CentOS - Jul 2008 - how to install BackupPC on CentOS 5.2 -- use Testing repository

Hi.  I just installed CentOS for the first time, to make a BackupPC server.

However, when I try to install BackupPC using yum, I get the error:

      No package backuppc available.

I searched the Testing, Extras and CentOS Plus repositories, and found
a BackupPC package only in Testing, at

http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/testing/x86_64/RPMS/backuppc-3.1.0-1.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm
 which I downloaded directly.

Just posting this in case somebody else has a similar issue.


Best,
Aleksey

Do you have any sort of protect base installed?

Priorities, etc?

I could just yum it in when i did it.
