The ATrpms repository provides many bleeding edge software packages so if you have a development server where you install new apps this repo can be very useful. The instructions are not 100% clear about how to install this repository on CentOS Linux which would also be the same on RedHat Linux but not on Fedora Linux. Anyhow the example used on the ATrpms site relates to Fedora so the repo file needs to be modified to work on CentOS as noted below.
You will need to create a atrpms.repo file in the /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory on your CentOS Linux server. Below we show the text for the example provided on the site and then below that we show the one character that should be replaced by two other characters.
Example .repo File For Fedora Linux Displayed On ATrpms Web Site:
- [atrpms]
- name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - ATrpms
- baseurl=http://dl.atrpms.net/f$releasever-$basearch/atrpms/stable
- gpgkey=http://ATrpms.net/RPM-GPG-KEY.atrpms
- gpgcheck=1
Notice the “f” before $releasever on the baseurl line. I believe that represents Fedora and should be replaced by “el” which represents Enterprise Linux as shown in the below example.
Modified ATrpms .repo File To Be Used On CentOS Linux:
- [atrpms]
- name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - ATrpms
- baseurl=http://dl.atrpms.net/el$releasever-$basearch/atrpms/stable
- gpgkey=http://ATrpms.net/RPM-GPG-KEY.atrpms
- gpgcheck=1
After creating the .repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d/ you should also install the GPG key for the repo using the below command.
Install ATrpms GPG Key On CentOS Linux:
- rpm --import http://packages.atrpms.net/RPM-GPG-KEY.atrpms
You should now be able to start using the ATrpms repository on your CentOS Linux server/computer.
