Questions about a ROCK-based Distribution
Q: Where can I ask questions about a specific ROCK Linux based Distribution?
A: See if the distribution author created a page at the Distribution Portal. There should be an FAQ/Help section there.
MD5 checksums for ISO files
Q: Can you please publish the MD5 checksums for the iso files?
A: These are always published with the iso files on https://iso.rocklinux.de/
Changing the Packages included in a build
Q: How can I easily change the packages to be included in my build? For example: I want Anjuta and all packages it depends on.
A: Answered in Changing The Package Selection.
Adding Applications not included in ROCK
Q: How can I add another application which is not included in ROCK?
A: Answered in Creating Packages.
All you ever wanted to know about dependencies
Q: Tell the dependencies of a package, what other packages are needed to build a binary package from the source or what other package are needed to use the installed package? I wonder, why for example the package linux is depending on perl5.
A: The Linux kernel uses perl in its build system, so to build it from sources you need perl in your system. Currently the dependencies listed are the buildtime dependencies. Runtime dependencies are planned for the next major release (after 3.0.0). To find out what packages a package depends on, try ./scripts/Create-DepList
Packages are broken for a specific optimisation - what to do?
Q: Why not add a NOOPT flag for packages that are broken with optimisation?
A: Because that's just working around brokenness in the compiler. The misbehaviour should be put into a reproducable testcase and sent to the gcc bug tracking system. See Broken Compiler Optimizations.
just add your questions to the end of the list above and keep this section as it is.
