Red Hat Reds add Yum Epel source

What is an enterprise Linux add-on package (EPEL)?

The Enterprise Linux add-on package (hereinafter referred to as EPEL) is a special interest group created, maintained, and managed for Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and its derivative distributions (such as CentOS, Scientific Linux, Oracle Enterprise Linux) is a high-quality add-on package project.

EPEL packages typically do not conflict with packages in the official Linux source, or replace files with each other. The EPEL project is basically consistent with Fedora and includes a complete build system, upgrade manager, Image Manager, and more.

How do I get the EPEL software package?

The EPEL contains a package called ' Epel-release ' that contains the GPG key and source information for the EPEL source. You can install it to your enterprise Linux distribution via Yum. In addition to the epel-release source, there is a source called ' epel-testing ', which contains the latest test package, its version is new but the installation is risky, please do it yourself.

In order to make a Epel source, learned a called program lock East, the following will be explained

Build Epel source as follows:

1. The system I'm using is Red Hat 6.

2. I'll start with Rpm-qa | grep Epel to see if a Epel RPM package is installed.

I didn't pretend at first, so I wget a

wget http://mirrors.ustc.edu.cn/fedora/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

or Http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL#How_can_I_use_these_extra_packages.3F here to download

3. Installing epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

[[email protected] mnt]# rpm -ivh epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
warning: epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID 0608b895: NOKEY
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
        package epel-release-6-8.noarch is already installed
[[email protected] mnt]#

Because I installed it before.

4. After installation we will see two configuration files in/etc/yum.repos.d/, Epel.repo and Epel-testing.repo

Rhel-source.repo.bak This file is the local yum I did before I backed up the next

[Email protected] mnt]# Ls/etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo Epel-testing.repo Rhel-source.repo.bak

5. It's basically over here.

In the Epel.repo configuration file, the default address is mirrorlist=, but we want to use baseurl=, all we have to manually change, we yum repolist see 650) this.width=650; "Title=" QQ picture 20150729223406.jpg "alt=" wkiol1w45tig_v_vaamvojot-gc369.jpg "src=" http://s3.51cto.com/wyfs02/M00/70/7F/ Wkiol1w45tig_v_vaamvojot-gc369.jpg "/>

This mistake, I was engaged for a long while did not get out, the results asked the next Daniel to remove/var/run/yun.pid, the reason is the above I mentioned the program lock, another program locked the Yum waiting to quit, the result I deleted really still good

Here is the configuration file content of my Epel.repo

[[email protected] mnt]# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo
