There has been a notice of a breach (see: CVE-2007-4752) as to some binary content upstream of CentOS. I do not address that matter here beyond stating that the CentOS team have responded to the matter, and will continue this review process: updated 22 Aug 2008 CentOS acknowledge CVE-2007-4752 and are reviewing our build and signing processes and hosts for signs of tampering subsequent

Some threads just go on too long. Personally I think a troll has hijacked the main centos list again and is inducing food fight behaviours while that troll perfectly 'innocently' asserting that it is just respoding to all email. see: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4216011961522818645 for a discussion of the problem of 'capture' in FOSS projects. But if one loses

I responded to a post in the Dell poweredge mailing list earlier today. My answer was off the top of my head, with a bit of experimentation. The content may be useful in the Cenyos context as well to admin's looking to strip the size of an install to the bare bones. Comment welcomed. Can anyone see any packages which I have missed? -- Russ Herrold ---------- Forwarded message

You're definitely missing bits of texlive. Lots of "missing file: mf" in your debug logs. I think you need to start with installing texlive-metafont. Alternately, there are pre-built R 3.6.2 packages for EL-7 here: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=1421894 I cannot push them as official updates to EPEL because of the catch-22 created by R's dependency on

Hey, I am in the process of trying (and convincing my colleagues) to learn/setup selinux as we switch to 6.0... Quick question: do I really "need" to install the setools/setroubleshoot packages or can I live without them?? They want to install 80 packages (gnome stuff, gstreamer, gtk, tcl/tk...) and I would like to avoid installing all sort of graphical tools/libs on my lean

Hi list, I'm trying to create an asterisk 1.8 rpm with SRTP.
