Some people don't know how to conduct themselves on usenet and mailing lists. Despite the mailing list guidelines being crystal clear about no html posting and not top-posting we have people still doing so. People still use text-readers to access the mailing list so you could be denying access to these people by flouting the mailing list guidelines. This is an example of top-posting

Has anyone built an rpm for xboard for CentOS 4? I looked in the EPEL repo, KBS repo and rpmforge but none exist. The KBS repo has gnuchess in testing but what good is gnuchess without xboard? As usual the fedora SRPM for Fedora 6 and Fedora 9 cannot build on CentOS 4- they might build on CentOS 6 but i have no time machine :). -------------- next part -------------- An HTML

I have a choice of CentOS 4/5 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. Regards, Vandaman.

OT Mailing List Spam This might be slightly off-topic but as the source of spam is probably a spammer getting emails from this list, I reported him and his service provider should cut off his/her ugly head. I got an email of the classic 419 scam from a "El Amir Assadallah" <rdjir001 at eircom.net>. This has just come if from the abuse department :- Dear Vandaman, Thank you for

In the yum priorities page on the wiki Akemi Yagi suggests http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities [base], [addons], [updates], [extras] ... priority=1 [centosplus],[contrib] ... priority=2 Third Party Repos ... priority=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

Off course people are going to ask. In my opinion as long as a topic is marked OT, it is preferable to one not marked but one in which the OP has not even done basic research on his problem.

I don't log into the CentOS forum, CentOS chat but I don't know why the docs were removed from http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/docs/ I 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

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. Regards, Vandaman.

I posted on the squid-users mailing list and also CC'd the upstream developer in case he wasn't subscribed. He replied and updated his page on http://people.redhat.com/mnagy/squid/ You can follow the full conversation at http://marc.info/?t=122908476200005&r=1&w=2 Are there any plans for any other squid versions in CentOS plus? Any other repos/sources you know of with EL4/EL5

I may need a strong shot of coffee 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. Regards, Vandaman.

There are security updates upstream for 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. Regards, Vandaman.

Unless I'm mistaken, does it look like Centos 4.7 is missing an update released on December 3rd 2008? Upstream details :- http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2008-0989.html An updated tmpwatch package that fixes various bugs is now available. The tmpwatch utility recursively searches through specified directories and removes files which have not been accessed in a specified period of time.

A quick question on the fasttrack repo which is now up to date with upstream. Why is the fasttrack repo not in the main CentOS-Base.repo file but contrib which has never had anything is included in the main CentOS-Base.repo file? The goal of CentOS is to be binary-compatible with upstream so fasttrack is "more important" in this regard than contrib. Upsteam ships with the main channels
