Hello Gabriel,

Thank you for offering to help with the translation, it is appreciated.

A Wiki HomePage has been initialised for you [1] and I have now given

Could not confirm this. Can someone confirm?

Here are some modifications that are required since the spacewalk yum 
repository split between server-side and client-side packages:


Section 7.2: Channel configuration
- add a configuration example spacewalk-client for i386

Section 9.3: Create a new kickstart profile
- replace the spacewalk-i386 string by spacewalk-client-i386


Grammar review:

Section 11.2:
*TIP:* You can force Spacewalk to recognize the OSA status of a client. 
To do this, go to the web interface and browse to the host overview page 
of the client. On the right side of the page, you will see a section 
displaying the OSA status of the client. Sending a ping to the client 
will update its status to 'online'.

Hi,

 Do you recall at the tail end of last year you said Go ahead, it's
 there (hey, other people here also *could* do this) =:) and I
 replied, in response to your parenthesised comment,  We like to make
 *you* feel wanted! :-P [1]?

Hehe.

 As a result of that exchange, I attempted to set the acl on the
 spacewalk page to allow Hugo to edit it. Unfortunately I am not
 allowed to adjust the acl -- so it's back to you.

 If you would like me to do this sort of task in the future, as implied
 in [1], perhaps you will please adjust my powers accordingly. :-)

Okay. I was under the impression that people in the EditGroup are
allowed to at least edit ACLs - this does not seem to be the case. As
there are a few pages on the wiki with closed access to just a few
people, I cannot really elevate you to the next higher group - nothing
personal, I wouldn't elevate others either. Looks like I need to feel
wanted until we can cough up another solution (or enable EditGroup to
edit ACLs it has read access to). Some delving into the ACL model of
moin is needed, it *should* be able to do that.

Thanks anyway,

Ralph

It's not really about that. I would think that there are more non

English and it is frankly rude to them to deliberately make their

 If that is what makes this special (meaning installs alongside things
 from CentOS), then a longer document about the repo would be needed, as
 to what can happen - or won't - when you have 2 pythons on the machine, etc.

I think there was a film around that topic called SOAP [1]
I recall that the machine was an airplane.
And you see what happens when you have too many pythons on one
machine. Everyone just dies :)

Honestly its intended for professionals. If you have no idea what you're
doing you probably should not be using 3rd party repos at all. By the
way a lot of these questions are answered on the website, for example at:
http://iuscommunity.org/faq/

I'm also sending an email to their mailing list so maybe you can have
some official replies.

 In any case, can I be approved for the wiki and add my personal
 page? I won't edit the AdditionalResources/Repositories unless
 there's some sort of consensus.

 Yeah, sure. Done.

Hello all,  sorry if this gets posted twice... I didn't see it post so I joined

There are significant warnings about using IUS from our FAQ:

 Thats just noise. There are a lot of people who do source builds as 
 well, and we strongly discourage people from using that process.

I kind of lost track of the significance in this statement.  IUS has nothing to 
do with source installs.  IUS actually is partially geared towards providing 
proper packagers for users that would otherwise be doing source installs to get 
the latest versions of software.


 My question is - why did they not consider actually doing this with the 
 project or even talking to anyone within the communities.

Consider what exactly?  I assume you mean requesting that our repos be added to 
the CentOS wiki?  If that is what you mean, there isn't any reason in 
particular.  We have had other users suggest that we look into it... and 
frankly, I had planned on it however you have to note that I am the only IUS 
Core Developer at this time and have to prioritize my work.


 Rackspace are the typical leecher commercial vendors feeding off the 
 CentOS pool, with little or not desire to even consider contributing any 
 level of effort or time back into the project. To me, thats a big deal.

I don't exactly follow what you're so hostile about.  If you read the content 
on our site it is very clear that we have a very specific audience and that is 
people who absolutely need the latest upstream versions of software for RHEL.  
How are we feeding off of the CentOS pool by providing alternative software 
that just so happens to work on CentOS (we package for RHEL specifically)?  If 
you read the site, you will also see that IUS is not a service or product of 
Rackspace... it is simply sponsored by Rackspace meaning that they allow me to 
give something back to the community, for free, during my $dayjob.  How does 
that equate to Rackspace leeching off CentOS?


 Also, what is it that the 
 IUS repo does that isnt available on the other regular 
 non-commercially-backed repositories ?

It seems that you didn't spend much time looking into our project at all before 
making assumptions about it per the comments above.  If you are really 
interested at all in what IUS is you should take the time to check it out 
before raising negative opinions about it.

 They definitely provide packages from a different philosophy. For

Actually, I need to correct you here Josh.  Packages are either 
Conflict/Replace or Parallel packages.  Everything in IUS conflicts and 
replaces (Provides) the associated package in RHEL except for Python which 
is a parallel installable package.  We've attempted to explain this at:

http://wiki.iuscommunity.org/Doc/ClientUsageGuide#Information_on_IUS_Packages


 What are they doing in regard to python? Install alongside? Break the
 python on the machine (I'm not really inclined to test that at the
 moment)? What's with php (oh my god, another php-current source)?

As mentioned above, Python is a parallel install package.  We have python26 and 
python31 available.  We also provide python26-setuptools, and 
python31-distribute so users can easy_install to the proper site-packages 
directories for that version of Python.  We did this _explicitly_ to give users 
a proper path to upgrade python and _not_ break system python.

For the record, [a big] part of our work with IUS is contributing back to the 
upstream vendors who are ultimately our closest 'partner' with regards to our 
goals.  We offer any and all contributions to the communities that we can, 
whether it be to upstream vendors... or Fedora, EPEL, RHEL via our TAM, or 
CentOS.  Please don't generalize us with the rest of the 'commercial leechers' 
out there unless you fully research what you're talking about.

Thanks Josh for bringing this up with the CentOS community, and thank you all 
for your time.  I'm not on this list, so please be sure to CC me if you wish to
