How do we add new applications to yum ?

The v1.1.2 of OOo for PPC is now available, but it is not available from the yum database. How can I add it ?

same thing applies for gcc, VDL stays with 3.2.2-2a, when 3.3.3 is available
VDL has mozilla 1.2.1 when 1.8a is now available

Your suppose to do something like yum install mozilla(don't know if it'll update with that name.)

But I have yet to get it to work, as I keep getting this error

IOError: [Errno 104] Connection reset by peer

What does your /etc/yum.conf look like, I edited mines to :

Code: Select all

[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest

[base]
name=Yellow Dog Linux 3.0 base
baseurl=http://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yellowdog/yum/3.0/RPMS.main/

[updates]
name=Yellow Dog Linux 3.0 updates
baseurl=http://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yellowdog/yum/3.0/RPMS.updates/

[updates301]
name=Yellow Dog Linux 3.0.1 updates
baseurl=ftp://ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/yellowdog/yum/3.0.1/update/

[moreupdates]
name=mol updates
baseurl=http://ydl.osuosl.org/yum/3.0.1/update/


So, I'm doing everything from an RPM
http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/ ... 0/mozilla/

It's really simple, just one command.

Try running:

Code: Select all

rpm -ivh http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/yellowdog/3.0/mozilla/mozilla-1.6-1.0.yd3.fr.ppc.rpm

It's not the most upto date version, but it's better then the one YDL shipped with.
