Red Hat Premium Howto

This howto will help you setup your Red Hat system to use the Seecr repository.

Adding the repository

We have created a package which will add the Seecr repository to your yum repository list. Please download seecr-repo-premium-5-0.noarch.rpm and install it. For security reasons check that md5sum of this is 57d8cd814445c1e182d73cb6f69183f7

$ wget -q http://repository.seecr.nl/redhat/premium/seecr-repo-premium-5-0.noarch.rpm
$ md5sum seecr-repo-premium-5-0.noarch.rpm
57d8cd814445c1e182d73cb6f69183f7 seecr-repo-premium-5-0.noarch.rpm
$ rpm --install seecr-repo-premium-5-0.noarch.rpm

Please add or change the option showdupesfromrepos=1 in your /etc/yum.conf file. This will tell yum to show duplicate packages with the same name, which can be convenient to show different versions of the same package.

Add free repository

The premium repository only contains alternative versions or enhancements to packages available in the free repository. Therefor you'll need to add the free repository also. For more information on howto install the free repository see the Red Hat Free repository howto.

Signed packages

The packages in the repository are signed using Seek You Too's GPG key 4A442706. More information on this key can be found at a public pgp keyserver.

The key fingerprint is

7A72 338A 2DE0 1E26 4913  4E28 7FDA C785 4A44 2706
Seek You Too B.V. <info@cq2.org>

Verification

To verify that the cq2-package is installed you can ask rpm for information on this key. It should state that it is from Seek You Too.

rpm -qi gpg-pubkey-4a442706

The repository is now added to your Red Hat installation. Verify by doing something like:

yum makecache
yum search meresco

This should result in finding a package called meresco-components3.4-1-0.rhel5.noarch. To install the meresco components package type:

yum install meresco-components3.4

Please validate your installation using the Installation Validation Procedure.
