RPMforge is a
collaboration of Dag and other packagers. They provide over 5000
packages for CentOS, including wine, vlc, mplayer, xmms-mp3, and other
popular media tools. It is not part of Red Hat or CentOS but is
designed to work with those distributions. See also Using RPMforge and Repoforge.
Note: Because this repository is NOT part of CentOS, you should direct support questions to its maintainers at the Repoforge Users mailing list.
Packages
are supplied in RPM format and in most cases are ready to use. The
default RPMforge repository does not replace official CentOS base
packages.
1. RPMforge for CentOS 6
The
default RPMforge repository does not replace any CentOS base packages.
In the past it used to, but those packages are now in a separate
repository (rpmforge-extras) which is disabled by default.
You can find a complete listing of the RPMforge package packages at http://packages.sw.be/
Download the rpmforge-release
package. Choose one of the two links below, selecting to match your
host's architecture. If you are unsure of which one to use you can
check your architecture with the command uname -i
The preferred rpmforge-release package to retrieve and to install in order to enable that repository is one of the two listed above.
Install DAG's GPG key
rpm --import http://apt.sw.be/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt
If you get an error message like the following the key has already been imported:
error: http://apt.sw.be/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt: key 1 import failed.
Verify the package you have downloaded
rpm -K rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el6.rf.*.rpm
Security warning: The rpmforge-release package imports GPG keys into your RPM database. As long as you have verified the md5sum of the key injection package, and trust Dag, et al., then it should be as safe as your trust of them extends.
Install the package
rpm -i rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el6.rf.*.rpm
This will add a yum repository config file and import the appropriate GPG keys.
Then try to install something like this
yum install htop
