similar to: yum install <olderversion> does not downgrade

Personally, I would do one of three things: 1. Use the -m command to run 'yum install <version>' which /might/ work. 2. Uninstall the newer package and install the version you want. (Check the 'state' directive to do this.) 3. Pin that package version when creating the server/VM so as not to be updated. #3 is useful to us as we kickstart all our servers and VMs, and

Use the 'downgrade' option. https://access.redhat.com/solutions/29617 On Thu, Jun 1, 2017 at 1:46 PM, Anand Buddhdev <anandb at ripe.net> wrote: > We're using ansible to configure our CentOS 6 servers, and we have a > task to install a specific version of a package: > > - name: install thrift2 > yum: name=ripencc-thrift2-{{ version }} > > In this ansible

Dear openssh developers and users, I'm new to the list, and my apologies if this question has been asked before. I've tried to look for answers and haven't succeeded, which is why I'm asking. Here's the situation: I'm connect to a dual-stacked host with A and AAAA records. The IPv6 connectivity to the host is broken. When connecting to the host directly from my client

Hi folks, I've got a Dell R320 running CentOS 7, and a 10G NIC. I'm running a DNS server on it, for testing. As part of my testing, I'm attempting to capture all the DNS queries arriving on the server, using tcpdump. However, tcpdump's performance is abysmal, and it loses lots of the packets. Here's the output when I stop the capture: # tcpdump -nn -i p1p1 -w

Hi Scott, You've entirely missed my point. Yes, if I connect directly to a host, I can use '-4' to force IPv4. When connecting through a proxy, I can't easily control which address family to use, nor the TCP connect timeout. Sure, if I use netcat to proxy, I could supply a '-4' to it to force connecting over IPv4. But making that permanent is also a pain because I want

I am aware of this option, but it would be only a last resort, because checking the format of the config file is error-prone. I would prefer RPM to tell me the old and new version numbers,

Hi there, I have a question about the "server-count" option. nsd.conf(5) simply states that it tells NSD to "start this many NSD servers", with no further commentary. Is there a situation where this value would ever be anything other than 1? Should it equal the number of available CPU cores? Cheers, -- Gavin Brown Chief Technology Officer CentralNic Ltd Innovative,

Dear CentOS hive mind, I'm trying to package up a perl module into an RPM for easy deployment. I want it to be as self-contained as possible (to avoid version issues with perl modules in base or EPEL). So in my spec file, I'm doing: curl -L http://cpanmin.us | perl - App::cpanminus -L %{buildroot}/opt/zonemaster Zonemaster This way, cpanminus is installed first, and then it goes on to

I'm using the standard Dovecot 0.99.14 on Fedora Core 4, with a Maildir++ mailbox. I've noticed what I think is an oddity in the way dovecot handles messages: According to the Maildir specification, a message in Maildir/new is a truly new message, which has not yet been touched by any reader. From an IMAP viewpoint, such a message should have the flag RECENT. However, if a message exists

Hi CentOS folk, In an RPM post-install script, is it possible to know the previous version number, and the new version number of a package if it's an update? I need to know this, because for a certain package, if updating from version 1.x to 2.x, I need to run a program to convert the config file of the package from version 1.x format to version 2.x format. I've looked at SPEC file

Hi, I'm looking for a good way to create a constant data stream that will occupy a bandwidth of about 2--5Mbit/sec between two remote hosts over the internet. I have full access to the hosts involved. My first attempt to use scp to copy data from /dev/null on host A to /dev/null on host B, but scp says '/dev/null: not a regular file'. If something like that would work, I would
