CentOS 6.1 status update & automated QA

ditto · Nov 9, 2011

Hi people, Just to let you know that all 6.1 packages are now built and ready to produce a 6.1 installable tree (and ISOs). Most of you already know that, as they are (hopefully) using the CR repo, and so are running 6.1 packages (+6.1 updates !) on your 6.0 boxes. The first tree that needed to be generated yesterday isn't bootable and we are working on that. Once that tree will be installable, it will be pushed to two targets : * a rsync target accessible from QA people for their own manual tests (pull on request) * a QA node (pushed from the builders) That second push will automatically triggers (at least we hope so ... ) some automated QA tests around each pushed tree, with results being sent to the qa list. Let's see how it goes and how much time QA will be necessary for 6.1. Let me just repeat it in one sentence : all packages are built but the tree/isos aren't usable yet. More to come later

...and I expect 6.1 to be released within a week (including all SRPMS).

This was posted Fri Dec 2. I have a feeling that we really are getting there this time, hopefully we have CentOS 6.1 next friday!

Do you think the upgrade should be without problems regarding DirectAdmin? Or maybe it is best to wait upgrading until DirectAdmin Support confirm that they have tested 6.1?

I am currently running 6.0 64bit, and can't wait upgrading ... It been taking a long time now.

If you have a test box you should test by yourself, i really wouldnt update a production server untille da staff confirm is stable and working.

Is there enough support for ext4 ?

Good news! http://twitter.com/#!/CentOS/status/144023510614949888

6.1 Release Wrapping Up - 6.2 work underway!

We are working on wrapping up the 6.1 release and preparing to pus mirrors. QA has signed off and now we're working on the last minute tasks to get 6.1 officially released.

In other news, a bunch of packages just hit upstream -- looks as though 6.2 is released even though it hasn't been announce yet. We're already working on pulling in those updates and this will be a good test to see if all of our build and testing automation can help us cut down the release turn around time. More news to follow on 6.2 as we get a little further along in the process.h it to

Unfortunately my only "test box" is running CentOS 5.7. Has anybody yet attempted a upgrade from CentOS 6.0 to CentOS 6.1? Please post here and let us know if it is compatible with DirectAdmin for CentOS 6 or not? Thanks!

SeLLeRoNe · Dec 12, 2011

Im going to install a clean 6.1 x64 box and ill let you know.

ditto · Dec 12, 2011

Thank you very much, Andrea! Actual I don't have a test box, what I called a test box is a box that is only running one of my name servers, so I can test with it, because it does not have customers, but it is CentOS 5.x box. My production server that have my customers, is a CentOS 6.0 64 bit box running the newest DirectAdmin version.

yum install openssh-server wget gcc gcc-c++ flex bison make bind bind-libs bind-utils openssl openssl-devel perl quota libaio libcom_err-devel libcurl-dev patch

Ive installed those as pre-requisite.

Everything installed fine. Except for named

Hello,

This is the code that generates the rndc.key file. It's in the setup.sh:

Code:

        RNDCKEY=/etc/rndc.key
        if [ -e $RNDCKEY ]; then
                if [ `cat $RNDCKEY | grep -c secret` -eq 0 ]; then
                        SECRET=`/usr/sbin/rndc-confgen | grep secret | head -n 1`
                        STR="perl -pi -e 's#hmac-md5;#hmac-md5;\n\t$SECRET#' $RNDCKEY;"
                        eval $STR;
                fi
        fi

Throw that into a script and see what it does.

Although, if the key is missing, the clearly the [ -e rndc.key ] won't work.. as the file must exist for it to work.
Let me know if the key does not exist at all after bind is installed.

John

SeLLeRoNe · Dec 13, 2011

Well when problem appear file doesnt exist but named is installed.

How should i do step-by-step install? Or, how seetup install named? Yum, pre-compiled, source?

Regards

SeLLeRoNe · Dec 13, 2011

Also i think that update from 6.0 to 6.1 will cause no problem at all cause every service is already running and working.

Regards

SeLLeRoNe · Dec 13, 2011

Ok, found where and how setup install bind, manually installed it and rndc.key is not there.

Default named.conf (when install da precompiled) have:

Code:

bindkeys-file "/etc/named.iscdlv.key";

And that file exist.

After that install i didnt see anything else on setup.sh that download/create the key so the pre-compiled package doesnt install it.

Ive also noticed that running an yum update will notice those updates related:

Code:

 bind                                                  x86_64                           32:9.7.3-2.el6_1.P3.3                               updates                           3.9 M

 binutils                                              x86_64                           2.20.51.0.2-5.20.el6_1.1                            updates                           2.8 M
 ca-certificates                                       noarch                           2010.63-3.el6_1.5                                   updates                           531 k

but aswell rndc.key is not craeted (neither restarting bind)

Ill restore snapshot again and test it again... if the package doesnt create the rndc.key i dont get why second time worked...

SeLLeRoNe · Dec 13, 2011

Again, rndc.key isnt installed by bind at all.

Am i doing something wrong or rndc.key should not be installed with bind? If is not installed by bind which software should create it?

Command line:

Code:

rndc-confgen -a -c /etc/rndc.key

will correctly create the file, so, maybe should be changed the script to something like this (not a programmer feel free to correct me).

change this:

Code:

        RNDCKEY=/etc/rndc.key
        if [ -e $RNDCKEY ]; then
                if [ `cat $RNDCKEY | grep -c secret` -eq 0 ]; then
                        SECRET=`/usr/sbin/rndc-confgen | grep secret | head -n 1`
                        STR="perl -pi -e 's#hmac-md5;#hmac-md5;\n\t$SECRET#' $RNDCKEY;"
                        eval $STR;
                fi
        fi

with this

Code:

        RNDCKEY=/etc/rndc.key

        if [ ! -e $RNDCKEY ]; then
                echo "Creating RNDC key"
                rndc-confgen -a -c /etc/rndc.key
        fi

        if [ -e $RNDCKEY ]; then
                if [ `cat $RNDCKEY | grep -c secret` -eq 0 ]; then
                        SECRET=`/usr/sbin/rndc-confgen | grep secret | head -n 1`
                        STR="perl -pi -e 's#hmac-md5;#hmac-md5;\n\t$SECRET#' $RNDCKEY;"
                        eval $STR;
                fi
        fi

Hope this help.
