[CentOS-announce] Release for CentOS-5.6 i386 and x86_64
We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of CentOS-5.6 for i386 and x86_64 Architectures. CentOS-5.6 is based on the upstream release EL 5.6 and includes packages from all variants including Server and Client. All upstream repositories have been combined into one, to make it easier for end users to work with. This is just an announcement email, not the release notes. The Release Notes for CentOS-5.6 can be found on-line at : http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS5.6 and everyone is encouraged to look through them once. Also worth browsing through are the CentOS FAQs at http://wiki.centos.org/FAQ +++ Upgrading from CentOS-5.5 ( or CentOS-5.0 / 5.1 / 5.2 / 5.3 / 5.5 ): If you are already running CentOS-5.5 or an older CentOS-5 distro, all you need to do is update your machine via yum by running : 'yum update' Running 'yum list updates' before doing the update is recommended, so you can get a list of packages that are going to be updated. To check you are indeed on CentOS-5.6, run : 'rpm -q centos-release' and that should return: 'centos-release-5-6.el5.centos.1' +++ Live-CD: The LiveCDs are meant to be used to run a CentOS 5.6 environment. The LiveCDs are setup in a way so as to allow running from either optical media like cds and dvds or from USB keys and other portable media. Release Notes for the CentOS-5.6 LiveCD can be found at : http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOSLiveCD5.6 +++ Downloading CentOS-5.6 for new installs: When possible, consider using torrents to run the downloads. Not only does it help the community and keeps mirrors from running up high bandwidth bills, in most cases you will find its also the fastest means to download the distro. There are currently over three hundred people seeding CentOS-5 and it's possible to get upto 100mbps downloads via these torrents. -- Via BitTorrent : CD: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.6/isos/i386/CentOS-5.6-i386-bin-1to7.torrent http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.6/isos/x86_64/CentOS-5.6-x86_64-bin-1to8.torrent DVD: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.6/isos/i386/CentOS-5.6-i386-bin-DVD.torrent http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.6/isos/x86_64/CentOS-5.6-x86_64-bin-DVD.torrent LiveCD: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.6/isos/i386/CentOS-5.6-i386-LiveCD.torrent http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.6/isos/x86_64/CentOS-5.6-x86_64-LiveCD.torrent md5sum's for these torrent files: 5933c19cd9483ce29b785955249ecd7c CentOS-5.6-i386-bin-1to7.torrent abb5949608423611e814a5d02325b6d2 CentOS-5.6-x86_64-bin-1to8.torrent 178a61311e7ee7ec2cd48a06cc84f80d CentOS-5.6-i386-bin-DVD.torrent 01eb97a833faf9bdfdac239c59e1b1cf CentOS-5.6-x86_64-bin-DVD.torrent 173948defd0661b0949c0c4badd050ff CentOS-5.6-i386-LiveCD.torrent dfc0ac767ba42e55b7e05c5922f30c51 CentOS-5.6-x86_64-LiveCD.torrent Note: we had to redo the x86_64 DVD and CD torrent files, so ensure you only use torrent files that match these published md5sum's -- Via direct download: Due to bandwidth considerations the CentOS Project does not publish ISOs directly from our network machines. However direct downloads are available from external mirrors over http, ftp and rsync. A geoip based list is available at http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/5/isos/ to give you the best predictable match ( and only lists mirrors that are updated already, so you don't need to waste time looking for a sync'd mirror ) Some mirrors also publish DVD images that can be downloaded directly.

Re: [CentOS] Centos 6 Update?
John, please stop cluttering the list with your complaining. It's making a right mess for those of that wish to discuss the project and its direction. Wow. Pot? Kettle? So, let me get this straight. People are able to bitch, whine, complain and needlessly threaten to leave the project to their heart's content and that's ok. But when I point out how idiotic and irrelevant it is to publicly threaten to leave, or inform the list membership that they are leaving, that's not? Really? If you're serious about this you're a complete tool. In fact there is no if here, you're just a tool. Simply... Wow. Obviously the irony/sarcasm was too subtle for you. In my opinion, you absolutely need to get your own house in order. The value of that last post was *zero*. As for bitching, whining and complaining, your last post had the lot. As for the name calling... as you say wow, yeah, simply wow. I expect that was my fault for 'making you' do it, was it? As for the leaving stuff, I haven't suggested that myself in this thread. In a normal community discussion, I think it reasonable for somebody to comment if they feel the project isn't meeting its stated goals *in their opinion*... It is called Free Speech. It doesn't matter if it gets said a thousand times by different people. I use Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, CentOS (4,5) and SL depending on the particular circumstances.

This was a beta kernel and was never officially released so CentOS has no way to rebuild their package against this kernel. Hence, not 100% binary compatible. There is absolutely NO responsibility on Red Hat to release that kernel that was part of their build environment. The package builds fine for CentOS against the release kernel. In all likelihood it will function identically to the upstream packages, but there is always a possibility that some weird corner-case bug will affect one package that doesn't affect the other. This situation with kmod packages is not at all uncommon as Red Hat invariably release kmods built against pre-release kernels and don't rebuild them against the release kernel for GA. There are other examples where packages might have been built against an unreleased version of glibc or whatever but again these packages generally function fine, and identically to upstream, but there is always a very small possibility they might not function identically bug for bug.

By this definition a well written emulator and the emulated machine are binary-compatible, yet the build environments and other under the hood stuff can and are wildly different.

(I actually already have CentOS-5.5 installed on this machine using the CentOS Live CD on a USB stick, and pressing SPACE at boot-time to get a list of options.) So this seems to be a viable method, which should work even when the Network Install option is removed from CentOS Live CD as we are told it will be. Why? (I tried adding a suggestion to this effect in the CentOS bugzilla, but there doesn't seem to be any option there for Live CD.) -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] how is binary compatibility determined?
Hi all! We've seen quite a few references on the list to 100% binary compatibility with upstream. What I am curious about is, how precisely is this determined? All the ways I can think of for comparing how two systems might work seem flawed in some way (e.g., using some sort of checksum; unit testing; verifying build parameters). I did some searches both at centos.org and google, but couldn't find anything specific about the test(s) used to determine compatibility.

Hi there -- I am trying to install the 64-bit version onto one of our servers. When I get to the point of loading various software packages, I normally select KDE desktop, and also make sure that CentOS extras is also selected. Once that is done, I click on Next to have the installation continue. Every attempt that I have made has resulted in an exception error occurring with the python packages. As a result, the installation fails. I have not been able to install CentOS since this problem started occurring. Does anyone know of a way I can get around this problem? Thanks.

Having it present was raising unrealistic expectations of netinstall as a viable option, and resulting in bad first experiences with CentOS and a large support burden. That seems completely misguided to me, since it is perfectly simple to use with the DVD ISO on a local machine. Why not simply warn people if you think a local ISO is the safest way? The alternative dd method described in the CentOS Installation Guide (but not the RedHat one) does not appear to me to work, and the only other way I see to install CentOS on a machine without a CD drive (the method described in the RedHat Installation Guide) is absurdly long-winded. Forgive me if I've missed it mentioned, but it looks like the option is only being removed from the LiveCD. Using the netinstall.iso is still available and would be a more efficient way of doing network installs anyway (9.5M vs 685M). Unless things have changed since I messed with network installs (which is has been a while), all you really need is some way to boot the kernel and initrd files. It doesn't matter if you start with grub, lilo, syslinux, etc. I remember using the boot loader of an existing system to start the network install (but I don't remember what version it was) on a machine without a working optical drive. The issues you saw with grub being installed on the USB stick instead of the HDD are a bigger concern in my book.

If so, what does /etc/nsswitch.conf say - files first? mark resolv.conf exists and nsswitch.conf has a following line: hosts: files dns Check /etc/host.conf that is the file that tells the system in what order to do it's lookups. Should be as follows: order hosts,bind SELinux was in enforcing mode, but I didn't see any errors in audit.log. Still I have disabled it for now. SELinux shouldn't play a role here. -- Regards Robert Linux The adventure of a lifetime.

Re: [CentOS] Exception error with 5.5 installation
Kaplan, Andrew H. wrote on 04/08/2011 02:32 PM: I am trying to install the 64-bit version onto one of our servers. When I get to the point of loading various software packages, I normally select KDE desktop, and also make sure that CentOS extras is also selected. Once that is done, I click on Next to have the installation continue. Every attempt that I have made has resulted in an exception error occurring with the python packages. As a result, the installation fails. I have not been able to install CentOS since this problem started occurring. Does anyone know of a way I can get around this problem? Patient: Doctor, it hurts when I do this. Doctor: Don't do that! Known issue. That has been removed in 5.6. Do not try to use the extras repo at install time.

Re: [CentOS] /etc/hosts not resolving hostnames
Johan Martinez wrote on Fri, 8 Apr 2011 14:31:32 -0500: This is working fine on another CentOS system. It doesn't matter if it works fine. The host command indeed does dns lookups as John Pierce already pointed out and apache does, too. With your experience level I suggest believing him. It's working on your other system because that hostname is in the resolver cache or can be resolved. You want to use DNS, anyway. For your apache problem: you want to read up on name-based virtual hosts. Kai ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] large memory usage by perl .so modules?
Under Centos 5.5 on an x86_64 box I am seeing large memory usage
associated with perl .so modules.
Example: this script:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Time::HiRes;
open(SMAPS, /proc/$$/smaps);
while (SMAPS) {
if (m/^\d/) {
chomp($lib = (split(' ', $_))[5]);
} elsif (m/^Size:\s*(\d+.*)/) {
my $size = $1;
print $size $lib\n if ($lib =~ m/HiRes/);
}
}
produces this output:
24 kB /usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/Time/HiRes/HiRes.so
2044 kB
/usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/Time/HiRes/HiRes.so
4 kB /usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/Time/HiRes/HiRes.so
What is this 2044 kB entry? On a 32-bit Centos 5.4 box the same script emits:
20 kB /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/Time/HiRes/HiRes.so
4 kB /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/Time/HiRes/HiRes.so
The 2044 kB entry seems to be counted towards memory usage as reported by ps.
Thanks!
