Are there any methods to install apcupsd at CentOS not using EPEL?

[crystal]

Hi. I'm trying to install apcupsd package at CentOS 6.9. But I found that the EPEL 6 no longer support apcupsd package.
So I'm wondering is there any other methods to install apcupsd package at CentOS 6.9 not using EPEL. Thanks.

Hi crystal,
i found that also and i got
'rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm'
from
http://repoforge.org/use/

Code: Select all

cp /mnt/rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm /tmp
rpm -ivh /tmp/rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm
yum -y install apcupsd

I can install it here in a VM, but test it on real hardware tommorrow.

Best regards

Please don't use rpmforge. It's a dead project and the repo has packages in it that have had no updates for more than 4 years. This means that many of them have unfixed security problems...

EPEL may be annoying as they removed the package but it does at least mean that they're not shipping something out of date and vulnerable.
