Hi all, I installed BackupPC on one of my Centos 5.4-machines following the wiki at http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/BackupPC#head-725ed151d366bcf182cea92f765c373900cfc9dc, where BackupPC is installed from the c5-testing repo. root@mach012 ~/ [0]# rpm -qa backuppc backuppc-3.1.0-1.el5.centos root@mach012 ~/ [0]# Seeing how there's been some updates to BackupPC in the near past, I thought I'd run a yum update to get the updated package. That didn't work. So I searched pbone.net for a BackupPC package on CentOS5 but didn't find any. Doing the same search for RHEL5 gave me two packages (one for i386 and one for x86_64); v3.1.0-5. Looking more closely I saw that the RHEL5-packages were from epel, a repo one maybe shouldn't choose as a primary repo for ones CentOS-systems if you can help it. At least that's the impression I got from the various posts to this list. I thought all packages available from the prominent American upstream provider got a treatment from the CentOS crew? Am I wrong or am I missing something really basic, or some part of the CentOS philosophy here? Or isn't BackupPC a package worthy of being CentOSified? 8-) Thanks. -- BW, Sorin ----------------------------------------------------------- # Sorin Srbu [Sysadmin, Systems Engineer] # Dept of Medicinal Chemistry, Phone: +46 (0)18-4714482 >3 signals> GSM # Div of Org Pharm Chem, Mobile: +46 (0)701-718023 # Box 574, Uppsala University, Fax: +46 (0)18-4714482 # SE-751 23 Uppsala, Sweden Visit: BMC, Husargatan 3, D5:512b # Web: http://www.orgfarm.uu.se ----------------------------------------------------------- # () ASCII ribbon campaign - Against html E-mail # /\ # # MotD follows: # "Success is the ability to go from one failure to another, with no loss of enthusiasm." -Sir Winston Churchill
