New to CentOS, I want to install common utilities, e.g., graphics (kolourpaint), security (truecrypt), usenet (pan), DVD creation (DeVeDe), DVD burning (brasero), etc.
But, I'm stumped at the very simplest of steps (I think):
Q: What is the search engine that tells me which repository {kolourpaint,truecrypt,pan,devede,brasero,etc.} resides in?
I first search this CentOS forum for, say, "install kolourpaint" but it fails to bring up a single thread or post for the entire forum.
Likewise, searches such as "truecrypt" don't bring up a single installation (just a few usage questions).
Similarly with "brasero", "pan", and "devede".
Then, as per [url=https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=28724&forum=54]Centos installing software[/url], I try (all to no avail):
[code]
# yum update
# yum install {kolourpaint,truecrypt,pan,devede,brasero,etc.}[/code]
I then try to find the missing repositories as per [url=http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories]Available Repositories for CentOS[/url] but a search there finds nothing for these software packages.
[code]
# rpm -Uvh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-5.noarch.rpm
[/code]
And, lastly I simply google the net, and of course I find RPMs for, say, kolourpaint:
http://pkgs.org/centos-5-rhel-5/repoforge-x86_64/kolourpaint-1.2.2-2.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm.html
But, before I install that using the rpm command, I really should try to find a CentOS-blessed repository (right?):
[code]
rpm -ivh kolourpaint-1.2.2-2.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm
[/code]
In summary, I 'think' my noob problem is that I don't (yet) know the simplest basics on two things:
a) How to search for a repository that actually contains the desired tool
b) How to 'add' that repository such that yum (or rpm) can install that desired tool
Before I try to figure out how to configure RPMForge and ATrpms as per [url=https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=28724&forum=54]centos.org repositories[/url] or how to compile from source ...
May I ask:
Q: What is the search engine that tells me which repository {kolourpaint,truecrypt,pan,devede,brasero,etc.} resides in?
What is the search engine that says which repository has {kolourpaint,truecrypt,pan,devede,brasero}

Re: What is the search engine that says which repository has {kolourpaint,truecrypt,pan,devede,brasero}
I called around and a friend on Redhat Enterprise said there is no single search engine to find how to install common programs such as kolourpaint, truecrypt, pan, devede, brasero, etc..
Seems like a missing link (in not having a search engine), but if that's the procedure on CentOS, then that's what I'll learn and do.
I'll write it up as I perform the tasks, so that the NEXT person who searches for how to install these programs can simply stand on my shoulders and move forward more easily than I did.
Here are instructions for installing [url=http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/RPMForge]RPMforge[/url].
The first line provides a long list for a visual-grep of the packages (weird that there isn't a search engine, nor a description of the packages ... it's just a simple list).
http://pkgs.repoforge.org
I see, from my 'visual grep' of that long list, that the following are provided in RPMforge
1. http://pkgs.repoforge.org/kolourpaint
2. http://pkgs.repoforge.org/truecrypt
3. http://pkgs.repoforge.org/pan
But, even after a few visual greps, I could not find the following:
a. devede (dvd creator)
b. brasero (dvd burner)
So, I'll worry about DVD creating & burning later.
First I'll install RPMforge and then try to install the three packages that seem to be there:
1. [root]# uname -i ==>x86_64
2. Download ==> http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm
3. Encrypt ==> rpm --import http://apt.sw.be/RPM-GPG-KEY.dag.txt
4. Verify ==> rpm -K rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.*.rpm ==> (sha1) dsa sha1 md5 gpg OK
5. Add ==> rpm -i rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.*.rpm
Now it's time to install the three programs which are provided in the RPM repository:
1. yum install kolourpaint ==> No package kolourpaint available.
2. yum install truecrypt ==> No package truecrypt available.
3. yum install pan ==> OK
Well that was unexpected!
I would have thought all three would work --- or all three would fail (if I had done something wrong); but only one (pan) worked and the other two failed. That's bizarre.

Re: What is the search engine that says which repository has {kolourpaint,truecrypt,pan,devede,brasero}
Please review the recommeded reading and the linked articles on yum and rpm. For core packages like brasero:
[code]# yum list brasero
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities, refresh-packagekit
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
Installed Packages
brasero.i686 2.28.3-6.el6 @anaconda-CentOS-201112130233.i386/6.2
[/code]
For searching 3rd party repos I install most or all the ones listed on the [url=http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories]Repositories[/url] page but leave most disabled by default. Searches can then be performed, such as:
[code][root@c6-32 ~]# alias yumlist
alias yumlist='yum --noplugins --showduplicates --enablerepo \* --disablerepo \*-source --disablerepo c6-media,\*debug\*,\*-source list'

So, next I go to google or check for Fedora SRPMS i might rebuild.

So - it seems to be off to google-land for anything else. At least we found two out of 5. Good luck. :-)

Thanks for the advice. And, I've added the yum{search,list} aliases to my bashrc file.
It's sad that yum can't find these very common programs.
- kolourpaint => not installed yet
- truecrypt => not installed yet
- devede => not installed yet
Be that as it may, the next step is to seek an RPM repository online somewhere.
Q: Other than google, do we have, on CentOS, a standard place to 'start' looking for an RPM file?
Note: I googled and then doubleclicked on this rpm file for PAN:
http://pkgs.repoforge.org/pan ==> finds PAN in http://pkgs.repoforge.org/pan/
But, the error was "Can't install /home/rock/Downloads/pan-0.133-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm as no transaction"
Is this error because I'm on CentOS 6 and not Centos 5?

Ah. What I love about your answer is you showed us a "search engine" that will find (for the most part) CentOS 6 blessed packages of interest!
THANKS!
From what you found, I belatedly realize that I can't just assume I'll install 'kolourpaint' but that I may need to install a larger graphics package (e.g., kdegraphics) just to get kolourpaint.

I see how that bottom line shows "kdegraphics.x86_64" matches kolourpaint!
So this is what I ran:
$ su
# yum install kdegraphics
It worked!
Likewise with "yum search all truecrypt" where it's certainly not obvious that "truecrypt" is inside of "tcplay" (whatever that is); but your suggested command says it is so:

Note: I may need to find a more suitable alternative to DeVeDe for creating DVD images from MPG or AVI files (any suggestions?).

No, [url=https://github.com/bwalex/tc-play#readme]tcplay[/url] is a BSD-licensed encryption program that's compatible with TrueCrypt. If you want actual TrueCrypt, you must download it from truecrypt.org.

Thanks for the pointer to dvdauthor to replace DeVeDe for encoding multiple AVI & MPG streams into a DVD-format ISO file for burning as a DVD onto DVD media.
I installed dvdauthor and will look at those other suggested programs to see if they're needed.
Thanks for the advice.

So 'that' explains why I couldn't find Truecrypt after installing tcplay! :)
I'll look up to see if tcplay can be used to create a doubly-encrypted file that acts like a disk drive when unencrypted.
It would be especially useful if tcplay can automatically unmount the drive when the screen saver goes on as the Linux version of Truecrypt does not do that (the Windows version does automatically unmount after a specified inactive time period).

Re: What is the search engine that says which repository has {kolourpaint,truecrypt,pan,devede,brasero}
I ended up installing TrueCrypt as suggested (mainly because of the GUI).
Unfortunately, the Linux TrueCrypt doesn't automatically dismount after a period of inactivitiy like the Windows TrueCrypt does ...
But other than that ... it's a charm!
Thanks everyone for helping out.
I think it is nice that this set of real-world examples can help others by serving as a reference (if they find this in their searches).
It's always two orders of magnitude more efficient to follow a working example than any other known method!
(that's how most of us learned UNIX in the first place!)
