Ok, While I personally havn’t used the Yum-Gui on Bluequartz/CentOS, I do find it odd that even though someone would close their business they would then go and put an update on the BQ update server to remove a package that I’m sure a lot of people would use.

I can understand Nuonce removing their repository for yum, but why go and do something that seems to be just stupid.

I see Solarspeed.net still has the .pkg available for download for the yum-gui but I suspect if it were to be installed a yum update would promptly remove it again.

Ok well, I have just tested it on my server. and if you install the .pkg from SolarSpeed.net it seems to stay there. I guess time will tell for how long.

Well, I have just upgraded my Bluequartz CentOS server to PHP5 while retaining PHP4 for the BQ Admin Server.

You don’t need to spend money on a Package that does what you can do for free. I followed the HowTo at http://www.osoffice.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=368 and it appears to be working very well.

As a bonus It upgraded Apache, MySQL and PostgreSQL and Perl along with PHP5 but retaining PHP4 for the admin section.
