when updates are issued you'll get an email on this list.

if you want to look for updates using yum you can run:

yum list updates

-sv

Hi Seth -- any chance we could use a read-only list, like 
centos2-announce, centos3-announce or whatnot? Much like the Redhat 
errata list...

it's been suggested before - I think donavan was working on something
with a -announce list and maybe an rss feed or some such fun stuff.

Donavan?

gcc, libkrb4 problem

I'm trying to recompile the source RPM from the FC3 version of cvs 
(http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/3/i386/SRPMS.updates/cvs-1.11.17-4.src.rpm), 
as the version shipped on RHEL/CentOS/etc has a known bug (version 
1.11.2-unix "cvs watch on" doesn't work).

The initial configure is failing with this obscure error:

configure:2257: checking for C compiler default output file name
configure:2260: gcc -I/usr/kerberos/include/kerberosIV 
-I/usr/kerberos/include/kerberosIV  conftest.c -lkrb4 -ldes425 
-lk5crypto >&5
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lkrb4
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

The file(s) do indeed exist in /usr/kerberos/lib, and that path is in my 
/etc/ld.so.conf (re-ran /sbin/ldconfig just in case). The strange thing 
here is that it also fails on RHES3 with the same error -- krb4 libs and 
.so symlinks are all fine, it's in the ld.so.conf.

While apparently a RHES3 buglet of some sort, was wondering if anyone 
could pass on some knowledge or things to try. I have some developers 
wanting to use cvs watch on, cvs server runs CentOS. :-/

thanks for any help!

Updates to CentOS-4Beta

1.  There are updates to CentOS-4Beta for the i386 and x86_64 arches.
The following RPMS have been changed:

a.  createrepo-0.4.2-1.noarch.rpm - This is an update from the upstream
maintainer.

b.  yum-2.1.13-1.c4.noarch.rpm - This is an update from the upstream
maintainer.

c.  firefox-1.0-6.centos4.3.i386.rpm - The original build did not strip
the library files of unnecessary symbols, causing the library files to
be up to 3x the normal size.  This rebuild properly stripped the library
files.  The following mozilla based files had the same library files
strip issue:

mozilla-1.7.5-1.centos4.2.i386.rpm
mozilla-chat-1.7.5-1.centos4.2.i386.rpm
mozilla-devel-1.7.5-1.centos4.2.i386.rpm
mozilla-dom-inspector-1.7.5-1.centos4.2.i386.rpm
mozilla-js-debugger-1.7.5-1.centos4.2.i386.rpm
mozilla-mail-1.7.5-1.centos4.2.i386.rpm
mozilla-nspr-1.7.5-1.centos4.2.i386.rpm
mozilla-nspr-devel-1.7.5-1.centos4.2.i386.rpm
mozilla-nss-1.7.5-1.centos4.2.i386.rpm
mozilla-nss-devel-1.7.5-1.centos4.2.i386.rpm
thunderbird-0.8.0-9.centos4.1.i386.rpm

d. up2date-4.3.53-1.src.rpm was released on the RHN channel for RHEL4-
Beta2 prior to the channel closing. up2date-4.3.53-1.centos4.2.i386.rpm
and up2date-gnome-4.3.53-1.centos4.2.i386.rpm were created from that

for completeness sake:
groupinfo and groupremove, too.

in yum 2.1.X, at least.

Like many of my great ideas, they are discuss, then they get quiet and 
everyone hopes they can keep me busy with website updates and irc 
channel greeting....

No seriously now that Lance is back from holiday and his mail queue will 
be drained in the next day or two I HOPE to press onward with my 
campaigns (file names for torrents and isos, and read only mail lists 
for security and announcements).
