Hello,
I am a bit confused with yum-conf versus yum-conf-5x which I used to
use, by doing :
yum -y shell yum-5x
with yum-5x containing :
erase yum-conf
install yum-conf-5x
run
exit
So I have a few questions about that.
It seems I cannot remove any more yum-conf as it contains other
repos.
Is it OK to just disable sl-security.repo and enable
sl5x-security.repo ?
I also noticed that there is no longer [sl-security-jdk] to disable
gpgcheck for jdk, is it normal ?
My previous adobe.repo have been renamed but the new yum-conf-adobe
has not been installed and seems to be empty.
Thanks for your help.
Hello,
With SL 5.9 there have been a few changes. The release notes are a good
reference but here are the highlights relevant to your questions:
- The yum-conf-5x package can now be installed along with yum-conf
unlike previous versions of SL5. This is the same behavior as SL6.
- You should be ok to disable the sl-security repo so long as you
leave sl5x-security enabled.
- The closed source java package was not added to SL5.9 as it is going
end of life at the end of this month. SL6 has not never featured the
closed source package.
- The yum-conf-adobe package depends on the adobe-release package
provided by adobe. It should have been loaded for you automatically.
This seems like you hit a bug. If you install yum-conf-adobe you should
be fine.
