsteam ships with the main channels as well as fasttrack.
As CentOS includes the repos in one repo file rather than having
separate files, this tradition should be considered for fasttrack
as well.

What happened to the CentOS Docs?
...also had a look on the CentOS forum and the
forum FAQ still links to the above location.
Example
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/docs/html/rhel-rg-en-4/s1-grub-installing.html
Not everyone uses IRC/Forum/Developers mailing list so
for the benefit of others, what happened to
the docs?

Enterprise Package Tracker
Is there a utility such as rpmfind that exists for enterprise
rpms? One could locate rpms from various repos e.g.
- Centos base, extras, plus
- EPEL
- RPMForge
- KBS repos
Due to the requirement of a subscription, upstream or others
like Oracle Unbreakable linux couldn't be listed.

yum and /etc/redhat-release
Hi - I used yum to update CentOS 4.6.
After the reboot after the upgrade, the file
/etc/redhat-release still indicates I'm at
CentOS 4.6.
The lastest release of CentOS 4 is CentOS 4.7.
So how do I use yum to upgrade from 4.6 to 4.7?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Centos 4 Yumdownloader vs yum-downloadonly on Centos 5
...dd the functionality of the
yum --downloadonly feature in Centos 5 from the yum-downloadonly-1.1.10-9.el5
I was replying to Peter Kjellstrom
http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2008-November/068300.html
as the original thread was about yum --downloadonly not present
in centos 4.

PHP5 on CentOS4.7?

Does anyone know if CentOS 4.7 will support PHP5 natively? I have
