I want to install the testing package gimp-1.3.21, which is in the
testing directory of fedora.us

I have in my /etc/yum.conf the line:
baseurl=http://download.fedora.us/fedora/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/yum/testing

But when I run 'yum install gimp' or 'yum update gimp' I have the
message 'gimp is installed and is the latest version' (the version I
have installed is 1.2.5-1

What am I doing wrong?



The package is called gimp2

Christoph



if I may make a suggestion run
yum list available
#or
yum list "*gimp*"
#or
yum info "*gimp*"
#first to get the exact package names etc ...
also you can do
yum list available|less
#in another shell for reference, however if you do scroll to the end first
so yum passes it all to the pipe and exits. else you'll get an error due to
trying to run two copies at once. :-D
