[CentOS-docs] wiki content management via automation
Hi the CentOS Cloud images and other things are now built from end to end automated pipelines, but the wiki content corresponding to them isnt. Is there something that can be used to do this automation ? I have done some stuff many many years ago, via directly mangling content on the wiki objects, but that might not be the best way forward. thoughts ?

[CentOS-docs] Splitting the container pipeline page in the wiki
hi Bama since there are other things going on in the container space around centos, I was thinking maybe we can setup a /Container page, and then have a /Container/Registry and a /Container/Pipeline page each. the pipeline page can talk about the service, code and run setup. and the registry page can talk about howto get content in there, what content is already there and urls to the user setup and consumer stuff. would that work for you ? this would also unblock content coming up like /Container/Docker etc and the /Container page can perhaps just be an index pointing to the relevant info. regards, -- Karanbir Singh, Project Lead, The CentOS Project +44-207-0999389 | http://www.centos.org/ | twitter.com/CentOS GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ CentOS-docs mailing list CentOS-docs@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs

The other possibility was that a new license included some extra constraints but I wasn't to sure if that was allowed. Instead of trying to find the answer in the license itself, I thought it would be simpler to ask, and it was. the biggest constrain from our perspective is that those docs are for RHEL not CentOS. And we dont want the messaging to be 'CentOS is RHEL, but free'. As Ed pointed out somethings are different in the way we do mirrors and installer etc, support options are different and the way some of the code works in the distro is different as well. So while its ok to say that CentOS should work like whats in the doc, we need enough adaption to make it clear were not saying CentOS == RHEL. This is true and I considered it but I also thought that people who use CentOS would probably have a good idea about what it's history is and where to go to find that information if they wanted it. I haven't been around the lists for too long but I wouldn't suspect that there be a great demand for CentOS documentation specifically. I have never heard anyone ask for where they can find the CentOS documentation because they usually know where to find it. the fact that www.centos.org/docs isnt updated is something that comes up a few times a day everyday, in various forums and venues. it would really be a good problem to have squared away. Also, what you are saying has been traditionally true - CentOS users were mostly people who knew the equation; had done their due diligence and then made a choice to go with CentOS - over the years thats changed quite a lot to now put us in a state where we have large numbers of people who have never used Linux before, getting to grips with CentOS. I'd say about 25 to 40% of our userbase at this point are the non-expert linux users. in 2008 I would have said that the number was closer to 10%. I agree that modifying and subsequently maintaining the manuals is a rather large project. That isn't to say I'm advocating either for or against. But, most of it can be automated isnt it ? and the docs are only ever updated once every 6 to 8 months. Its more of a case of someone taking the task up, and spending the day or two needed to get to grips with whats involved and doing 1 doc. We can then scale up the effort from there. Breaking inertia is key. I am of the understanding that CentOS exists only to distribute a freely available version of upstream. In that sense, it is not a full on distribution that needs or wants to go that far. Yes and No, There are two different things here. The CentOS Linux Distribution, and the CentOS Project. The distro aims are in line with what you mentioned, the Project should and could do a lot more. -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh ICQ: 2522219| Yahoo IM: z00dax | Gtalk: z00dax GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc ___ CentOS-docs mailing list CentOS-docs@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs

I was thinking about something that would also implement a process. So Alan would know exactly which articles are 'done' and he needs to look through, and so Didi/Marcus could check to see which ones have been through Alan's filter. Something of this nature might also allow for people to submit muiltiple articles and for Didi/Marcus to be able to select and nominate which release gets which articles etc. I am sure there is something out there ( s/w ) that would make this process easy.

[CentOS-docs] www.centos.org and the wildcard dns
hi guys, At the moment there is a www.centos.org site. There is also a wildcard dns setup that directs anything.centos.org to www.centos.org's content This has a couple of 'issues' with SEO and google sepcifically. The reason we have such low page rank is that google marks all of this as duplicate content. I am sure there are other search engines that do as well ( Bing has a policy of marking down duplicates as well ). So, what I'd like to propose is to either drop the wildcard dns completely, or setup a new vhost for the wildcard that isnt www.centos.org. What we could then do is either present people with a list of options on destinations they might be interested in. eg: - www.centos.org - wiki.centos.org - bugs.centos.org - mirror.centos.org - isolist.centos.org thoughts ? -- Karanbir Singh kbsi...@karan.org | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh ICQ: 2522219 | Yahoo IM: z00dax | Gtalk: z00dax GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc ___ CentOS-docs mailing list CentOS-docs@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs

I know Andreas Rogge did some work on a standard template that might be used. But noone has actually done the work required. Would you like to take ownership of the www.centos.org/docs/ stuff completely ? It does not mean you need to do all the work yourself, but it would mean that you need to make sure there are people around who do the stuff, and make sure the site and all the content on there is relevant and maintained!

We were shooting at much smaller targets with the scripts. I should have mentioned - The effort was an outgrowth of a long thread on the User Comments forum and not just my idea. I didnt say that sos was not a good idea - it is the *best* idea here, that is designed to do just sort of thing being attempted, but it does go into a lot of detail since its built to be run for a client talking to a business support guy at the other end, and not *everyone* over the internet. The other thing is that it can run for a long long time, hours in some cases. So there are negatives and the issue of toobig a tool for a small task; is a very valid issue. The other issue would be to get a plugin installed into sosreport, would need a bit more of an effort than just downloading and running a script. So the issue here is : - define what we want out of it ( I am not sure this has been defined anywhere ) - see if its easier to get that info out from sos or do a bash script http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flattopic_id=25030forum=18 If it is a case of going down the bash script route, this is a good place to start. However, the script has no author or license / copyright info - you should fix that. Another thing that would be quite nice to see is if this script could auto-feed a pastebin and return a pastebin ID; as long as it does not increase the complexity of the script too much. - KB ___ CentOS-docs mailing list CentOS-docs@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs

hi guys, is there a page I could point potential translators at ? There have been a few people who have shown interest in helping with some languages that we do not have translations for at the moment, including russian, gujrati, greek and turkish. Is there a page on the wiki that we could point these people at ? maybe a 'getting started with translations', something that might include 'things that we usually translate' and 'polices and ideas around the wiki.c.o in different languages'.

Re: [CentOS-docs] Article on building i586 CentOS-5 kernel
Hi, I am lagging a bit on the -docs maillist backlog, will try and catchup over the next few days.

All comments are welcomed. sounds good :) I have two questions for the development team: * Is this article suitable for publication on the wiki? I'd say no, not here in the user facing wiki * Can the changes mentioned in that article be incorporated into the stock SRPM? (As far as I know, non-i586 builds should not be affected) No, but there is a big open door in the c5plus kernel window. That would be the best place for this. However, expanding a bit ( and this conversation might be better for -devel rather than -docs ). Is the modified kernel the the only bit of change you need for i586 support ? I'd think a glibc.i586 might be worth doing as well. And there were a few other packages that were required to be patched on c4 to make it work for i586. How many of those are needed here as well ? And there are a lot of patches in the kernel tree that might not impact the i586 code at all. eg. whats the state of xen in this i586 kernel ? If there is reasonable interest in running a i586 tree, then imho, a SIG dedicated to this would be the best route to go. It would also make it possible to have a i586 specific tree that can be maintained in parallel to the main core distro. -- Karanbir Singh London, UK| http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh ICQ: 2522219 | Yahoo IM: z00dax | Gtalk: z00dax GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc ___ CentOS-docs mailing list CentOS-docs@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-docs
