[WBEL-users] Trying to update WBL

[p.banholzer]

Hi Jeff,

first,
did you import the Dag GPG key ?
rpm --import http://dag.wieers.com/packages/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt
checking the GPG keys with :
rpm -q gpg-pubkey --qf "%{summary} -> %{version}-%{release}\n"
look at
http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/FAQ.php#B3

then,
check your yum.conf : should look like
[base]
name=White Box Enterprise Linux $releasever - $basearch - Base
baseurl=ftp://mirror.physics.ncsu.edu/pub/whitebox/$releasever/en/os/$basearch/
       
ftp://ftp.esat.net/mirrors/whiteboxlinux.org/$releasever/en/os/$basearch/
       
ftp://ftp.kspei.com/mirrors/whiteboxlinux.org/whitebox/$releasever/en/os/$basearch/
       
ftp://ftp.jach.hawaii.edu/pub/linux/whitebox/$releasever/en/os/$basearch/
       
ftp://gd.tuwien.ac.at/opsys/linux/whiteboxlinux/$releasever/en/os/$basearch/
       
ftp://ftp.opensourcemirrors.org/linux/whitebox/$releasever/en/os/$basearch/
        http://whitebox.phantomhosting.com/$releasever/en/os/$basearch/

[updates-released]
name=White Box Enterprise Linux $releasever - $basearch - Released Updates
baseurl=http://whitebox.phantomhosting.com/$releasever/en/updates/
       
ftp://ftp.opensourcemirrors.org/linux/whitebox/$releasever/en/updates/

        ftp://ftp.jach.hawaii.edu/pub/linux/whitebox/$releasever/en/updates/
