Installing a specific package version with yum
I have a Fedora system with Postgres version 8.3 and I want to downgrade to 8.2 because of a compatibility issue.

Given an rpm package name, query the yum database for updates

Can yum tell me which of my repositories provide a particular package?
Hopefully short version of the question: If I'm on a machine that has a particular package installed, is there a yum command that will tell me which of it's configured repositories provided that package? (Or alternately, what repository would provide a yet-to-be-installed package.) Background in case some context is needed: We have a m...

Django on CentOS
I'm looking to use Django on a shared host that's running an unknown version of CentOS. My main problem is trying to interface with a database. The server has MySQL installed, but not MySQL-python.

How does one easily add posix support to PHP using yum?

how do I find which rpm package supplies a file I'm looking for?
As an example, I am looking for a mod_files.sh file which presumably would come with the php-devel package. I guessed that yum would install the mod_files.sh file with the php-devel x86_64 5.1.6-23.2.el5_3 package , but the file appears to not to be installed on my filesystem. How do I find out which package installs the specific file ...
how to use a private yum repo on amazon-s3 to provision amazon-ec2 instances?
My fantasy is to be able to spin up a standard AMI, load a tiny script and end up with a properly configured server instance. Part of this is that I would like to have a PRIVATE yum repo in S3 that would contain some proprietary code. It seems that S3 wants you to either be public or use AMZN's own special flavor of authentication. Is...

PCI Compliance + Magento + PHP version
I'm trying to get PCI Compliance for my dedicated server (Red Hat Enterprise Linux), which is running Magento.

So, I found a separate repo with PHP version 5.2.11, which got everything running fine, but now I'...

How to use an RPM option in a yum upgrade?
I need to upgrade an RPM installed via YUM, which has an fatal bug in its postun section. This will get run (and delete the program's user, which is what I want to not happen) when I run "yum upgrade". I know that if I were using rpm directly, I could just use the "-nopostun" option to skip this section, but I don't see a way of access...
