Korn shell from ATT

 	ksh93-2000.10.31.0-1.i386.rpm

mpg321, xmms-mp3, libmad, libid3tag

        Because of licensing reasons RedHat did not include MP3 support
        in their distribution.  While this does not fill all cases, this
        does allow some of the more popular music players to use mp3's.
        libmad and libid3tag were added for dependancy reasons.
 
		mpg321-0.2.10-4.fr.x86_64.rpm
		xmms-mp3-1.2.7-2.x86_64.rpm
		libmad-0.15.1b-1.fr.x86_64.rpm
		libmad-devel-0.15.1b-1.fr.x86_64.rpm
		libid3tag-0.15.1b-1.fr.x86_64.rpm
		libid3tag-devel-0.15.1b-1.fr.x86_64.rpm

IceWM
  
   	A small and fast window manager.  Good for slower systems or
  	systems with not much memory.  It is put it in the graphical login's
   	session list if installed.
  
  	icewm-1.2.20-2.x86_64.rpm
   	icewm-l10n-1.2.20-2.x86_64.rpm

Java
 
 	java-1.4.2-sun-compat-1.4.2.12-1jpp.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-1.4.2-sun-compat
          So the easiest thing to do is
             yum install java-1.4.2-sun-compat
             as it will automatically pull in j2sdk-1.4.2_08-fcs.i586.rpm
 	j2sdk-1.4.2_12-fcs.i586.rpm
  	   This package provides JPackage compatibility symlinks and
           directories for Sun's JDK rpm

 	The vendor added the following rpms.  We have had them in
 	/notsupported/RPMS .  So they are really just moving.
 	And since so many things moved out of /notsupported/RPMS we
 	decided to move everything that was in /notsupported/RPMS to
 	the main tree.

Yum  -- From Duke University 

  	yum-2.0.7-12.SL.noarch.rpm

  	  yum-2.0.7-12 fixes a issue with ftp on the Bluearc NAS server

 	  yum-2.0.7-8 allows for the updating of ia32e rpms.
                yum-2.0.7-9 fixed kernel-module hangups, as well as installs
                kernel-modules for multiple kernels

	  yum-2.0.7-7 allows for the kernel-module-<package> naming convention
 
  		yum 2.0.7 contains minor bug fixes along with the feauture
  		of yum [action] package.somearch support added for
  		erase/remove, install, update and upgrade

* 	yum-conf-309-1.SL.noarch.rpm
* 	yum-conf-3x-1-1.SL.noarch.rpm
  
* 	yum.cron now uses /etc/yum.conf for a template for it's configuration
* 	file.  If /etc/yum.conf has an excludes line, it will append the 
*	excludes in /etc/yum.d/yum.cron.excludes.  If /etc/yum.conf 
*	does not have an excludes line, it will add the one from 
*	/etc/yum.d/yum.cron.excludes

* 	yum-conf-3x was created for those users who want to be at the latest
* 	stable release.  It is always pointing at the 3x area.

  	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.

  	There is a fastbug repo area to correspond to the vendors fasttrack
  	This is not on by default.
  
  	bugfix-308 - reserved for packages from the next Update
  	This is not on by default
       
	Removed nonsupported since these were merged with main rpm's
		Changed main server to ftp.scientificlinux.org

	Made it easier for users to change where their repository is.
	For yum.cron you now only have to change the files
	/etc/yum.d/yum.cron.primary and/or yum.cron.secondary
	You can add multiple repository in either file, or leave either blank.
	The servers in primary will be used in the order they are in the
	file.  The servers in secondary will be used randomly.  So if you
	are concerned about overloading your one server, leave the primary
	blank, and list all your servers in secondary, where they will
	be used randomly
	Fixed the names on yum.conf as well.	
 	
	now uses new feature "tolerant=1" for yum.cron

 	OpenAFS was updated to version 1.2.13 to fix various bugs.
    	rpm spec file by Stephan Wiesand
    	x86_64 aklog fix - Enrico M.V. Fasanelli put in Chris Wing's patch

 	These are not installed by default.  
 
	  openafs-firstboot-1.2.11-5.SL.noarch.rpm

	The openafs-firstboot rpm enables "firstboot" to ask about
	what AFS cell you want and if you want afs started at boot. 


SL_afs_no_dynroot-1.0-1.noarch.rpm

        This package removes the -dynroot option from the openafs config
        Restarting of afs is needed for this to take effect.
        This rpm does not restart afs

SL_desktop_tweeks-1.1-1.x86_64.rpm
 
        This adds a terminal and mozilla icon to the kicker panel for
 	both KDE and GNOME.  Installed by default for both KDE and GNOME.
 
SL_enable_serialconsole

	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.
	Bug with the default serial number and dealing with a /boot
	partition were fixed in version 3.1.
  
 		SL_enable_serialconsole-3.1-3.noarch.rpm

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-1.0-5.x86_64.rpm

        Changes /etc/inittab to require the root password for
        single user mode.  Not installed by default.

SL_libg2c.a_change-3.2.3-2.noarch.rpm
 
  	Creates a missing symbolic link in the gcc-g77 package from
        /usr/lib/libg2c.a
        to /usr/lib/gcc-lib/$arch-redhat-linux/3.2.3/libg2c.a

SL_no_colorls-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm 
 
       Turns off "color" of ls.  Not installed by default.

SL_rpm_show_arch-1.0-1.noarch.rpm

       Adds arch to "rpm -qa" listing.

SL_sendmail_accept-1.0-2.x86_64.rpm
 
        Changes Sendmail config so that it allows incomming mail.
 	Not installed by default.


SL_startkde_afs-1.0-1.i386.rpm
  
  	SL_startkde_afs-1.0-1.i386.rpm
  
        By default startkde checks to make sure that a users home area has
        at least 25K of disk space.  A bug in the openafs kernel module for
        the enterprise kernel causes single cpu machines to only list 1 K of
        space.  This changes the check to only need 1 K of space.  The check
        to make sure kde can actually write to the users home area is still
        intact.

SL_startgnome_afs-1.1-1.noarch.rpm
 
        Enables gnome to work better in a afs envirnonment.
        It closes processes left open by gnome after the user has logged out
        since these processes will not be able to touch the users home
        directory anymore.
        It creates lock files in a local temporary directory.  This can
        allow multiple versions of gnome to run, but it prevents AFS corruption.

SL_thunderbird_url_handlers-1-1.noarch.rpm
 
 	Set the URL settings in seamonkey,thunderbird to point to firefox

SL_tweek_pagecache-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
        Modifies the /proc/sys/vm/pagecache settings.  This has been shown 
	Changes the values from "1 15 100" to "1 5 15"
        to make the kernel use less memory on desktop systems for buffer cache.
 	Not installed by default.

KERNEL
 
    Latest errata kernel .  

    Note the "unsupported" kernel rpms.  These contain modules that 
    are not in the "default kernel rpms".

RedHat EULA required changes

	RedHat requires that the following rpms be changed as part of
        their EULA (End User License Agreement)

	anaconda-images
	redhat-artwork
 	redhat-logos
	anaconda-help
	indexhtml

  	sl-release and redhat-lsb were changed to make S.L. lsb compliant
  
  	sl-release now includes the SL.releasenote
* 	sl-release now has the default bookmarks for seamonkey	
  
*   		sl-release-3.0.9-7.9.noarch.rpm
*		redhat-lsb-1.3-3.1.SL.309.i386.rpm  
*		redhat-lsb-1.3-3.1.SL.309.x86_64.rpm

Http/apache
* 
* 	Changed the default html web page to contain SL info vs TUV
* 
* 		httpd-2.0.46-68.sl3.x86_64.rpm
* 		httpd-devel-2.0.46-68.sl3.x86_64.rpm
* 		mod_ssl-2.0.46-68.sl3.x86_64.rpm

mozilla/seamonkey
 
	We added the i386 version because many plugins are not available
	for 64bit.

* 	The default bookmarks are now changed in sl-release, so we are 
* 	able to use the generic seamonkey rpm's.
 
Fixes to misc RPMS
	
	Added "Requires" of coreutils so that it will install during the install
	
		gstreamer-0.6.0-5f1.x86_64.rpm
       		gstreamer-tools-0.6.0-5f1.x86_64.rpm
	
 	Added "Requires" of tetex-afm so that it will be able to print after
 	install.  It was missing fonts provided in tetex-afm.
 	
 		a2ps-4.13b-28_SL.x86_64.rpm

firstboot-1.1.33-1SL.noarch.rpm
 
 	Removed the additional_cds.py module

findutils-4.1.7-9.2.SL.x86_64.rpm
 
 	Patch to allow building on systems with afs

Installer modifications
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anaconda (installer)


*  	 anaconda-9.1.6.20-4.SL.x86_64.rpm
*  	 anaconda-runtime-9.1.6.20-4.SL.x86_64.rpm
   	
*  	   Updated to Update 9 code

  	   Fixed genhdlist bug with no --ignorefile bug # 58
 	   Reverted back to my patch for rpm on cd ordering.
  
  	   Excluded the following RPMS from the "Everything" install
  
  	     GFS was excluded as it needs configuration to not complain
             ksh93 is excluded because it has some of the same files as pdksh
             up2date* is excluded as it causes firstboot to not work
               rhn-applet has a dependency on up2date
             *openafs* because it needs configuration and it has kernel modules
  
  	   Install kernel*-unsupported by default.  It does not conflict with
  	   other kernel rpms as it installs into into it's own directory
  	   Note that it just contains kernel-modules.
 
	   Fixed a bug that RedHat introduced in loader2/method.c which broke
	   specifying the install method on the command line.
	
	   Added code to support "site" customizations which include

		Custom installer kernel(needs nptl)
		Custom installer(anaconda) including graphics
		Added RPMS
	        ability to select packages to install by default via "comps.xml"
		Modified/replaced RPMS (ability to upgrade or downgrade version)

		see /sites

	  Made a "Packages added to SL" group so that you could select
  	  any of these added RPMS during the install
 
	anaconda-help-9.1-3.SL.noarch.rpm

	  Changed to reflect SL vs redhat.
     
        Included "generic" installer graphics 

	  RedHat requires us as part of their "EULA" that we replace
	  the images in "anaconda-images" with our own.

/contrib/ 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The packges in this section have been contributed by various people.  They
are presented AS IS and there is no guarantee of them working.  These packages
are NOT supported by us.  They will only get security updates if the
contributor provides them.  If you have questions about them then ask the
contributor.

There are some rules to follow to be able to contribute to this area.   These 
rules might adjust some.

1- Contract Troy Dawson <dawson@fnal.gov> with the rpm's that you wish to
contribute.  If Troy doesn't personally know you, be prepared with some some
way to show him that you can be trusted.  He is a nice guy but
he also is very concerned that this contrib section doesn't get abused.

2- The contributed rpm's must be able to go into a standard Scientific
Linux 3.0.1 release without any extra outside rpms.  If extra rpm's are
required, they must be supplied.  All extra rpm's supplied must meet the
same criteria as the main rpm's.

3- For each rpm, the source rpm (src.rpm)  must be provided.

4- For each source rpm, you must provide where you got it.

5- Both rpm's and srpm's must be digitally signed.

6- Rpms must be freely distributable.  

We understand this sounds like alot of work, but once you do it once, it
becomes much easier.

Upgrades from prior versions.
 
	UPDATES are NOT supported for all versions of SL . This is NOT
        something that we changed.  Future releases may support upgrading
	from SL 3.0.1 to future version of SL 3.0.x. 

  	UPDATES will NOT work from anything except RedHat AS 2.1.

HARDWARE SPECIFIC ISSUES
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ATI 9600/9700/9800 Video card

  The version of X included here does NOT support these video cards very
  well.  If you have one of these cards then you should do a text install
  and at the "X" screen select "vesa".  This should be enough to get
  installed.  You can either stay with the "vesa" driver or download and
  install the "X" driver from www.ati.com .  See
  http://www.ati.com/support/drivers/linux/radeon-linux.html
  See http://bugzilla.redhat.com bug id 111948

Nvidia Nforce(motherboard chipset) drivers
  IDE is supported.  NO SUPPORT for ethernet, audio, sata. See
  www.nvidia.com for drivers.  There may be "open" drivers for some
  of these devices.  Use google to find them.  These are NOT included
  here.  Because of this Nvidia based motherboard are NOT recommended.
  There are also issues with apic/acpi that can make the system unstable 
  or not boot.

Ethernet devices based on

 "Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Yakou Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000Base-T
  Adapter" do not work out of the box.  A driver is available from
  http://www.marvell.com

Intel 965 based motherboards
        Intel does not include a PATA(IDE) controller on the 965 chipset.
        Most motherboard vendors are including a PATA(IDE) controller but
        some are not compatible with the 308 kernel.  You can try the
        "all-generic-ide" kernel boot option.  It has worked with some
        pata controllers.

        Some motherboard vendors are using a non intel sata controller
        that is not compatible with the 308 kernel.

        Some motherboard vendors are using a non intel ethernet controller
        that is not compatible with the 308 kernel.

        So research this issue before buying a Intel 965 based
        motherboard.

SOFTWARE ISSUES/BUGS
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
sgi_fam with tcpwrappers(/etc/hosts.deny) 

  Error messages /var/log/secure such as

	Jan 22 12:33:33 systemname xinetd[25122]: FAIL: sgi_fam libwrap
	from=<no address>
	Jan 22 12:33:33 systemname xinetd[3819]: START: sgi_fam pid=25123
	from=<no address>Jan 22 12:33:33 systemname xinetd[25123]: FAIL:
	sgi_fam libwrap from=<no address>

  Only solution so far is to change /etc/hosts.allow to allow sgi_fam
  with 

	fam: ALL

  This could be a security risk so you must decide. 

redhat-config-packages

  This rpm only installs packages via cdrom.  It is not useful. 
  It does NOT work so do NOT try to use it.  Use yum instead.  
  It is useful.  It is only included here because rpms have dependencies 
  on it and I do not want to change those to remove the dependencies.

/usr/X11R6/lib

 The "final link" to each of the libraries is missing.

   Should be

        libX11.so.6.2 <- libX11.so.6 <- libX11.so

   But is

        libX11.so.6.2 <- libX11.so.6

   Solution is to install Xfree86-devel.  This rpm will make the
   missing links.
