| donavan | yum is the interface to yum |
| ChrisGo | i must be thinking gentoo oe something oe debian lol its been so long |
| ivazquez | You're thinking aptitude maybe? |
| ChrisGo | yes thank you oh well was bugging me but I am all good now :) how do you fins out what apps are using what port something is using port 111 and it kinda bugs me |
| donavan | ChrisGo: this is not a basic linux support channel; please try ##linux This channel is for CentOS related issues |
| ChrisGo | is iptables the default firewall on cent 4.4? |
| deepsa | yeah |
| hax_ | how can i specifically install a package from centosplus? that is, there's two versions of postfix, one in base and one in centosplus... but they're the same 'version', so it doesnt know which to install |
| donavan | use the one in base, you'd know if you needed the one in plus |
| hax_ | i do know i need it it has mysql support i just dont know how to install it with yum i guess i'll have to download the rpm if i can't have yum do it for me |
| donavan | man yum, read about --enablerepo |
| hax_ | donavan: it is enabled, and base is protected but with postfix* excluded donavan: using centosplus isnt the confusing part here... it simply wont upgrade it because they're both identical versions or, close enough anyway, the one from base is 2:2.2.10-1.1.el4 and the one from plus is 2:2.2.10-1.RHEL4.2.mys (i think that should go on to say mysql?) |
| action | donavan looks |
| donavan | looks |
| hax_ | donavan: i'm still new to centos, so i could be missing something, but yum doesnt seem to have a way to force a specific version to install donavan: if i just wget the rpm and rpm -i it will i break anything in the future? |
| donavan | hax_: newest only hax_: no telling -- that is a bad policy to use |
| hax_ | donavan: hmm... maybe an approach would be to uninstall and reinstall 'postfix'? now that it's excluded from base? |
| donavan | exclude doesn't seem to be working for me -- hold on a moment |
| hax_ | donavan: it must have to do with the versioning, i can't come up with anything else |
| donavan | hax, concur wonder if it isn't an epoch issue... |
| hax_ | donavan: i'm not entirely sure what that means, but i'm glad i found a bug heh |
| donavan | well -- may will have installed on centos 4.4 but now that 4.5 is released... hax_: please file a bug at bugs.centos.org wrt yum not being able to install postfix from centosplus |
| BlackHand | use exim ^_^ |
| donavan | what is werid is that I have exclude=postfix\* in both base and updates in my repo conf |
| ZBandit | Has anyone done the yum update yet? Will it update the 4.4 to 5.0 or does it goto 4.5? |
| donavan | 4 always updates to the latest 4 release |
| hax_ | donavan: oh man, i dont wanna file a bug |
