I was missing some bleeding-edge packages, and while I was able to find the RPM packages, I was unable to find the repo path. So, thanks to this post, I was able to use it. This will probably break my Linux, so I will use it in a test environment first.
The repo file would look like this:
[koji]
name=Koji $basearch
baseurl=https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/repos/rawhide/latest/$basearch/

I had a rough experience upgrading Edgy to Feisy. Hardware listing, for generations to come: Motherboard Abit IB9, including on-board IDE controller IT8211 with firmware 1.3.1.67 and no BIOS upgrade in the near future.

Let’s say you have old shelves of either EMC or NetApp with SAS or SATA disks in them. And let’s say you want to connect them via FC to a Linux machine and have some nice ZFS machine/cluster, or whatever else. There are few things to know, and to attend in order for it to…
I have been struggling with RH Cluster 4 with VMware fencing device. This was also a good experiance with qdiskd, the Disk Quorum directive and utilization. I have several conclusions out of this experience. First, the configuration, as is: <?xml version=”1.0″?> <cluster alias=”alpha_cluster” config_version=”17″ name=”alpha_cluster”> <quorumd interval=”1″ label=”Qdisk1″ min_score=”3″ tko=”10″ votes=”3″> <heuristic interval=”2″ program=”ping vm-server…
(This article is the essence of a post from this Redhat Archive and it goes as follows: Problem: You need to detect what deletes files on your Linux Solution: Using auditd, with the right flags, you could get a lot of information. In Practice: If the mount point/directory is /oracle, then: (as root:) auditctl –w /oracle -k whodeletedit -p…
This is a tricky one. I have had to waste a lot of time. The trick is to use 32bit browser (extract firefox into $HOME/firefox and run it from there. Details below), and a full JDK package from Sun. JRE is not good enough! I have a $HOME/bin/firefox32 script which looks like this: #!/bin/bash exec…
