Usos "curiosos" de yum

Tema:

CentOS

no sé si era algo viejo, pero lo descubrí por error el otro día.

La idea es que yum no solamente se conecta a los repositorios a bajar los paquetes que le indicas sino que te ofrece otras formas de instalar paquetes:

1- Supongamos que tienes un paquete llamado x.rpm en el directorio /root/ lo bajaste por alguna razón a ese directorio.. lo tienes ahi y ya.. pues pones:

yum install x.rpm

y el yum no solamente lo instala, sino que si hubieran requerimientos que satisfacer, los cumple (bueno, partiendo del hecho de que esos requerimientos estén en sus repositorios).

Hoy quería instalar el sarg, pero no el repositorio de repoforge completo.. así que hice esto:
[root@cpe-e06995350f5d ~]# yum install http://pkgs.repoforge.org/sarg/sarg-2.3-2.el6.test.x86_64.rpm Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, presto Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: mirror.ash.fastserv.com * epel: mirror.symnds.com * extras: mirrors.igsobe.com * updates: centos.mirror.choopa.net Setting up Install Process sarg-2.3-2.el6.test.x86_64.rpm | 508 kB 00:05 Examining /var/tmp/yum-root-rHiNPV/sarg-2.3-2.el6.test.x86_64.rpm: sarg-2.3-2.el6.test.x86_64 Marking /var/tmp/yum-root-rHiNPV/sarg-2.3-2.el6.test.x86_64.rpm to be installed Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package sarg.x86_64 0:2.3-2.el6.test will be installed --> Processing Dependency: gd >= 1.8 for package: sarg-2.3-2.el6.test.x86_64 --> Processing Dependency: libgd.so.2()(64bit) for package: sarg-2.3-2.el6.test.x86_64 --> Running transaction check ---> Package gd.x86_64 0:2.0.35-10.el6 will be installed --> Processing Dependency: libXpm.so.4()(64bit) for package: gd-2.0.35-10.el6.x86_64 --> Running transaction check ---> Package libXpm.x86_64 0:3.5.8-2.el6 will be installed --> Finished Dependency Resolution
