I am trying to do this with wget:

Problem: the site takes FOREVER to complete its download.  Dribble,
dribble, dribble.  Occasionally is just stops.  And wget hangs.

I fired this web page up in Firefox ten minutes ago and it is still
loading!

Is there a way to get wget to just time out after a while?



curl has -m option for that




Hi Vladimir,

I just finished incorporating this in to a huge updates script
I wrote.  It is working marvelously.  Thank you!

Re: how to add packages that are not in the repo?

 i forgot to ask, how do i get around the 'file dependency' problem?

Using yum instead of rpm _may_ resolve the dependencies, if the
required packages are part of existing repos. If that doesn't work,
you can try searching pbone.net for packages that may resolve the
issues.

Hi Trin,

Go to pbone.net, find the package (rpm) you want to install.

Download the package.

switch to root and install the package
rpm -ivh package.rpm


If you can't find the package for SL on phone, then it
gets interesting.

What did you have in mind?

them in the repos. some of them are older files that are no longer
supported. i want them because the newer versions don't work as
well.

Re: how to add packages that are not in the repo?

2015-05-29 Thread prmarino1
Put them all in the same directory and yum should figure it out. If not then I 
think there was an option ‎called --assist or --aid for the rpm command which 
will do it but it's been a while.

Also remember to check /etc/cron.daily there is a yum autoupdate package that 
installs by default on 6 and bellow that runs a cronjob to run yum update -y 
every day you will want to either disable it or install the yum blacklist 
extension rpm‎ and configure it to prevent it from updating those packages.

You can also do yum install /path/to.rpm
If you use the rpm command directly yum complains about it, butt it's no
big deal if it does.
