Use yum to install package.
 

Hi, all

If I need to install some package via yum, how can I know if this package is provided by yum?

I mean can I learn that what package list yum support?

Thanks,

visit

http://rpm.livna.org
and http://freshrpms.net

You'll learn alot about it.

important commands are

yum update
yum upgrade
yum install
yum remove
yum search

If you mean that you want to know what packages are available to install through yum, then you need to use the list option e.g.
to search for a specific package, you can do something like

Thanks, odcheck and reddazz. Thanks for your reply.


To reddazz:

If I got following:
then it means I can't install fcitx or bugzilla via yum. Am I right?

Yes, that means that those packages are not available in the repos that you have setup on your system.

Then if I really wanna install above package, how can I? Is it a easy way for me to modify the repos?

as I already said:
visit:

http://rpm.livna.org
and http://freshrpms.net

at them to the /etc/yum.repos.d

at the both above you can just click on them and they will install via rpm into /etc/yum.repos.d/ automatically

then there is
atrpms which is also a good source.

Thanks, odcheck.

Do you mean in the package installation, centos5 corresponding to Fedora 7 (Moonshine)?

However, when I check the package list of http://moonshine.freshrpms.net/, I didn't find tomcat, bugzilla or fcitx and so on which I'm interested in.

Lol... you never said something that you're using CentOS.

RHEL4 should operate with CentOS
I use CentOS as well with dag.wieers should be rpmforge.

Hey, odcheck

Thanks for help,

I used"yum update", and then it seems that I can install fcitx. But I'm not so sure about how to use it, I'm trying to ask some chinese guy to help. :D
