Red Hat Free Howto

This howto will help you setup your Red Hat system to use the Seek You Too repository.

Adding the repository

We have created a package which will add the cq2 repository to your yum repository list. Please download cq2-repo-free-5-2.noarch.rpm and install it. For security reasons check that md5sum of this is 0d9bd90b0a74ca30f61eafda477b88d8

$ wget -q http://repository.cq2.org/redhat/free/cq2-repo-free-5-2.noarch.rpm
$ md5sum cq2-repo-free-5-2.noarch.rpm
c878932a48d0485e92b1e87d0661e02f  cq2-repo-free-5-2.noarch.rpm
$ rpm --install cq2-repo-free-5-2.noarch.rpm

Please add or change the option showdupesfromrepos=1 in your /etc/yum.conf file. This will tell yum to show duplicate packages with the same name, which can be convenient to show different versions of the same package.

Signed packages

The packages in the repository are signed using Seek You Too's GPG key 4A442706. More information on this key can be found at a public pgp keyserver.

The key fingerprint is

7A72 338A 2DE0 1E26 4913  4E28 7FDA C785 4A44 2706
Seek You Too B.V. <info@cq2.org>

Verification

To verify that the cq2-package is installed you can ask rpm for information on this key. It should state that it is from Seek You Too.

rpm -qi gpg-pubkey-4a442706

The repository is now added to your Red Hat installation. Verify by doing something like:

yum makecache
yum search meresco

This should result in finding a package called python-meresco2.13.noarch

For running the unittests that go with Meresco, please see the testing page.
