Hi, In the advent of RHEL5 and CentOS 5, I've been rebuilding the RPMforge packages for EL5. You can find these at the usual location[*]. A few points though: + Not all RPMforge packages are available at this time + If you find a package that you need and isn't there, please do look at the buildlogs and send me instructions on how to fix this specific build. (Saves us time

When I am looking for a package that does not exist under rhel5, is it better to get rhel4 or fc6? -- Thanks http://www.911networks.com When the network has to work

hello, I'm going to try this question again. The first time I botched it and the answers I got were useless. I want to use rpmdevtools to help with some packaging chores. There is no C5 version that I can find. I've located an SRC RPM in a location that is known to be C5 compatible. There are 2 versions of rpmdevtools:

I've been using Red Hat and its derivatives since RH4.2. I use Fedora Core 6 for all of my desktop machines, but I decided to go for Centos 5 for my new colo web server. So I've just taken delivery of a new Centos 5 virtual server from Bytemark (http://bytemark.co.uk/) and I'm trying to get it set up with all the RPMs that I'm used to from FC6. As I understand it, the Centos

Hi, I am looking for gnumeric rpms for CentOS5. Any suggestion? -- Thanks

Hi, I was wondering, rhel5/centos5 is 686, but when I went to http://dag.wieers.com , the packages for rhel5 are either 386 or x86_64. Why? Should I recompile them for 686 or is it a waste of time or it makes no difference or... -- Thanks http://www.911networks.com When the network has to work

Hi all, The CentOS community is pretty limited in what we can do to the core distribution. Since our mantra is "aiming to be 100% compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux" we cannot fix bugs or improve the CentOS core without waiting for Red Hat to make those modifications first. We have limited leverage and a 6-month release cycle against us. But that is not the complete truth,

I''ve succesfully installed FC6 domU under RHEL5-beta2 dom0 with virt-manager. I could open a graphical vnc console from virt-manager with no probs and use domU''s gnome desktop. After few days of running the guest I''ve updated it with yum and been using it mostly via xm console. Now I tried to use the graphical console, but all virt-manager was telling me was: "The

After a successful installation of CentOS5 beta, I "successfully" crashed the system twice already. This is caused by a known bug in the cifs kernel module. The patch became available in January: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/sfrench/cifs-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=8e6f195af0e1f226e9b2e0256af8df46adb9d595 FC5 and FC6 are running the patched kernel but, unfortunately,

I'm most likely going to make the hop from FC to CentOS in the next several months, and wonder whether I should wait for CentOS 5.

Some time ago i sent to the list a problem i was having with facts on fedora core 6 and wasn''t able to find a solution at that time, but with the release of RHEL5 and CentOS 5 based on fc6 i have hit the problem again. i have written several facts to collect information about a clients network and i am also using the vmware fact from the wiki. i have separated my original fact into

Hey folks, It looks to me like the httpd on CentOS is stuck at 2.2.2 - what's up with that? Even after a yum upgrade. I need 2.2.10 or greater, and would prefer to get it via yum or at very last an RPM if at all possible. But I cannot even find an RPM out there. For some reason both EPEL and Dag Wieers do not even seem to have an httpd RPM for RHEL5 Any idea where to look? Why are we

Hello, I apologize if this isn't quite the right spot to ask, but I did some googling on fc6, rhel5, centos5, terminal closings, etc and came up blank. Three times since I installed CentOS5 on this machine (11 days ago), I have had ***all my my terminal windows spontaneously exit***. For example: just now, I have a CD playing, firefox open with a few tabs, and emacs open. I also had ~5

Hi All, The subject says it all. I'm asking because I've found Fedora 9 to be buggy as hell - it is one of the worst Fedora releases I've ever used (and I've been using it since Fedora Core 1). I'm putting up with it for my work laptop, but it's not fun. :( My main home machine is still on Fedora Core 6 and will stay there until CentOS 6 comes out. I don't want to
