Greetings,
I have a freshly installed Centos 6.2 box with everything (darn! I had to hand select each and every package -- IIRC one of the fedora versions had a nice "select all" checkbox).
My questions are:
1. Can somebody suggest a way to select all packages while installing from DVD? 2. Can somebody suggest a versioning system which integrates well with a bug tracking system (I had installed Subversion with Trac more than a couple of years back on Centos 5.x for some customer -- but it was a kludge as it required many things not provided with stock Centos 5.x like some python some php 5.2 etc.)
TIA,

Trac is packaged in the EPEL repository, and an only slightly outdated subversion is in the base distribution. Redmine and git might be more fashionable these days.

Thanks Les.
I _did_ install trac from exactly from the same repository. Somehow I lost the path to instantiating it.
I had installed trac+svn about two years back on a Centos 5 box successfully.
I am feeling somewhat lost now with Centos 6.

you cant install everything from the DVD, since packages overlap and conflict with each other. a %post of yum --skip-broken install *; might be your best bet.

You really do not want to install all packages. You should only install the packages you need to run the things you want to run.
Installing all packages puts services on your machine, some of them listening on the default Ethernet interface.
This greatly increases your security risk to the machine. For example, you have no reason to install an FTP server if you are not going to provide an FTP service. You do not need to install samba-server if you are not going to be on a windows network ,etc.
There are also packages (usually named *-devel*) that are only required if you are compiling things on the machine.
If you insist on install "ALL" then you are putting things on the machine, which may have security issues, that do absolutely nothing for you except give someone the ability to attack an unneeded service.
