ClearFoundation

Hi everyone,

I've decided to turn my FTP 'store' into a YUM repo, to make it more convenient for users to download, and more importantly stay up to date with community package version updates. This will only be relevant to version 5.2 as the new build system with 6.0 will permit community RPM's to be added automatically

It also saves me from having to amend download instructions every time an update is made on many threads

To that end the servers will sync up tonight (in about an hour or so), and some of the old download links / instructions will be wrong. By this time tomorrow I should have corrected these - but please be patient in the mean time

To install the repo first install the public key (yes all RPM's will now be signed):-

Then install the release RPM (by default the 'timb' and 'timb-testing' repo's will be disabled)


You can then install an app or RPM using a single one liner such as

OR upgrade to a newer version by running


For those that like to do it manually - you can still find all the RPM's here
download.clearfoundation.com/community/timb80/repo/clearos/5.2/
ftp://timburgess.net/repo/clearos/5.2/

Enjoy! feedback always welcome

Thank you for this Tim

I for one will sertainly use it at some point.

Just need a new PSU first

Thanks Again

Tim,
I've added your repo and tried an update to see what happens. It is not the safest thing to do but I was going to abort it before it did the update. It threw one error:

Also, are you going to put your ethernet drivers here?

[edit]
I see your drivers have moved drivers. I just had none to update!

Hi Nick, thanks for trying it out! I was going to move the Elrepo-kmod RPM's to the repo, as it makes it easier to get updates

It appears you have sqlite-devel already installed, which is preventing sqlite from being upgraded (the update is required for MiniDLNA)?. You can proceed by removing sqlite-devel. Where possible I would recommend specifying specific packages to upgrade rather so that it doesn't pull in anything you don't actually want

Thanks. I was not trying to update. I was really seeing if it suggested updating anything relevant and I agree with specifying packages. I've absolutely no idea why I have sqlite-devel installed - perhaps a leftover from something like Roundcube which I dropped ages ago. I'll get rid of it sometime.

verry verry nice Tim.
(been pulling stuff of your server over time)

This makes me wonder though, shouldn`t Clear offer some space to park these repositories? At least the ones with a good installation guide for its custoumers?

Tim, this looks very interesting.

Respect for what you are doing. Really cool you write / packaging your apps!

Thank you.

Hi Tim,
Is there any chance you can re-insert the folder ftp://download.clearfoundation.com/community/timb80/elrepo-kmod/ and in it put the same README-IMPROTANT.txt file? In all my relevant posts I have linked to that folder and those links now fail.
Nick

Hi Nick, yes no problem - i'll create a link for the elrepo-kmod directory that points to the new location. This way the links will work The servers should sync up tonight (UK time)
