Maybe so, but I just installed a fresh copy of CentOS 5.2 x86_64 (on Q6600
hardware) expressly to try this out, updated the OS as indicated, added
the oscar repo as indicated, and while the
"yum install oscar-base yume packman orm"
worked as advertised, proving the viabilty of the repo file just
added, and while the contents of /etc/oscar/oscar.conf look fine,
"oscar-config --bootstrap"
that is the next step fails immediately (can't locate package
perl-AppConfig). Yumming perl-AppConfig manually is trivial (I get
version 1.56-8.0.el5). Rerunning the bootstrap, it complains AppConfig is
already installed, ("Nothing to do."), then screams "impossible to get
default repository for centos-5-x86_64" and dies.
I presume this was working before being "released"?
