Hi, we have a new customer to support. They have RHEL5 not CentOS5.<br></blockquote></div></div><br>
You need to think more about things like compiling custom kernels or 3rd party repos, since you have upstream paid support now.<br>
</blockquote><div><br> I've been thinking about 3rd party repos<br><br> So far the only non RHEL packages I've installed are freenx and nx from the CentOS extras. I haven't been able to find them anywhere else.<br>
<br> I am puzzled by the status of yum-priorities.<br><br> Unless I'm looking at things cross eyed. <br> It's in the CentOS5 base repository,<br> Which I think means it should be in the RHEL5 repositories,<br>
but I can't find it there.<br><br> I'm pretty sure I have a sufficient understanding of yum-priorities on CentOS to adapt it to RHEL, once I install it.<br><br> And I really need to learn more about package management and repositories in a pure CentOS environment.<br>
<br> I really don't understand the voodoo for overriding the priorities, for a specific packages when necessary.<br><br> And I really wish there was a way to browse the available packages by repo after the priorities have been taken into consideration.<br>
<br> And in addition I wish there was to browse the packages that are blocked by packages in other repositories, <br><br> And better ways to understand how dependency issues effect which versions of a package are available. <br>
<br> Is there a good place to look for documentation relative to the above.<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
