CONFIG_ARPD turned on in centosplus kernel.
Alan& Akemi,
Would it be possible to get CONFIG_ARPD turned on in the
centosplus 6.x kernel? It is required to use opennhrp.
See the link below where is was decided to turn it on in Fedora.

I've used LVM on servers with hot-swap drives to migrate to new storage
without downtime a number of times. Add new drives to the system,

why are warning be treated as errors?
Hello,
I am trying to compile RHEL-6 kernel srpm on Fedora 14 and run into the following problem. From what I read
-Werror flag causes warnings to be treated as errors - but I don't see that flag on in the following. Any ideas?
gcc -Wp,-MD,arch/x86/kernel/acpi/realmode/.wakemain.o.d -nostdinc -isystem /usr/lib/gcc/i686-redhat-linux/4.5.1/include -nostdinc -isystem

createrepo command for 6.4 respin
Hi List,
I have been searching for the correct createrepo command to make a 6.4 respin.
We have been doing this with previous versions using
createrepo -u "media://$discinfo" -g ${DIR}/my_kickstart${VER}/comps.xml .
Which had worked fine until now.
Thanks,
