I have no idea why. I have complained to Redhat about this fact but my guess is they don't have enough people to watch EPEL packages. In fact, the version of FreeIPMI in RHEL6 is the same version as it was in RHEL5. > Are there any redhat rpm spec files available to create an binary rpm. The tar.gz distributed by on the main website has a rpm spec file within it. So with luck a rpmbuild -ta freeipmi-X.Y.Z.tar.gz should build you a set of RPMs. Al > People are using old versions of freeipmi because that is what is currently > available in EPEL. > > http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL > > yum install freeipmi > Loaded plugins: fastestmirror > Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile > * base: bay.uchicago.edu > * extras: mirrors.easynews.com > * updates: centos.icyboards.com > Setting up Install Process > Resolving Dependencies > --> Running transaction check > ---> Package freeipmi.x86_64 0:0.7.16-3.el6 will be installed > --> Finished Dependency Resolution > > Dependencies Resolved > > ================================================================================================================================================================================================================= > Package Arch > Version > Repository Size > ================================================================================================================================================================================================================= > Installing: > freeipmi x86_64 > 0.7.16-3.el6 > base 1.0 M > > Transaction Summary > ================================================================================================================================================================================================================= > Install 1 Package(s) > > > > Corey Osman > _______________________________________________ > Freeipmi-devel mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freeipmi-devel -- Albert Chu [email protected] Computer Scientist High Performance Systems Division Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory _______________________________________________ Freeipmi-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freeipmi-devel _______________________________________________ Freeipmi-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freeipmi-devel
