Centos

Upgrading subversion 1.42 => 1.6.x via yum

Well, the only rpm repository out there offering subversion above 1.4.x was / is rpmforge (aka DAG).

In order to add rpmforge to your RedHat / CentOs repository one has to update their yum repositories by installing the rpmforge-release package which you can also find @: http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/

 

The problem I encountered was, I had a Centos 5.5 x86_64 with subversion & mod_dav_svn 1.4.2, after updating to the latest rpmforge-release, I expected a 

yum update subversion mod_dav_svn

to do the trick for me well no ...

So after banging my head on my keyboard after trying to manually downloading the rpms (which are there by the way!), and still faling on dependencies.

 

Reading all I could online in order to solve this issue I stunbledupon:

Yum-RPM repository - Begining

Ok so as part of the installation process at Tikal we need a few rpm & apt-get packadges in order to install ALM, I recentlly added a small repository of collected rpms for rl5 (RHEL5 / CentOs5) - is is accessible via http://tux.tikalk.com/tikal-repos/rl5/ which is now on a test site - but is checked an working

As of now ther are only Pel prms which are used as Bugzilla installation prequiesets.

 

In order to test-run / enable this repository on a RedHat / CnetOs system perform the following tasks:

create a file called: tikal.repo under the directory /etc/yum.repos.d/

[my machine]# vim /etc/yum.repos.d/tikal.repo

copy 'n' paste the following lines:

[tikal]


baseurtl=http://tux.tikalk.com/tikal-repos/rl5


enabled=1

 

you can also have enabled=0 but if you want to install from the repository yoiu will have to run the following command:
