Re: packages for RHEL/CentOS
I add dag's repo's for my RHEL and CentOS servers as well. Redhat is just too conservative for much of what I need to do.

I implement it on all my servers and I only have to watch out for MailScanner installed perl rpm's because Dag will want to update them (which presents problems with updating things because of the quirky nature of MailScanner). But some things like subversion, RH/CentOS has something like 1.4.x and dag has 1.6.6... # rpm -q subversion subversion-1.6.6-0.1.el5.rf really, really helpful Craig -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
packages for RHEL/CentOS
moin moin, are RHEL and CentOS really dependent on dag's repo? It seems that the packages I want ( clusterssh and molly-guard in this instance ) are not available via the normal repos. I even enabled the extra CentOS repos ( centosplus and contrib ). It seems that every time I hear about a packaging issue for RHEL and CentOS the answer I get is to enable dag and do an update. It seems strange to have to enable an external repo. ciao, der.hans -- # http://www.LuftHans.com/http://www.ABLEconf.com/ # Director of Engineering, FonWallet Transaction Solutions, Inc. # "Science is like sex: sometimes something useful comes out, but # that is not the reason we are doing it." -- Richard Feynman --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
