I am trying to install swatch via yum but it doesn't recognize swatch as being available. I have tried various naming conventions such as swatch-3 etc but still no go. I have Dags repo in yum.conf and I see it listed there on his webpage. In addition, I did a yum search swatch and still nada. Anyone have an idea as to why it will not install? I'm running CentOS 3.5
Thanks, Ed

Ed,
Maybe you could cut/paste the dag portion of your yum.conf?
I believe "yum install swatch" should be all you need. Can you show what happens when you execute that command?

Greg, here is the result from running yum:
[root@helpdesk root]# yum -y install swatch Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: CentOS-3 - Addons Server: CentOS-3 - Base Server: CentOS-3 - Plus Server: Dag RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server: CentOS-3 - Extras Server: CentOS-3 - Updates Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers Cannot find a package matching swatch No actions to take
My dag yum info:
[dag] name=Dag RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el$releasever/en/$basearch/dag gpgcheck=1 enabled=1
FYI - Dag's site has worked great for other package installations. Curious this package isn't recognized.

Yes.
Maybe dag will build an el3 rpm for it? Eh dag?
Regards, Greg
I am CC'ing this to the RPMForge USERS list, perhaps its better tracked there...

Go on, help out a bit.... Dag publishes buildlogs, there should be something there with a .el3. tag, look inside, see anything interesting ?
Are there any other package depends creating issues ? can you locate those pkgs in either CentOS, RPMForge ? are there any version issues ? Has Dag ( or whoever is authority for that .spec file ) marked it as 'wontbuild' on el3 ?

The buildlog is very clear. swatch needs perl-Date-Calc, which comes with every distribution by default except el3.
Solution: add perl-Date-Calc in RPMforge only for el3
Ed, you should really look at the buildlogs yourself if you want answers to questions like this. You can come up with solutions yourself and maybe even contribute a working perl-Date-Calc based on other perl module packages.

is there a URL that we can use for el3 or el4 for rpmforge?
I ask because http://rpmforge.net/user/packages/yum/ only lists FC-4

I'm not sure what you mean ? There is a rpmforge-release package that configures yum/apt/smart automatically.

That's because yum is only build for FC4 (don't ask me why, ask Dries :) The reason why yum is not available for other releases is that Fedora and CentOS already come with Yum, and RHEL requires up2date.

At this time me building anything is a huge question mark and probably will not be fit for my consumption let alone the masses.....but again your point is taken and thanks to Craigs "how to" I may be able to not kill my system :-)

---- I'm afraid Dag is correct - as I have tried to build on my 'Whitebox' (EL-3) system, I cannot get perl-Date-Calc

Ya, I failed myself, then I realized the point Dag was making. Unfortunately, as of now, I do not know how to start in creating a perl-Date-Calc rpm to submit to rpmforge.
Looks like I need to start googling.

---- tougher than it first appears
perl -MCPAN -e shell
install Date::Calc
has some dependencies as well.
to build them in an rpm, you would have to download the perl modules from cpan, create a spec file that builds the rpm from the tarballs you downloaded from cpan.
but even though I have installed Date::Calc, I still can't build the rpm.

---- download source rpm (command line makes this easiest) as root...
wget http://dag.wieers.com/packages/swatch/swatch-3.1-1.dag.src.rpm
rpmbuild --rebuild swatch-3.1-1.dag.src.rpm
I could get 2 of the 3 perl modules from Dag repository...
yum install perl-Date-Calc perl-File-Tail
but not perl-Date-Format ;-(
Now I'm curious how dag is getting it done...
switch to RHEL 4 server...
he adds dependencies for... Install: perl-Mail-Sendmail.noarch 0:0.79-1.2.el4.rf - dag Install: perl-TimeDate.noarch 0:1.16-1.2.el4.rf - dag
so I think before you can rpmbuild, you will need to do this...
yum install perl-Date-Calc perl-File-Tail perl-TimeDate perl-Mail-Sendmail
and then you can do the rpmbuild command
Once it's built, to install should be fairly simple...
rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch/swatch-3.1-1.noarch.rpm
