Re: [CentOS] Problem getting ssh agent forwarding to work

[Ralph Angenendt]

You might want to take a look at /var/log/secure on the machine you're
logging into, that might have more information on why the key wasn't
accepted.

[CentOS] Strange behaviour of yum within %post in kickstart

[Ralph Angenendt]

Hi,

(This is happening on CentOS 6)

during a machine's kickstart I install several yum repositories which are
contained in an RPM. During the %post phase I install an RPM which has a
dependency to nodejs. That package with all of its dependencies can be
found in EPEL. On the other hand I have the Softwarecollections repository,
which also contains nodejs with the same version.

Now nodejs has a dependency on libuv:

| root@devcma01 ~ # yum deplist nodejs -q --disableexcludes=all
| […]
|   dependency: libuv.so.0.10()(64bit)
|provider: nodejs010-libuv.x86_64 1:0.10.30-1.el6
|provider: libuv.x86_64 1:0.10.34-1.el6
|provider: libuv.x86_64 1:0.10.34-1.el6

As you can see, there are two packages satisfying the dependency.

First strange behaviour:

| root@devcma01 ~ # yum --disableexcludes=all -v -d9 install nodejs
| […]
| nodejs-0.10.48-3.el6.x86_64 requires: libuv.so.0.10()(64bit)
| --> Processing Dependency: libuv.so.0.10()(64bit) for package:
nodejs-0.10.48-3.el6.x86_64
| Searching pkgSack for dep: libuv.so.0.10()(64bit)
| Building updates object
| up:simple updates time: 0.010
| up:obs time: 0.014
| up:condense time: 0.000
| updates time: 1.059
| TSINFO: Marking 1:nodejs010-libuv-0.10.30-1.el6.x86_64 as install for
nodejs-0.10.48-3.el6.x86_64
| […]

Why is nodejs010-libuv winning over libuv? It has the longer name *and* an
inferior version number. Does the amount of "requires" play a role here?

| root@devcma01 ~ # repoquery --requires libuv | wc -l
| 32
| root@devcma01 ~ # repoquery --requires nodejs010-libuv | wc -l
| 15

The solution seems easy: Exclude nodejs010 from softwarecollections:

| root@devcma01 /etc/yum.repos.d # grep exclude= *
| python27.repo:exclude=nodejs010*

Now comes the other strange behaviour. As said: I install that repository
during kickstart and then a package gets installed (within %post) that
needs nodejs. The installed repo file has the "exclude" line in it. But:

| --> Processing Dependency: nodejs for package:
is24-statsd-genuine-v0.7.2-677.noarch
| ---> Package nodejs.x86_64 0:0.10.48-3.el6 will be installed
| --> Processing Dependency: libuv.so.0.10()(64bit) for package:
nodejs-0.10.48-3.el6.x86_64
| ---> Package nodejs010-libuv.x86_64 1:0.10.30-1.el6 will be installed

It is as if the exclude line isn't even honoured within the %post section
of kickstart. Any idea on why that is?

Cheers,

Ralph

Hmmm. No. That is not really what we are looking for (although it sounds
interesting). We're looking for documentation which enables the reader
to *learn* and then implement things himself. Okay, if there is some
copy  paste, there's nothing wrong with that :)

But we don't want to supply shell scripts which are opaque to the causal
user and then do something he cannot reproduce (or understand with his
level of knowledge).

 Let me know if you're interested and if so, how I go about writing it into
 your wiki.

If you can add to various parts of the wiki which already describe mail
- or create new pages on things which aren't already covered - then that
would be great.

I tested this on CentOS 5 way back when that content was written. :)

 4) I personally would add some explanation in 5.1, what this is for.
 The reason for explanation is, that this scheme may be used for eventual
 other virus scanners in an analoguous way.

Added that, too.

Newcomer's checklist for newcomers to the distribution or for newcomers

The wiki has some lines on how to contribute to the wiki.

Regarding your request to translate the wiki: Are you sure that you can
spend the time to completely translate the wiki? To keep it up to date

Document type. The wiki is not really meant to serve, version, edit and

 As the author of the Postfix howto:

 dovecot confs).

 As I don't have any plans to update my mail server to el6 (I intend to

 for CentOS6 once released?

I can take a look at it, as I broke my dovecot yesterday when updating 
from Fedora 13 to 15 (although that should mean that the one in 6 seems 
similar enough).

Please ping me when we got that far :)

 On a wider note, have we given any thought on how we will handle docs
 for CentOS6? For example, will we just document differences between the
 two within the same article or will we have separate branches and docs
 for where there are major differences?

I guess same as with 4 and 5 - put both in one article and point out 
differences.

Hmmm. But that is not the only time when you will get that error,
normally it means that something (be it a driver issue, faulty RAM,
segfaulting applications etc.) ends your gnome-session after such a sort
time, so I don't really think your issue covers all - not even most - of
the reasons.

Not that I am ungrateful for someone wanting to add to the CentOS
documentation, but I think your proposal is a bit narrow.

 By the way, how do I change my login name?

I guess creating a new one is the only way.

 Wouldn't it be better for people to donate money to help push things along

 I mean if your really upset about how long its taken to come out why don't
 you donate some money to help the people who are working for free?
 
 Love to. Actually got approval from my company to do so years ago: The
 project donations page has been down (CentOS is currently reviewing our
 cash donation program. In the mean time we are not accepting any
 financial donations. We do appreciate though, if you want to - for
 example - help out with promo material. See our Wiki page on donations
 http://wiki.centos.org/Donate for more up to date information.) for
 around two years now.

Which somehow seems to be a sign that money is not what is needed by the
project. It is after all a project run by people which have normal jobs
on the side.

 It is very hard to take dev complaints about how 'no one wants to
 contribute' seriously when the devs have avoided setting up an easy
 mechanism for people to contribute money *to the project* for years now.
 Money doesn't solve all problems (and creates some new ones of its own),
 but it can pay developers, buy new servers for development, and create
 other resources.

We're still looking for people offering things like promo swag which can
then be given away at fairs (especially things like preprinted DVDs,
Shirts and other giveaway things). Maybe I should update that page to
point at the wiki page http://wiki.centos.org/Donate which already has
some of that stuff. Money is not really what the project is after.

 If they just want people to give them money personally (which some devs
 have, perhaps tongue in cheek, suggested on this list) with no
 accountability or expectation that that money actually specifically
 support the project, well, they can keep dreaming.

I wonder which devs that should have been - well I haven't read this
list for some time, so I probably overlooked it.

[CentOS-docs] Release Notes for CentOS 5.6

[Ralph Angenendt]

Hi,

this release has taken quite a long time (probably too long), but it is
nearing it's release (I think I already had this excuse once before).

Which means that it is Release Notes time! And that we're in need of
translators for the Release Notes!

http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS5.6 is what's there
already, so if you want to translate these pages, go ahead.

If you haven't done any tranastions before (for us that is) and want to
help, make sure that you are on this page:
http://wiki.centos.org/TranslationGroup

To do that, just drop a mail here on the centos-docs mailing list :)
