Re: [Ius-community] problem downloading IUS packages
Actually, epel-release provides the GPG Key which is missing (same for ius-release and the IUS GPG key). The best way to setup IUS/EPEL is to manually pull down the RPMs from the repo and install them [1]. Then you can install the rest via Yum (as the GPG keys and Yum repos will be setup). The packages can be downloaded from the official upstream mirror [2]. Please let me know if that doesn't work for you.

Re: [Ius-community] Installing python26
On Jan 27, 2011, at 6:17 PM, Tim Soderstrom wrote: Hi Garey! I could be wrong, but I believe Python 2.6 is designed to be side-by-side. You don't want to go ripping out the RHEL version of Python since that could break a ton of things (most notably 'yum'). Thus you should just be able to do something like 'yum install python26' and be good to go. Again, I could be wrong since I haven't done that myself but I think that's how IUS is setup. Absolutely right. Python is one of those things that you never want to muck with. For that reason it is a side-by-side parallel install. Additionally, python26 was accepted into EPEL 5 and has been EOL'd from IUS. Though, because IUS relies on EPEL its all the same if you're subscribed to both: $ sudo yum install python26 You can then access it as: $ /usr/bin/python2.6 Let us know if you need help beyond that. --- BJ Dierkes Linux Systems Engineer IV / [RH]acker Infrastructure Services [Development] Rackspace Hosting Hope that helps!

However, when I go to erase the current Python (2.4), yum wants to erase some 396 packages. What is the process I should follow to upgrade the Python, or is it more common to install Python2.6 parallel to the supplied Python? -- This message was sent from Launchpad by Garey Mills (https://launchpad.net/~gmills) using the Contact this team link on the IUS Community Members team page (https://launchpad.net/~ius-community).
