My brain must be on knots somehow.

I try to install rsync 3.x, which I know is in rpmforge repo for my architecture:

https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=22214

http://packages.sw.be/rsync/

But yum does not find it, however I try.

I have installed yum-priorities. Rpmforge is low priority. But still...

yum erase rsync # erase v2.6 from base repo

yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=rpmforge install rsyn* Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * rpmforge: ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de Setting up Install Process No package rsyn* available. Nothing to do

I managed to do this a couple of days ago, but now I cannot.

I think the problem is, rpmforge has split its repository in one that replaces/updates packages from the base OS and a repository that contains only new packages. You need to enable the first one - that's called "rpmforge-extras" not "rpmforge".

You should be able to do 'update rpmforge-release' to get the new rpmforge-extras and rpmforge-testing repos added (but they are disabled by default so you need the --enablerepo on the command line to access them).

Thanks for a triple answer. :-) Now I remember - like I said, I solved this problem once already. Hm, I should document better what I do...

Where's the fun in that? ;)
