Hi Lazlo,
To build almost any src.rpm package you will need some *-devel packages
installed. And if you are going to modify a build you need to install
the src.rpm into a build area first.
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SetupRpmBuildEnvironment
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mock?rd=Subprojects/Mock
The spec file contains a set BuildRequires statements that will be a
starting point. The clutter.spec file contains these:
BuildRequires: glib2-devel mesa-libGL-devel pkgconfig pango-devel
BuildRequires: cairo-gobject-devel gdk-pixbuf2-devel atk-devel
BuildRequires: cogl-devel = %{cogl_version}
BuildRequires: gobject-introspection-devel = 0.9.6
BuildRequires: gtk3-devel
BuildRequires: json-glib-devel = 0.12.0
BuildRequires: libXcomposite-devel
BuildRequires: libXdamage-devel
BuildRequires: libXi-devel
I am happy to build this an stick it in a non standard place where
people who have this problem can get it.
I will build the new clutter and link it to your bug now.
Thanks,

[CentOS] Upgrading to CentOS 7

It is not pointless, some people want to do it. I would not use it. To each their own. The best way to do any major update is to backup your data, install the OS, bring back your data and make all the newer services (if you are moving things like databases or web directories, etc.). Some people want to take shortcuts to this procedure, and with enough effort, that tool can work. But to me, there is too much effort and there are too many older packages left around as clutter, so I would never do it. It can be done, however. Red Hat released this, so we rebuilt it .. that does not mean one should use it.

The kernel has had some basic testing (by myself, Johnny, and another community member), but libvirt is at the moment untested, so caveat emptor. With such a large change, I want to leave both up for a few weeks before pushing them into the main repo. Please test them and report any errors you find.

I'll be pushing those to testing once I've actually had a chance to do set up my testing environment. George, The new kernel works for me and the xen-4.4.2-2 packages I think you forgot to turn on with_xen and with_libxl in the libvirt package builds though .. that does not install as an update. At least for me. Oh right -- I got with_xen, but I think the last version I build didn't have with_libxl, so I missed it. Uploading a new one now... George, Upgraded a couple of servers with this new version of libvirt (and all the other virt6-testing rpms), all the machines start, as do all the VMs on the machines.

If it would take you a lot of time and effort to clean up after the upgrade I can't imagine how long it would take me. It is going to take a long time to fix issues in any Major upgrade. Most of your apache config files will not work, many times you need to run an upgrade on database system schemas, maybe new LDAP schema's etc. That in itself is hard. Add on top of that, if using the update tool, a bunch of packages that are running using the compat-glibc from the previous release. You not only have to figure out how to do all the updated stuff from above .. you now have to figure out which of the cruft that exists from the previous version (which is still on your system as there was no upgrade for it, etc.) that is needed and what is not. This problem is not unique to CentOS or even Linux. Anyone ever upgrade a domain controller from WinNT-4 to Windows Server 2000 .. or Server 2003 to Server 2008, etc. Stuff never works like it is supposed to on in-place upgrades. You will be, IMHO, fighting problems for the lifetime of that setup after that. Much cleaner to upgrade without cruft from the old OS. Red Hat released this, so we rebuilt it .. that does not mean one should use it. Strange. Not at all .. CentOS is a rebuild of RHEL source code. I do not agree with all the package selections they make. If it were up to me, some things would be newer or older in many releases .. but it is not up to me.
