This includes the 845G, 855G, and 865G chipsets, as well as 915G, 915GM, and 945G chipsets. This modification is necessary to allow the display of certain graphics resolutions for an Xorg or XFree86 graphics server. resolution's modifications of the BIOS are transient. There is no risk of permanent modification of the BIOS. This also means that 915resolution must be run every time the computer boots inorder for it's changes to take effect. resolution is derived from the tool 855resolution. However, the icode differs substantially.915resolution's code base is much simpler. resolution also allows the modification of bits per pixel. resolution-0.5.3-6.el5.x86_64.rpm alpine Alpine is a tool for reading, sending, and managing electronic messages.

These changes are defined by the "vendor". redhat-artwork-5.0.9-1.SL.2.x86_64.rpm redhat-artwork-5.0.9-1.SL.2.i386.rpm redhat-logos-4.9.16-1.SL.6.noarch.rpm * sl-release-5.2-1.x86_64.rpm * sl-release-notes-5.2-1.noarch.rpm sl-release changes the default mozilla and firefox bookmarks. sl-release changes the default rhn configuration to use yum and points this configuration to ftp.scientificlinux.org sl-release removed the firstboot additional cd's question redhat-logos was changed to add the "photographs" shown during the install These rpm's are not required to be changed by the vendor, but we felt they needed to be changed *gdm-2.16.0-46.sl5.x86_64.rpm Changed the default theme from RHEL to EaseOfBlue * pirut-1.3.28-13.sl.noarch.rpm * Removed "Requires: rhn-setup-gnome" rhgb-0.16.4-8.sl.1.x86_64.rpm Changed the colors. python-virtinst virtinst is a module to help in starting installations inside of virtual machines. It supports both paravirt guests as well as fully virtualized guests. It uses libvirt (for starting things. Also contained is a simple script virt-install which uses virtinst in a command line mode. It was only configured to know about TUV virtual machines. We added a patch so that it knew about Scientific Linux, and thus be able to install SL paravirtual machines. *python-virtinst-0.300.2-8.sl.noarch.rpm yum Yum version 2.4 and above has the kernel-module plugin that let's yum understand how kernel-module rpm's are related to kernels. Because of this updates dealing with kernel-module rpm's (such as afs) now work yum-conf * priorities have been set on the repositories. But you have to have * yum-priorities installed for them to take effect. metadata_expire variable was set to 20 hours to allow for normal users to be able to use yum for those commands they can run yum-conf has the following repositories in it sl-base (enabled) sl-security (enabled) sl-testing (not enabled) sl-fastbugs (not enabled) sl-bugfix-51 (not enabled) atrpms (not enabled) dag (not enabled) flash (not enabled) Not all repositories are enabled by default. To enable them for one time use, use the --enablerepo command, such as yum --enablerepo=3Datrpms list mplayer yum --enablerepo=3Ddag install xine yum--enablerepo=3Dflash install flash-player If you want the repositories to be enabled all the time then y ou need to edit the config files and change enabled=0 to enabled=1. The config files are in the /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory and are named like /etc/yum.repos.d/atrpms.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/dag.repo NOTE1: Just because a yum repository exists does NOT mean it is compatible with all other yum repositories. We have included the repositories we did because they usually work well together . But if there is a problem with one of the packages in a repository, please contact that repository maintainer. yum-autoupdate yum-autoupdate has the check for a running yum in it, so thatif yum has been running for a long time (close to 24 hours), when the yum.cron starts up, it will kill the old yum. This was changed because we had reports that yum was hanging and we didn't want this to interfere with updates. yum-autoupdate checks to see how long the machine is been up If it is up less than 20 hours, it doesn't wait, but does the update. If it is longer than 20 hours, it waits a random time, up to 3 hours. This uptime check was done to help laptops and other machines that might not be on long enough to wait for the random time. The random time was put it in so that servers arn't overwhelmed . yum-conf-5x was created for those users who want to be at the latest stable release. It is always pointing at the 5x area. This means that when we make new versions you will automatically be upgr aded to them. * yum-conf-epel has been added so that people could use the epel y um * repository. This rpm requires both yum-provides and yum-fastest mirror *yum-3.2.8-10.sl.noarch.rpm yum-autoupdate-1-1.SL.noarch.rpm * yum-conf-52-2.SL.noarch.rpm * yum-conf-5x-1-5.SL.noarch.rpm * yum-conf-epel-5-1.noarch.rpm *yum-rhn-plugin-0.5.3-6.el5_2.6.noarch.rpm *yum-updatesd-0.9-2.sl.noarch.rpm Apache Changed index.html to not have Upstream Vendor info but to have SL info. * httpd-2.2.3-11.sl5.3.1.x86_64.rpm *httpd-devel-2.2.3-11.sl5.3.1.x86_64.rpm * httpd-manual-2.2.3-11.sl5.3.1.x86_64.rpm * mod_ssl-2.2.3-11.sl5.3.1.x86_64.rpm *httpd-devel-2.2.3-11.sl5.3.1.i386.rpm Changed in order to be built Some rpm's had to be changed in order for us to build them.

This includes the 845G, 855G, and 5G chipsets, as well as 915G, 915GM, and 945G chipsets. This modification is necessary to allow the display of certain graphics resolutions for an Xorg or XFree86 graphics server. resolution's modifications of the BIOS are transient. There is no risk of permanent modification of the BIOS. This also means that resolution must be run every time the computer boots inorder for it's changes to take effect. resolution is derived from the tool855resolution. However, the i code differs substantially. 915resolution's code base is much simpler. resolution also allows the modification of bits per pixel. alpine Alpine is a tool for reading, sending, and managing electronic m essages.

It supports both paravirt guests as well as fully virtualized guests. It uses libvirt (https://libvirt.org/) for starting things. Also contained is a simple script virt-install which uses virtinst in a command line mode. It was only configured to know about TUV virtual machines. We a dded a patch so that it knew about Scientific Linux, and thus be able to install SL paravirtual machines. *python-virtinst-0.300.2-8.sl.noarch.rpm yum Yum version 2.4 and above has the kernel-module plugin that le t's yum understand how kernel-module rpm's are related to kernels. Be cause of this updates dealing with kernel-module rpm's (such as afs) no w work yum-conf * priorities have been set on the repositories. But you have to h ave * yum-priorities installed for them to take effect. metadata_expire variable was set to 20 hours to allow for norm al users to be able to use yum for those commands they can run yum-conf has the following repositories in it sl-base (enabled) sl-security (enabled) sl-testing (not enabled) sl-fastbugs (not enabled) sl-bugfix-51 (not enabled) atrpms (not enabled) dag (not enabled) flash (not enabled) Not all repositories are enabled by default. To enable them for one time use, use the --enablerepo command, s uch as yum --enablerepo atrpms list mplayer yum --enablerepo dag install xine yum --enablerepo adobe install flash-player If you want the repositories to be enabled all the time then yo u need to edit the config files and change enabled=0 to enabled=1. The config files are in the /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory and are named like /etc/yum.repos.d/atrpms.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/dag.repo NOTE1: Just because a yum repository exists does NOT mean it is compatible with all other yum repositories. We have inclu ded the repositories we did because they usually work well together. But if there is a problem with one of the packages in a repository, ple ase contact that repository maintainer. yum-autoupdate yum-autoupdate has the check for a running yum in it, so that if yum has been running for a long time (close to 24 hours), when the yum.cron starts up, it will kill the old yum. This was changed because we had reports that yum was hanging and we didn't wa nt this to interfere with updates. yum-autoupdate checks to see how long the machine is been up If it is up less than 20 hours, itdoesn't wait, but does the update. If it is longer than 20 hours, it waits a random time, up to 3 h ours. This uptime check was done to help laptops and other machines that might not be on long enough to wait for the random time. The random time was put it in so that servers arn't overwhelmed. yum-conf-5x was created for those users who want to be at the l atest stable release. It is always pointing at the 5x area. This me ans that when we make new versions you will automatically be upgrad ed to them. * yum-conf-epel has been added so that people could use the epel y um * repository.

Each cd set has a group of directories which contain the actual rpms. On the Client cd this consists of Client,Workstation and VT. On the Server cd this consists of Server,VT,Cluster, ClusterStorage. The VT directory contains the same rpms on each cd. The Cluster, ClusterStorage and Workstation directories do not have anycommon rpms. The Client and Server directories contain many common rpms along with many unique rpms. Scientific Linux has combined all of the rpm's from Client, Server, V T, Cluster, ClusterStorage, and Workstation into the SL directory.
