I apologize for my how-to not being very detailed about setting up Dag's
repo, but it was intentionally geared toward Nagios, not Dag. I simply
create a dag.repo file which looks like:
[dag]
name=Dag RPM Repository For Red Hat Enterprise Linux
baseurl=http://dag.atrpms.net/redhat/el$releasever/en/$basearch/dag/
http://dag.freshrpms.net/redhat/el$releasever/en/$basearch/dag/
http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/freshrpms/pub/dag/redhat/el$releasever/en/$basearch/dag
http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el$releasever/en/$basearch/dag
enabled=0
gpgcheck=1
I don't believe this is the preferred way to load Dag's packages,
however, thus the reason I mention to refer to the documentation for Dag
in the how-to.
I believe Dag's how-to for setting up access to his repo is to use
apt-get. So you install things this way, then substitute the "apt-get"
command for yum.
