When we developed the concept of contrib, those repositories did not exist or had very limited support for Enterprise Linux. Items added to CentOS would likely need to be things that are major upstream offerings, like RHEV, JBoss, etc. ... and not individual packages (again, the other 3rd Party repos are great for those). If we were going to distribute items from a contributor, that person would first need to gain the trust of the CentOS Project and would not happen overnight. Members of the QA Team, forum moderators, documention maintainers, etc., who have interfaced with the team for a period of time would have a much better chance of getting our attention than someone we are not familiar with. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Not trying to be a smart aleck here, but the problem isn't with CentOS, but with a third-party package; you may want to ask on an RPMforge list about an update to gxine, which is not a CentOS package, but an RPMforge package. More than likely, with the historically great responsiveness of the RPMforge maintainers (especially Dag) this will be fixed shortly, since the same thing will impact any EL6 rebuild and upstream EL6 itself.

[CentOS] File permissions
Hello, I need to know if there is something I am missing about file permission as I believe I am seeing some strange stuff on my system. I have a directory as follows: drwxrwxrwx 7 root root 4096 Mar 10 13:35 temp In this directory I have a file: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 137 Oct 30 02:16 208-109-248-33test As a normal user should I be able to rename this file? I believe that only root should be able to modify this file but as a normal user I am able to rename it without elevated privileges as so: temp $ mv 208-109-248-33test 208-109-248-33-mv [Sat Mar 10 13:41:05] /temp temp $ lt 208* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 137 Oct 30 02:16 208-109-248-33-mv How is this possible?

As Mr Owen remarks, nothing is broken. To get the mode ("permissions")
semantics that you might be expecting, set the "sticky bit" of the
directory.
# chmod +t temp
Then the mode will appear as "drwxrwxrwt" ( 1777 in octal).
Notice that this is the same as the mode for /tmp.
"In Unix, everything is a file." Directories are files, too.

In this specific case, and while this isn't the RPMforge list, but, anyway, it appears that the update of xulrunner (associated with the new Firefox, I believe) no longer provides some specific library that the rpmforge gxine package depends upon, and thus yum couldn't do the upgrade of xulrunner because the new package doesn't seem to provide that dependency any more. I of course reserve the right to be wrong. It's not something that can be fixed by CentOS, it will have to be fixed by rpmforge, as that gxine package will have to be upgraded to use something else that provides libmozjs.so. (that's where the 'Not found' under the xulrunner 10.0.1 package comes from). ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

It's (often) better to use a packaged version than to grab from CPAN. This is doubly true if the module is available from one of the official CentOS repositories. > how to remedy this problem > cpan modules installed in /usr/lib/perl/ If you run cpan (note case) as root, it should install to the correct places (assuming you trust CPAN). If you run CPAN as a normal user it generally won't be able to install to the system directories. (I think there's an option for this now, actually, so you could run everything up to "make install" as a normal user.) If that still doesn't work, move root's .cpan directory somewhere else (e.g., mv ~/.cpan ~/cpan-backup) and re-run cpan from scratch. --keith -- kkel...@wombat.san-francisco.ca.us ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
