Regarding haproxy package init script bug!
by Ahmed Medhat 31 Aug '08

31 Aug '08

Hello, I found a problem when doing `/etc/init.d/haproxy stop` whenever the `nbproc` value is set to any value greater than 1 that only one process gets terminated from the total defined number of `nbproc`, So let's say we set nbproc value to 2 and try to restart haproxy, 2 separate _mother_ processes will be created and their pids will be listed /var/run/haproxy.pid in separate lines, Actually I am totally convinced that it is technically a bug within haproxy as they should be having some sort of mother process which fork as many child processes as needed and distribute them among processors but also after evaluating how the init script tend to stop the processes it seems that it is using the function killproc from /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions which if it did have some sort of a loop to get all new line separated pids from pid files and terminate them in order would've been a solution as it's not the first time I see a pid file listing pids for a number of processes, but there could also be another number of solution regarding this issue. To fix this issue _temporarily_ I replaced the line where it says `killproc $prog` with the following. for i in $(cat /var/run/$prog.pid); do kill -9 $i; done Which should be a temporarily fix. Thanks, /Ahmed Medhat/

How do I find out what versions/packages are in the builders?
by Richard W.M. Jones 28 Aug '08

28 Aug '08

We're trying to build collectd in EPEL 5. It fails because the version of libvirt is missing a symbol which was added relatively recently. How do I find out what precise versions of packages are in the EPEL builders?

OCaml 3.10.2
by Richard W.M. Jones 26 Aug '08

26 Aug '08

I would really like to upgrade OCaml in EPEL 5 to version 3.10.2. The main reason is that much of the other software we'd like to ship with EPEL needs the new camlp4 [1], which was introduced with OCaml >= 3.10.0. (EPEL ships with OCaml 3.09.3 at present). http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/repoview/ocaml.html Backporting the software to the older OCaml is going to be very complicated. The two versions of camlp4 (< 3.10.0 and >= 3.10.0) are really incompatible. The newer one is much more featureful and is rapidly displacing older versions. Backporting just the newer camlp4 to the older compiler is also considered intractable, since the compiler and camlp4 are closely linked. Now the downside to doing this is that it would require any OCaml users of EPEL 5 to recompile their software. This may just be a simple recompile, but there are also worst-case scenarios such as people using and relying on the old camlp4 who may have to make modifications of their software. So it's quite a big disruption for everyone. I'm also very aware that EPEL is supposed to be long-term stable. Comments? Rich.

EPEL builds
by Mike McGrath 26 Aug '08

26 Aug '08

Hey guys, so we've almost got epel builds back online. Right now there's a communication problem between our plague server and our ppc builders. I've put a ticket in to the network team. As soon as that's done epel builds should be working again. Right now if you submit a build. It will just queue until that PPC builder is ready again. Also with our new keys, the plague client is failing. See: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2008-August/msg00996.html for a description of the problem and its resolution. I believe a new plague client will be built soon to solve this issue. -Mike
