<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m currently trying to fresh install stock eprints (3.3.15) on a dev server built with RHEL 7 using the instructions here:
<a href="http://wiki.eprints.org/w/index.php?title=Installing_EPrints_3_via_Redhat_RPM">
http://wiki.eprints.org/w/index.php?title=Installing_EPrints_3_via_Redhat_RPM</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Yum works fine for everything I need right up until I add the rpm repository and then it just doesn’t.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I can wget e.g. <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk">www.bbc.co.uk</a> having set http_proxy , https_proxy and ftp_proxy, but trying to ‘yum install eprints’ just times out and tries other mirrors before finally failing with
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One of the configured repositories failed (EPrints Repository Software),<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> 1. Contact the upstream for the repository and get them to fix the problem.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> 2. Reconfigure the baseurl/etc. for the repository, to point to a working<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> upstream. This is most often useful if you are using a newer<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> distribution release than is supported by the repository (and the<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> packages for the previous distribution release still work).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> 3. Disable the repository, so yum won't use it by default. Yum will then<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> just ignore the repository until you permanently enable it again or use<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> --enablerepo for temporary usage:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> yum-config-manager --disable rpm-eprints-org<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> 4. Configure the failing repository to be skipped, if it is unavailable.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Note that yum will try to contact the repo. when it runs most commands,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> so will have to try and fail each time (and thus. yum will be be much<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> slower). If it is a very temporary problem though, this is often a nice<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> compromise:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> yum-config-manager --save --setopt=rpm-eprints-org.skip_if_unavailable=true<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">failure: repodata/repomd.xml from rpm-eprints-org: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">http://rpm.eprints.org/eprints/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] curl#56 - "Network error recv()"<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Disabling as per step 3 allows yum to work again for other stuff, but obviously not install eprints. Any clues?<o:p></o:p></p>
