Hi all,
I installed BackupPC on one of my Centos 5.4-machines following the wiki at http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/BackupPC#head-725ed151d366bcf182cea92f765c3739..., where BackupPC is installed from the c5-testing repo.
root@mach012 ~/ [0]# rpm -qa backuppc backuppc-3.1.0-1.el5.centos root@mach012 ~/ [0]#
Seeing how there's been some updates to BackupPC in the near past, I thought I'd run a yum update to get the updated package. That didn't work. So I searched pbone.net for a BackupPC package on CentOS5 but didn't find any. Doing the same search for RHEL5 gave me two packages (one for i386 and one for x86_64); v3.1.0-5. Looking more closely I saw that the RHEL5-packages were from epel, a repo one maybe shouldn't choose as a primary repo for ones CentOS-systems if you can help it. At least that's the impression I got from the various posts to this list.
I thought all packages available from the prominent American upstream provider got a treatment from the CentOS crew? Am I wrong or am I missing something really basic, or some part of the CentOS philosophy here? Or isn't BackupPC a package worthy of being CentOSified? 8-)
Thanks.
