Rhel and his derivative distributions such as CentOS, Scientific Linux in order to stabilize, the official RPM repository provided RPM package is often very lag, of course, this is understandable, after all, this is the server version, security and stability is the focus, The official RPM repository provided by the RPM package is not rich enough, many times need to compile themselves that too hard, and epel just can solve both aspects of the problem.

What is Epel?

The full name of Epel is called Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux. 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. After the Epel is loaded, it is equivalent to adding a third-party source.

If you know rpmfusion.org, it is appropriate to compare rpmfusion, rpmfusion mainly for the desktop distribution to provide a large number of RPM packages, and Epel for the server version provides a large number of RPM packages, and most of the RPM package in the official It is not found in the repository.

Another feature is that most RPM packages are newer than the official repository RPM package, such as the Php,rhel I installed on CentOS in the previous days for stability 5.1.6 version, I remember this is the first half of last year's version, and PHP The latest version has reached 5.3.2, if the phpMyAdmin is installed on the basis of php5.1.6, it will prompt PHP version is too low, this time, the newer PHP rpm provided in Epel can be handy.
