[CentOS] "yum update": When is new header data downloaded? (Trying to set up custom repository...)
I'm trying to set up a custom rpm respository for some in-house software, and configure a number of CentOS 5 clients so that they may install and update the software in question from the location in question. I think I've mostly figured out how to do this - I've successfully installed software on one of the clients via "yum install " after adding an URL of the form ftp://myserver/pub/ to the list of repositories, and uploading 1. A directory containing the packages. 2. A "repodata" directory generated by createrepo. to the appropriate server location. But then I wanted to see if could publish an upgrade, too, so I did, on the server-side: 1. Updated the release number in my rpm spec files and rebuilt. 2. Put the rpms on the right location. 3. createrepo -q --update And on the client yum update Problem is, this did nothing besides printing the message: No Packages marked for Update So I thought the repository hadn't been properly updated, but then I tried (still on the client): rm -rf /var/cache/yum/ yum update And, hey presto, the package was upgraded to the new version. So, it seems like I managed to correctly update the repodata and all, but originally, yum concluded that it didn't need to download a new version, but could use the one cached earlier. instead. Does anyone have any idea why this happened? How exactly does yum decide when to download new headers and when to reuse cached data?

So only the download time of the data matters, and not the server-side update time? It nearly makes sense then, although the original install was done more than 1h before the update. But maybe the headers were downloaded again after that via yum-updatesd or similar? A delay of 1h from the repository update to the client can upgrade may not actually be a problem, as long as we know about it...

[CentOS] Samba and file permissions
A problem that has plagued me for a long time (finally decided to get some expert help) is setting the owner/group on directories/files I create with samba. Here is my situation: On my Linux/Apache I have a user, smith. The /home/smith directory is owned by smith and is part of the group, todd (me) with permissions 775. This works fine until I create via samba a directory in smith e.g. /home/smith/test. The directory is owned by todd and smith cannot create a file in it. What have I missed and how do I fix it?

If you want to do timelines and Gantt charts for management views, planner is probably good, but if you want more low-level, direct access to something like software coding you'd want to glue together a version control system and bug/feature tracker combination like subversion and trac or git and redmine where you can control both the project itself, the discussion directing its changes/development, and follow the status of completion. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Most systems have features that are most helpful with text files where they can show meaningful diffs between versions but they do work even with binary files and can still show histories with comments given for each commit - and they provide a reasonable transport for a group to access and update copies. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
