tuxad yum package repository for RHEL / CentOS 5 x86_64
About
The tuxad repository contains some special packages and some "updates" for RHEL / CentOS 5.
News
The tuxad repository is now also available for x86_64 architecture.
The optional openssl1 package which provides modern ciphers and protocols for RHEL 5 was updated (based on the latest RHEL 6 package).
The openssl1-devel package got some mods to fix bugs when compiling some packages which use openssl - this enhances the compatibility with 0.98.
The list of packages available for x86_64 including some against openssl1 re-compiled RHEL server packages like Apache or postfix:

For security reasons some server software have been explicitely excluded in the repo file: dovecot httpd postfix vsftpd. If you actually want to use these openssl1 enabled packages then you must remove the exclude(s) or use --disableexcludes on the command line.
Install / use the custom RHEL 5 repository
Install the repository configuration and GPG key:
rpm -i http://www.tuxad.de/repo/5/tuxad.rpm
Once you have done this you might be able to install i.e. openssl1 by
yum install openssl1
The GPG key file RPM-GPG-KEY-TUXAD-A95F6F37 will be placed in /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/ and it will be automatically imported on your first "yum install" from this repo.
