06 Mar 09 Installing BETA version of SqueezeCenter

If you want to load BETA (unstable) versions of SqueezeCenter you can. You just need to enable the Slimdevices YUM repo.

Warning: Installing BETA versions will break all kinds of stuff like VortexBox player.

First enable the repo. Enter this from the command line.

rpm -Uvh http://repos.slimdevices.com/yum/squeezecenter/squeezecenter-repo-1-4.noarch.rpm

Now you can use yum to update to newer versions of  SC.

This will get you the latest production version.

yum update squeezecenter

This will get you the latest testing version

yum --enablerepo=squeezecenter-testing update squeezecenter

and this will get you the nightlly build

yum --enablerepo=squeezecenter-unstable update squeezecenter

If you no longer want to have access to BETA version you can un-install the BETA repo.

rpm -e squeezecenter-repo

rpm -del --nodeps squeezeboxserver

yum install squeezeboxserver
