2. The Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton evidently also has a=20
RHEL clone, currently RHEL 6.1. URL: http://puias.math.ias.edu/
The distro states: Custom Red Hat=AE Distribution and Mirror. A project=20
of members of the computing staff of Princeton University and the=20
Institute for Advanced Study.
Introduction
This project was started long before CentOS or other projects were=20
available. Even if you do not install the core distribution, the Addons,=20
Computational and Unsupported repositories may be of use to you.
End quote.
As with SL, PUIAS evidently has professional institutional support,=20
unlike say CentOS or the DAG repository. I am not complaining about the=20
quality of either CentOS or DAG, but an institutional professional=20
staffing commitment often leads to a professional result, particularly=20
when done by a professional entity (e.g., Fermilab/CERN or the Institute=20
for Advanced Study).
I found PUIAS because I was looking for a package that I had built from=20
source on CentOS from the actual tar.gz source (not a RPM) from the=20
source download site and I currently have neither my personal time nor=20
staff to go down that path right now. If I can find a prebuilt RPM,=20
this would be much easier. The PUIAS RPM for what I need generates a=20
large number of dependencies for other utilities not included in the=20
base SL repository but present on PUIAS, and it is likely that each of=20
these RPMs calls for yet more dependencies.
How does one add, say, PUIAS as a repository search path with precedence=20
being given to SL over PUIAS except as needed? A simple answer such as=20
"import a key" or "install a XML repodata file" are not sufficient=20
unlike using RPM to install a rpm file -- where (what directory/file)=20
and how (what commands) specifically are needed to accomplish this task?=20
Note that PUIAS packages end with el6.x86_64.rpm as a RHEL 6 X86-64=20
package should.

I installed SL6 (i386) tonight in a virtual machine for testing and I
decided to run a yum update and was surprised that it failed because it
was having trouble contacting the repos. Below is a snippet of what I'm
talking about. What repos are valid and why am I seeing this?
