To other forum users, please show how to add more utility programs.

I’ve used SME8 beta6 with updates for about 10 days now.  Working well, but every contrib I attempt to add except logwatch reported … not found.   I did a local yum install of dd client.  Both contribs are working well.  I’m ready to further explore and appreciate any help to make thing easier.

Thanks.

I did that.  Logwatch installed as expected but everything else I tried was not found.

what did not work, for example?

You have to configure the sme7contribs repo, as explained here: http://wiki.contribs.org/SME8.0_Contribs_QA#Setup
Then, when you want to install some contrib, you need to enable this repo like this:

Code: [Select]

yum --enablerepo=sme7contribs install smeserver-foo

purvis, please document HOWTOs via the wiki, not here.

My bad.  Changing smecontribs to sme7contribs solved my problem -“yum --enablerepo=sme7contribs install smeserver-wbl” -.  I installed smeserver-wbl panel  and attempted awstats.  Yum found both contribs but failed for dependencies on awstats.  I’ll work on this over the weekend. 

Thanks for your help.

I would like to Charlie, but most likely i would make some major errors.
Let's make those errors here and discuss them here,  then move what works well to a wiki.

You're allowed to make errors in the wiki. Someone else can correct any errors. That's how a wiki works.

[purvis]

I can agree only to a point on wiki. But how many people in gods creation monitors wiki pages for additions on a developmental project and I underscore DEVELOPMENTAL.
I for one, do not,  and I believe I am quiet a normal person.

Try ...

yum --enablerepo=sme7contribs --enablerepo=smecontribs install program-name

if using only 1 fails.
