Re: [ydl-gen] Blender
Saludos Luis! Un abraso desde un Borinqueño celebrando la belleza de La Vida con usted y amistades! Ok. In answer to your question it is best to access a public server close to your country so that the download is bearable. Two ways to get this done. Modify yum so that it points to those servers, and let it do the work for you (finding all the dependencies, etc.) or you can download the package directly from the public server yourself. First option: modifying yum. Yum has gone through some changes over time but if you follow the instructions posted here you should be ok. Here's the link: http://us.fixstars.com/support/solutions/ydl_6.x/yum.shtml/ The information there is compressed so it is easy to miss. The reference regarding yum.repos.d for instance means that within /etc (the etc directory) you should find /yum.repos.d (the yum.repos.d directory). Within /yum.repos.d should be the other files including yellowdog-base.repo. Each distinct file must point to the correct public server; this means that the directories listed in each file must exactly reflect the actual directories on the public server which you want yum to access. Following this method, if you are going to add a server in each file, you must of course, write into each file that server's directory structure for ydl 6.1 correctly -- a total of three times. The old way modify yum to do the same thing is to modify yum.conf which is also within /etc. You still have to write the directory out correctly three times, but this time you are only modifying yum.conf -- one file. The only thing you save may be your temper and maybe avoid writer's cramp. Which method you choose is up to you, but the current way of doing it -- the harder way -- actually helps keep yum secure, although explaining how is beyond this note. I'm going to imagine that you understand this and present to you a link to where you can find public servers for ydl. They are here: http://us.fixstars.com/support/downloads/ Scroll down that page and you'll see the available public mirrors. I recommend you view/visit the public mirror you think you will use and learn how it's set up for yellowdog first before you decide to modify yum. Work on yum after you have a clear idea of how the directories are ordered within that server for ydl 6.1. Keep in mind that although different versions of ydl are ordered the same within one server -- different servers may have different directory structures/order in which ydl 6.1 resides. I'm going to imagine that all the above has been done and you are ready for yum to find and install Blender for you. How do you do that? Here is the really simple part, after you endured all the above: #yum install "*blender*" That's it! Really. Te le judo! I promise you. Ironic, isn't it? The * are wildcards which tells yum to find any other package of software associated with blender. Yum will find them and sort out all their dependencies and blender's dependencies at the same time. The result will be studio quality software on your ydl box. Just so you get the feeling you are actually doing something -- after all yum did the real work anyway -- I would recommend a decent text which uses and discusses blender in some length. Towards that end I recommend two books by Norman Lin, they are: Linux 3D Graphics Programming and Advanced Linux 3D Graphics Programming. Without yum, you'll be downloading Blender components and dependencies and dependencies of those dependencies one at a time and you will risk missing something. Just thought I'd let you know both that the "easy" and "hard" way in reference to Blender is a matter of interpretation, but if I were you I'd get to work with a Corona or Dos XX on the side and get yum ready to search and download from various servers. As for me, I don't have a preference; I enjoy them both. One day one, then I swap and do the other some days later. I refer to Dos XX and Corona, of course. Buena Suerte y recuerdas a engosarse algún tiempo...

Look: [r...@ps3 yum.repos.d]# yum list|grep -i blender [r...@ps3 yum.repos.d]# Is there any other repos other than base, update and extra?

Re: [ydl-gen] Blender
Unfortunately Luis the only language I know besides English is Spanish. Your server is in France or a French country? I'll make a stronger effort to clarify my English for your benefit. Also I want to recommend Google Translate which allows fairly good translation between Spanish, French and English. To our communications problem: Those files in yum.repos.d are instructions to yum in which servers on the web to look for rpms in. Those files do not contain the rpms themselves. If you open one of the files (with a text editor) you will see that it is very much like the example link I referred to you. The reason you got no response from your system is because blender is not installed on your computer. yum can search servers on the web external to your computer and compare what is there with what you have on your hard-drive and inform you whether it is installed or not. I executed the same command you used, on my own system. Here is the result: [r...@arakus aguila]# yum list|grep -i blender blender.ppc 2.45-17.el5 installed [r...@arakus aguila]# Your computer responded as it did because yum discovered that blender is not present and so it represented the non-presence of blender by reporting nothing. I'm using YDL 6.2. However I know that blender is part of the package of software available for YDL 6.1 because I also used YDL 6.1 and other earlier versions of YDL. I'm going to execute running yum to list and provide information regarding blender. I'll share the results here and I'd like you on your system to run the same sequence of commands I did. Ok? Here goes: [agu...@arakus ~]$ su Password: [r...@arakus aguila]# yum info "*blender*" Loading "installonlyn" plugin base 100% |=| 1.1 kB 00:00 updates 100% |=| 951 B 00:00 extras100% |=| 951 B 00:00 Installed Packages Name : blender Arch : ppc Version: 2.45 Release: 17.el5 Size : 27 M Repo : installed Summary: 3D modeling, animation, rendering and post-production Description: Blender is the essential software solution you need for 3D, from modeling, animation, rendering and post-production to interactive creation and playback.

[r...@arakus aguila]# The above is how yum responded to my command to inform me something about blender. If you execute the same command you will get the same result.
