eric
but i wished to have a clear understanding and document the steps so
that they can be used by many others.
what i planned was to download the SRPMS from
http://mirrors.qmailtoaster.com/current/SRPMS/
and then use the same sequence of steps detailed in the install script
http://qmailtoaster.com/distro/centos/cnt5064/cnt5064-install-script.sh
however in the current/SRPMS/ there are multiple files for the same package.
EXAMPLE
clamav-0.98.1-0.qt.src.rpm 08-Apr-2014 15:14
clamav-0.98.4-1.qt.src.rpm 07-Jul-2014 14:43
clamav-0.98.4-2.qt.src.rpm 08-Jul-2014 14:04
comparing with current/CentOS/6/x86_64/ the file that is available for
clamav is clamav-0.98.1-0.qt.el6.x86_64.rpm
so the corresponding SRPMS package for clamav that i should use should
be clamav-0.98.1-0.qt.src.rpm
is my understanding correct ?
thanks
rajesh

version
You want the packages in the /current/ branch of the repo.
The packages in the repo root are legacy, and are no longer maintained
in most cases. I hope to actually remove them from the root at some
point. These *-toaster packages will continue to exist in the /current/
branch though (as they have for quite some time now). In fact, the
*-toaster files in the root are the exact same files that are in
/current/, as they're simply hard links so they don't take up more storage.
The directory entries in the root are only there for backwards
compatibility for some non-standard scripts that some people have in the
wild. For those users please get your scripts changed *now*. I might
remove these root entries any time now.
Thanks.
