The idea that the Devs are the only ones who do any real work on the project is complete BS. It was the *users* who put all the hard work into implementing CentOS and building up the usage numbers, not JH and the CentOS project Devs. Also, based on this post where JH throws around the numbers [1], one can only assume that the real reason behind keeping the dev process closed is to maintain the egos of those on the inside -- since all avenues of logic seem to have been exhausted. // Brian Mathis [1] http://www.mail-archive.com/centos@centos.org/msg69365.html ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

My suggest to the devs is to change the name and update the website and then there is no pretense. Name change will never happen, though, as it is a valued brand now. I bet you if you did a rebuild off of CentOS, they would make you take out all references just like RH do. The attitudes against any user who has a question about releases significantly undermines the project and is a slap in the face to everyone who has chosen to support and proselytize CentOS throughout the years. The idea that the Devs are the only ones who do any real work on the project is complete BS. It was the *users* who put all the hard work into implementing CentOS and building up the usage numbers, not JH and the CentOS project Devs. Also, based on this post where JH throws around the numbers [1], one can only assume that the real reason behind keeping the dev process closed is to maintain the egos of those on the inside -- since all avenues of logic seem to have been exhausted. I have it black and white in a private email from JH that he would never give me sufficient information to start a competing rebuild. I have long since concluded that the devs do it for their own reasons and certainly not for any altruistic reasons. // Brian Mathis [1] http://www.mail-archive.com/centos@centos.org/msg69365.html ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] yum update after fresh 5.6 install fails
Hi, I just finished installing a CentOS 5.6 x86_64 system and the first thing I wanted to do after the install is to apply the software patches. But I get the following error when I try to run 'yum update': Package libuser-0.54.7-2.1.el5_5.2.x86_64.rpm is not signed and yum update exits without applying any of the patches. I tried clearing the cache and re-running the update command but I get the same error. Any help with this would be much appreciated.

Yes, that's what I thought too about not disabling gpg. yum info on the package reports that the update is coming from the 'updates' repo, and that repo is configured to be: [updates] name=CentOS-$releasever - Updates mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releaseverarch=$basearchrepo=updates #baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/updates/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5 This is all the default settings from a fresh install; I'm not aware that anything changed in these configs. If this package is not signed, then I guess other people should be able to reproduce the problem if they point to the default repos, right?

As for those asking for transparent process, my only conclusion is that they want to find out how they can recreate RHEL so they can create a fork of CentOS. And that is happening because they are not competent enough (or lack money/time) to do it on their own. Why haven't they got all information from Scientific Linux? If SL is better and faster with releases, then they should ask SL devs to give them access to their machines, or to publish their entire build system. I have not seen that happening so far. Why? Also, are you aware that RHEL 6.0 itself is very late? Info from wikipedia: - RHEL 2 - 3 took 18 months. - RHEL 3 - 4 took 19 months. - RHEL 4 - 5 took 25 months. - but RHEL 5 - 6 took whooping 44 months. - CentOS delay for 3.1 was 5 months, - CentOS delay for 4 was 1 month, - CentOS delay for 5 was 1 month, - CentOS delay for 6 is currently 5 months and counting, So if for RHEL took almost 2,5 times the amount of time to release new version (6.0), why is there so much fuss about CentOS team taking it so long to untangle the web Red Hat produced, including parallel releases of 4.9, 5.6 and 6.0, an 85 percent increase in the amount of code from the previous version, and initial delay of publishing SRPMS?

It sounds to me like your big beef is that you can't run the CentOS distribution the way *you* want it run. Whether you agree or not, doesn't change the fact that CentOS *is* enterprise ready.-- and many enterprises use it. The only time there are significant delays in patches is when the CentOS team is rebuilding a point release. Sure that's far from perfect, but it's something those who use CentOS have learned to work around. Some of them use Red Hat Enterprise Linux on their critical servers. There are other options, Oracle, Red Hat or Scientific Linux. As for rebuilding, why would you want to rebuild CentOS? Why not do what CentOS does and get the sources directly from Red Hat and rebuild that?

After reading your message, I googled the error and found a webpage that describes a slightly different procedure than yours, but which does the same thing: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1638708 Everything is working now. :) I am going to add this to the Release Notes for 5.6 on the Wiki now. Turns out that wasn't the only problem I faced in my migration. With 2 KVM servers, both sharing a volume mounted via NFS for VMs, I migrated all VMs to the second node, upgraded the first, them moved them all back to KVM1. Instant disk corruption on all VMs. Boom. I have a second pair of KVM servers. I tested one VM with my normal migrate-them-out-of-the-way procedure, and it, too, suffered MASSIVE filesystem corruption. This was even after I'd made the qcow2 mods and restarted libvirtd. The only way I was able to not have to rebuild the remaining non-corrupted VMs was to shut them down on one node then bring them back up again. Turns out live migration doesn't work in this upgrade. (Though I'll test regular live migration tomorrow, given that all 4 KVM servers have now been upgraded.) -I ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Try google: http://lwn.net/Articles/123934/ (For the record, I couldn't find any previous disparaging comments from him... I stopped at page 6) Maybe he is a hack, I have no clue. But he is a hack with a fairly big linux-focused audience that repeated a few home truths (in my opinion). I am using it to try to illustrate how the status quo is harming the project. If that isn't important to you or you don't agree, that's fine. He doesn't seem like a hack to me either. I checked his archive and he seems to be genuine and expressed his concern about the lack of a release back in February so it's a logical extension to be even more concerned that here we are in late April and still nothing. You may agree or disagree with his conclusion but his facts are a reflexion of the CentOS lists. No. His conclusions are rehashed, sometimes verbatim, from this list and the same vocal and tiny minority of users; and that's one of the problems I have with his style of one-sided journalism - there are two sides to most every story and when you concentrate solely on the negative aspects you are doing your readers a grave disservice. And those that think everything is peachy are also a tiny minority as far as we know, because I reckon 95%+ of CentOS users never post on the list. I wish people would stop stating what the *think* as *fact*. I think many people don't want to publicly state and appear to be ungrateful. I think that the apologist point of view for is pretty much worthless because the intent is to stifle those who are genuinely concerned about the timeliness now. If someone actually wanted to get a better view of the opinions, there are open source polling tools. If CentOS had a communication policy, it could spare itself these types of articles... No. These types of articles will continue to appear whether there is a communications policy or not. In my opinion, what a load of clap-trap. If that was the case, then every community project irrespective of governance would get these types of articles and as far as I can tell, that just aint the case! It seems that unless/until the CentOS leaders agree that 3 months on point releases and 6 months on new releases are a problem then they aren't likely to try to solve it. I would agree that this type of article would exist even if there were better communications offered by CentOS governance. Speaking only for myself, I am starting to lose faith.

Yeah, genuinely concerned. And that concern is supposedly best served by bad-mouthing CentOS at every opportunity?
