Hi all s3cmd folks! I'm introducing an easy way to keep your s3cmd installation up to date. It's available for users of OpenSUSE, Suse Enterprise, RedHat Enterprise, Fedora and CentOS distributions. All these are RPM-based distributions and use "YUM" style package repositories.
Now you can add a 's3tools' package repository to your system and use your standard package management tools to install and update s3cmd. In RHEL 5, CentOS 5 and Fedora: ------------------------------- - add repository description to your yum config directory: cd /etc/yum.repos.d wget http://s3cmd.org/repo/RHEL_5/s3tools.repo or use one of the following URLs if you're not on RHEL 5: http://s3cmd.org/repo/RHEL_5/s3tools.repo http://s3cmd.org/repo/CentOS_5/s3tools.repo http://s3cmd.org/repo/Fedora_8/s3tools.repo http://s3cmd.org/repo/Fedora_9/s3tools.repo - install s3cmd with yum: ~# yum install s3cmd [...] Installing: s3cmd noarch 0.9.8.3-2.1 s3tools 49 k You'll have to agree to import the GPG key used for signing the packages: warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID e612b227 Importing GPG key 0xE612B227 "home:mludvig OBS Project <home:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" from http://s3cmd.org/repo/RHEL_5/repodata/repomd.xml.key Is this ok [y/N]: y That's it. SLES and OpenSUSE users: ------------------------ In YaST open Software->Installation sources and select to add a new inst. source of URL type. In the subsequent dialog enter one of the following URLs as the repository address: http://s3cmd.org/repo/openSUSE_10.2/ http://s3cmd.org/repo/openSUSE_10.3/ http://s3cmd.org/repo/openSUSE_11.0/ http://s3cmd.org/repo/openSUSE_Factory/ http://s3cmd.org/repo/SLE_10/ (use this for SLES, SLED, OES, etc). Then open the package manager and install s3cmd as you'd do with any other package. You'll have to agree to import the GPG key used for signing the packages. Other RPM-based distributions: ------------------------------ If I don't provide a repository for your favourite distro you've got two options: 1) ask me what you need and I'll see if I can help. As I use OpenSUSE Build Service to compile these packages I'm limited to the platforms offered by OBS. 2) Grab the source RPM from 'src' in one of the above repositories (doesn't matter from which, the source rpms are all the same) and rebuild it on your host with for instance: ~# rpmbuild --rebuild s3cmd-0.9.8.3-2.1.src.rpm That will compile a noarch.rpm for your distribution. I hope this new service will make your life easier. As usually report any problems to this list or to the bugtracker on sourceforge. Enjoy!
