CentOS

You must add a few new lines to your: presto.conf (/etc/yum/pluginconf.d) i.e. # Please go to http://hosted.fedoraproject.org/projects/presto for a list of # presto-enabled repositories [main] enabled=1 neverkeepdeltas=1 [centos] deltaurl=http://www.lesbg.com/jdieter/updates/centos5/i386/ That shoul...

Presto also seems to work also for CentOS 5.0.

It seems there's works in progress going on this:


see: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2005-July/thread.html


Also you could always check the redhat mailing list on this : https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-cluster/


As you can see there are more people having compiling problems.

Maybe their could done a rebuild for CentOS 4.1 Because it now (finally) has become available for RHEL4. See the source RPMS on : ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/4/en/ I don't know exactly when it was released but is must me short. I think a lot of people are interested in this kind...

This is just a suggestion but maybe it's good idea to replace the standard yum.conf baseurl with a new one. This new yum.conf must contain a list of CentOS Mirrors just the same way as the Fedora Project is doing. see the example at : http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/ i.e. FC4 is: http://fe...

http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2005-February/002197.html


It has more articles on it than in the official (CentOS in the News) frontpage section.

More information and Documentation can now be found at:

I've read on the mailing list (http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2005-June/006798.html)
the disscusion about this topic.


Maybe you could also give BOBS a try.

For those who like the Fedora Directory Server is now available :

It might also work on CentOS 3 and 4.


P.S. this was already mentioned here: http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2005-June/006643.html

Your are absolutely right this exactly what I mean: (an alternative to the web driven interface of redhat network) The general idea is to get more RHN like features which you can see here : http://www.redhat.com/f/rhn20050117.swf Altough I realize this cannot do exactly the same thing as the origina...
