Reduced the number of hoops in my idiot's guide by replacing the whole
cpanflute2 section (four separate steps) with one call to apt-get install
perl-Config-IniFiles

apt-get rocks!

I've got that going now too. Now to set up a fresh RH9 box at work using my
idiot's guide and give it a stress test on a large directory tree of game
data.

The latest version of my idiot's guide...

Install Red Hat 9 in Server configuration. Make sure that mod_perl, mod_php
and mod_python are not installed as part of the Web Server category of
packages. This is because the upgrade to httpd-2.0.47 fails due to
dependency errors with these packages.

Download apt-get

http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/redhat/9/apt/apt-0.5.5cnc6-fr1.i386.r
pm

Install apt-get (remember that you must be logged in as root, ie. su root)

# rpm -Uvh apt-0.5.5cnc6-fr1.i386.rpm

First you must update the packages that apt-get knows about

# apt-get update

Get the latest perl-Config-IniFiles package

# apt-get install perl-Config-IniFiles

Get the latest perl-CGI package (required by subversion-tools)

# apt-get install perl-CGI

Download the RPMs for Subversion (all except devel RPMs)

http://summersoft.fay.ar.us/pub/subversion/i386/subversion-latest/redhat-9.x
/

Now you can update Subversion

# rpm -Uvh *.rpm

Subversion should now be successfully installed.
