Does anyone know of a YUM repo that has 2.1.6 available?
If you really want to use yum (I wouldn't know why rpm -Uvh wouldn't do) you can download the rpm and use 'yum localinstall otrs*.rpm'. Since the dependencies are already installed this wouldn't be any different from 'rpm -U otrs*.rpm' though (except for an entry in yum.log).
I only want to use yum since that is what I used to install the running version. I usually get the source and install that in it's default locations, because, IMHO, I have found that the packages sometimes sometimes want to go in /usr/bin or something similar, as opposed to /usr/local/bin, or the places that the source want to install. With OTRS using /opt/otrs this seems like much less of an issue, but I want to be consistent.
Whether you install the rpm using rpm or yum really makes no difference. Yum is really just a dependency-resolving fronted to rpm. I wasn't talking about an install from source, just about two different ways to install the rpm. Nils Breunese.
