I am aware of this option, but it would be only a last resort, because checking the format of the config file is error-prone. I would prefer RPM to tell me the old and new version numbers,

Hello, we have installed non-repository based software on our centos servers (e.g. vmware tools). Each time we do 'yum update' we have to run several scripts to check if these software works after update. Sometimes we forget ... It it possible to configure any sort of triggers which will run automatically after 'yum update' ? I'd like to avoid writing shell wrappers for yum

Well normal convention would be if you replace then the old one gets appended with .rpmsave, if you are not replacing then the new one gets appended

I see in CentOS 7 that /etc/localtime is a symlink (which seems sensible...) but in earlier versions it is a copy of some file from under /usr/share/zoneinfo. rpm -q --scripts tzdata does not show any postinstall script, so in the non-symlink versions, how does the copied /etc/localtime file get updated with new zone data? -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com

I can get the kickstart command line with /proc/cmdline it looks something like xxxxx ks=http://192.168.1.8/ks/ks.cfg xxxxxx in the %pre sections of my ks.cfg I was wanting to extract the IP from the ks= part. I was going to utilize the "tr" command but its not available in %pre. how can I go about extracting the IP address from with in the %pre section I was going to do something

Hello, I have summarized the topics for the IO controller mini-summit and written the ideas seen in the mailing list. - The place where IO controller should be implemented - Block layer in conjunction with the IO scheduler - Common layer right above the IO scheduler - CFQ enhancement. - Both block and common layer, users can select whichever controller they want. - VFS layer -

Hi All, We will hold a Linux IO controller Mini-Summit in Tokyo, Japan on Saturday, Oct. 17, 2009 -- day before the 9th Linux kernel summit. This is a good opportunity to meet face-to-face to discuss issues and directions for developing IO controller. Details of the summit are still sketchy, so suggestions for agenda topics are welcome.

Hi, I just came across this annoncement, which is particularly interesting as it is only 25 min away from my place... :-) Anyway, I guess the core of this is targeted at developers mainly.

Folks, Regarding the Virtualization BoF, Ted Tso clarified that the remaining BoF sessons would just be scheduled on paper at OLS. We only need to use a scheduled BoF slot if we want to use a room there, I guess, else we can schedule at any free time and use a corridor or pub. Available BoF slots are only Friday evening, note. Since I don't believe the Xen team is available Friday evening,

Aiming at a release later in October (before Xen Summit I would hope), I''d like to cut RC1 next week. Please indicate any bug fixes that so far may have been missed in the backports already done. Jan
