RPMforge repository is a collaboration of Dag, Dries, and other packagers. The default RPMforge repository does not replace any CentOS base packages. This post covers the steps to configure RPMforge repository on linux CentOS 6.3. This steps has been tested on CentOS 6.3 and should be working on Redhat linux Enterprise 6.<\/p>\n
1. Download the rpmforge-release package and DAG\u2019s GPG key :<\/p>\n
\n[root@centos63 ~]# wget http:\/\/pkgs.repoforge.org\/rpmforge-release\/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.i686.rpm\n[root@centos63 ~]# wget wget http:\/\/apt.sw.be\/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt\n<\/pre>\n2. Install DAG\u2019s GPG key :<\/p>\n
\n[root@centos63 ~]# rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt\n<\/pre>\n3. Verify the rpmforge-release package that you have downloaded :<\/p>\n
\n[root@centos63 ~]# rpm -K rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.i686.rpm\nrpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.i686.rpm: (sha1) dsa sha1 md5 gpg OK\n<\/pre>\n4. If ok, proceed to install the rpmforge-release package using this command :<\/p>\n
\n[root@centos63 ~]# rpm -ivh rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.i686.rpm\nPreparing... ########################################### [100%]\n 1:rpmforge-release ########################################### [100%]\n<\/pre>\n5. Proceed to configure RPMforge repository. Open the RPMforge configuration file and insert “priority=3” after “enabled = 1” in the [rpmforge] section as below :<\/p>\n
\n[root@centos63 ~]# vi \/etc\/yum.repos.d\/rpmforge.repo\n<\/pre>\n\n### Name: RPMforge RPM Repository for RHEL 6 - dag\n### URL: http:\/\/rpmforge.net\/\n[rpmforge]\nname = RHEL $releasever - RPMforge.net - dag\nbaseurl = http:\/\/apt.sw.be\/redhat\/el6\/en\/$basearch\/rpmforge\nmirrorlist = http:\/\/apt.sw.be\/redhat\/el6\/en\/mirrors-rpmforge\n#mirrorlist = file:\/\/\/etc\/yum.repos.d\/mirrors-rpmforge\nenabled = 1\npriority = 3\nprotect = 0\ngpgkey = file:\/\/\/etc\/pki\/rpm-gpg\/RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmforge-dag\ngpgcheck = 1\n\n[rpmforge-extras]\nname = RHEL $releasever - RPMforge.net - extras\nbaseurl = http:\/\/apt.sw.be\/redhat\/el6\/en\/$basearch\/extras\nmirrorlist = http:\/\/apt.sw.be\/redhat\/el6\/en\/mirrors-rpmforge-extras\n#mirrorlist = file:\/\/\/etc\/yum.repos.d\/mirrors-rpmforge-extras\nenabled = 0\nprotect = 0\ngpgkey = file:\/\/\/etc\/pki\/rpm-gpg\/RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmforge-dag\ngpgcheck = 1\n\n[rpmforge-testing]\nname = RHEL $releasever - RPMforge.net - testing\nbaseurl = http:\/\/apt.sw.be\/redhat\/el6\/en\/$basearch\/testing\nmirrorlist = http:\/\/apt.sw.be\/redhat\/el6\/en\/mirrors-rpmforge-testing\n#mirrorlist = file:\/\/\/etc\/yum.repos.d\/mirrors-rpmforge-testing\nenabled = 0\nprotect = 0\ngpgkey = file:\/\/\/etc\/pki\/rpm-gpg\/RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmforge-dag\ngpgcheck = 1\n<\/pre>\n6. Check the updated repository list in \/etc\/yum.repos.d using the following command :<\/p>\n
\n[root@centos63 ~]# yum repolist\nLoaded plugins: fastestmirror, presto\nLoading mirror speeds from cached hostfile\n * base: mirrors.hostemo.com\n * extras: mirrors.hostemo.com\n * rpmforge: mirror.oscc.org.my\n * updates: mirrors.hostemo.com\nrepo id repo name status\nCentOS6.3-Repository DVD-CentOS6.3 repository 4,776\nbase CentOS-6 - Base 4,776\nextras CentOS-6 - Extras 4\nrpmforge RHEL 6 - RPMforge.net - dag 4,448\nupdates CentOS-6 - Updates 202\nrepolist: 14,206\n<\/pre>\n7. You can start using RPMforge Repository on your RHEL 6 or CentOS 6 linux server :<\/p>\n
