Hello.
I would like ask about install last firefox version 1.5.0.3 under centos, what is thee better option, as rpm pachage I didn´t found nothing.
Enable the Centos Plus respository by editing the file /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo, so that the relevant section reads:
#additional packages that extend functionality of existing packages [centosplus] name=CentOS-$releasever - Plus baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/centosplus/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 enabled=1 gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-centos4
The you should find that when you do a 'yum update', firefox will be upgraded to 1.5.0.2.
And because we all know technology is perverse, vindictive, comedic and unreliable, you should maintain complete control (IMO) by doing what so many others have suggested (IIRC), similar to the below.
In CentOS-Base.repo, for [base] and [update] add lines similar to this
excludepkgs = firefox
and in [centosplus] add a line like this
includepkgs = firefox
This prevents any updates to the base release from wiping out the version from plus.
GUI!? We don't need no stinkin' GUI! ;-) If you step in GUI, it probably *does* stink!
