rocks 5.4 cluster - installing subversion

sometimes the most trivial things turn out to be rather interessting.

For example my latest drama with rocks was that I just needed subversion, to convert one of my BinBase images to a development image for BinBase.

Little did I know, that in the rocks 5.4 version, the installer fails to provide you with the base repository. Quality control anyone?

Anyway, to get your yum to work, as exspected. Just open your


/etc/yum.conf


file and add the following section



[base]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Base
mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=os



at the end of the file and than you can install subversion like always using:



yum -y install subversion
