similar to: yum version of Debian's sources.list?

I am using Cent oS 4 and I would like to setup the YUM repositories. Can anybody help me setup YUM? THat would be to install software, add repositories, and such necessary stuff. I know how to use apt-get, but not on Cent OS ( I will use either YUM or APT, at a time, but learn both of them, sooner or later.) Thank you. -- "No-one dies a virgin. Life screws everyone."

Following advice on how to ensure that PHP and MySQL are on my machine and working correctly, I ran the following YUM command, with the subsequent error: [root at localhost ~]# yum install php php-mysql httpd mysqlclient10 mysql- server Setting up Install Process Setting up Repos http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el4/en/i386/dag/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (113, 'No route

I haven't configured YUM . How do I do it? Sorry if this is a really stupid question, but I have no idea about it. Moreover, I would also like to use APT afterwards. I really want to try both of these. I have used apt-get before many a times, but never used YUM. Can anybody post the procedure to get this working? Which repositories to be added, how it is to be configured? And yes, how do i

On CentOS, I am trying to "yum install nagios" (after adding the rpmforge repository), but every time I run it, I get this message, and am not sure quite what to do.

I installed CentOS 6.4 on a partition on my computer a few days ago, and i'm trying to equip it with the software i think i need. For example, i need, or i think i need, a couple of gnustep programs for uploading images from my digital camera (the programs being openapp and Camera.app). I imagine that these are old enough that they must surely exist in rpms somewhere. But i apparently

I recently moved away from apt, becuase I could not make it work with multiple x86_64, because there are many duplicate packages from both rchitectures that get installed, and I could not make apt-get work. Someone suggested that I try yum, which does work, but I am having a heck of a time managing multiple repositories. It was easy with apt, being able to pin priorities to repositories and

I'm looking for the Red Hat equivalent of this Debian statement "apt-get ?y install postfix mailscanner spamassassin bind9 clamav ssh webmin webmin-core logwatch libspf2-0 libmail-spf-query-perl" "yum search" can't find some of the packages. Is there some sort of online DB or something that I can search through to see which repository I need to enable for some of

CentOS3.9 Users: After applying all Updates to Upgrade from CentOS 3.8 CentOS 3.9 I find up2date no longer works "correctly" (or shall I say NOT as before)... Missing is the "sources" File!!! Is this how V 4.5.5-7 is supposed to be or is the "sources" File omission an "error"??? Lawrence Houston -- (centos at greenfield.dyndns.org)

"The upstream maintainer of yum, Seth Vidal, had the following to say about 'yum priorities' in September 2009: Gosh, I hope people do not set up yum priorities. There are so many things about priorities that make me cringe all over. It could just be that it reminds me of apt 'pinning' and that makes me want to hurl." This note was placed on the wiki

I was checking out Dag's ( not dagw ;-> ) new blog... I don't know how much, if at all, this has been debated... http://dag.wieers.com/blog/using-apt-in-an-rpm-world if he is so adamant about apt over yum, why are we using yum still? Laziness? ;-) ...or are we just tasty food centric? Yum yum yum !!! - rh

Hello, Have pretty much figured out I can't use plugins since upgrading. If I use yum update --noplugins to get the updates for 5.0, I get: Warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: Header V# DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID e8562897 Public key for samba-common-3.0.23c-2.el5.2.0.2.i386.rpm is not installed I looked back through the archives and think I may need a rpmforge-release key but have not been able

Hi: I have a mirror of dag repository (http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el4/en/i386/dag/) in my intranet which is used by other servers to install/update rpms. I installed on every remote server the rpmforge rpm, edit the /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmforge.repo to fit with my intranet mirror, but when I run yum, I get this error: #yum -c rpmforge.repo search nagios Warning, could not load sqlite, falling back to

Hi Folks, I'm running Debian-4.0 Etch, installed last September from a DVD, and regularly updated as things arise. I have R version 2.4.0 Patched (2006-11-25 r39997) installed (initially at the time of first installation of Debian, as provided by Debian), along with a variety of packages. I'd like to be able to connect to the CRAN repositories for Debian R, for updates etc. When I visit

Hello, I've got a centos5 box that is now behind a what was transparent squid proxy. The proxy now has it's own dedicated ip and uses proxy basic authentication. I've got a firewall that redirects all outgoing port 80 traffic to that ip so anyone wishing access goes proxied. The problem is yum on my centos5 can't retrieve the .xml files for the various yum repositories. In

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

I have seen messages posted on the Fedora oriented forums that imply that "yum" is antiquated. Not being a Linux guru, I do not have the experience to make a thorough evaluation, but so far it has been just great. Todd -- Ariste Software 200 D Street Ext Petaluma, CA 94952 (707) 773-4523

Trying yum update for the latest announcements. Part of the problem I experienced last week appears again: lame library DSA key is unavailable. I had tried to resolve this last week, to no avail. Tried again this week and found a French site with the key ID, but for libmad. Anyone can give me the proper instructions so this works? TIA Bill Here is a snipped part of the yum log.

Dear Centos community, I am new to centos/redhat and I would like to know on a centos system, can I use yum alone to do all package management? I don't want to learn two systems and confuse myself, I understand yum is much better than rpm if is the case? Thank you! Jim
