similar to: building internal yum / rpmforge repo

I should change this to OT, as it's not really CentOS related. I had a post on the list last week asking how the rpmforge rpm was to be implemented in yum. Craig White was kind enough to list how his yum.conf is appended, I assume after he installed the rpm. Unfortunately, mine is not appended with these lines. I am running CentOS 3. I will add these lines manually, and probably remove

On CentOS 4.5, I'm trying to upgrade MySQL 4 to MySQL 5.

I'm inheriting dozens of CentOS servers and am looking for various tools to help me wrangle the rpm / yum / repo madness. Any tools you might suggest for me to look into would be greatly appreciated!

Hello, Tried yum update all yesterday and today and seems there is a perl dependency missing. Does anyone know if it is a problem or just a sync thing and that I should be more patient. Error is below: --> Processing Dependency: perl(Compress::Raw::Zlib) >= 2.020 for package: perl-IO-Compress --> Finished Dependency Resolution perl-IO-Compress-2.020-1.el5.rf.noarch from rpmforge has

I'm installing Fruity for Nagios using the 4.4 Single Server CD and want to force upgrade PHP 4 to PHP 5 without having to upgrade everything on CentOSplus. In order to install Nagios, I have to first enable RPMforge. However, to use Fruity, I have to use PHP 5, which isn't included in the RPMforge repository, unless I enable CentOSplus and yum update/upgrade everything (which I did

Hi all, since I'm installing several copies of CentOS I was thinking of using some system to save bandwidth. I started looking at mrepo, but I noticed that, if I let him sync with updates and rpmforge repos, I'll end with a _lot_ of unneeded files. Also I have to modify the various yum repos configuration files for it to work. What I would like to achieve is just download the same

Hi, I am using the yum priorities plugin and, for some reason, it is blocking all rpmforge updates, even for already installed rpmforge packages... I have priority=1 for CentOS repos. Is it the 'normal' behavior or is something wrong in my conf? Thx, JD

How come rpmforge.repo wants to install a whole slew of perl modules, yet if I leave rpmforge.repo out of the update process, none of the perl modules shows up?

rpmforge has just released a new perl-DBD-mysql for el4 that has an obsoletes against perl-DBD-MySQL and the protectbase yum plugin doesn't grok obsoletes. the priorities plugin does. so if you are having issues with this, install the yum-plugin-priorities first, make sure that the CentOS-Base repo is priority 1 and the rpmforge repo is priority 2 or higher (99 is the default). also,

Hi, I just downloaded and installed the rpmforge-release rpm file for centos5. Ftp isn't working here, so it went http, but the http mirrors are giving me error 11, connections refused.

Hi all, Sorry for the bad subject. I'd like to do two things. - Know when a RPM which is currently in only one repository pops up in a different repository. E.g. RPM going from epel-testing to epel. - Get notified when a RPM pops up in a repository. E.g. waiting for an RPM to appear. I know that this is quite easy to find out manually. But did anyone build a script or something else to do

I have built my repo by copying the content of the ISO images, maintaining the date. When I test with: rsync -avun rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/centos/5.1/os/i386/ \ --exclude=debug/ /repos/centos/5.1/os/i386 the only file listed is: CentOS/yum-kernel-module-1.0.4-3.el5.centos.2.noarch.rpm Which I did not get from the ISOs. but if I leave off the -u option, the list is VERY long. Why? Also
