I meant the actual implementation, I knew it would be GNOME Classic. This beta release is awful. I lost count of how many devel packages were missing now, I think I had to rebuild over 20 of their source rpms to get them while I was toying with Cairo Dock. Not to mention that desktop, 4 ways to close an app - that's awesome!

I'm happy and very willing to help bootstrap the process. Also worth keeping in mind is that this would be a 'derevative' of the core CentOS Linux and it wont just be CentOS Linux 7/i686. That gives us a few easy wins : we dont need to port the entire package set, and we can selectively make changes to things like the installer ( to work around the xfs issue, however looking at the code briefly, we dont / wont have the xfs issue anyway, the installer is smart enough to work around on i686 ). There would also be implications on how we do the release work, but the main issue at hand, that needs to be solved before we even consider this as a group : who's stepping up to do the work involved. Off the top of my head, this is going to need a team of 5 to 8 people doing stuff 'in odd hours' or a couple of people working on this as their primary focus. - KB -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

That's a bit different, Linux never had 16 bit support, but is still perfectly usable on a 32 bit arch. I understand RedHat dropping 32 bit support for this release, the needs of RedHat customers are different to those of CentOS users, when you fork out a few grand for a server license it's not such a big deal to get a new server to go with it. That said, it may not be very difficult to build the sources for i386, and I personally don't see any reason why CentOS can't or shouldn't. The 32 bit arch will be in a separate repo to the 64 bit, so won't interfere with upstream compatibility, and CentOS likely already has the infra in place to do a 32 bit build from prior versions. Since Fedora still fully supports 32 bit, right up to rawhide it's reasonable to assume that the RedHat sources should build to 32 bit without too much fuss.

That hardware is a big improvement over the current ALIX series with Geode LX800s. Gotta wonder where they come in on the pricing scale? Time will tell. ;-) Thanks for sharing. *If you purchase one I'd appreciate a review. :-)* And to think I've been eyeing up the Ubiquiti Edge Routers [0] (but they're $99 USD as opposed to nearly $200 USD or more for whatever the new APU series will be). But the ERs are MIPS-64, etc so I'd run the EdgeOS or _maybe_ Debian (or anything else that supports that arch -- I've not done much research as I prefer x86/amd64).

That makes sense. I will try removing them and see how it goes (any

I actually do not think you need these, these were all caused by the

Unfortunately I've misplaced the audit logs and report of the problem,
but this is the policy I had to add:
module mypol 1.0;
require {
type unconfined_t;
type sshd_net_t;
type kernel_t;

The NetworkManager in F19/20 (and EL7) is a vastly different beast with most of the reasons for disabling it in EL6 (bonding, bridging, vlans, etc) no longer being an issue. Remember that the standard network service is literally source the relevant ifcfg-*, rule-* or route-* file and then using the variables just sourced run shell scripts calling ip addr, ip link, ip route, ip rule, etc to get the system into the state you want. One of the drivers behind systemd in the beginning was to avoid arbitrary shell scripts configuring the system and resulting in the potential for confusion with selinux contexts and inherited environments when directly run by a user... With NM handling the connection the correct details are obtained and then through the netlink APIs the interfaces configured as per the state desired without shell scripts and forking all over the place...

NetworkManager is fine... on a laptop, where you're going to be moving it from network to network. For a wired network - that is, for any server (remember the "Enterprise" part of the name?) - it's utterly unnecessary. And it wall worked fine before NM.

Right, but core should be just the bare minimum. NetworkManager is certainly not required to configure your network, in fact el7 runs just fine without it.

Fedora, and RedHat, apparently feel that NetworkManager is the way to go. As I never use it, I'm not sure if they ever fixed the fact that it can't handle bridges. To me (and I admit I'm an aging grouch), it's the sort of thing that RH has a bad habit of doing, taking things that aren't necessarily bad for something like Fedora, aimed at a single user laptop, and putting it into their system which is often used as a server.

This would be something that they had to do on purpose, so I'm quite sure that it will be a waste of time to file a bug on it. It does mean that assuming that CentOS updates Xen4CentOS for CentOS 7 you'll need to once again supply the kernel for the dom0 as you can't get away with just using the stock RedHat one. On the bright side the kernel does have dom0 support and will just require a config file change to enable it, so the dom0 kernel can be just a rebuild of the stock one and not require a completely different kernel as is now the case.

No, it's with CRCinAU's stack, actually, and mainly because I was running this server before Xen4CentOS was released. Oh I forgot to mention the other issue, I'm running it under pvgrub (and it works fine with a normal grub.conf file, btw, no need to install grub2 that way), and I had to regenerate the initramfs, the one supplied with the kernel did not come with the xenblk and xennet drivers installed.

I've installed RHEL7 onto a Xen VM running off a CentOS 6 host. I used yum to do the install as opposed to installing from the ISO so I've got a bit of a unique perspective on it. Anyways, I'll probably file a few bugs along the following lines: The core group includes NetworkManager and postfix, neither should be core packages and should be excluded from a core or minimal install.

However, we are still going to - slowly maybe - get a CentOS-7 beta build going, so that CentOS users can start testing their depoyment strategies, start writing docs at wiki.centos.org, start doing migration testing etc so that when CentOS-7 comes around for release, its not all a big surprise. The reason I say slowly, is because I would like to build a more open and more inclusive process that allows a larger audience to help build and promote the resulting distro. Lots of ideas at this point, the coming weeks should see some of them firm up into a process.

Yes, but experience shows it takes about 6 months after the beta release, so I expect it for ~June. CentOS 6 has been released in November 2010, so it will be 3 years and a half after this.
