1.2. RPMforge

You can find a complete listing of the RPMforge package packages at http://dag.wieers.com/packages/

Download the rpmforge-release package. Choose one of the two links below, selecting to match your host's architecture. If you are unsure of which one to use you can check your architecture with the command uname -i

• i386 http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.1-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm

• x86_64 http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.1-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm

The preferred rpmforge-release package to retrieve and to install in order to enable that repository is one of the two listed above.

Install DAG's GPG key

rpm --import http://apt.sw.be/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt

Verify the package you have downloaded

rpm -K rpmforge-release-0.5.1-1.el5.rf.*.rpm

 Security warning: The rpmforge-release package imports GPG keys into your RPM database. As long as you have verified the md5sum of the key injection package, and trust Dag, et al., then it should be as safe as your trust of them extends.

Install the package

rpm -i rpmforge-release-0.5.1-1.el5.rf.*.rpm

This will add a yum repository config file and import the appropriate GPG keys. At this point, you can set the priority of the RPMForge repository, and also of the CentOS repositories if you have not done so yet.

Test with this command:

yum check-update

It should output these two lines:

Loading "priorities" plugin
...
76 packages excluded due to repository priority protections

The number above may differ, but there should be several packages shown as being excluded.

If so then it looks like things are working so try installing something like this

yum install mplayer
