Something Special Making it EVEN better.

EPEL repository

For some completely bizarre reason operations decided to go with CentOS for all future servers and releases. So as a good little soldier, I built up my new VM with CentOS 5. Why can't it just be easy from there on out?

yum install erlang

No go. Turns out there are a whole bunch of RPMs not in the official repository. In comes EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux). EPEL is a "volunteer-based community effort from the Fedora project to create a repository of high-quality add-on packages ".

rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-3.noarch.rpm
yum install erlang

Check.

yum install rabbitmq-server

Check. Happy days.

    While you are on the erlang bandwagon, don’t forget to play around with couchdb. Btw. much easier to install on your shiny new mac than on centos probably.

    I’m a nerd, I just like starting up multiple VMs and keeping my MacBook clean :) And once ops can support something other than MySQL, we’ll be all over that…
