yum install getinfo - "No package getinfo available."

Post by RickyB » 2014/11/12 07:54:54

Can anyone help me figure out why 'yum install getinfo' is not working?

I have read through How to Provide Information About Your System and when I run the command (logged in as root) 'yum install getinfo' the result is "No package getinfo available."
I did follow the instructions on the forum and enabled the ELRepo repository for CentOS7 by following the instructions on the home page of elrepo.org. Since yum wouldn't work, I copied the script from the getinfo.sh link and created getinfo in a local folder and used chmod +x to make it executable. I have include the results of the getinfo.sh package command below. I don't know if I am correct, but I think that the fact that 'yum install getinfo' didn't work is an indication that something is not configured correctly on my system. Thanks for helping.

I don't think the getinfo rpm has been built for el7 in ELRepo.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

I think you did, what you can. If getinfo works now, you are ready. :)

Still no package in elrepo, maybe later will be. You can ask them to build an rpm for cent7.

Thanks for your help. My apologies for my slow reply. I have reported this issue with ElRepo and requested an rpm for getinfo for el7, as suggested.

Package built (ported from el6) and currently syncing to the testing repository:

http://elrepo.org/linux/testing/el7/x86_64/RPMS/

It should show up on the mirrors shortly.

To install:

yum --enablerepo=elrepo-testing install getinfo
