[CentOS] how to install BackupPC on CentOS 5.2 -- use Testing repository

[Aleksey Tsalolikhin]

What's a protect base?


I added the Test repository to my yum.conf and then I was able to just
yum it in.  I bet you already had the Test repository in your yum
config, dnk.

Thanks for your reply!

Here is what I added to /etc/yum.conf:

[c5-testing]
name=CentOS-5 Testing
baseurl=http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/testing/x86_64
enabled=1
