similar to: OT rpmforge rpm is not putting Dag repo info in yum.conf

I have read the Wiki for the Yum stuff, and tried to pay attention to the variations for Centos 3/Centos 4 mentioned, but for the life of me, I can't seem to get the Dag repo working properly on my CentOS 3 system. I have installed the rpmforge rpm, but this doesn't seem to do much. It does create(I think it created it) the yum.repos.d folder, and I edited the Dag repos file to be

I'm running CentOS 3 and have just installed a Liteon lightscribe DVD/CD unit. I firstly realized I didn't know exactly how to mount it, as /dev/dvd didn't exist, I didn't want to generate anything if it already existed, and I didn't want to mess up my cdrom unit that works just fine. I mounted the device though the X window just to see how it might mount, and find that it

Dag in the thread about kvirc, I had pointed to dries repo, based on a list of repos I use *now*, that replaced your repo with rpmforge. This based on an instruction earlier that I should use rpmforge instead. So when I run my "yum --enablerepo=\* list...", it did not show your repo contents. Should I be including *both* rpmforge and dag? TIA Bill -------------- next part

I am trying to get the x86_64 isos of CentOS-5.2. I wish to use bittorrent. The last time that I did this I required the bittorent package from Dag's repository. I have configured /etc/yum.repos.d/DagWieers.repo thus: [dag] name=Dag Wieers RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux #Also see URL http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/

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. Is this a problem with the particular mirror? Also, how do i query a specific repo to find out what packages it contains? Thanks. Dave.

Sorry for the extra info required, but I had digest mode turned on and wouldn't have received the mailing till tomorrow. I have since updated the data manually, but after 'yum update tzdata' was run, the zdump -v for EST5EDT and America/New_York all still showed a date of April 1, instead of March 11. After manually fixing, it is correct. This was mostly a question about why yum

I tested moving a box from Tao 1.0 to CentOS 3.7. All went well, as far as I can tell, with the OS upgrades, but I needed to rpm -ivh --force the desktop-* stuff. This was a minor thing to fix for no real purpose other than to just be doing it. I still get, though, the Tao screens when the graphic login screen appears. I have changed the Application->Settings->Login Screen->

Mr. Parsley, the main man at the Tao Linux group, has announced that he will no longer be able to do his thing for Tao Linux. Just recently, I had decided to investigate CentOS 4 before his announcement, and liked a lot of what I saw. Due to the Tao announcement, I have decided that CentOS will "have" to be the OS for my company in the future. Hence, my new membership to this list.

I am looking to create an internal yum repository on my LAN in order to save on having to constantly go to the internet to download new packages. Where might I look (or what might I search for) to get going in the right direction? (I googled, but I cannot seem to find a good answer. I'm guessing that I'll just need to sync the main RHEL repo, as well as the RPMForge one?) --------------

Hi All: It appears that the RPMforge.net site is down. Can someone confirm and possibly advise when it might be expected back? TIA Regards, Hugh -- Hugh E Cruickshank, Forward Software, www.forward-software.com

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.

Hello. With the help of the community I finished polishing the translation of my PHP script to Bash version http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id=20222&forum=38 It has now autodetection of architecture and CentOS version and handles errors. I have published an article under my homepage here: http://wiki.centos.org/VladislavRastrusny/AutoRPMForgeRepo

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

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.

Hi gang! I'm trying to update my videolan client (0.8.4a-4.el4.rf) to the latest 0.8.6 version. I see that Dag has a 0.8.6 for EL4 (I'm running Centos 4.4) but when I do "yum update videolan-client" it says there's nothing to update. When I remove the videolan client than do "yum install videolan-client" it insists on trying to install the 0.8.4 version:

hello somebody might help to create a script to download the repo DAG of CentOS 5.5 to my PC. I already did with OS, Update, and Extras packages. I want to do with DAG repository. I tried but I don't know much about scripts. Thanks Fidel

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
