They add stuff that *their* user community needs to work in *their*
structured environment. The gory details are attached.

915resolution-0.5.3-6.el5.i386.rpm
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.

*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.
* Updated to latest fuse-smb and fuse-sshfs

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.

MISC
Added these rpms because they are important but upstream vendor did
not include them.
gv-3.6.2-2.sl5.i386.rpm from Stephan Wiesand
* Pine has been replaced by alpine
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changed RPMS compared to vendor
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installer(anaconda)
* anaconda-11.1.2.113-3.SL.i386.rpm
* anaconda-runtime-11.1.2.113-3.SL.i386.rpm
*
* Added kernel-module.py yum plugin during the install
Modified pkgorder with patches from CentOS
Modified installclasses/rhel.py to remove key request
Modified installclasses/rhel.py to include SL groups
sites support
see sites/example
Note: Installing sites on a virtual machine
When installing a paravirtulized site, you have to point at the
site directory, such as 5rolling/i386/sites/example
When installing a fully virtulized site, you only have to point
to the base directory, like you usually would, such as
5rolling/x86_64/sites/example
*comps.xml
*
* Updated some group names and descriptions to work better internationally
*
* In Update 1 The Upstream Vendor changed their comps.xml files to
* reflect a different sorting structure, as well as clean up extra
* files from their short term linux release.
*
* In Update 2 The Upstream Vendor added more packages to their comps.xml
* comps-sl.xml has been changed to incorporate most of
* TUV 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.i386.rpm
redhat-logos-4.9.16-1.SL.6.noarch.rpm
* sl-release-5.2-1.i386.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.i386.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.i386.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)
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=adobe 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

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-devel-0.4.1-1.fc6.1.i386.rpm
brltty-3.7.2-1.fc6.1.i386.rpm
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
/SL/
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Upstream Vendor's release consists of 2 cd sets, Server and Client. Each
cd set has a group of directories which contain the actual rpms. On the Client
cd this consists of Client,Workstation and VT. On the Server cd this consists
of Server,VT,Cluster, ClusterStorage. The VT directory contains the same rpms
on each cd. The Cluster, ClusterStorage and Workstation directories do not
have any common rpms. The Client and Server directories contain many common
rpms along with many unique rpms.
Scientific Linux has combined all of the rpm's from Client, Server, VT, Cluster,
ClusterStorage, and Workstation into the SL directory.
You are not asked to enter any key, since you have access to all packages.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
/contrib/
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RPMS provided by colaboraters that either cannot go in main release or are
intesting before going into main release.
See the SRPMS section for source rpms
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

bugfix51
Reserved for packages from the next Update.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
/../SRPMS/
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
/SL/
Contains the SRPMS for what we added or changed. Put these in the
top level directory as these are really the ones we changed. All
the others can be obtained from the upstream vendor ftp updates area
/vendor/
The upstream vendors SRPMS.
This directory contains both the original released SRPMS, as well as
the updated SRPMS
/contrib/
SRPMS for the contrib packages
/sites/<site>/SRPMS
SRPMS for sites, if there is a site
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
/../archive/
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

LIMITATIONS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
ipw2100, ipw2200, ipw3945
Does not work in the installer
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. This will be fixed before the final release.
NVIDIA motherboard chipsets
May need to use
linux noapic
to install.
Intel 965 motherboard chipset
May need to use
linux all-generic-ide
if you have pata hardware
