*Troy looks through his various yum-conf (from SL 309 through SL 51) and looks
a bit dejected.*
Well ... it looks like this is the one yum repository that I have not remained
consistant, although there were various reasons.
In SL3, in the early days, the file was yum.conf.flash, and yet the repository
name was [macromedia]. At some point I changed the repository name to [flash]
because macromedia was a bit long, and the flash plugin was all that was in it.
I believe most of SL4 had the repostory file named flash.repo and the
repository called [flash]
SL51 I believe had the file called flash.repo and the repository called [adobe]
And, incase that wasn't confusing enough, at some point, when you updated your
flash-plugin, it also pulled in adobe's attempt to get everyone moved over to
their own repository, and it installed adobe-linux-i386.repo, which had the
repository name [adobe-linux-i386]
So, for the --enablerepo= section, you can put in
--enablerep=macromedia
--enablerepo=flash
--enablerepo=adobe
--enablerepo=adobe-linux-i386
uggg ... I believe this needs to be cleaned up.
I'll start with SL 4.6, since that is still changeable. Any idea's?
Two thoughts I had were to just change what we have to
/etc/yum.repos/adobe.repo and have the repository be called [adobe]
The other thought is to take the adobe part out of our main yum-conf and just
put in adobe's yum rpm. This way people wouldn't be getting two repo's
pointing to the same place if they install adobe's yum rpm later. But if I do
that, I would probably want to make that part of the <office> group or something.
