CentOS 5

[piga]

My brother has installed CentOS 5 on his computer. I want to get it working with the Fedora Yum repository. How is this done?

I wouldn't use fedora packages with CentOS


Try using the karan repo instead

http://centos.karan.org/

Hi,

There is also EPEL

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL

[piga]

When I try to get packages from EPEL I get "Error checking package signatures". Any suggestions?

Karan does the same thing BTW

Edit: All package s in Yum does ths now

Hi,

If you install the EPEL release package, yum would prompt you for importing the gpg signature. Otherwise you can import it manually using the rpm command. The GPG keys are located in /etc/pki/rpm-gpg folder.

# rpm --import </path/gpgkey>

For Karan try

su
gedit /etc/yum.repos.d/kb-centos-extras.repo

and add

# All new packages are now released to the testing repository first
# and only moved into Stable after a period of time
# Note: The testing repository is disabled by default

[kbs-CentOS-Extras]
name=CentOS.Karan.Org-EL$releasever - Stable
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://centos.karan.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-karan.org.txt
enabled=0
baseurl=http://centos.karan.org/el$releasever/extras/stable/$basearch/RPMS/

[kbs-CentOS-Testing]
name=CentOS.Karan.Org-EL$releasever - Testing
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://centos.karan.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-karan.org.txt
enabled=1
baseurl=http://centos.karan.org/el$releasever/extras/testing/$basearch/RPMS/

Then run

su -
rpm --import http://centos.karan.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-karan.org.txt
