Centos – Yum not Detecting phpMyAdmin Updates

As a worst-case scenario, you could always just compile your own version of openssl as an RPM for your system, and then rpm -ihv.

EDIT: Starting with the source file (.tar.gz), here's what you want to do:

1) Create a new directory to house the RPM hierarchy.

# mkdir -p myopenssl/BUILD myopenssl/RPMS myopenssl/SOURCES myopenssl/SPECS myopenssl/SRPMS

2) Go into the SOURCES directory, and download your source openssl.tar.gz

# cd myopenssl/SOURCES
# mv openssl.tar.gz myopenssl/SOURCES/

3) Create a spec file that provides the necessary metadata (you will need to verify all the values are correct)

--- spec ----
%define _topdir     /home/user/myopenssl
%define name            openssl
%define release     0
%define version     x.x
%define buildroot %{_topdir}/%{name}-%{version}-root

BuildRoot:  %{buildroot}
Summary:        openssl
License:        GPL
Name:           %{name}
Version:        %{version}
Release:        %{release}
Source:         %{name}-%{version}.tar.gz
Prefix:         /usr
Group:          Development/Tools

%description
Special build of openssl for centos.

%prep
%setup -q

%build
./configure
make

%install
make install prefix=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr

%files
%defattr(-,root,root)
/usr/local/bin/openssl

%doc %attr(0444,root,root) /usr/local/share/man/man1/openssl.1

4) After you have a spec file, use the rpmbuild command to build your RPM

# rpmbuild -v -bb --clean myopenssl/SPECS/openssl.spec

5) Your RPM is built at this point... use the following command to look at the contents:

# rpm -Vp RPMS/i386/myopenssl.i386.rpm

6) To install it, run the following as root:

# rpm -ihv myopenssl.i386.rpm

Hope this helps!

First off, did you run createrepo on your yum repository? You'll need to rebuild the metadata whenever you add new packages.

Secondly, what's the timeout on the cache? You can forecfully clean your localized metadata on your client by running yum clean all, then try checking for updates again. It will download all updated metadata from the repositories.

Hope this helps!
