[testing] OMSA 5.3 available in yum repositories

[Martin Flemming]

Hi, Michael & Jeffrey et all !

My first try on a PoerEdge 1950
OS RHEL4.5 ( Scientific Linux SL4.5) has got following error

[h1farm22] /tmp # wget -q -O - http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/bootstrap.cgi | bash
Downloading GPG key: http://linux.dell.com//repo/hardware/RPM-GPG-KEY-dell
     Importing key into RPM.
Downloading GPG key: http://linux.dell.com//repo/hardware/RPM-GPG-KEY-libsmbios
     Importing key into RPM.
Failed to download RPM: http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/latest/platform_independent/rh40/prereq/dell-hw-indep-repository-1-14.el4.noarch.rpm


then i've changed in the bootstrap.cgi

following lines

REPO_RPM_VER="1-14" instead of REPO_RPM_VER="1-13"


and

RPM_URL=${ACTUAL_REPO_URL}/dell-hw-indep-repository/1-14/$REPO_RPM instead

of

RPM_URL=${ACTUAL_REPO_URL}/prereq/$REPO_RPM


and then it's running ..

I would like to see some people test this and report back. After I have gotten a few success reports, I will change this repository to be the default repository sometime next week.
