[rt-users] Install on CentOS, best current instructions

[Robert Grasso]

Hello,

I have been running and upgrading RT on CentOS (today RT 3.8.7 on CentOS v5.5) for several years. In addition to all the good
advices previously given, I would add, in short : the main (and single !) issue is about non RHEL-compliant Perl modules; up to RT
3.6, it seemed that we had to deal with only one such non-standard module, now there seem to be more. I picked up some from
rpmforge, as I was trying to keep an rpm-administered system if possible, but eventually I dropped this tedious solution, and
finished with :

make testdeps

make fixdeps

(documented in the README from the stock tar.gz downloaded RT archive)

Now, when I am upgrading my OS, I monitor possible perl* updates : whenever I seen one, I am going back immediately to

make testdeps (because I am curious)

make fixdeps (jumping here directly should be sufficient as a quick fix)

So far so good ...
