<ctracey> hey folks - trying to debug a package issue. anyone else unable to 'yum install npm' cleanly?
<sgallagh> Yeah, that package was built without properly exporting 'Provides: npm(ansi)'
<sgallagh> So the dependencies are broken.
<sgallagh> ctracey: include nodejs-ansi from epel-testing
<ctracey> ok - great
<ctracey> thought i was crazy
<ctracey> sgallagh: thanks!
<sgallagh> It's already been submitted for stable, but it's going to take up to 48 hours to get out to the mirrors
<cr3> ctracey: welcome to the club, but I suspect sgallagh will also become crazy from everyone asking :)
<ctracey> hah
<ctracey> maybe put it in the banner? :)
<cr3> sgallagh: do you think it might be worth asking someone to update the topic of the channel?
* sgallagh doesn't have privilege
<ctracey> my sincere thanks though - much appreciated
<sgallagh> ctracey, cr3: Let me know if that's not sufficient to get up and running.
<cr3> nirik: ^^^ sgallagh would very much appreciate updating the topic of the channel to say something about including nodejs-ansi from epel-testing
<ctracey> sgallagh: will do
<sgallagh> cr3: I could have done that :-P
<cr3> sgallagh: heh, saved you some typing :)
* rdieter (~rdieter@fedora/rdieter) has joined #epel
<cr3> sgallagh: if I just enable epel-testing, for all packages, should that be expected to work when installing npm?
<sgallagh> cr3: cautious yes. I think there's a slightly newer version of the main nodejs package in epel-testing right now, but it's just an upstream point release, so that's likely fine
<sgallagh> I can find you a convoluted yum command if you want that will limit it to just that package
<cr3> sgallagh: this is what I get when trying to install npm with the epel-testing repo enabled: http://pastebin.com/EgUWjFGt
<sgallagh> cr3: Hmm, the package may not have actually made it to your local mirror (we only updated it to -testing last night)
<sgallagh> Ok, here's what you can do:
* rdieter has quit ()
<sgallagh> cr3, ctracey: Download http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/nodejs-ansi/0.1.2/7.el6.1/noarch/nodejs-ansi-0.1.2-7.el6.1.noarch.rpm to the local directory, then run "yum install npm ./nodejs-ansi-0.1.2-7.el6.1.noarch.rpm"
<cr3> sgallagh: should I use baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/testing/6/$basearch instead of mirrorlist in my epel-testing.repo file?
<sgallagh> This approach will also allow you to run the install without the epel-testing repo enabled
* rdieter (~rdieter@fedora/rdieter) has joined #epel
<ctracey> sgallagh: yeah that works
<ctracey> and epel-testing also failed for me
<ctracey> i will drag that rpm to our local rpm repo
<cr3> seems to be progressing for me too, but I'll test a bit later with a vanilla system to know for sure
<ctracey> this is vanilla
<sgallagh> ctracey: Like I said, this is headed to stable, so it will be in the main repo within 48 hours.
<ctracey> sgallagh: yeah, its cool.  I just have 250 machines to roll tonight :)
<ctracey> we will revert on monday
<sgallagh> Understood
