We've added a yum repository on mirrors.medsphere.org.  Currently, the repository only contains packages of the OpenVista/GT.M Integration Project for RHEL/CentOS 5.  Both i386 and x86_64 are currently supported.

Adding the repository

Our repository requires packages from the EPEL repository, so you have to install the EPEL repository first:

su -c 'rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-3.noarch.rpm'

Next, install the medsphere.org repository:

su -c 'rpm -Uvh http://mirrors.medsphere.org/pub/yum/centos/5/i386/medsphere-repo-5-4.noarch.rpm'

Installing packages

Existing OpenVista installations should report packages available for upgrade after adding the repository.  New installations can install all the required packages by running:

yum install openvista-utils openvista-libs-5.4000

Note: if you leave off the openvista-libs-5.4000 package, yum will choose one of the openvista-libs-* packages to install.  This will work, but you aren't guaranteed to get the latest version of GT.M.

Optional packages

The following packages are also recommended:

• putty-tools
• bash-completion
• pbzip2

You can install them with the following command:

yum install putty-tools bash-completion pbzip2
