scarecrow Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 (edited) Just out if interest, what's the equivalent to urpmi in Fedora?!? :P Am figuring out how I can install additional packages. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Open your console or konqueror, and type in man:yum Yum isn't as good as urpmi, which isn't as good as apt/yet, which is worse than Smart, which pales compared to pacman, which... oh well, horses for courses.

ianw1974 Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 OK, cool thanks for that. Currently using Up2date to get the updates, and being bombarded with hundreds of GPG no signatures on the packages. Sigh.....click Yes, again, again, again..... :P I'll check yum out, after I've finished clicking Yes :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlc Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 up2dates going away in fedora so yeah, i'd stop using it :) you can also install yumex a gui Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonEberger Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 yum is so much better. up2date takes forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlc Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 yum is so much better. up2date takes forever. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They tweaked yum some more, rawhide/fc5 is much faster too, So when fc5 comes out it will be that much faster to drive.

jlc Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 np, The downside to yumex is it has to cache every time you open/close/install so it can be very slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 I ditched the up2date and let yum run overnight, which got the downloads, and now I just had to say yes to transaction test, and then it's all installing now. Much better than yes to every package :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aioshin Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 yeah, I run yum update this morning and now I have kde 3.5 on it :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 I'm all up2date (but using yum) :P Sorry about the pun. Bad I know. An off-topic question, anyone know what I use in Red Hat? I tried yum, but I guess they must have something else for the CLI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlc Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Hmm... we could argue about that... My opinion is: every package manager has its strengths and weaknesses. Yep, I've used every package manager know to linux/solaris/bsd and for "ME" I like yum a lot. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aioshin Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 on mandrake (opps.. sorry), though apt-get and yum could be use as alternative package manager, but urpmi still works better.. but on redhat-centos-fedora system, Id like to use both yum and apt-get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
