similar to: retrieving specific packages from a repo

Hello, I've got rpmforge and epel on centos 5.3. I'm trying to do an install of perl-Image-Info for spamassassin image scanning. The package was picked up in rpmforge since first, but it is failing to install because a dependency is missing. I added perl-Image-Info to rpmforge's excludepkgs line and tried to install the package again this time thinking it would pull from epel. This

Hi All, I just discovered that the remi repo has updated versions of firefox. This is good news, but it leads me to a question. Is it possible to exclude all packages except one or two in a repo file? The man page for yum.conf didn't give me any hints. I tried unsuccessfully adding this line: exclude=!firefox*,!xulrunner* Is there a way to set up this repo so that when I run "yum

Hello fellow CentOS users, until now I was using CentOS 5.5 with php 5.3 through this file: # grep -v ^# /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Testing.repo [c5-testing] name=CentOS-5 Testing baseurl=http://dev.centos.org/centos/$releasever/testing/$basearch/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://dev.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-testing includepkgs=php* Today I have updated to CentOS 5.6 by running

Hello, First of all thanks to the poster on the wiki for centosplus. I've configed it added include and exclude lines, do i need the centos-priority plugin? I want to enable centosplus to use the centosplus kernel and the centosplus webstack. Below are my base, updates, and centosplus repo definitions. I'm getting an error when i do a yum update that a dependency for postfix

Hi, Small correction there. Example 4 of section 2 (how to use XFS with CentOSPlus kernel) says you should use this configuration line in [centosplus] section of yum: includepkgs=kernel* xfs* dmapi* However, the XFS module's package name is kmod-xfs*, so I believe it should actually be: includepkgs=kernel* kmod-xfs* xfs* dmapi* I did this on a system of mine, and in the first case it did

CentOS is simply great. I use it as my main desktop. I use VMWare clients for any "special needs" software. I am struggling a bit with the plethora of repos and looking for some advice. Would you opine with detail on the best repo setup for a desktop CentOS 5? Comments: rpmforge provides fine rpms. kbsingh, google, adobe, kde-redhat, CentOS-Testing , CentOS-fastrack, epel,

Hello, I'm wanting to create a yum repo for what is at this point rpm development for personal use, i might eventually open it up but right now i have some rpms i need to debug. I've installed createrepo but the docs i've read indicate that i have to install the base distros rpms, in repos i've seen via a webview they only had packages that they built in the repo. Thanks. Dave.

Hi. I'm fairly new with CentOS but have been using version 4.2 with great satisfaction (Thank you!). I've been using repos such as Dag and Dries successfully to keep my packages up to date. (I've seen many posts which allow me to believe that these repos won't change CentOS compatibility to RHEL4 or to migrate it another distro for that matter!) My question applies to the

Yup, that did the trick. Thanks!

Hello, Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but the ssl certificate of the repo.dovecot.org server expired on the 9th of January. It's giving an error via the browser and via the apt command in Debian: W: Failed to fetch https://repo.dovecot.org/ce-2.3-latest/debian/jessie/dists/jessie/main/binary-amd64/Packages? server certificate verification failed.

Hello, I'd like to get in to rpm building and am looking for a CentOS specific document if any to get me going? I want to repackage an existing rpm and give it different runtime options so it'll work on a server, and make an rpm at least one probably more, and then submit them to the rpmforge repo. Googling showed me some old Suse docs on this subject. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Is there an chance how to include an package from "checking" of repository? I can do exclude, but especialy from so big repositories as DAG I want include just a that few which are interesting for me. Is there any way how to do it?

Hello, I recently noticed that Thunderbird updates are missing from CentOS 5. First, I noticed that Thunderbird 2.0.0.19 is available in the "updates" repo of CentOS 5.2, but not on the "updates" repo of CentOS 5.3. The version in the "os" repo of CentOS 5.3 is 2.0.0.18. - Thunderbird 2.0.0.19 in CentOS 5.2 updates repo:

Hello. I would like to know how other repositories than the official ones for CentOS 4 affect an update of a package if a package is present in both repositories. Will yum install the package that it finds having the highest version number ? and if so, is there a mean to tell yum that we would like to keep the preference to one repository instead of the highest version number on a possibly

I have run a local repo for Centos updates for some time. I suppose, at this point I could just delete the 5.3 update directory and rsync the 5.4 directory... But how large is the 5.4 update directory? Oh, just for i386, without /debug and is there anything else I should not include? For example for my FC11 update repo I also exclude drpms.

Hello, Does anyone have a repo or have a dovecot 1.2 and dovecot sieve rpm, also a postfix 2.5 or 2.6 rpm? I saw some on a repo called atrpms, but it has dependency issues, and I read that that repo is dangerous. Thanks. Dave.

Hello, I have a perplexing permissions problem that i thought i had, but it's resurfaced. I'm running CentOS 5.3 and it runs an apache web server. The permissions on the web data directory in this case /var/www/secure/data are set to 4775 owner of apache group of webdev. All users that should be allowed to place content are in the webdev group. I was under the impression that any file

I've been trying out the protectbase plugin for yum, and haven't yet determined the best way to selectively update a package. E.g. I'd like to mark the base repo as protected, but get the latest firefox from the centosplus repo. What's the correct incantation for this?

Hello, I'm doing an unattended CentOS 5.3 install in a virtual machine vmware. I'm redirecting output to a serial console because production boxes won't have monitors. I'm getting to the point of doing the post installation then the box freezes. The only command i have in %post is yum -y update. I'm not getting no output. Suggestions appreciated.
