English : Repository Configuration

Download addresses, howto on RPM installation and YUM repository configuration for this site.

Other repositories required

Fedora : RPM Fusion
RHEL or CentOS : EPEL

This are the only third repositories I use, I contribute to and I recommend.

1. Download

It is preferable to use YUM to download and install RPM available on this site, however il can be useful to download a RPM for a futher use or for another computer.

Locations :

http://rpms.famillecollet.com/ the repositories (repoview browser).
~~http://rpms.famillecollet.com/SPEC/ spec file used to build the RPM.~~ (not more updated, use the git repo)
http://rpms.famillecollet.com/SRPMS/ sources RPM.
http://github.com/remicollet/remirepo the git repository with all the files needed to build the RPM (spec, patches, ...)

2. Package manager configuration

This repository use the YUM format, it can also be used with APT and SMART. It need to be declared.

Notes :

ppc64 (PowerPC 64 bits) repositories are only open for Fedora 8 and newer.
x86_64 (64 bits) and ppc (PowerPC) repositories are only open for Fedora Core 6 and newer.
For older releases only the i386 (32 bits) repository is open.
2008-05-17 : the Fedora Core 3 repository is closed (it stay available but will not be updated).
2009-04-19 : the Fedora Core 4 and 5 repositories are closed.
2010-10-11 ; the Fedora Core 6 and Fedora 7 repositories are closed.
2011-09-16 ; the Fedora 8 and Fedora 9 repositories are closed.
2011-12-10 : the Fedora 10 repository is closed.
2012-07-02 : the Fedora 11 repository is closed.
2013-02-12 : the Fedora 12 repository is closed.

2.1. YUM automatic configuration

The simplest way is to install the remi-release package which provides the repository configuration for YUM and the GPG key used to sign the RPM.

Fedora 19 i386 or x86_64

wget http://rpms.famillecollet.com/remi-release-19.rpm
yum install remi-release-19.rpm

Fedora 18 i386 or x86_64

rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/remi-release-18.rpm

Fedora 17 i386 or x86_64

rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/remi-release-17.rpm

Fedora 16 i386 or x86_64

rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/remi-release-16.rpm

Fedora 15 i386 or x86_64

rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/remi-release-15.rpm

Fedora 14 i386 or x86_64

rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/remi-release-14.rpm

Fedora 13 i386 or x86_64

rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/remi-release-13.rpm

Enterprise Linux 6 (with EPEL)

wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
wget http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-6.rpm
rpm -Uvh remi-release-6*.rpm epel-release-6*.rpm

Enterprise Linux 5 (with EPEL)

wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
wget http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-5.rpm
rpm -Uvh remi-release-5*.rpm epel-release-5*.rpm

Enterprise Linux 4 (with EPEL)

wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/4/i386/epel-release-4-10.noarch.rpm
wget http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-4.rpm
rpm -Uvh remi-release-4*.rpm epel-release-4*.rpm

2.2. APT configuration

As for YUM, install the automatic configuration package. To enable the repository, you need to uncomment, in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/remi.list file, the line :

repomd http://rpms.famillecollet.com/ fc$(VERSION).$(ARCH)

2.3. SMART configuration

As for YUM, install the automatic configuration package. To enable the repository, you have to select it in the Edition / Channel menu.

2.3. YUM manual configuration

You just have to download the repository file configuration and to save it in the appropriate direcotry.

Fedora :

su -
cd /etc/yum.repos.d
wget http://rpms.famillecollet.com/fedora/remi.repo

Enterprise Linux (RHEL, CentOS) :

su -
cd /etc/yum.repos.d
wget http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi.repo

This file provides configuration for remi and remi-test repositories.

Notice : the repository is not enabled on install (enabled=0). You need to enable it when you need it, for example :

yum --enablerepo=remi install firefox-langpack-fr

3. Compatibility with other repositories

On Fedora, available RPM mainly use dependencies from fedora, and updates repositories, sometime from Rpmfusion.

On Redhat and CentOS dépendencies are in main repositories and in EPEL. I really discourage you from using Rpmforge (well known conflicts with EPEL).

Exceptions are explained on the blog article of each RPM.

4. Remi's signature Installation (GPG Key)

This step is not required if you use a package manager (Yum of Apt).

The RPM validity check requires my key to be imported on your system before use. Download This GPG key and install it with :

rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY-remi

YUM will propose you to automatic install it on first installation of a RPM from my repository.

You can list the installed key with :

rpm -q gpg-pubkey --qf "%{summary} ->%{version}-%{release}\n"

My old key fingerprint was : 00f97f56-4267cb5c

My new key fingerprint is : 00f97f56-467e318a

5. Support

Use the Forums or the #remirepo IRC channel on freenode.

Thanks [Merci!!!] for building this together, I have no idea how much time it has saved me, but I feel like it's quite a bit, since compiling mysql sucks, and compiling mysql on centos4 sucks even more :)

2. Le mercredi 15 avril 2009, 15:30 par Gordon

Thank you so much, Remi. I am still using FC4 on a (very) old P III 550 MHz machine. Now I have Firefox 3.0.8 running just fine. Remarkable!
Merci! Merci!

Dear Remi,
Thank you very, very much for your work!!!
I am still using Centos 4.x for my server with 100+ sites and yours is the most simple way to install PHP5.3 on this planet!!!
Thank you again!

5. Le mercredi 23 septembre 2009, 15:02 par thosteg

Thanks alot! Saved me the time to try to installl php5.3 manually!

6. Le jeudi 15 octobre 2009, 12:09 par moriarty

Hi Remi, any chance you can upgrade php-mhash from 5.2.10 to 5.3.0...? (RHE5) Thanks a lot in advance, your work is much appreciated!

7. Le jeudi 15 octobre 2009, 16:59 par Remi

@moriarty

The answer is in the entry about PHP 5.3.0 : mhash fonctions are no more maintained upstream.

And forums are a better place to ask such questions.

P.S. as this comment as no link with the page subject, it will be put offline soon.

Hello,

Thank you so much for this wonderful repository. We use it all the time to obtain the latest packages.

I have a request: we use Q4M, a very excellent queueing engine built on top of MySQL. The current
binary of Q4M is only built against MySQL 5.1.42. Since REMI upgraded your mysql to 5.1.44, we cannot deploy Q4M anymore. Is there a way you can make the older version of the MySQL (5.1.42) and related packages available in your archive? It would be a fantastic help. Below are the packages that we need:

mysql
mysql-devel
mysql-server
php
php-mysql
perl-DBD-MySQL

Thank you very much!!
Naveen.

9. Le mardi 16 mars 2010, 06:14 par Remi

@Naveen : please ask on the forum but don't forget to give all needed informations (distro, version, arch).

I, could upload the needed packages in the archive folder.

Thanx man!

Solves a lot of my problems!!!!

Great work!! :D

Hi Remi - thanks for your hard work maintaining this website!

Under clause 2.3 CentOS I think your code should be:
"yum --enablerepo remi install firefox-langpack-fr"

Currently you have:
"yum --enable remi install firefox-langpack-fr"

Kind regards, Jason

13. Le jeudi 5 août 2010, 13:45 par Remi

@JB : you're right.

Was ok in the french page (forget to update this translation). Now it's fixed.

14. Le jeudi 7 octobre 2010, 14:09 par atrandafir

I have finally updated my php to version 5.3 from this repository!

Many thanks!

15. Le mercredi 9 mars 2011, 11:33 par mig10k

when I try to install php-captchaphp i get missing /usr/share/fonts/dejavu
I can't find dejavu-fonts in base repo and epel.
where can I get it, I would not want to mix more repos in the systems.

16. Le mercredi 9 mars 2011, 20:41 par Remi

@mig10k : please use the forums instead of comments for such question.

Please try again, should be fixed now.

17. Le lundi 14 mars 2011, 03:48 par mig10k

thank you!

Hi,

Getting a 404 error when trying to list packages. Is this related to the new server transition?
HTTP Error 404 : http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enter...

thanks,
Yossi

19. Le mardi 5 avril 2011, 10:23 par Remi

@Yossi : 2011.02 is not a valid Redhat / Centos (or other clones) distribution.

It seems you are using another distro (Mandriva ?), my repository is not designed to work with.

20. Le mercredi 13 avril 2011, 21:52 par omelette

Tres bon et merci Remi!

Hi, Just upgraded mysqld to 5.5. It has a notice Your PHP MySQL library version 5.1.56 differs from your MySQL server version 5.5.11. This may cause unpredictable behavior.Is this critical?
