Hi; On my Fedora Systems [/etc/yum.repos.d] I have the following repos: dag.repo dries.repo fedora-extras.repo fedora.repo fedora-updates.repo freshrpms.repo livna.repo
Two questions:
- Where can I get a .repo file (with centos url's
of course) for the baseic stuff like updates and extras. 1b) Can I use redhat repos?
- What about the other guys, livna, dag, dries,
freshrpms. Which one of these is safe to use on a production server in conjunction with the repos used in answer to question 1 above? 2b Are the url's the same?
Thank you all. nat, a centos newbie.
You may/may not be aware of potential pitfalls in repository mixing particularly in fedora. If you want the latest and greatest look to fedora. If you want a stable enterprise grade distro for use as a server look to centos.
Don't think about migrating/doing a yum upgrade/downgrade from fedora to centOS by yum as you will experience plenty of hassle. Simply get centos 4.3 on isos and install from sratch.
You should have a CentOS-Base.repo. To install dag get the rpmforge release. Your /etc/yum.repos.d/ should look as follows.
$ ls /etc/yum.repos.d/ CentOS-Base.repo rpmforge.repo mirrors-rpmforge
