Hi Guys,

so here http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/sc...64/rh/httpd24/ we have pkgs with both names (httpd24 & httpd24-httpd).
Does anyone know what the difference is, I can't seem to find it in google ?

Note that this is a different qn to https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1439113 which asks about the difference between httpd & httpd24 & supplies the answer (former is std base repo version, latter is from Software Collections).

I am definitely going to need an 'uptodate' version that supplies httpd24-httpd-mmn = 20120211x8664 for use with php70 on RHEL/Centos v7.

It looks like the long name one is the one I need see eg https://centos.pkgs.org/7/centos-scl...86_64.rpm.html, although I'd like to know what 'Provides' actually means on that page.

Does it mean 'httpd24-httpd-mmn = 20120211x8664 ' is built into the pkg as opposed to being a requirement - I can't seem to see it as a separate pkg but I don't usually have to dig this deep ...

Any help gratefully received.

'httpd24', provides.log :
scl-package(httpd24)
httpd24 = 1.1-18.el7
httpd24(x86-64) = 1.1-18.el7
.... requires.log :
httpd24-runtime
httpd24-httpd
... Files: None, is a meta package.

'httpd24-httpd', provides.log :
httpd24-mod_dav = 2.4.25-9.el7
httpd24-httpd-suexec = 2.4.25-9.el7
httpd24-httpd-mmn = 20120211
httpd24-httpd-mmn = 20120211x8664
httpd24-httpd = 2.4.25-9.el7
httpd24-httpd(x86-64) = 2.4.25-9.el7
... Files : ls -R | wc → 578 527 7905

Thanks for that- I've been away, & then very busy when I got back - hence the delay.

So, if I need " httpd24-httpd-mmn = 20120211x8664", I need to install "httpd24-1.1-18.el7.x86_64.rpm" and httpd24-httpd-2.4.27-8.el7.x86_64.rpm" ?
Actually, I note that on https://centos.pkgs.org/7/centos-scl...86_64.rpm.html it says "Testing" for .27, so maybe I should go with httpd24-httpd-2.4.25-9.el7.x86_64.rpm instead?

Just to clarify; we don't install from external repos, we collect the pkgs we need and then put them in our internal repos and install from there, so i need to know which pkgs I need to collect.
