Announcing release for MongoDB 2.4 and 2.6 on CentOS Linux 6 x86_64 SCL

I am pleased to announce the immediate availability of versions 2.4 and 
2.6 of the MongoDB server on CentOS Linux 6 x86_64, delivered via a 
Software Collection (SCL) built by the SCLo Special Interest Group 
(https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/SCLo).

QuickStart
----------
You can get started in three easy steps (example of MongoDB 2.6):
   $ sudo yum install centos-release-scl
   $ sudo yum install rh-mongodb26 rh-mongodb26-mongodb
   $ scl enable rh-mongodb26 bash

At this point you should be able to use MongoDB just as a normal 
application. An examples of commands run might be:
   $ service rh-mongodb26-mongod start
   $ mongo

In order to view the individual components included in this collection, 
including additional subpackages, you can run:
   $ sudo yum list rh-mongodb26*

About Software Collections
--------------------------
Software Collections give you the power to build, install, and use 
multiple versions of software on the same system, without affecting 
system-wide installed packages. Each collection is delivered as a group 
of RPMs, with the grouping being done using the name of the collection 
as a prefix of all packages that are part of the software collection.

The collection rh-mongodb26 delivers version 2.6 of the MongoDB server 
(with daemon called rh-mongodb26-mongod) and related client tools. The 
collection mongodb24 delivers version 2.4 of the MongoDB server (with 
daemon called mongodb24-mongodb) and related client tools. Both 
collections also include mongo-java-driver to connect to MongoDB server 
in Java.

For more on the MongoDB, see http://mongodb.org.

The SCLo SIG in CentOS
----------------------
The Software Collections SIG group is an open community group 
co-ordinating the development of the SCL technology, and helping curate 
a reference set of collections. In addition to the MongoDB collections 
being released here, we also build and deliver other databases, web 
servers, and language stacks including multiple versions of PostgreSQL, 
MariaDB, Apache HTTP Server, NodeJS, Ruby, Python and others.

Software Collections SIG release was announced at 
https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2015-October/021446.html

You can learn more about Software Collections concepts at: 
http://softwarecollections.org
You can find information on the SIG at 
https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/SCLo ; this includes howto 
get involved and help with the effort.

We meet every second Wednesday at 16:00 UTC in #centos-devel (ref: 
https://www.centos.org/community/calendar), for an informal open forum 
open to anyone who might have comments, concerns or wants to get started 
with SCL's in CentOS.

Enjoy!

Announcing release for PostgreSQL 9.2 and 9.4 on CentOS Linux 6 x86_64 SCL

I am pleased to announce the immediate availability of versions 9.2 and 
9.4 of the PostgreSQL server on CentOS Linux 6 x86_64, delivered via a 
Software Collection (SCL) built by the SCLo Special Interest Group 
(https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/SCLo).

QuickStart
----------
You can get started in three easy steps (example of PostgreSQL 9.4):
   $ sudo yum install centos-release-scl
   $ sudo yum install rh-postgresql94
   $ scl enable rh-postgresql94 bash

At this point you should be able to use PostgreSQL just as a normal 
application. An examples of commands run might be:
   $ postgresql-setup --initdb
   $ service rh-postgresql94-postgresql start
   $ psql

Since su and sudo commands clear environment variables, we need to run 
scl enable once again for example after switching to postgres user role:
   $ su - postgres -c 'scl enable rh-postgresql94 -- psql'

In order to view the individual components included in this collection, 
including additional subpackages, you can run:
   $ sudo yum list rh-postgresql94*

as a prefix of all packages that are part of the software collection.

The collection rh-postgresql94 delivers version 9.4 of the PostgreSQL 
server and related client tools. The collection postgresql92 delivers 
version 9.2 of the PostgreSQL server and related client tools. The 
collections also include client library libpq.so, which is however only 
meant to be used by the server, while other client applications are 
advised to use the client library available in postgresql-libs package 
from base system.

Release for CentOS AltArch 7 (1511) on x86_64

I would like to announce the general availability of the following
CentOS AltArch 7 Releases:

* CentOS AltArch 7 (1511) for i686
* CentOS AltArch UserLand 7 (1511) for Armhfp
* CentOS AltArch 7 (1511) for PowerPC64 (TechPreview)
* CentOS AltArch 7 (1511) for PowerPC8 LE (TechPreview)

We anticipate CentOS AltArch 7 (1511) for Aarch64 will be ready for
release within the coming days, and will be announced independently.

The CentOS AltArch SIG is a group of people working to build alternative
architecture support derived from CentOS Linux's sources. You can find
more details about the AltArch group at
https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/AltArch including details
on how to get involved and ways to get help for architecture specific
issues.

Releases under the AltArch SIG are hosted at
http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/ and available from external mirrors
via rsync, http, ftp as usual, however under the /altarch/ path. Yum
configs shipped in the altarch builds points at mirror.centos.org
instead of mirrorlist or the external mirrors, as we are still working
through the mechanics to facilitate the wider mirrorlist process. We
hope to have this in place within the next 2 months, and updates to the
yum configs will be issued, when ready, via an updated centos-release rpm.

We are hosting a CentOS Dojo in Brussels, Belgium on the 29th Jan 2016.
Lots of the key people working on the AltArch builds will be present
there and it would be a great forum to engage with these groups. You can
get the details for the event at
https://wiki.centos.org/Events/Dojo/Brussels2016 including the
registration links.

In order to bootstrap these builds, we have turned on direct downloads
of this content from mirror.centos.org. We do encourage people with the
capacity to help seed with external mirrors. Details on howto run a
CentOS Mirror are available at
https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/CreatePublicMirrors

A key part of our AltArch plans is to make resources available to all
the other SIG's in the CentOS environment, so they are able to build,
test, deliver their content for these architectures. We are working on
setting things up, and hope to start rolling out altarch support for
https://cbs.centos.org/ in the first quarter of 2016. If you are engaged
in any of the SIGs and would like to find out more details, please come
along to our buildsystems meeting that takes place on Mondays in
#centos-devel on irc.freenode.net. Details on this meeting and the other
SIG meetings can be found in our community meetings calendar published
at https://www.centos.org/community/calendar/ .

Bug reports and feedback about specific packages should be filed at
https://bugs.centos.org/ against the relevant package name, for project
CentOS Linux 7, in the same manner as you would for x86_64. However, do
mention the architecture as applicable.

--------
CentOS AltArch 7 (1511) for i686 : This architecture build supports
32-bit Intel/AMD x86 machines and 32 bit IOT x86 boards.

CentOS AltArch UserLand 7 (1511) for Armhfp : This architecture build
delivers support for ARMv7hl devices including the Raspberry pi2, Cubie
Truck, Bananapi and similar hardware.

SIG Notes: https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/AltArch/Arm32

The armhfp build is delivered as a userland build, implying that kernel
and bootloader delivered is not derived from the CentOS Linux 7 distro,
but comes from either an upstream kernel.org mainline kernel or is a
vendor supported kernel for their own hardware piece. As such, the
Armhfp build does not aim to deliver a complete feature set, and is
labelled as a UserLand release. There are also no installer images
delivered for this architecture. The images shipped are ready to run and
are board specific. While there is plenty of desktop and X related
support available, our focus for these builds has been towards the
server and IoT roles.

We have a dedicated mailing list for the ARM ports ( both Armhfp and
Aarch64 ) at https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/arm-dev ;
questions specific to these builds and images should be posted there.

--------

I'd like to thank everyone involved in this process. We have come a long
way down the route from the initial plans of getting the AltArch project
bootstrapped, and its only down to the dedciated efforts from the people
involved in this process that we are able to deliver support for five
new architectures.

I also want to take this opportunity to point out that we run an office
hours forum, twice a week. Details are available at
https://www.centos.org/community/calendar/#Karanbir_Singh_Office_Hours ,
please feel free to stop by and say hi. We welcome comments and
questions around pretty much anything / everything relevant to the
CentOS community.

enjoy!


Announcing release for Python 2.7, 3.3 and 3.4 on CentOS Linux 6 and 7 x86_64 SCL

I am pleased to announce the immediate availability of versions 2.7, 3.3 
and 3.4 of the Python on CentOS Linux 6 x86_64 and CentOS Linux 7 
x86_64, delivered via a Software Collection (SCL) built by the SCLo 
Special Interest Group (https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/SCLo).

QuickStart
----------
You can get started in three easy steps (example of Python 3.4):
   $ sudo yum install centos-release-scl
   $ sudo yum install rh-python34
   $ scl enable rh-python34 bash

At this point you should be able to use python just as a normal
application. An examples of commands run might be:
   $ python my-app.py
   $ easy_install Flask
   $ easy_install Django
   $ bundle

In order to view the individual components included in this
collection, including additional python modules, you can run:
   $ sudo yum list rh-python34*

About Software Collections
--------------------------
Software Collections give you the power to build, install, and use 
multiple versions of software on the same system, without affecting 
system-wide installed packages. Each collection is delivered as a group 
of RPMs, with the grouping being done using the name of the collection 
as a prefix of all packages that are part of the software collection.

The collections rh-python34, python33 and python27 deliver versions 3.4, 
3.3 and 2.7 of the Python interpreter, pip installer (except python33, 
which does not include pip) and some other modules that are also 
included in the collections as RPMs.

For more on the Python, see https://www.python.org/.

The SCLo SIG in CentOS
----------------------
The Software Collections SIG group is an open community group 
co-ordinating the development of the SCL technology, and helping curate 
a reference set of collections. In addition to the Python collections 
being released here, we also build and deliver databases, web servers, 
and language stacks including multiple versions of PostgreSQL, MariaDB, 
Apache HTTP Server, NodeJS, Ruby and others.

Software Collections SIG release was announced at 
https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2015-October/021446.html

You can learn more about Software Collections concepts at: 
http://softwarecollections.org
You can find information on the SIG at 
https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/SCLo ; this includes howto 
get involved and help with the effort.

We meet every second Wednesday at 16:00 UTC in #centos-devel (ref: 
https://www.centos.org/community/calendar), for an informal open forum 
open to anyone who might have comments, concerns or wants to get started 
with SCL's in CentOS.

Announcing release for Ruby 1.9.3, 2.0.0, 2.2 and Ruby on Rails 3.2, 4.0, 4.1 on CentOS Linux 6 x86_64 SCL

I am pleased to announce the immediate availability versions 1.9.3, 
2.0.0, and 2.2 of the Ruby, and versions 3.2, 4.0 and 4.1 of the Ruby on 
Rails, now also on CentOS Linux 6 x86_64, delivered via a Software 
Collection (SCL) built by the SCLo Special Interest Group 
(https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/SCLo).

This is an addition for the Ruby collections that are already available 
for CentOS 7 
(https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2015-November/021501.html).

QuickStart
----------
You can get started in three easy steps (example of Ruby 2.2 and Ruby on 
Rails 4.1):
$ sudo yum install centos-release-scl
$ sudo yum install rh-ruby22 rh-ror41
$ scl enable rh-ruby22 bash

At this point you should be able to use ruby just as a normal
application. An examples of commands run might be:
$ ruby my-app.rb
$ gem install activeresource
$ bundle

In order to view the individual components included in this
collection, including additional rubygems plugins, you can run:
$ sudo yum list rh-ruby22* rh-ror41*

The rh-ror41 collection relies on the rh-ruby22 collection and the ror40 
collection relies on the ruby200 collection, so the Ruby collections 
will be also installed when the Ruby on Rails collection is installed.

About Software Collections
--------------------------
Software Collections give you the power to build, install, and use 
multiple versions of software on the same system, without affecting 
system-wide installed packages. Each collection is delivered as a group 
of RPMs, with the grouping being done using the name of the collection 
as a prefix of all packages that are part of the software collection.

The collection rh-ruby22 delivers bundler and version 2.2 of the Ruby 
interpreter, while the collection rh-ror41 delivers version 4.1 of the 
Ruby on Rails framework that allows to create and run applications in 
Ruby or Ruby on Rails framework.

The collection ruby200 delivers version 2.0.0 of the Ruby interpreter, 
while the ror40 collection delivers version 4.0 of the Ruby on Rails 
framework and bundler.

The collection ruby193 delivers version 1.9.3 of the Ruby interpreter, 
bundler and version 3.2 of the Ruby on Rails framework.

Some of the most common rubygems are also included in the collections as 
RPMs, the rest may be installed using bundler or gem tools.

For more on the Ruby and Ruby on Rails, see https://www.ruby-lang.org, 
http://rubyonrails.org or https://rubygems.org.
