[users] Is repoforge really non-conflicting with CentOS base repo?

[Christian Garling]

Hi there,

at wiki.centos.org you can read:

"The default RPMforge repository does not replace official CentOS base
packages."

But in my opinion it does. For example nagios-nrpe and nagios-plugins
will be available in CentOS base and in RPMForge repo. So a package from
base will be replaced.

Am I wrong or is the sentence above false?

Regards, Christian

The intention is certainly true that rpmforge (repoforge) aims not to
conflict with packages in the base distro.

yum list nagios\*

doesn't return anything for me on el5 nor el6 (since you don't state
which you are referring to).

Please show where nagios packages are in the base distribution.

I think he has installed EPEL?

Yes we have, I think I was wrong with nagios packages in base. I have
seen packages with .rf prefix and some without, I thought they were from
the base repo, but I think they are from EPEL.

repo, but I think they are from EPEL.

They are. I wrote the last EPEL update for that package, which is
actually now available as nagios-3.5.0. (Just update the version
number and tarball, it's a trivially easy update.

I've also published the tools for the naglite3 package, at
https://github.com/nkadel/naglite3-1.6-srpm, and would love to get
them into Repoforge.....

Nico,
We provide 3.2.3 version. Is the upgrade to 3.5.0 possible? If so, I can
bump the version.

3.5.0 is even more broken than 3.4.x considering various reports, and
contains some changes which might affect all neb modules.
i wouldn't recommend bumping the package unless it's considered safe &
tested.
it's also likely that you need to rework the spec file to make it
actually build.
