RedHat Enterprise Linux Server 5.2 替换Yum配置

在安装VMware Server 1.0.7的时候，需要安装两个Rpm包，首先想到的就是yum命令，但是由于系统没有在红帽注册，所以yum命令无法使用红帽提供的ftp，此时考虑到修改yum的配置，绕过红帽的注册，以下步骤经过测试可行。

 

1、创建备份

  cp /etc/yum.conf /etc/yum.conf.bak

  cp /etc/yum.repos.d/rhel-debuginfo.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/rhel-debuginfo.repo.bak

2、删除原文件

  rm -rf /etc/yum.conf

  rm -rf /etc/yum.repos.d/rhel-debuginfo.repo

3、编辑新文件

  vi /etc/yum.conf

  /**以下红色内容直接复制粘贴即可**/

 cachedir=/var/cache/yum
 keepcache=1
 debuglevel=2

 gpgkey=http://centos.ustc.edu.cn/centos/5/os/i386/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5

3、测试

  yum install libXtst-devel

  系统仍然会提示"This system is not registered with RHN."

                       "RHN support will be disabled."

  但是已经可以正常安装了。

  注：这个是中科大的源，号称每隔一小时更新。

4、使用yum update

  在yum update 之前 
  rpm -q yum-rhn-plugin
  rpm -e yum-rhn-plugin-0.5.3-6.el5 --nodeps
  这步如果不做，会报错
  Error: yum conflicts with yum-rhn-plugin < 0.5.3-30.el5

  然后就可以使用yum update了
