You can, but expanding two kernels and diffing them consumes a lot of 
disk space and time.


To determine if a specific patch is present, it's a little more 
efficient to use only the CentOS kernel source 
(https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/I_need_the_Kernel_Source#If_you_really_need_the_full_kernel_source), 
and then attempt to apply the patch in question (patch -p1 < 
git-patchfile).  The "patch" application will tell you if it is already 
applied and ask if you want to reverse it, if the patch is already 
present.  If it applies the patch, then it wasn't there already.

Mailman2 was written in the 1990's at a time where email lists were a bit
more obscure. It can be done but it takes a couple of sidesteps outlined in
the following web pages.

What John said...

I'm aware of the footer on all the list mails, I followed the link and
as John says, there is no method listed for changing the email address.
I can certainly un/re-subscribe, just didn't especially want to if there
was an official way.

there's no option on that page to change the address which the original
poster was asking about. As far as I know the only method is to unsubscribe
the old address and subscribe the new address.

[CentOS] changing subscribed email address?

[Fred Smith]

hi!

I'm going to move soonand will lose this email address, so I'm going around
all my various sbuscriptions changing the subscribed email address.

But I don't see how to do that for the CentOS lists, other than perhaps
to unsubscribe then re-subscribe.

Can anyone out enlighten me?

Thanks in advance!

Fred

There is not really a 'procedure' to do that . certianly not in CentOS.

The RHEL team currently only publishes the linux-*.tar.gz file in the
SOURCES .. they do not publish individual patches, just the tarball with
the patches already applied.

I see no public way .. other than the changelog of the SRPM, to figure
out what is different.

There may be a way for RHEL customers to see individual patches at
access.redhat.com .. but that is not really a CentOS question.

You CAN do a diff on the exploded tarball from the SRPM and either the
last kernel released (to see what is in this update) .. or the
kernel.org reference kernel .. to see what is different from the
kernel.org release.

If there is a public way to actually see the RHEL patches, I'm sure
someone will post it.

[CentOS] Tracking or checking backported kernel patches from upstream

[Carlos A. Carnero Delgado]

Hi!

I'm interested in finding out if a couple of upstream kernel patches were
backported into CentOS (RHEL), in particular this one

and this one

.

What's the procedure? After reading an article
,
I went into Red Hat's bugzilla, and tried several search terms (including
the kernel's commit ID) but found nothing.

Thanks!

[CentOS] OPENVPN setup in CentOS-6 NetworkManager

[Janos G. Komaromi]

Hi, I need some help. I have CentOS-6 installed on an older 32bit
desktop. The command
su -c "openvpn --config foo.ovpn"
works well, but would like to do it from NetworkManager.

(1) If I try to import foo.ovpn then the certificate file references
are not populated. If I try to select files extracted from foo.ovpn
then the Private key file cannot be selected and therefore setup is
aborted.

(2) If I create a .conf file with appropriate entries then
NetworkManager imports it fully, including the .pem key file. However,
connection is timed out, connection fails.

I researched Internet, RFM, permissions, SElinux, messages, etc. to no
avail, so I request support.

Do I miss a component? Where can I examine the NetworkManager log? Why
the .pem key file is not selectable?

I try this mailing list first - and thank you.

Janos
