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.
