915resolution

         915resolution is a tool to modify the video BIOS of the 800 and 900
         series  Intel graphics chipsets. 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.
         915resolution'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.

         915resolution is derived from the tool 855resolution. However, the i
         code differs substantially. 915resolution's code base is much simpler.i
         915resolution also allows the modification of bits per pixel.

         915resolution-0.5.3-6.el5.x86_64.rpm

alpine

         Alpine is a tool for reading, sending, and managing electronic messages.
         Alpine is the successor to Pine and was developed by Computing &
         Communications at the University of Washington.

cfitsio

         CFITSIO is a library of C and FORTRAN subroutines for reading
         and writing data files in FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) i
         data format. CFITSIO is widely used in the astronomical community.

*FUSE

         With FUSE it is possible to implement a fully functional filesystem
         in a userspace program.
         fuse-smb: you can seamlessly browse your network neighbourhood as if
         it were on your own filesystem. Only when you're accessing a share is
         a connection made to the remote computer.  This also allows users to
         mount smb shares using kerberos.
         fuse-sshfs: A FUSE-filesystem client based on the
         SSH File Transfer Protocol.  On the client side mounting the
         filesystem is as easy as logging into the server with ssh.

         ipw3945d is needed to control the ipw3945 wireless card
*       ipw3945d is now turned on by default.  The startup script
*       looks for the ipw3945 hardware, and if it finds it
*       it starts up the ipw3945 deamon.
         kernel-module-ipw3945 is needed because this driver is not in
         the standard kernel.

         This driver is known to work on the Dell 820 and Dell 620.
         It is known to NOT work on the FJS S7110 (Fujitsu).

                 ipw3945-1.2.0-2.sl5.x86_64.rpm

tidy
         When editing HTML it's easy to make mistakes. Wouldn't it be nice if
         there was a simple way to fix these mistakes automatically and tidy up
         sloppy editing into nicely layed out markup? Well now there is! Dave
         Raggett's HTML TIDY is a free utility for doing just that. It also
         works great on the atrociously hard to read markup generated by
         specialized HTML editors and conversion tools, and can help you
         identify where you need to pay further attention on making your pages
         more accessible to people with disabilities.

*       In Update 2 The Upstream Vendor added more packages to their comps.xml
*       comps-sl.xml has been changed to incorporate most of The Upstream
*       Vendors changes.  Since we have merged their various comps.xml
*       files, our comps.xml will never really look like theirs.  But this
*       change brings ours more in line with their Update 2 versions.

There are minimal changes compared to the "vendor" release.  We have changed
the "rpms" that are required to be changed.  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 (http://www.libvirt.org)i
         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=atrpms list mplayer
           yum --enablerepo=dag install xine
           yum --enablerepo=flash install flash-player

         If you want the repositories to be enabled all the time then you 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 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 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 upgraded to
         them.
*       yum-conf-epel has been added so that people could use the epel yum
*       repository.  This rpm requires both yum-provides and yum-fastestmirror

*               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.

         The following rpm's had to have a variable changed so that they
         point to the current include file

         brlapi-0.4.1-1.fc6.1.i386.rpm
         brlapi-0.4.1-1.fc6.1.x86_64.rpm
         brlapi-devel-0.4.1-1.fc6.1.i386.rpm
         brlapi-devel-0.4.1-1.fc6.1.x86_64.rpm
         brltty-3.7.2-1.fc6.1.x86_64.rpm

ftp install
         Currently, during an ftp install when it get's the the graphical
         section, there is a long pause (close to a minute) when it sits
         at a blank screen.  It is NOT frozen,  it is just searching for
         files that are not there.  Give it a couple minutes and it
         will continue.
