Latest SLES10/ESX-3.5 RPMS
Jan 4th
Disclaimer: I don’t take any responsibility for faults within the software, I just provide the RPM’s! Feel free to ask me about stuff concerning these RPM’s, but I ain’t accountable if your stuff goes kaboom …
Well, even though Jan said that I don’t need to be doing this, at least some RPMS I need to build myself, since
- The openSUSE build service isn’t always as fast as you’d wish
- some of my RPMS contain fixes/patches from other sources
So, here we go (again):
VMware ESX 3.5 (binary compatible to CentOS 3.9/RHEL 3.9):
- htop-0.8.1-1.0 (i386, SRPM)
- nagios-plugins-1.4.13-1.0 (i386, SRPM)
- nagios-plugins-setuid-1.4.13-1.0 (i386)
- perl-Config-Tiny-2.12-1.0 (noarch, SRPM)
- perl-Math-Calc-Units-1.06-1.0 (noarch, SRPM)
- perl-Nagios-Plugin-0.31-1.0 (noarch, SRPM)
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10:
- dstat-0.6.8-1.0 (SRPM)
- iotop-0.2.1-1.0 (noarch, SRPM)
- nagios-plugins-check_diskio-2.2.0-1 (noarch, SRPM)
- nagios-plugins-check_lm_sensors-3.1.0-1.0 (noarch, SRPM)
- nagios-plugins-check_nagios_latency-0.9.3-1.0 (noarch, SRPM)
- perl-Config-Tiny-2.12-1.0 (noarch, SRPM)
- perl-Math-Calc-Units-1.06-1.0 (noarch, SRPM)
- perl-Nagios-Plugin-0.31-1.0 (noarch, SRPM)
If you are looking for older versions, try the respective directory on distributions.barfoo.org (for example i386 for ESX 3.5 or x86_64 for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10).
If you encounter a missing link (either striked or just missing), please note that older builds aren’t available anymore.
Fixing vmkernel symlinks
Jul 30th
Since I do happen to be in the situation pretty often where the kernel inside a VM is newer than what VMware currently has in their tools (as in the SUSE kernel is newer than the binary modules built by VMware), here’s a quick reminder for myself on how to to fix the .ko symlinks.
1 2 3 4 5 | for file in /lib/modules/$( uname -r )/misc/*.ko ; \ do rm $file && \ ln -s /lib/modules/$( uname -r )/misc/${file/.ko/.o} $file \ done |
