Greetings, I updated my contributed Scientific Linux 6 (32-bit and 64-bit) OS Templates. While there were some package updates that were done since the last rebuild the exciting addition to today is that Scientific Linux announced on Oct. 17th that they had built all of the "Software Collections" packages that Red Hat had released for RHEL6. What is software collections? For more info see:
https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Developer_Guide/chap-RHSCL.html With the software collections repo added to the Scientific Linux 6 OS Template one can easily install: mariadb55, mysql55, nodejs010, perl516, php54, postgresql92, python27, python33, ruby193 That makes EL6 a much more flexible server environment. It appears CentOS is also working on offering Software Collections packages but they aren't done yet. If and when they are available, I'll add that repo to my contributed CentOS 6 OS Templates. Please note no additional packages have been installed other than the yum-conf-softwarecollections-1.0-1.el6.noarch.rpm package provided by Scientific Linux which includes the repo files needed to access the new packages/repos. You can find the updated OS Templates in the standard contributed OS Templates directory: http://download.openvz.org/template/precreated/contrib/ They are: scientific-6-x86-20131025.tar.xz 25-Oct-2013 15:42 103M scientific-6-x86-20131025.tar.xz.asc 25-Oct-2013 15:42 198 scientific-6-x86_64-20131025.tar.xz 25-Oct-2013 15:42 107M scientific-6-x86_64-20131025.tar.xz.asc 25-Oct-2013 15:42 198 Enjoy, -- Scott Dowdle 704 Church Street Belgrade, MT 59714 (406)388-0827 [home] (406)994-3931 [work] _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@openvz.org https://lists.openvz.org/mailman/listinfo/users
