Re: Can Yum install multiple versions of the same RPM?

Seth,
The latter. Here are a few listings of the actual RPMs, and the header names match:

pathscale-2.3.1-0.x86_64.rpm
pathscale-2.4-0.x86_64.rpm
pathscale-2.4-ptools.x86_64.rpm
pathscale-2.5-ptools.x86_64.rpm
pathscale-3-0.ptools1.x86_64.rpm

pgi-5.2-4.x86_64.rpm
pgi-6.1-3.ptools2.x86_64.rpm
pgi-6.1-3.x86_64.rpm
pgi-6.1-5.ptools.x86_64.rpm
pgi-6.1-5.x86_64.rpm
pgi-6.2-4.ptools2.x86_64.rpm
pgi-6.2-4.ptools.x86_64.rpm

I have to honestly say that I haven't tried it, but I have had dependency errors with a few other locally built packages conflicting with FC provided versions with the same name (subversion comes to mind), and we had to change the names.

DO I need to use the installonly plugin/directive?

Thanks for your help.

If I have 4 or 5 versions of say pgi or intel compilers that I need to make available on a compile server, and each version installs into it's
own directory tree, such as /opt/PGI/6.7.8 & /opt/PGI/6.7.9 , etc...
then can yum do this? Will it complain and/or try to upgrade?
Would I use installonly?
How do I do this?
There would be no conflict per se, and I've been doing this with rpm, and
wish to move to yum.

How are the pkgs named? Are they named:

pgi679-6.7.9-1

or are they named:
pgi-6.7.9-1
pgi-6.7.8-1

or something like that

in either case there is a way to make them work, provided you're not
installing them with rpm --force or any such silliness.
