Hello fellow CentOS'ers-
I'm trying to install a package from a not-to-be-named repository (privately operated for some proprietary software). They currently have a package I need but offer multiple versions. However, if I simply 'yum install packagename' it defaults to pulling down the most recent package. I would like to pull down the older version of the package but I'm unable to do so.
So, how would you specify version number for a package with two candidates but the same name? I'm at a loss... :-(
Why would the admin of the un-named repo include two versions unless one could be an update/bugfix? Did you try asking the admin of that repo? For example here is bash from base and update on CentOS 4
bash-3.0-19.7.i386.rpm 27-Jul-2008 03:30 1.7M bash-3.0-19.7.el4_7.1.i386.rpm 20-Oct-2008 14:53 1.7M
Tim Nelson I rather liked your sig in http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2009-January/070282.html
