I hope somebody showed up! -- Sent from my mobile device I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Seeking volunteer to help with local non-profit's website
by Mike Peckar July 8, 2013

July 8, 2013

Literacy Volunteers of Greater Worcester, lvgw.org, is seeking a volunteer for a one-off project to refresh their website. This is not an ongoing commitment. Not sure if the backend tools the use for site management are linux-based, but I suspect they are not. Their goals are: 1. Updating LVGW's website to make it more user friendly, interactive and functional 2. The current website needs some work to make it easier to use and update. This person would also mentor a staff member about these issues Please contact me offline if you are interested. They are also separately looking for a volunteer archivist to create an online database of their historical and research data. Hope you don't think this crosses the line of fair use of this list, but it is for a good cause. Mike

Release cycle for RHEL / CentOS 6
by Eric Martin July 2, 2013

July 2, 2013

Hi All, The subversion server at my office is on a CentOS 6 server, and a software developer wrote a hook in python for it. The hook requires python 2.7, but CentOS 6 only has 2.6.6 (python-2.6.6-36.el6 to be exact). I grabbed python-2.7.2-5.2.fc16.src.rpm from Fedora 16 and am trying to roll my own via instructions I found on the CentOS wiki. All is good except that it requires db4.8, and that's not out for RHEL6 either. >From where I stand, it looks like my options are: 1) wait this out until either Python or a dependency are pushed up, but when is that? 2) rebuild this package with the deps, but I'm not quite sure how to roll a -devel package 3) roll my own package from scratch 4) install python 2.7 in an alternate location and point to it for this script Since this is a production server, I'd rather no do any hacks on this. Does anybody know how the release schedule works, or have any other advice? Thanks in advance, -- Eric Martin
