The CentOS Plus version of Firefox was released because of the decision
upstream to disable ffmpeg.

The newest upstream release re-enabled ffmpeg, so the CentOS Plus
version is no longer needed.  Use the latest firefox in updates now.

OK, I see. The ffmpeg support is reenabled now 
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1330898).

Agreed. This is what I do on the systems with NVidia cards, and I want
kmod-nvidia - I have include= in the /etc/yum.repos.d/elrepo.repo.

Then, to protect production systems from "update everywhere!!!", in
/etc/yum.conf, *just* on those systems, I'll have thinks like
exclude=httpd,kernel. When I have my maintenance window to really update,
I do a yum update --disableexcludes=all. Gives me a fine-grained control.

Having been bitten by this on several occasions I finally adopted the
policy of using the -- includepkgs= -- option and specifically naming
the packages that I want from a non-standard repo; and also using --
exclude= -- in the standard repo naming exactly the same packages as
those included elsewhere.  You can use globbing in the package names
in both cases.

It is a little more work to set up but it is a lot safer to my way of
thinking, particularly where there are multiple sysadmins involved.

Doing this means you won't get notified of updates in that repo. This is

Hello Mauricio,

I understand. For systems with a few packages from Epel this is
my favored technique. Epel has a lot more packages that overlap
or interact with base repo packages, if I'm not mistaken. But
for my CentOSPlus repository use case, I leave the repo enabled
in the config file; forgetting to re-enable it could leave these
systems without neccessary drivers. As the repository contents
is desired _in total_ over the base packages, there's no down
side for this use.

  Why not leave all the extra repos disabled, say

sed -i -e 's/^enabled=1/enabled=0/' /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo

and manually enable it when you need to get a package from said repo:

yum install -y libmcrypt --enablerepo=epel

I've had the CentOSPlus repository enabled for CentOS6 for more
than a year with no problems. I don't recall reading anything on
this mailing list or IRC suggesting that enabling plus caused
issues with updates. 

The CentOS wiki warns "Enabling this repository makes CentOS 
different from upstream. You should understand the implications 
of this prior to enabling CentOSPlus". Essentially this is a
reminder that the CentOS community has no appetite for supporting
slightly non-standard configurations (a very reasonable stance).

If you need the extra hardware driver modules available with
Plus this shouldn't stop you from running a Plus kernel.
Just be prepared to reproduce any problems using a stock
kernel (which you can still select at boot) if you need to
resolve an OS issue with help from others.

The only vhanged packages in the CentOS Plus 6 repo are the
kernel (kernel, kernel-abi-whitelist, kernel-doc,
kernel-firmware, kernel-headers, kernel-devel), the kernel
performance utilities (perf, python-perf), and postfix.

For detailed differences of the "Plus" kernel see:
https://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/CentOSPlus?action=show=Repositories%2FCentOSPlus#head-a94637ae716c01023f633e8b5fb840f555f6d378

The kernel-debug package has never been built for the centosplus

Hi Akemi,

We have a remote unit that has been crashing and I wanted to collect the dump. 
We can't use the latest
kernel because it breaks multicasting with gres. We use OSPF over multiple gre 
tunnels and the
.358 kernel is the latest one that works correctly.

I have tested the crash setup and it seems to work ok without having the 
kernel-dump rpm installed so
it doesn't seem to be absolutely necessary. Maybe only if you have a limited 
amount of memory.

Regards,

 Karanbir is away this weekend. Can other dev push it? Johnny? Tru?

It's not that urgent, it's just that yum sees that the update from the 
regular repository, and I ended up with no external drive to my backup 
storage server and it took a while to figure it out...

You might want to add an exclude=kernel* in [updates] to keep yum from 
sneaking up on you like that.

 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.

I thought that firewire was finally backed into the stock RHEL kernel a few 
revs 
ago at least as a 'technology preview'.  Maybe you have to do something to 
enable it.   I used to use the centosplus kernel for that and reiserfs but 
haven't used those drives for a while.

If it is the classic stack of firewire drivers that are required, and
there is nothing else needed from the centosplus kernel, a good
solution is to get the kABI-tracking firewire modules from ELRepo:

http://elrepo.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=kmod-ieee1394

It provides:

dv1394.ko
eth1394.ko
ieee1394.ko
ohci1394.ko
pcilynx.ko
raw1394.ko
sbp2.ko
video1394.ko

Because they survive kernel updates transparently and you can run the
distro kernel, there will be no waiting for each kernel update.

I will try that on monday.

Yum shouldn't have deleted your running kernel in the update.  It should just 
be 
a matter of changing the default to boot in the grub config if you want to run 
the old one a while longer.

No, it didn't, but on reboot, it booted the non-centosplus kernel, the one

It's not exactly because it is more up to date - the install process edits the 
new one in as the default in grub.conf.  You can still interrupt the boot 
screen 
and pick the one you want, or edit grub.conf to make the older one the default.

If you enable the kernel from the CentOSPlus repo, you should *disable*
kernel updates from the standard repo, otherwise yum will get updates
from *both* places.  By disabling the kernel packages from being updated
from the standard repos (os and updates), yum won't update to a non
CentOSPlus kernel -- if the CentOSPlus has not been pushed to the
CentOSPlus repo, you just won't get a new kernel at all.  (Eventually
when the CentOSPlus does get pushed, yum will pick it up.)

This is best done by using the exclude= option as detailed in:

Oops - I am using i386 not x86_64 and it appears you only have re-compiled the

that is what I am assuming looking at the dates and the fact the i386 kernel 
did not work in regards to the new

Odd. I did build both arches. x86_64 was re-rebuilt after the i386
version, which is why it has a newer date.

I will go back to the drawing board and make sure the patches are in place.

I have built the latest version of cplus kernel with the patches

available as  'kernel-devel-2.6.32-71.24.1.el6.centos.ayplus.1'  from:

Steve, could you please test this kernel? Looks like this is going to
be the first patch set added to the C6plus kernel.

I just finished building a kernel based on
kernel-2.6.32-71.18.2.el6.src.rpm. I hand applied the patches. Like you said
one applied clean the other applied with a fuzz offset of -36 (IIRC). I am
installing now to test.

My rebuild was simply cp the /boot/config-2.6.32-71.18.2.el6.i686 to
.config;make oldconfig;make rpm

That is why I was asking about the proper way.

I have just installed the kernel and will now start testing.

Great. Please keep us posted. If the patches work as expected, they
will be a worthy addition to the cplus kernel.

As a general rule probably not. I did examine the result of the patched files 
and verified they
looked OK. I guess I could cp'ed the files that were affected, then applied the 
patch by hand then ran gendiff against the
new and the old to get a new patch, but in the end it is the same thing, other 
than having to turn on with_fuzzy_patches.

Hi Akemi,

Two questions:
1) Is there a step by step documentation on rebuilding the centosplus kernels 
that includes what the environment should be.

2) Is it possible to get upstream patches from newer kernels included or must 
on do it themselves.

I am specifically interested in the following 2 patches that let linux behave 
according to
Basic Requirements for IPv6 Customer Edge Routers
  draft-ietf-v6ops-ipv6-cpe-router-09

The current kernel-2.6.32-71.18.2.el6 does not have these patches - which 
prevents using it as
a customer edge router for ipv6.

From: Thomas Graf
Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: add special mode accept_ra=2 to accept RA while 
configured as router
Date: Friday, September 3, 2010 - 5:59 am

The current IPv6 behavior is to not accept router advertisements while
forwarding, i.e. configured as router.

This does make sense, a router is typically not supposed to be auto
configured. However there are exceptions and we should allow the
current behavior to be overwritten.

Therefore this patch enables the user to overrule the if forwarding
enabled then don't listen to RAs rule by setting accept_ra to the
special value of 2.

An alternative would be to ignore the forwarding switch alltogether
and solely accept RAs based on the value of accept_ra. However, I
found that if not intended, accepting RAs as a router can lead to
strange unwanted behavior therefore we it seems wise to only do so
if the user explicitely asks for this behavior.

Similar to accepting router advertisement, the IPv6 stack does not send router

This patch enables this behavior to be overruled by setting forwarding to the
special value 2.

This post has led me to lots of information about the CentOS build 
process and makes me offer the following comment:-/


PLEASE ALL - have a look around the wiki and bugs - there is heaps of 
information about the status of the various build processes and even how 
to do it yourself - at least from a getting started level - I'm sure 
once one gets into it there would be some questions, but just like here 
- if one shows what has been tried, and the specific problem 
encountered, and what attempts have been made to resolve the problem - 
then help would be available to assist you in the forward direction.


Rather than making a nuisance and noise on the lists and expecting 
digested sound bites to appease your thirst for information from the 
folk that do the work - go have a look.


It is readily apparent that the build process is very reliant upon 
having all one's ducks in a row and one minor version change in a 
dependent source file means the output will not be the binary match with 
the upstream provider that CentOS delivers. Thus the process gives new 
meaning to the word iterative.


My thanks to all those doing the painstaking work of making it work 
right the first time - I for one, am not detail oriented enough to do 
this kind of work, and so I suspect are many of those on this list.
Please do not get discouraged by those who lash out on the various forum 
but accept this heart felt THANK YOU from a long time user that 
appreciates all that you do.


I see comments about not being able to rely upon CentOS for business use 
- I beg to differ, I use CentOS for my business and am very satisfied 
with the quality of the product.
There are certainly some business uses where the time-frame of the 
CentOS build process is a problem - if that is the case then there are 
alternatives - they do cost money.
Pay your money and make your choice - no money...accept what is 
CentOS and see if there is somewhere you can contribute to a very 
informative and helpful infrastructure - preferably in a polite and 
positive manner.

Thanks for reading.

 I just finished building a kernel based on
 kernel-2.6.32-71.18.2.el6.src.rpm. I hand applied the patches. Like you said
 one applied clean the other applied with a fuzz offset of -36 (IIRC). I am
 installing now to test.

 My rebuild was simply cp the /boot/config-2.6.32-71.18.2.el6.i686 to
 .config;make oldconfig;make rpm

 That is why I was asking about the proper way.

 I have just installed the kernel and will now start testing.

Great. Please keep us posted. If the patches work as expected, they
will be a worthy addition to the cplus kernel.

You *can* run the distro kernel inside a vm.  The CentOS bug entry
referred to by the original poster explains in great details why a
kernel with 100hz clock rate (kernel-vm) gives you improved
performance compared to the distro standard kernel (1000hz) and
handles clock drifts better.  Recent distro kernels offer a new kernel
option divider= that lets you reduce the clock rate.  This should
eventually eliminate the need for the kernel-vm.  However, at the
moment, the divider= option has a bug that causes problems when it is
combined with clocksource=pit.  And the timer pit is often used when
the system clock tends to go faster.

[CentOS] Centosplus kernel does not have framebuffer support?

2008-04-16 Thread Alfred von Campe 
I'm still using CentOS 4.6, but have been planning an upgrade to  
CentOS 5 for quite a while.  One of the things that was holding me  
back is that the CentOS 5.0 kernel did not have the framebuffer  
support enabled by default.  So I waited for CentOS 5.1.  However, on  
one of my test systems I ran into the bad NFS performance issue (see  
CentOS bug 2635), so I plan to use the centosplus kernel.  However,  
it appears that this kernel does not have the framebuffer support  
enabled -- arrgghhh!


So, is this just an oversight or is there a reason for not enabling  
the framebuffer support on the centosplus kernel?


Alfred (who really wants to upgrade to CentOS 5 but cannot live with  
the NFS performance issue and does not want to build his own kernel  
RPMs)

Re: [CentOS] Centosplus kernel does not have framebuffer support?

 I'm still using CentOS 4.6, but have been planning an upgrade to CentOS 5

 So I waited for CentOS 5.1.  However, on one of my test systems I ran into
 the bad NFS performance issue (see CentOS bug 2635), so I plan to use the
 centosplus kernel.  However, it appears that this kernel does not have the
 framebuffer support enabled -- arrgghhh!

  So, is this just an oversight or is there a reason for not enabling the
 framebuffer support on the centosplus kernel?

  Alfred (who really wants to upgrade to CentOS 5 but cannot live with the
 NFS performance issue and does not want to build his own kernel RPMs)

I confirm that the centosplus kernel has the framebuffer support disabled:

# CONFIG_FB_VESA is not set

I don't know how this has happened but am sure we will hear from
Johnny Hughes :-D

You have another choice here if you would rather not wait for the next
update of the centosplus kernel.  The standard kernel with the same
NFS bug fix is available from:

http://people.centos.org/hughesjr/kernel/5/

I have just checked the kernels in there; they do have the framebuffer
support enabled.

That should mostly work ... the only problem is that there might be some 
perl* things in centosplus that might not SPECIFICALLY be part of the 
new web stack and they will also be taken from the plus repo.


It should not make a huge difference though.

Actually, it did not work. I had to remove the mysql package first 
before I could get the yum update to run. It complained of conflicts

[CentOS] centosplus + priority plugin

2008-01-30 Thread Christopher Chan 
I have a Centos 4 box that has been updated all the way to 4.6 without 
using the centosplus repository.


Now I want to use the centosplus repository for Centos 4 to get the 
latest LAMP, mod_perl, perl and other perl modules so that I can install 
rt 3.6.6 and its necessary modules.


However, for some reason, the latest perl package in the centosplus 
repository does not appear on the radar when I run yum check-update. Has 
anybody ran into this and get around the problem?


Contents of yum.conf and Centos-Base.repo and output from yum

[CentOS] centosplus kernel question

I noticed a new upstream kernel was released yesterday and now wondered 
how long until the corresponding version of the centosplus kernels are 
updated?

Since the Base and Updates repos are:
priority=1

And since the CentOSPlus repo is:
priority=2

You will need to set perl (and any other items you want from CentOSPlus
to overwrite base and/or updates repo) to exclude= in the base repo and
the updates repo.

HOWEVER ... the perl in CentOSPlus is part of the CentOS Web Stack ...
and you need to use all the pieces of that together if you want to use
any of it ... see this guide:

http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories/CentOSPlus/CentOSWebStack


 
 Actually, looking at the yum list output, it looks like the current
 version installed is of the i386 architecture, while this machine is
 x86_64?  Is that the problem?  If so is it safe to install the i386
 package?  Is there an easy way to do this via yum?

It depends ... you can use i386 or x86_64 or both.  Adding this:

%_query_all_fmt %%{name}-%%{version}-%%{release}.%%{arch}

to a file called ~/.rpmmacros will allow you to do:

rpm -qa | sort

and see what i[3,4,5,6]86 and x86_64 packages are installed.

You need a newer kernel :D

 I'm begining to think the previous admin made some poor decisions on
 this server...

[CentOS] centosplus repo updates

2007-07-20 Thread Dave 

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 libmysql is not satisfied. I would have thought that would have 
been pulled in by the include mysql* option pulling in mysqlclient?

Thanks.

You don't have to use priorities ... but I would.

The centos webstack is a centos-4 thing ... the versions in centos 5
base are already near the c4 webstack versions.

For those curious, since the devs haven't given an answer yet to the
future of the Postfix with MySQL in CentOS Plus, here is the patch to add
the MySQL support back into Postfix that I used in case anyone needs it. I
might have messed up the naming but I tried to pick something relevant
that wouldn't be later confused with what they would do too much.
