I think I found one of my setup problems. I followed instructions at: http://atrpms.net/install.html

And now I see that the information shown there to put into yum.conf (that I put into yum.repo.d/atrpms.repo) is only for FC, not for RL5 (thus Centos 5).

What do I use in my atrmps.repo to get it to access the RL5 directories?

There is a package called atrpms-package-config, but you can just as well simply cut and paste the following.

Don't enable atrpms-testing or atrpms-bleeding as they mean what they are named as. :) (They are disabled by default in the example below, so it's safe to cut and paste)

$ cat /etc/yum.repos.d/atrpms.repo # # [atrpms] name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 - x86_64 - ATrpms baseurl=http://dl.atrpms.net/el5-x86_64/atrpms/stable failovermethod=priority

# # requires stable # [atrpms-testing] name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 - x86_64 - ATrpms testing baseurl=http://dl.atrpms.net/el5-x86_64/atrpms/testing failovermethod=priority enabled=0

# # requires stable and testing # [atrpms-bleeding] name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 - x86_64 - ATrpms bleeding baseurl=http://dl.atrpms.net/el5-x86_64/atrpms/bleeding failovermethod=priority enabled=0

Thanks a bunch for this. I have to boot back to Centos 4 for a bit (figure out what is wrong with my Thunderbird setup), then come back and try this.

I use yumex, and first do everything stable. Then if I am looking for things, then I enable bleeding and testing. I should note that at least until recently, the wpasupplicant was over at either testing or bleeding, don't remember which right now...

And while you are fiddeling with your yum config, do yourself (and possibly this list) a favor and read up on and configure either protectbase or priorites (those are yum plugins).

All set on protectbase.

I will have to look into priorities. Seem to recall about this, but I am sure whatever I did over on Centos 4 did not carry over to Centos 5. Protectbase did, as that is easy and well covered on the wiki with 3rd party repos.

I do a lot of searching in a message base of over 25K messages before I post here. Of course the thing with searching is knowing what to search for!
