| Jellorian | This blows. CentOS has terrible package management. |
| daMaestro | lol rpm -qV centos-release Jellorian, ^ |
| Jellorian | The other day yum installed a 3 year old version of svn. |
| daMaestro | This would not be the fault of yum, learn what yum is and how it works. |
| Jellorian | Yum was broken out of the box This is not my fault |
| daMaestro | Until then, you get to answer questions/commands presented to you when you demand help, or you get to go away. |
| Jellorian | I've looked for where to point yum I can't find anything |
| daMaestro | I highly doubt yum was "broken" out of box. |
| Jellorian | Yum had a bad configuration out of the box This is a theplanet server Maybe they did it |
| daMaestro | Who did the install? What did you install from? Where did you get your image(s)? etc, etc, etc Sure sounds like it. |
| Jellorian | I've googled for a good yum config file, for the repos I can't find anything |
| daMaestro | Anyways, if you ask for help; answer our questions/commands or quit bitching. ;-) Jellorian, rpm -qV centos-release |
| Jellorian | ok, sorry S.5....TC c /etc/issue S.5....TC c /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources SM5....TC c /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo |
| daMaestro | Ok, please put the output of 'cat /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo' on http://rafb.net/pates errr http://rafb.net/paste |
| Jellorian | They point to theplanet's servers oh one sec |
| daMaestro | Ok, well sadly you are in the #centos channel bitching about a 3rd party repo. Contact your host and tell them they suck. If you would like help using the public Centos mirrors, we can help with that. |
| Jellorian | I would like help with that. http://rafb.net/p/nP9q2Z22.html The yum config file points to those, I think |
| RadSurfer | what is it he's trying to install? |
| Jellorian | perl-devel |
| daMaestro | Jellorian, so you made these changes? |
