CentOS Installation Epel Source

With 163 of the source, but I found that the source inside, there is no libmcrypt libmcrypt-devel these two packages, loaded PHP extension mcrypt, but also use the two packages, so I manually installed Libmcrypt package, but give me the feeling is 163 source of the package is not complete. Later a friend told me to use the Epel, after the feeling is very cool.

One, what is Epel

EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) from Fedora Project is right for you if you want to get RHEL's high-quality, high-performance, high-reliability, and easy-to-use (key to free) package update functionality. EPEL (Http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) is a project built by the Fedora community to deliver high-quality software packages for RHEL and derivative distributions such as CentOS, scientific Linux, and more.

Second, the use of experience

1, do not have to change the original Yum source, after installation will produce new repo

2,epel will have a lot of source address, if one down, will go to another under

http://mirror.xfes.ru/fedora-epel/6/x86_64/ibus-table-chinese-scj-1.3.4-1.el6.noarch.rpm: [Errno 14 ] Pycurl ERROR 6-""Trying other mirror.http://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/fedora/epel/6/x86_64/ IBUS-TABLE-CHINESE-SCJ-1.3.4-1.EL6.NOARCH.RPM: [Errno] Pycurl ERROR 6-""Trying other mirror.http: // repo.boun.edu.tr/epel/6/x86_64/ibus-table-chinese-scj-1.3.4-1.el6.noarch.rpm: [Errno] PYCURL ERROR 6-"" KJs  ... 

3, if the download package is not complete at the time of update, it will not be installed. In that case, the dependency can take care.

Three, install EPEL,CENTOS6 Select 6, 5 on select 5
