[CentOS] CentOS Net Install

2019-12-13 Thread Mark LaPierre

Hey all,

Is a Network Install ISO planed any time in the near future for CentOS 
8?  I don't see it in the mirrors, but that might be a function of my 
poor searching abilities.

That is probably a beneficial side-effect.

I've completed this (simple) task, so I'm ready to start the
translation jpb and also to spread the voice to Italian LUG to catch
other people
No news still from the MoinMoin development team (asking them to
explain if they have some sort of translation support inside their
wiki platform). I will keep you updated

> I don't think we track any stats of that nature.
No data about our web visitors? It's a precise choice? OK to not track
single user, etc but understand from an aggregate point of view:
visitors per country, user web browser (and OS) choice, user device
(pc/mobile/tablet)

I can contact some IT blogger (that wrote about Linux and Centos) that

I think that this page and the content that it brings is very useful

This would also affect "man". Better to use SYSTEMD_PAGER.

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=713567 for info. It's
more of the systemd-mindset disease, and Schmidt looked to be pretty
intransigent in the face of concerted objection some years ago.

You either have to use: systemctl --no-pager status firewalld
Or you have to first do: export SYSTEMD_PAGER=

Maybe you could put the latter into a file in /etc/profile.d to make
it system-wide:

# echo 'export SYSTEMD_PAGER=' >>/etc/profile.d/systemd.sh
# echo 'setenv SYSTEMD_PAGER ""' >>/etc/profile.d/systemd.csh

It seems this became the default at some point.

systemctl -l --no-pager

is the way to get it without that. The whole does it use a pager, does
it ellipse, etc has been a long fight where various people complain
enough to get it one way or another. It usually goes with the group
that complains the nicest versus the ones who complain the worst :).

The environment variable $PAGER determines what pager to use.  The
default is 'less'. User 

  export PAGER=more 

to use 'more' instead. Or

 export PAGER=

to not pipe to a pager.

So far so good. Don't know why it is complaining about log being

As you can see, it is trimming the output at the end of my terminal

I intend to build tomcat 8 and 9 for CentOS 8 in my harbottle-main

CentOS 7, but I'm having trouble with the log4j dependency in CentOS 8

Hi all,

sadly there is no epel tomcat package so far.
As per

there is no progress for three months.

Is there any other third party repository which builds tomcat for

Hi all, still again here...

I'm doing some working to start the Italian translation job (build a

I've analyzed the wiki software (MoinMoin) and found it extremely

and I'm trying to get in touch with the it-translator-team of that platform.

I've two questions :
1) Can you share the usage/mostly accessed page on the wiki (to choose
where to start from the translating job and also to check how many
pages are served from the /it/ sub roots)


No, I don't think we track any stats of that nature.


Exactly what's https://planet.centos.org?
It seems to be a historical overview of what's happened in the CentOS
community from the beginning of 2017 until today ...


planet.centos is a blog aggregator. However, since we have almost no 
active bloggers in our community, it ends up just being a mirror of the 
main blog.centos.org site. A while back I looked around for some active 
centOS bloggers who were posting quality content, and came up with 
almost nothing. If you're aware of any, we can try to get them added on.




Can I also translate this? Perhaps starting from the beginning of 2019 posts...
I noted this page seems to be served and managed from a different
platform (http://www.planetplanet.org/)

If you think there's value in translating these blog posts, I suppose 
that would be fine. I'm not sure, though, where we would host that content.

I think the default is to use Network Manager / nmcli? I'm not sure if
NM is going to do things with interfaces you created through ip.

I've been thinking about this for a while. The problem has been the
workflows between myself and the SIG are so far apart, its hard to
look at how to merge them.

I have full CI between my own git and packages to the mirrors - which
is good, but has its down sides. I also don't have the restrictions 
of

the CentOS build system to deal with - which is great for my workflow
;)

I'm prepping packages for CentOS 8 now - but its exposing quite a
number of problems around the main toolsets for Xen - and instead of
just adding my own patch and moving on (ala Fedora's Xen packages),
I'm trying to get fixes in upstream where possible.

My todo list currently includes:
1) Replace all #! that include env python to a specific python
version/binary. ie /usr/bin/python or /usr/bin/python3. The configure
portions of this are complete, but the scripts need to be altered to
have the detected python version populated.

2) There's no brctl in CentOS 8. The network scripts need to be
re-written to use 'ip' instead. To maintain compatibility, the 
network

scripts need to support both brctl and ip commands and use whichever
is present on the system.

3) UEFI support needs to be tested. The preferred UEFI boot method 
for

Dom0 is to use grub to then boot Xen - but this needs to be tested.

So while me moving to try and get these fixed upstream is great - it
should make everyone's job easier in the long term. Although I have
the same problem as the SIG - there's just not enough people to test 
/

patch stuff. The more we deep dive into 4.13, the further away I can
see the release happening :(

Well, I guess that it's because repodata weren't even generated .. ?

I don't want to burden Steven Haigh any, but I wonder if there's a way

I've been thinking about this for a while. The problem has been the
workflows between myself and the SIG are so far apart, its hard to
look at how to merge them.

I have full CI between my own git and packages to the mirrors - which
is good, but has its down sides. I also don't have the restrictions of
the CentOS build system to deal with - which is great for my workflow
;)

I'm prepping packages for CentOS 8 now - but its exposing quite a
number of problems around the main toolsets for Xen - and instead of
just adding my own patch and moving on (ala Fedora's Xen packages),
I'm trying to get fixes in upstream where possible.

My todo list currently includes:
1) Replace all #! that include env python to a specific python
version/binary. ie /usr/bin/python or /usr/bin/python3. The configure
portions of this are complete, but the scripts need to be altered to
have the detected python version populated.

2) There's no brctl in CentOS 8. The network scripts need to be
re-written to use 'ip' instead. To maintain compatibility, the network
scripts need to support both brctl and ip commands and use whichever
is present on the system.

3) UEFI support needs to be tested. The preferred UEFI boot method for
Dom0 is to use grub to then boot Xen - but this needs to be tested.

So while me moving to try and get these fixed upstream is great - it
should make everyone's job easier in the long term. Although I have
the same problem as the SIG - there's just not enough people to test /
patch stuff. The more we deep dive into 4.13, the further away I can
see the release happening :(
