VirtualGL YUM and APT Repositories

YUM and APT repository hosting generously provided by

YUM

VirtualGL can be installed and updated using YUM by following this procedure:

1. As root, download VirtualGL.repo and place it in /etc/yum.repos.d.
   • If you want to use the i386 VirtualGL package on an x86-64 system, then additionally download VirtualGL-i386.repo and place it in /etc/yum.repos.d.
2. Use YUM to install a binary, debuginfo, or source package. Examples:
   • Install or upgrade to the latest version of VirtualGL:
     
     

     sudo yum install VirtualGL
     
   • List available VirtualGL packages:
     
     

     yum --showduplicates list VirtualGL
     
   • Install a specific VirtualGL package:
     
     

     sudo yum install VirtualGL-3.0.2-20230201.x86_64
     
   • Download a specific VirtualGL source RPM:
     
     

     yumdownloader --source VirtualGL-3.0.2
     
   • Install debugging symbols for the currently installed VirtualGL package:
     
     

     sudo debuginfo-install VirtualGL
     

Replace yum with dnf and yumdownloader with dnf download if using Fedora 23 or later or Red Hat Enterprise 8 (and derivatives) or later.

Excluding beta releases

Add the following to /etc/yum.repos.d/VirtualGL.repo (and, if applicable, /etc/yum.repos.d/VirtualGL-i386.repo) to exclude beta versions of VirtualGL (useful if you are deploying VirtualGL in a production environment.)

exclude=VirtualGL-*.*.9[0-9]-*

1. As root, execute:
   
   

   wget -q -O- https://packagecloud.io/dcommander/virtualgl/gpgkey | \
     gpg --dearmor >/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/VirtualGL.gpg
   
2. As root, download VirtualGL.list and place it in /etc/apt/sources.list.d.
