My goal is to install python2.4 using yum (wouldn't you know it, it's a
dependency for something else).
[python24]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Python 2.4
baseurl=http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.4/rpms/fedora-$releasever/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
2. Add the KRUD GPG key by running: "rpm --import
http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.4/rpms/KRUD-GPG-KEY"
3. Install Python 2.4 by running: "yum install python2.4".
This is the output I get after running the yum install line:
....
Cannot find a package matching python2.4
No actions to take
Now, I've checked two things well, the python24.repo file I created is
just as it is above, except instead of $releasever, I have 3. This is
because my version would otherwise attempt 3AS here. And next, I
followed the repository to make sure such a path would have something
there. It does: http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.4/rpms/fedora-3/
So, why the heck doesn't this find python2.4??? These are all the
instructions posted on Python's site to install using yum. So, what's
wrong?
TIA,
Richard
