Installing gitweb failed: No package gitweb available.

I have tried installing gitweb via ssh and failed. Below is what I get.

root@server [~]# yum install gitweb
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror

Nothing to do

Anyone has any idea of what else is missing?

  • It looks as if you don't have a yum repository enabled that contains the gitweb package; check the list of repo's in /eyc/yum.repos.d. Since Git is pretty new, it's possible that you just don't have a recent enough version of CentOS for it to include gitweb in the available packages.

    Try the advanced search at http://rpm.pbone.net/ to find where you can get a gitweb package from.

  • gitweb is available in the EPEL repo http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL.
