Yum Repo

Eval.so runs a yum repository on Amazon S3.

Purpose

The repository contains things that we need/want/use which are not available in the Fedora repositories for whatever reason.

Where possible/where it makes sense, we should try to get things in Fedora directly instead of putting them in this repo, but for some things that just isn't plausable, such as things that are extremely specific to Eval.so (such as our own projects like Frontend and minibcs, if we ever make them into RPMs).

GPG

All RPMs in this repository are signed with key E28C47E4.

There are instructions in the README of the eval-so/yumrepo Git repository for adding RPMs to the repo. Generally, add relevant specfiles/patches to a subdirectory of specs/ and send a pull request. Someone with access to the signing key will handle the request from that point.

Using the repo

Anyone can use this repository, but its existence is primarily for Eval.so's infrastructure, so updates and changes are likely to be unannounced.

To use the repository, run sudo yum install http://yum.eval.so/f18/rpms/evalso-release-1.0.0-3.fc18.noarch.rpm

If that doesn't work, check the current release of evalso-release and change the version number accordingly.

Currently builds target Fedora 18, but Fedora 19 is on the roadmap.

Licensing

All source files (spec files, scripts, and patches) in the repo should be assumed to be GPLv2+ unless otherwise specified.
