I long ago standardized on yum, and have been maintaining my own repos for various flavors. (Such as, a yum repo for updates from Progeny for aging RedHat 7.x systems - their curl-based system sucks, but sticking a yum repo on top of an "update" yum repo managed by a cron script makes managing updates a single-command process) Thanks - the config on my server has been so updated, and yum update works as expected. -Ben On Thursday 29 December 2005 04:01, Johnny Hughes wrote: > On Thu, 2005-12-29 at 00:15 -0800, Benjamin Smith wrote: > > I installed the new compat (there are now both in the dev RPM repo) rpm and > > then was able to install php-pgsql with yum. > > > > I've verified that it works, on the dual-proc Opteron without a hitch.
