Installing YUM on OpenSUSE

Install yum on OpenSUSE Linux Based servers

How to install "yum" on OpenSUSE Linux based servers


Yum is an awesome util to install various linux based binaries. However, OpenSUSE missed it. Here I mention a workaround on how to get it and start enjoying using yum.


STEPS : (RPM Based installation)

Step #1 Download dependent RPMs including yum
Step #2 Install the RPMs


#1 Download yum and all its dependencies from this link:
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.2/repo/oss/suse/i586/

python-urlgrabber
python-sqlite
rpm-python
yum-metadata-parser (used option --nodeps)
yum

#2. Install them all using this command: -> rpm -Uvh (name of packages above)
but for yum-metadata-parser use -> rpm -Uvh --nodeps yum-metadata-parser

3. Prepare yum config file
a. -> cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
b. create file with .repo (ex: suse.repo) containing:
[base]
name=OpenSUSE_10.2 Base
type=rpm-md
baseurl=http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.2/repo/oss/suse/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.2/repo
/oss/gpg-pubkey-a1912208-446a0899.asc
enabled=1

4. yum is ready for usage.

Youtkit - Java Profiler

" Yourkit " is a useful profiler for Java based applications. The "Yourkit" is not a free product but it does come with a free trial of one month or so when writing this article. Its worth to give a hands on trial with this tool : You can read more on "Yourkit" profiler itself here : https://www.yourkit.com/ As a developer, one important factor to consider while writing your code is how well your application handles stress/load, latencies, memory foot prints, CPU usage etc. The main goal of this article is to show how to use YOURKIT profiler and debug performance of applications (typically JAVA  - atleast what I have tried so far..) Lets go through some basics of Yourkit agents. There exists a "yourkit" agent on server side which we can directly attach to a running JAVA process. One thing to note its awesomeness is that there is no need to re-run/stop the JAVA process for attaching this debugging agent (aka Yourkit agent) on fly. On cli...
