Accessing our Yum Repositories

Subscribing to the IUS Yum Repository

Subscribing to the IUS Community repositories is as easy as installing an RPM package.  Within the repo are two packages called ‘epel-release’, and ‘ius-release’.  The packages configure your system to use the Fedora EPEL and IUS Community repositories, as well as installs the GPG keys necessary to validate signed packages of both.

Note: IUS Packages replace stock RHEL packages, however they do not obsolete them.  Meaning, you can’t just ‘yum upgrade’ and get our packages… you need to first remove the stock RHEL package such as mysql, and replace it with the IUS package such as mysql51. See the Client Usage Guide on the wiki for full examples of installing software from IUS.

Known Yum Dependency Resolution Issues

The IUS CoreDev Team is aware of an issue with older versions of Yum and how it resolves dependencies when installing packages.  For background on this matter please see the upstream bug reports that we have submitted:

Please be sure that you are using yum > 3.2.26, or RHEL’s version 3.2.22-23.
