yum for Debian -------------- Yum requires a working rpm installation. By default the rpm package does not create a completely working one lest beginners shoot themselves in the foot. You should: - mkdir /var/lib/rpm - rpm --initdb prior to using yum. Be aware that the only usage of yum in Debian is to perform chroot (Xen, UML) of Fedora, RHEL, CentOS, etc. installs. We, at GPLHost, use a specific bootstrap script for doing this with CentOS. Such script is shipped with DTC-Xen (also in Debian). This package was not, is not, and will never be, a replacement for apt-get when using Debian or any other .deb based distribution. So please, do NOT ask about it, or do not send any bug entry for this, or you'll get flamed for not reading the README.Debian as anyone should. -- Thomas Goirand Sat, 26 Dec 2009 13:05:37 +0800
