In this small tutorial, were going to post as many yum repositorys as we know exist and show how to install packages from only certian repositorys. Along with this thread (http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=26562) I will post as many repo as I know of. Keep in mind, leaving them ALL "enable" can cause distruction to your box ;) But, we (or me, if nobody joins in) will show you how you can enable/disable on the fly during install of a package. Also keep in mind that when you setup your <name>.rep that the firest line is very important to haveing the name correct ie. [freshrpms] would = --enablerepo=freshrpms , if your [freshrpms.org] and you try --enablerepo=freshrpms it will bomb out. Anyway, before I go confusing you any more, lets get started.

First we will add all the repositorys to /etc/yum.repos.d/ you can use your favorite text editor (vi, nano, gedit) just cp and paste the following. I will be using "vi" in this example:


Get the gpgkey's http://www.fedorafaq.org/#gpgsig
su -
cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
vi freshrpms.repo

[freshrpms]
name=FreshRPMS-Fresh

vi livna-testing.repo

[livna-testing]

vi livna-unstable.repo

vi atrpms-bleeding.repo

[atrpms-bleeding]
name=ATrpms for Fedora Core $releasever bleeding
baseurl=http://apt.atrpms.net/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/at-bleeding
enabled=0
gpgcheck=1


Now, were going to install xmms-mp3 from Freshrpms (mp3 support everyone loves it and loves to complaing about Fedora not including it) :rolleyes:

We are going to enable freshrpms/dag/dries/newsrpms and disable the rest. Even though we set them as enable=0 this is just a caution incase you set it to =1


yum --enablerepo=freshrpms --enablerepo=dag --enablerepo=dries --enablerepo=newsrpms --disablerepo=livna-stable --disable=livna-testing --disablerepo=livna-unstable --disablerepo=fedora-us --disablerepo=atrpms-stable --disablerepo=atrpms-good --disablerepo=atrpms-testing --disablerepo=atrpms-bleeding install xmms-mp3

As you can see, we grabbed xmms and xmms-mp3 from freshrpms


While were at it, lets grab mplayer since other than listening to mp3's we like a little DVD action.

This is why IMHO Fedora and yum as a package manager just rocks!

I hoped you learned something today and if I confused you even more, oops

Trust me you are not the only one. But great how to. I dont use vi a lot i prefer to use gedit or nano.

One of my friends helped me write a python script (Steve S. did pretty much all of it) I had the idea and told him what I wanted to do and he did it. You DA man Steve :)

Want to see a taste of it? I have all my repo's setup like I do up there.


$ rpm -qa |grep unrar

Found nothing and we know freshrpms has it by looking at there site right? Right.


$ sudo ./yum-repos.py

Use su or sudo? su/sudo:sudo

What pkg do you want to install? unrar

Here we run the script, answer the questions and say um how about unrar!

Is this ok [y/N]:

As you can see, did the dirty work and looked at our default "fedora" repo's and Freshrpms, which is set to:


$ more /etc/yum.repos.d/freshrpms.repo
[freshrpms]
name=FreshRPMS-Fresh
baseurl=http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/$releasever/$basearch/freshrpms
enabled=0
gpgcheck=0


Well, thats not enabled now is it? NO

Lets go ahead and hit "Y" and see what happens

Very nice all around cybrjackle, both the How-To and the script. Would you mind posting the source to that script? That looks really useful.

I have followed the steps, and when I try to install xmms-mp3 using yum I get this:
[root@localhost yum.repos.d]# yum --enablerepo=freshrpms --enablerepo=dag --enablerepo=dries --enablerepo=newsrpms --disablerepo=livna-stable --disable=livna-testing --disablerepo=livna-unstable --disablerepo=fedora-us --disablerepo=atrpms-stable --disablerepo=atrpms-good --disablerepo=atrpms-testing --disablerepo=atrpms-bleeding install xmms-mp3

You have enabled checking of packages via GPG keys. This is a good thing.
However, you do not have any GPG public keys installed. You need to download
the keys for packages you wish to install and install them.
You can do that by running the command:
rpm --import public.gpg.key
For more information contact your distribution or package provider.


I disabled gpgcheck in all the repositories in the folder (including the official ones [should I switch back on?]).

Hi DXT,
It would be better to do gpgcheck on, I think.
To install software after install FC3, you need to run "rpm --import /usr/share/rhn/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora" (without quote) as root.
If you still have public.gpg.key message when you use freshrpms repo., then you need import gpg key from freshrpm website. It is "rpm --import http://freshrpms.net/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.txt" (again without quote as root). Other gpg keys of repository can be found at their site.
Hope, this was of help.

Since I am a bit lazy, I just added the following lines to the root-user's .bashrc-file


DISABLE_LIVNA='--disablerepo=livna-stable --disablerepo=livna-testing --disablerepo=livna-unstable'
DISABLE_FEDORA_US='--disablerepo=us-updates'
DISABLE_STD="${DISABLE_LIVNA} ${DISABLE_FEDORA_US}"
ENABLE_AT='--enablerepo=at-stable --enablerepo=at-good --enablerepo=at-testing'
ENABLE_DAG='--enablerepo=dag'
ENABLE_FRESH='--enablerepo=freshrpms'
ENABLE_ALL="${ENABLE_AT} ${ENABLE_DAG} ${ENABLE_FRESH}"

alias yumfreshrpms="yum ${ENABLE_FRESH} ${DISABLE_LIVNA} ${DISABLE_FEDORA_US}"
alias yumdag="yum ${ENABLE_DAG} ${DISABLE_STD}"
alias yumat="yum ${ENABLE_AT} ${DISABLE_STD}"
alias yumsearch="yum ${ENABLE_ALL} search"


Thus, if I wan't to search all my repos for a package I do:
yumsearch mplayer

If I want to install / update some specific package, I do this:
yumfreshrpms install mplayer

I have livna and fedora.us always enabled, unless specifically disabled.

This could of course be done in a much better way by someone understanding all the links between the assorted repositories. From what I have read so far, there is no easy way to update all rpm's you have installed from for instance freshrpms if you also have installed rpm's from fedora.us and livna, since you may enter "dependency hell" ...???

If this is the case, the best way would be to have a script automatically keeping tab on which packages you have installed from each repository, and only updating packages installed from a given repository when running update.... Wouldn't take too much time to write, so please, if anyone is feeling bored?? :)
