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 -

Dear Samba support team, I have a question on Samba 3.5.8 please, which is not solved by searching the forums. I tried all suggested solutions, but nothing take effect. Situation: - small public school - We have Ubuntu Server 11.04 64-bit - Samba 3.5.8 as PDC - Windows XP and Windows 7 Pro SP1 clients - On Windows XP everything works. Login is quick and reliable there. Problem: But

I am inquiring on the list if anybody knows if the latest plus kernel includes the fixes for MD RAID-1 where it didn't pass down the BIO_RW_SYNC flag on cloned bios. This bug was discovered in December by the DRBD project and patches were posted by Lars Ellenberg from that project to the LKM which were then merged into the 2.6.19 kernel. The bug causes severe performance penalties for

Hi, Small correction there. Example 4 of section 2 (how to use XFS with CentOSPlus kernel) says you should use this configuration line in [centosplus] section of yum: includepkgs=kernel* xfs* dmapi* However, the XFS module's package name is kmod-xfs*, so I believe it should actually be: includepkgs=kernel* kmod-xfs* xfs* dmapi* I did this on a system of mine, and in the first case it did

To me, there seems to be growing support to requiring PHP 5.2 within the next year, see http://www.gophp5.org/ . Does anyone know of plans to release PHP 5.2 RPMS in any of the major repos? -- Sincerely, John Thomas

While trying to get my SD card reader to work with CentOS, it was recommended to me that I update to the centosplus kernel. I attempted to do so using yum, as was recommended, but I encountered the following error: [root at localhost ~]# yum --enablerepo=centosplus update kernel Repository update already added, not adding again Error getting repository data for centosplus, repository not

quite possibly more a yum question than a centos question, but i'm a bit confused about the difference between listing "available" packages versus "updates" packages. short example -- listing what the yum man page suggests should be "available" for installation, restricting myself to centosplus: $ yum list available --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=centosplus ...

Hello List, I have a regular install of centos 4.4 i386 (lately updated to 4.5), a new application needs mysql > 5.0.x The natural way to do this was: yum --enablerepo=centosplus update mysql However, after all the dependency / transaction checks.. i get this..

Is there a centosplus repo I can use with apt-get, or do I have to rely on yum for centosplus?

Hello, First of all thanks to the poster on the wiki for centosplus. I've configed it added include and exclude lines, do i need the centos-priority plugin? I want to enable centosplus to use the centosplus kernel and the centosplus webstack. Below are my base, updates, and centosplus repo definitions. I'm getting an error when i do a yum update that a dependency for postfix

The lasted version of Postfix in the OS for 4.5 add a .1 to the rpm version which makes it newer than the CentOSPlus version and hence replaces it, any intent to update the 4.5 CentOSPlus package or should I roll my own with mysql included? 4.5 OS Version: postfix-2.2.10-1.1.el4.i386.rpm 4.4/5 CentOSPlus Version: postfix-2.2.10-1.RHEL4.2.mysql_pgsql.c4.i386.rpm Thanks Brent -- Brent

Is it possible that the kernel in the centosplus repo is not up to date ? The centosplus kernel I have is kernel-PAE-2.6.18-238.5.1.el5 and the regular one is 2.6.18-238.9.1.el5... I need the plus because of the firewire drivers. Regards,

Anyone working on the updates for php to the centosplus repository and an eta? The php5 stuff is the only thing I use out of the centosplus repo.

Hi All, we've run into a problem with the xfs component in the centosplus kernel (2.6.9-34.106.unsupportedsmp) where synchronous writes sometimes fail with EAGAIN. It's causing headaches for DB2 installs and for our database research group. There is a fix reported at: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-xfs&m=110808122904352&w=2 ...that's supposed to take care of

On CentOS 5, the current centosplus kernel doesn't want to play with the kmod-gfs package (because kmod-gfs wants the stock kernel): # yum install kmod-gfs gives me: Transaction Check Error: package kernel-2.6.18-8.1.14.el5.centos.plus (which is newer than kernel-2.6.18-8.1.14.el5) is already installed Should it work, or is there a separate centosplus build that I've not

Hi, https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2005-586.html backported to compile agaist CentOS-3 level software. This is my bad.

I've been using Postgresql 8.1 on CentOS X86/64 for a about a month, but the RPMs seem to have vanished from CentOS Plus!

hi, it'd be useul if the centosplus and contrib directory can contain a small readme file or some kind of documentaion about the rpm inside. currently there is not any kind of such docs (ok johnny send a description about the kernel rpms, but if someone missed that email). eg the postfix rpm has the same description and changelog inside the rpm as the original ones. if someone just look into

Hi folks: Firewire was not supported in 4.0 due to the upstream provider not including it. Is it in 4.1? Or is it still out of the mainline upstream kernel provider? What about centosplus? Centosplus has been listed as unsupported. I presume this means that they are/were one-off builds with missing functionality (e.g. xfs, etc), and are not updated. Is this the case? I am looking
