Talk:Dag

Below you find the installation command for the Dag repository which can be entered on the SME Server shell.

Add dag repository to SME 7 (Centos 4)

/sbin/e-smith/db yum_repositories set dag repository \
Name 'Dag - EL4' \
BaseURL 'http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el4/en/$basearch/dag' \

GPGCheck yes \
GPGKey http://dag.wieers.com/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt \

After adding it to the database updating the configuration file is required:

The BaseURL appears to have changed to http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el4/en/i386/dag/RPMS/

Could someone please correct this as I don't see how to edit this.

And where did you read that? Above URL is not working to me. - Cactus 12:21, 24 April 2008 (MDT)

This page is locked - I have created a bug for it

http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4260

it really needs to have this added:

WARNING NOTE: Do not enable this repo by default (eg: status enabled) as it will pull in all kinds of unwanted updates and possibly render your server unusable.

No I disagree, I only made these pages to list the configuration instruction to be used to be included using the Template:Reporitory. I do not undertsand why people change these settings when importing them on their servers, we did lock them for a reason. On top of that the SME_Server:Documentation:FAQ#Which_repositories_should_be_enabled states the repositories should be enabled. It even states how to temporarily enable repositories, listing the dag repository as example: SME_Server:Documentation:FAQ#Adding.2C_removing_or_disabling_repositories - Cactus 12:21, 24 April 2008 (MDT)

It is even stated in Category:Yum_Repository not to enable repositories by default. - Cactus 12:39, 24 April 2008 (MDT)
