Hi all, I installed BackupPC on one of my Centos 5.4-machines following the wiki at http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/BackupPC#head-725ed151d366bcf182cea92f765c373900cfc9dc, where BackupPC is installed from the c5-testing repo.
r...@mach012 ~/ [0]# rpm -qa backuppc
backuppc-3.1.0-1.el5.centos
r...@mach012 ~/ [0]#
Seeing how there's been some updates to BackupPC in the near past, I thought
I'd run a yum update to get the updated package. That didn't work. So I
searched pbone.net for a BackupPC package on CentOS5 but didn't find any.
Doing the same search for RHEL5 gave me two packages (one for i386 and one for
x86_64); v3.1.0-5.
Looking more closely I saw that the RHEL5-packages were from epel, a
repo one
maybe shouldn't choose as a primary repo for ones CentOS-systems if you can
help it. At least that's the impression I got from the various posts to this
list.
I thought all packages available from the prominent American upstream provider
got a treatment from the CentOS crew? Am I wrong or am I missing something
really basic, or some part of the CentOS philosophy here? Or isn't BackupPC a
package worthy of being CentOSified? 8-)
Thanks.
