[users] Problem installing subversion on RHEL5

[Jim McCaskey]

Hello all,

I'm having problems installing subversion on RHEL5 using rpmforge. I apologize if this is the wrong list for this; please point me in the right direction if it is.

I am running RHEL5, specifically:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.5 (Tikanga)

So, I installed rpmforge by following the instructions with these two commands:

wget http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.1-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm
rpm -Uhv rpmforge-release-0.5.1-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm

I then modified /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmforge.repo and set enabled=1 to enabled=0.

I then tried this:

[root at foo ~]# yum --enablerepo=rpmforge --disablerepo=rhel-x86_64-server-5 install subversion mod_dav_svn
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security
Setting up Install Process
No package subversion available.
No package mod_dav_svn available.
Nothing to do

If I do that without the --disablerepo, it will install subversion and mod_dav_svn from redhat, but it's an old 1.4.2 version. If I set enabled back to 1 and pull off all the --*repo's it still try's to pull from RHN.

Certainly I'm doing something simple wrong. Any pointers?

Jim,

the subversion packages have moved to the new "rpmforge-extras" repo, if I remember correctly. please try adding "rpmforge-extras" to your --enablerepo list and let us know if that resolves the issue.

Steve,

Thanks for the reply. That got me pointed in the right direction. I'm going to write down what happened for the next poor sap. :)

Using the instructions here:

http://rpmrepo.org/RPMforge/Using

That got me an out of date rpmforge-release module (0.5.1-1.el5.rf). I was able to update to the latest (0.5.2-2.el5.rf) using:

yum --enablerepo=rpmforge update rpmforge-release

Unfortunately rpmforge-extras still did not work. I then noticed that I had a rpmforge.repo.rpmnew in /etc/yum.repos.d. I was able to update rpmforge.repo from this. In fact I just overwrote what I had and reset enabled = 0.
yum --enablerepo=rpmforge-extras --disablerepo=rhel-x86_64-server-5 install subversion mod_dav_svn

And it worked like a champ.

Thanks for the help!
