add to wish list: ucarp
by Florin Andrei 05 Aug '07

05 Aug '07

Can't edit the Wiki. Please add ucarp to the wish list. # rpm -qi ucarp Name : ucarp Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 1.2 Vendor: Fedora Project Release : 7.fc7 Build Date: Mon 05 Feb 2007 05:10:02 AM PST Install Date: Thu 02 Aug 2007 06:51:01 PM PDT Build Host: hammer2.fedora.redhat.com Group : System Environment/Daemons Source RPM: ucarp-1.2-7.fc7.src.rpm Size : 67359 License: BSD Signature : DSA/SHA1, Mon 21 May 2007 11:18:05 AM PDT, Key ID b44269d04f2a6fd2 Packager : Fedora Project <http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla> URL : http://www.ucarp.org/ Summary : Common Address Redundancy Protocol (CARP) for Unix Description : UCARP allows a couple of hosts to share common virtual IP addresses in order to provide automatic failover. It is a portable userland implementation of the secure and patent-free Common Address Redundancy Protocol (CARP, OpenBSD's alternative to the patents-bloated VRRP). Strong points of the CARP protocol are: very low overhead, cryptographically signed messages, interoperability between different operating systems and no need for any dedicated extra network link between redundant hosts.

RHN software channels & EPEL
by Andrey KLYACHKIN 02 Aug '07

02 Aug '07

Hallo all, how EPEL will deal with so called software channels in RHN? E.g., RHEL4 has channel Red Hat Web Application Stack and it contains httpd-2.0.55 (which replaces standard httpd-2.0.52 from RHEL4) and mysql-connector-odbc-3.51.12 (there is no such package in the standard RHEL4 distribution). Will EPEL packages be built without replacing packages only from standard distribution or also from additional software channels and Red Hat products (such as RHCS, GFS, ...)? -- Sincerely yours, Andrey Klyachkin UNIX Systems Administrator, RaiffeisenBank Austria, Moscow This message and any attachment are confidential and may be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure.

yum update problem on CentOS 5
by Ron Yorston 02 Aug '07

02 Aug '07

Since I added the EPEL repository to my CentOS 4.5 system I've been having trouble with 'yum update'. It reports: --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: perl-libxml-enno >= 1.02 for package: foomatic --> Processing Dependency: perl(XML::RegExp) for package: perl-XML-DOM --> Restarting Dependency Resolution with new changes. --> Populating transaction set with selected packages. Please wait. ---> Package perl-XML-RegExp.noarch 0:0.03-2.el4 set to be updated --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: perl-libxml-enno >= 1.02 for package: foomatic --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: perl-libxml-enno >= 1.02 is needed by package foomatic I can make it work either by disabling the EPEL repo (yum --disablerepo=epel update) or by specifying explicitly what needs to be updated (yum update tetex). But I shouldn't have to. Apparently perl-XML-DOM (from EPEL) obsoletes perl-libxml-enno <= 1.02, but CentOS has perl-libxml-enno-1.02-31 which is required by foomatic. Result misery. Ron

You want something to be discussed? Send a note to the list in reply to this mail and I'll add it to the schedule (I can't promise we will get to it tomorrow, but we'll most likely will if we don't run out of time).
