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.el4.i386.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.
Our version of alpine 2.00 has the following changes compared to
our 1.0 version
An /etc/alpine/pine.conf.sample file is installed, no longer overwriting
an existing pine.conf Therefore an existing pine.conf in /etc/alpine
will be left untouched even after the upgrade. For an installation from
scratch it is advantageous to copy the sample conf file to pine.conf,
but alpine works also without it.
Users are now able to use a .alpine.passfile
This version of alpine when it writes to a large old Unix mailbox format
email area can be very slow. The best solution to this is to convert
your old Unix mailbox files to "mix" format mail files.
More info can be obtained from

Cluster Suite & GFS
A bug fix required a minor change to the cman/sm message formats
between SL 4.1 and SL 4.2 that make the two versions incompatible, so all
nodes need to be running the SL 4.2 version.
In other words:
If you have to upgrade from SL 4.0 and 4.1, you have to updated your
whole cluster at once.

dropit
dropit's intended purpose is to remove directories entries from a
PATH shell variable value, which has colon separated fields.
dropit is usable in sh, ksh, and csh shell script files.

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.

Intel wireless firmware
Firmware for the Intel® PRO/Wireless 2100 and 2200 Driver.
Please read the license that comes in the rpm carefully.
ipw2200-firmware-2.4 includes both version 2.4.xx and 2.2.xx
This is needed because newer kernels have a newer driver that
needs the newer firmware. Older kernels, with older drivers,
need the 2.2 firmware version.
ipw2100-firmware-1.3-5.noarch.rpm
ipw2200-firmware-3.0-1.noarch.rpm
ipw3945d is needed to control the ipw3945 wireless card
kernel-module-ipw3945 is needed because this driver is not in
the standard kernel. Note that the installer does NOT know
how to enable the 3945 wireless. You will have to add the
starting of the /sbin/ipw3945d in your startup scripts.
This driver is known to work on the Dell 820 and Dell 620.
It is known to NOT work on the FJS S7110 (Fujitsu).

*JAVA
* java-1.6.0-sun-compat-1.6.0.24-3.sl4.jpp.i586.rpm
This package provides JPackage compatibility symlinks and
directories for Sun's JDK rpm.
* jdk-1.6.0_24-fcs.i586.rpm
This package is the java sdk from sun.
It's license is found at misc/licenses/j2sdk-1.4.2-x.license
To have all of it's links (including plugins) setup correctly
you should also install java-1.5.0-sun-compat
So the easiest thing to do is
yum install java-1.6.0-sun-compat
as it will automatically pull in the current jdk-1.6.0 rpm.
There is no gpg signature on this rpm. Putting one would violate
the user license. It also does not load if one is put on.
ksh
From ATT. Same version as one in SL30x.

ndiswrapper
The ndiswrapper project makes it possible to use WLAN-Hardware
with Linux by means of a loadable kernel module that "wraps
around" NDIS (Windows network driver API) drivers. These rpms contain
just the kernel module and loader. You will also need the Windows driver
for your card.
The installer does NOT install ndiswrapper, you have to install it by
either selecting it on the Packages Install page during the install or
adding later via yum or apt.
WARNING: Scientific Linux-Kernels use 4K size stack. Many Windows drivers
will need at least 8K size stacks. For details read the wiki on:

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 formated markup?
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 i
pages more accessible to people with disabilities.

unionfs
Unionfs builds a stackable unification file system, which
can appear to merge the contents of several directories (branches),
while keeping their physical content separate. Unionfs is useful
for unified source tree management, merged contents of split
CD-ROM, merged separate software package directories, data grids,
and more. Unionfs allows any mix of read-only and read-write
branches, as well as insertion and deletion of branches anywhere
in the fan-out.

yum
NOTE: That just because a yum repository exists does NOT mean
it is SL 4.4 compatible with all other SL 4.4 yum repositories.
Use of other "packages" such as "smart" may cause the rpm database
to be not compatible with yum.
createrepo is used to create yum repositories on the server for
yum 2.1 and above, and possibly future versions of apt.
yum-conf has the check for a running yum in it, so that if
yum has been running for a long time, when the yum.cron
starts up, it will kill the old yum. This was changed because we
had reports that yum was "hanging".
yum-conf-4.1-4.SL has atrpms, dag, and dries repo's in it, but they
are not enabled by default. To enable them for one time use, use the
--enablerepo command, such as
yum --enablerepo=atrpms list madwifi
yum --enablerepo=dag install mplayer
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

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
python-elementtree, python-sqlite, sqlite, and urlgrabber are all
needed for yum 2.4 and above.
New for yum-conf-4.3: a sl-testing area (not on by default)
and yum.cron now 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
This uptime check was done to help laptops and other machines that
might not be on long enough to wait for the random time.
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
There is a fastbug repo area to correspond to the vendors fasttrack
This is not on by default.
yum-conf-4x was created for those users who want to be at the latest
stable release. It is always pointing at the 4x area. This means
that when we make new versions you will automatically be upgraded to
them.
We have changed flash.repo to be adobe.repo
adobe.repo now points to the repository at linuxdownload.adobe.com

Vendor "logo" and other required changes
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".
sl-release has been determined to be the place to change several
global properties. This is how fedora does it.
sl-release changes the default mozilla and firefox bookmarks.
sl-release changes the default up2date configuration to use yum and
points this configuration to ftp.scientificlinux.org
Fixes /etc/redhat-release containing "Release" vs "release"
Includes SL.releasenote
Changes grub to put in the new release name for the default kernel
indexhtml-4.1-1.SL.1.noarch.rpm
redhat-artwork-0.120.1-1.2SL.2.i386.rpm
redhat-logos-1.1.25-1.SL.8.noarch.rpm
* sl-release-4.9-1.noarch.rpm
These rpm's are not required to be changed by the vendor, we removed
some vendor references customizations
desktop-backgrounds-basic-2.0-26.2.3SL.noarch.rpm
desktop-backgrounds-extra-2.0-26.2.3SL.noarch.rpm
*comps-49-0.*.i386.rpm
RPM which contains the comps.xml file used during the install.
Needed by Rocks.
The comps.xml file got a update with SL 4.7.
All groups are now alphabetical
Groups that are completely commented out have been removed.
Where available, I have updated the international group name and
description to be the same as Update 7
Except for where I have specifically added or removed a package
or default setting, I have updated the groups to be the same as Update 7
Most changes were minor, but the following were noteworthy
- audit is now optional in the core group
- development-tools now includes the group emacs and xemacs
The comps.xml file got a update with SL 4.8.
Group - Cluster Suite - Updated to match Vendors
Group - compat-arch-support - Updated to match Vendors
Group - openfabrics-enterprise-distribution - Updated to match Vendors
Group - compat-arch-development - Updated to match Vendors
Group - editors - Fixed vim-X11 entry
Group - yum - added optional yum-utils and various yum plugins
glade2-2.6.0-1.SL4.i386.rpm
glade2 has an bug so that all you got was a blank window when it started.
This was an infinate loop bug, which was fixed.
Apache
Changed index.html to not have Upstream Vendor info but to
have SL info.

LIMITATIONS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Virtulization
Scientific Linux 4.5 can *not* be a xen host, only a guest.
Scientific Linux 4.5 and above have a xen kernel. This allows them
to be installed as a xen paravirtulizaed guest. Follow the Virtual Host's
instructions for installing a paravirtulizaed guest, to install
Scientific Linux 4.5 as a xen guest.
Paravirtualizaed guests on Scientific Linux 5.0
This is a limitation of Scientific Linux 5.0, but affects installing
Scientific Linux 4.5 as a paravirtulized guest. These limitations will
hopefully be fixed in Scientific Linux 5.1 or 5.2
- 32 bit (i386) paravirtualized guests cannot run on a
64 bit (x86_64) host (dom0). It will fail.
- 64 bit (x86_64) paravirtualized guests cannot run on a
32 bit (i386) host (dom0). It will fail.
Fully Virtualizaed guests on Scientific Linux 5.0
This is a limitation of Scientific Linux 5.0, but affects installing
Scientific Linux 4.5 as a fully virtulized guest.
- 64 bit fully-virtulizaed guests cannot run on a
32 bit (i386) host (dom0). It will fail.
system-config-packages add,remove packages
This does NOT work use yum instead.
up2date
up2date is not supported in Scientific Linux.
Please use yum instead.
ipw3945
Does not work in the installer and does not work on some laptops.
3ware 8xxx and 9xxx in same system
Grub can get confused about which "drives" are which if both
of these cards are installed. You can either run grub manually
before rebooting or use "noprobe" during the install and install
only the 3ware driver for the card that you will be booting off of.

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.el4.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.
Our version of alpine 2.00 has the following changes compared to
our 1.0 version
An /etc/alpine/pine.conf.sample file is installed, no longer overwriting
an existing pine.conf Therefore an existing pine.conf in /etc/alpine
will be left untouched even after the upgrade. For an installation from
scratch it is advantageous to copy the sample conf file to pine.conf,
but alpine works also without it.
Users are now able to use a .alpine.passfile
This version of alpine when it writes to a large old Unix mailbox format
email area can be very slow. The best solution to this is to convert
your old Unix mailbox files to "mix" format mail files.
More info can be obtained from
Evaluation of file formats:

Cluster Suite & GFS
A bug fix required a minor change to the cman/sm message formats
between SL 4.1 and SL 4.2 that make the two versions incompatible, so all
nodes need to be running the SL 4.2 version.
In other words:
If you have to upgrade from SL 4.0 and 4.1, you have to updated your
whole cluster at once.

Firefox
Added i386 version of firefox because there are not very many
plugins for the x86_64 version.

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.

ipw3945 Intel Wireless
ipw3945d is needed to control the ipw3945 wireless card
kernel-module-ipw3945 is needed because this driver is not in
the standard kernel. The installer does not enable this hardware.
You will need to start /sbin/ipw3945d in your startup scripts.
ipw3945-firmware is not installed by default. It kept pulling
in other ip23945 packages.

JAVA
* java-1.6.0-sun-compat-1.6.0.24-3.sl4.jpp.i586.rpm
This package provides JPackage compatibility symlinks and
directories for Sun's JDK rpm.
* jdk-1.6.0_24-fcs.i586.rpm
This packages is the java sdk from sun.
It's license is found at misc/licenses/j2sdk-1.5.0-x.license
To have all of it's links (including plugins) setup correctly you should
also install java-1.5.0-sun-compat
So the easiest thing to do is
yum install java-1.6.0-sun-compat
as it will automatically pull in the current jdk-1.6.0 rpm.
There is no gpg signature on this rpm. Putting one would violate
the user license. It also does not load if one is put on.
ksh
From ATT, same version as is in SL30x.

ndiswrapper
The ndiswrapper project makes it possible to use WLAN-Hardware
with Linux by means of a loadable kernel module that "wraps
around" NDIS (Windows network driver API) drivers. These rpms contain
just the kernel module and loader. You will also need the Windows driver
for your card.

NumPy
http://numpy.scipy.org//
NumPy derives from the old Numeric code base and can be used as a
replacement for Numeric. It also adds the features introduced by
Numarray and can also be used to replace Numarray.
This package contains:
- a powerful N-dimensional array object
- sophisticated (broadcasting) functions
- basic linear algebra functions
- basic Fourier transforms
- sophisticated random number capabilities
- tools for integrating Fortran code.

http://www.r-project.org/
R is a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics.
It is a GNU project which is similar to the S language and environment
which was developed at Bell Laboratories by John Chambers and colleagues.
R can be considered as a different implementation of S. There are some
important differences, but much code written for S runs unaltered under R.

SL_disable_print_notification-1.0-4.noarch.rpm
Removes eggcups notification. Not installed by default.
SL_enable_serialconsole-3.1-4.noarch.rpm
This script makes all the changes necessary to send
console output to both the serial port and the screen. This
also creates a login prompt on the serial port and allows users
to login at this prompt.
Updated to include a missing dependency.
SL_enable_slocate_cron-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
By default slocate does not run daily, it is turned off in it's
config file. This turns it on when the rpm is added, and
turns it back off when the rpm is removed.
SL_firefox_parentlock_fix-1.0-10.noarch.rpm
When a users home area is in AFS space, it is possible for
firefox, thunderbird, and/or seamonkey to leave a lock file called
.parentlock when they are closed. The user is then not able to
restart their problem until that lock file is removed.
This puts in a startup script that cleans up that file.
SL_inittab_change-1.0-6.noarch.rpm
Changes /etc/inittab to require the root password for
single user mode. Not installed by default.
SL_libg2c.a_change-3.4.3-1.noarch.rpm
Creates a missing symbolic link in the gcc-g77 package from
/usr/lib/libg2c.a to it's proper place
SL_no_colorls-1.0-2.noarch.rpm
Turns off "color" of ls. Not installed by default.
SL_pc_speaker-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
This package changes the rc.sysinit boot script so that
the pcspkr kernel module is loaded at an early stage.
This will allow the PC speaker to beep again.
SL_rpm_show_arch-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
Adds arch to "rpm -qa" listing.
SL_sendmail_accept-1.1-3.noarch.rpm
Changes Sendmail config so that it allows incomming mail.
Not installed by default.
Removed the obsoletes of zz_sendmail_accept as it is not needed now
squashfs

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 people with disabilities.

unionfs
Unionfs builds a stackable unification file system, which
can appear to merge the contents of several directories (branches),
while keeping their physical content separate. Unionfs is useful
for unified source tree management, merged contents of split
CD-ROM, merged separate software package directories, data grids,
and more. Unionfs allows any mix of read-only and read-write
branches, as well as insertion and deletion of branches anywhere
in the fan-out.

yum
NOTE: That just because a yum repository exists does NOT mean
it is SL 4.4 compatible with all other SL 4.4 yum repositories.
Use of other "packages" such as "smart" may cause the rpm database
to be not compatible with yum.
createrepo is used to create yum repositories on the server for
yum 2.1 and above, and possibly future versions of apt.
yum-conf has the check for a running yum in it, so that if
yum has been running for a long time, when the yum.cron
starts up, it will kill the old yum. This was changed because we
had reports that yum was "hanging".
yum-conf-4.1-4.SL has atrpms, dag, and dries repo's in it, but they
are not enabled by default. To enable them for one time use, use the
--enablerepo command, such as
yum --enablerepo=atrpms list madwifi
yum --enablerepo=dag install mplayer
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
/etc/yum.repos.d/atrpms.repo
/etc/yum.repos.d/dag.repo
/etc/yum.repos.d/dries.repo
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
python-elementtree, python-sqlite, sqlite, and urlgrabber are all
needed for yum 2.4 and above.
New for yum-conf-4.3: a sl-testing area (not on by default)
and yum.cron now 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
This uptime check was done to help laptops and other machines that
might not be on long enough to wait for the random time.
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
There is a fastbug repo area to correspond to the vendors fasttrack
This is not on by default.
yum-conf-4x was created for those users who want to be at the latest
stable release. It is always pointing at the 4x area. This means
that when we make new versions you will automatically be upgraded to
them.
We have changed flash.repo to be adobe.repo
adobe.repo now points to the repository at linuxdownload.adobe.com

Vendor "logo" and other required changes
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".
sl-release has been determined to be the place to change several
global properties. This is how fedora does it.
sl-release changes the default mozilla and firefox bookmarks.
sl-release changes the default up2date configuration to use yum and
points this configuration to ftp.scientificlinux.org
Changes grub to put in the new release name for the default kernel

we made minor customizations
desktop-backgrounds-basic-2.0-26.2.3SL.noarch.rpm
desktop-backgrounds-extra-2.0-26.2.3SL.noarch.rpm
fontconfig
had to be recompiled so the the md5sum of fonts-conf matched
for both i386 and x86_64, since they both were the same file.

fontconfig-2.2.3-7.SL4.x86_64.rpm
fontconfig-devel-2.2.3-7.SL4.x86_64.rpm
*comps-49-0.*.x86_64.rpm
RPM which contains the comps.xml file used during the install.
Needed by Rocks.
The comps.xml file got a update with SL 4.7.
All groups are now alphabetical
Groups that are completely commented out have been removed.
Where available, I have updated the international group name and
description to be the same as Update 7
Except for where I have specifically added or removed a package
or default setting, I have updated the groups to be the same as Update 7
Most changes were minor, but the following were noteworthy
- audit is now optional in the core group
- development-tools now includes the group emacs and xemacs
The comps.xml file got a update with SL 4.8.
Group - Cluster Suite - Updated to match Vendors
Group - compat-arch-support - Updated to match Vendors
Group - openfabrics-enterprise-distribution - Updated to match Vendors
Group - compat-arch-development - Updated to match Vendors
Group - editors - Fixed vim-X11 entry
glade2-2.6.0-1.SL4.x86_64.rpm
glade2 has an bug so that all you got was a blank window when it started.
This was an infinate loop bug, which was fixed.
(removed S.L. 4.2)pam_krb5-2.1.2-1.SL.1.i386.rpm
(removed S.L. 4.2)pam_krb5-2.1.2-1.SL.1.x86_64.rpm
The bugs fixed by patches added to pam_krb5-2.1.2-1 have been
addressed and are no longer needed. We are now using the
vendors package again.
If you have kerberos enabled, and AFS installed, and you are
finding that your login's are taking a long time, then you
will want to put "ignore_afs = true" in the pam section of
your /etc/krb5.conf file. You will not get an AFS token
when you authenticate, but you weren't before either.
Apache
Changed index.html to not have Upstream Vendor info but to
have SL info.

LIMITATIONS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Virtulization
Scientific Linux 4.5 can *not* be a xen host, only a guest.
Scientific Linux 4.5 and above have a xen kernel. This allows them
to be installed as a xen paravirtulizaed guest. Follow the Virtual Host's
instructions for installing a paravirtulizaed guest, to install
Scientific Linux 4.5 as a xen guest.
Paravirtualizaed guests on Scientific Linux 5.0
This is a limitation of Scientific Linux 5.0, but affects installing
Scientific Linux 4.5 as a paravirtulized guest. These limitations will
hopefully be fixed in Scientific Linux 5.1 or 5.2
- 32 bit (i386) paravirtualized guests cannot run on a
64 bit (x86_64) host (dom0). It will fail.
- 64 bit (x86_64) paravirtualized guests cannot run on a
32 bit (i386) host (dom0). It will fail.
Fully Virtualizaed guests on Scientific Linux 5.0
This is a limitation of Scientific Linux 5.0, but affects installing
Scientific Linux 4.5 as a fully virtulized guest.
- 64 bit fully-virtulizaed guests cannot run on a
32 bit (i386) host (dom0). It will fail.
