similar to: Suggested yum priorities settings for 3rd party repos

Some people don't know how to conduct themselves on usenet and mailing lists. Despite the mailing list guidelines being crystal clear about no html posting and not top-posting we have people still doing so. People still use text-readers to access the mailing list so you could be denying access to these people by flouting the mailing list guidelines. This is an example of top-posting

Guys, what is the best way of arranging the repos with regards to their priority? Any ideas, especially for all non base ones? /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo - priority = 1, 2 /etc/yum.repos.d/atrpms.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/kbs-extras.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/kbs-misc.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmforge.repo How would we position dags repo?

I have a choice of CentOS 4/5 and Fedora 9 on a laptop. I have not use CentOS 5 on a desktop but have used CentOS 4 and Fedora 9. I found the Fedora Gnome not as appealing as the CentOS 4 clearlooks. Any opinions from someone who has used CentOS 4/5 and Fedora? I'm not a KDE fan so KDE users need not reply. Regards, Vandaman.

Is there a utility such as rpmfind that exists for enterprise rpms? One could locate rpms from various repos e.g. - Centos base, extras, plus - EPEL - RPMForge - KBS repos Due to the requirement of a subscription, upstream or others like Oracle Unbreakable linux couldn't be listed. Regards, Vandaman.

Has anyone built an rpm for xboard for CentOS 4? I looked in the EPEL repo, KBS repo and rpmforge but none exist. The KBS repo has gnuchess in testing but what good is gnuchess without xboard? As usual the fedora SRPM for Fedora 6 and Fedora 9 cannot build on CentOS 4- they might build on CentOS 6 but i have no time machine :). -------------- next part -------------- An HTML

I've just installed CentOS 5.2 for the x86_64 on a SuperMicro X6DA8-G board with two 250g SATA drives configured in the bios as a raid 1 array. After getting the base installed, I've tried to yum update the system and I wind up with these errors.... --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: libmysqlclient.so.14(libmysqlclient_14)(64bit) is needed by package

Is there any differences between the repos used by Centos 5.8 and those used by Centos 6.x please - ie does C6 use the same 3rd party repos as C5 does? Is there a Centos wiki article for C6 repos?

I just tried to install the flac plugin for xmms, and failed. Google does not help. How to fix this?

A quick question on the fasttrack repo which is now up to date with upstream. Why is the fasttrack repo not in the main CentOS-Base.repo file but contrib which has never had anything is included in the main CentOS-Base.repo file? The goal of CentOS is to be binary-compatible with upstream so fasttrack is "more important" in this regard than contrib. Upsteam ships with the main channels

I may need a strong shot of coffee but I though putting "hide files = /~*/" as follows in the samba config file would hide files with a tilde. [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes hide files = /~*/ Unfortunately after restarting the server the files are still visible. Regards, Vandaman.

There are security updates upstream for CentOS (4 and 5) and it looks like the CentOS 5 ones have been rebuilt and rolled out. How come the CentOS 4 branch lags behind, or are the CentOS 5 devs different from the CentOS 4 devs? If more volunteers are needed I'm sure assistance could be offered by the CentOS community. Regards, Vandaman.

Unless I'm mistaken, does it look like Centos 4.7 is missing an update released on December 3rd 2008? Upstream details :- http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2008-0989.html An updated tmpwatch package that fixes various bugs is now available. The tmpwatch utility recursively searches through specified directories and removes files which have not been accessed in a specified period of time.

Hi I have 2 machines with RHEL 5.2 and I would like to use CentOS repos. I would like to know if the document "Using CentOS Repositories on RHEL Machines"[1] can be used in CentOS 5.2 without too much modifications. Thanks Marcelo [1] http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/PackageManagement/YumOnRHEL

Hi folks, Anyone know the whereabouts of libgtkembedmoz.so()(64bit) as it is needed by miro-1.0-1.el5.rf.x86_64 (rpmforge) I tried a whatprovides and have looked at epel as well as rpmforge - no luck. While I'm asking, I'm looking for an internet HD TV viewer - miro looked interesting - any other products you know of? TIA Rob -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment
