similar to: centOS vs "the upstream vendor"

What is the best way to get the RPM described in the following URL installed on CentOS 5.2: http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2008-0586.html I have users who can't run cron jobs because their home directories are NFS mounted, and I believe installing this RPM would fix the problem. I remember reading that the CentOS developers are working on supporting the RHEL FasTrack

Dear all, will there be a fastrack channel for C5? What are the problems inventing one? Thx Rainer

The upstream provider has started a new channel called fastrack. It is detailed here (see the whole thread): https://www.redhat.com/archives/nahant-list/2006-April/msg00001.html CentOS will also build the fastrack SRPMS. We have created separate repositories in CentOS-3 and CentOS-4 called fasttrack. (I know the spelling is different, that is by design. We don't want to use the name of

Does anyone know what are all the centos 6 reppos? I have: CentOS-Base.repo CentOS-Debuginfo.repo CentOS-fasttrack.repo CentOS-Media.repo CentOS-Vault.repo devtools.repo epel.repo epel-testing.repo rpmfusion-free-updates.repo rpmfusion-free-updates-testing.repo rpmfusion-nonfree-updates.repo rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing.repo Am I missing a repo I am not aware of?

Note, first of all I haven't actually updated, I'm just running "yum update" to see what conflicts, if any, I get so I can be prepared when the final 7.7 release happens. I've traditionally used the nvidia packages from elrepo, but recently enabled rpmfusion (back when I started using 7.x, I disabled rpmfusion because it took them a looooong time to get a EL7 repository up).

Hi, the C5 updates to openoffice.org-2.0.4-5.4.26 are available on the mirrors, but no announcement has come through the centos-announce mailing list yet. Also, upstream has released gnome-screensaver-2.16.1-5.el5_1.1 and gnome-screensaver-2.16.1-8.el5 (FasTrack channel) beginning of April. Neither is available yet for C5. Best regards, Bernd.

Hi ,all : Today I run the "yum update" command on my laptop, which is CentOS 5.4 i386. Then the screen displays the following message : root at kuku ~ > yum update Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * addons: mirror.centos.net.cn * base: mirror.centos.net.cn * epel: mirrors.sohu.com * extras: mirror.centos.net.cn * rpmforge:

Hi listees! Just installed C6 (more or less) permanently on my eeepc. I've enabled rpmfusion non-free, rpmfusion free, elrepo, and epel, prior to this point I've been running fedora on it (f10 thru f14) and have always found VLC at rpmfusion. (but finally RHEL/Centos have become modern enough to support the eeepc's funky hardware, so I'm switching back--tired of the version

Anyone know what repository alien's in?

Hi All, I am switching from Fedora20 to CentOS7 since I now run all my Linux development in a VM and I get a more robust feature set (i.e. shared folders with the host that "just work", etc) The only issue I have thus far is VPN connections. Looking at what's installed on my old Fedora install I suspect I need these packages: kde-plasma-nm-vpnc kde-plasma-nm-openvpn

Hi Y'All, Yum update on CentOS 5 has for the last week or so started giving me the following errors root at neodymium 16:03:46 ~ # nice yum upgrade Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * addons: mirror.sov.uk.goscomb.net * base: mirror.sov.uk.goscomb.net * epel: mirror01.th.ifl.net * extras: mirror.sov.uk.goscomb.net * rpmfusion-free-updates:

This is annoying. I've been trying to get motion working correctly on CentOS 6. First, there was no ffmpeg rpms. Now, I try to install it, and it's found on rpmfusion... except that it will not install. It insists that libfaad.so.0 is required, and tells me faad2-libs-2.6.1-5 from el5 is available. (I've done some stuff with my repos to try to get what I need for motion.) I installed

Unless I've missed something (which is possible) there hasn't been any "public progress announcements" regarding rpmfusion in the past several weeks. Is there anything new to report? My ulterior motive is that I would love to have the convenience of a one-stop rpm shop for Centos/RHEL and Fedora, and it's my understanding that's what rpmfusion is intended to be... --

I installed Centos on some machines that need long term support. I'm running up against some simple user convenience issues. How to play MP3? I've been really puzzled today that the addon rpm sites like livna, rpmforge, rpmfusion, epel, don't seem to have something like amarok-mp3 or xine-lib-mp3. What am I missing? It can be done in Ubuntu, Debian, and Fedora Linux. In the

These seems to me to be the first message in the series and provides a really good summary of the changes at Red Hat which seem to be making life a lot more difficult for CentOS. Just figured I'd pull it out of that thread and change the subject line. Below Johnny's email I've copied another from the original thread, written by Lamar Owen, which gives some good explanation on how Red

I've installed 6.4 on an old T30 ThinkPad, and I'm in the midst of setting it up. I can't seem to get an rpm of Pan for it, nor even to do yum update. Mousing around fedoraproject eventually got me to http:// rpmfusion.org/Configuration/ and from there to downloads for the free, nonfree, and epel packages (along with a caveat that tells you -- *after* you've gotten rpmfusion
