RedHawk 2.0 final release - redhawksdr

I previously installed the RedHawk 2.0 version dated 29 Oct 2015 but I now see on the RedHawk home page that there is a RedHawk 2.0 final release dated from Dec 2015. I downloaded the tar.gz, which has the same name as the one I installed before but a different sha1 checksum. So I untar'ed it and tried to update using yum but it found that no rpm's had new version numbers and so it said nothing to be done (yet diff says nearly every file has changed). How do I update to this newer release? If this is newer why didn't the version number go to 2.0.1 or at least the version numbers of the rpm's change?

Don't know what the deal is, but easiest thing to do would be remove all current redhawk stuff and replace with new:
sudo yum remove redhawk*
cd <redhawk-2.0.0...>
sudo yum install *rpm

Intellij IDEA 2017.2 can't add openjk 9 on Linux Mint 18

I am using Intellij IDEA 2017.2.5 on Linux Mint 18.2 and trying to add new openjdk-9 SDK but IDEA does not accept openjdk 9 as valid JDK:
I have installed all of my SDKs using apt-get from ppa standard repositories.
This is my update-alternatives --config java/javac output:
Although Intellij declared it would support JDK 9 here, but it seems it is not yet fully compatible with at least opensdk-9.
Maybe refactoring SDK directory and removing 'jre' folder misleads the IDEA to find the SDK 9 home folder.
Any idea why Intellij IDEA claims 'The selected directory is not a valid home for JDK' ?
“ Ubuntu PPA for OpenJDK” currently has very old build of openjdk-9(9~b115-1ubuntu1).
So the IDEA does not recognize it as a valid SDK.
I removed current installed version:
sudo apt-get remove '^openjdk-9.*'
Then I have downloaded newer .deb build(9~b181) files including jre,jre-headless,... from launchpad build archive.
sudo dpkg -i openjdk-9-jre-headless_9_b181-4_amd64.deb
openjdk-9-jre_9_b181-4_amd64.deb
openjdk-9-jdk-headless_9_b181-4_amd64.deb
openjdk-9-jdk_9_b181-4_amd64.deb
Just Execute the above command at a single line, line breaks are for better readability.
Ignore any error complaining about:
"Package libpng16-16 is not installed."
Next execute the following:
sudo apt-get install -f
Now after installing this build of openjdk-9 the IDEA is happy with SDK home.
Thanks #y.bedrov for his useful comment.
Update:
However this solution enables you to declare openjdk-9 in the mentioned IDEA version(2017-2) but you are not able to compile any class within the IDEA itself.
You can only compile your application with elder jdk and run it with openjdk-9. There is an other issue which indicates this here.
In the newer IDEA versions(I have tested 2017.3) this build of openjdk is not allowed to be used as new SDK any more, see this issue.
The short reason is an issue in Debian package which contains incorrectly compiled lib/jrt-fs.jar file.

Apache version upgrade issue

At present we are on Apache/2.2.15 (UNIX) version. To fix the vulnerabilities we are suggested to upgrade to new version. I got new version from online using "wget" command and followed steps mentioned on this link http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/install.html#download.
Once I am done, checked version using httpd -v. It gives me old version Apache/2.2.15 (UNIX). If I check using /usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd - v. It gives me new version. Did I successfully upgraded the version or not? If not what should I do?
I tried "yum install httpd" - It says "Nothing to do".
You now have two versions of Apache installed. You have the one installed with the system package manager (yum) in /usr/sbin/httpd. You have one installed manually in /usr/local/apache2/....
Which one you get will be determined entirely by which path you use.
In general, mixing system-managed packages with manually installed packages is a recipe for trouble. If you want to stick with the newer version in /usr/local, you should remove the system version, and realize that you will lose some manageability. For example, you will no longer be able to use yum install ... to install new Apache modules, and you will not be able to verify the installed files using tools like rpmverify.
If your distribution currently has Apache 2.2.x, that suggests your distribution is fairly old. For example, RHEL (and CentOS) 7 (and similar variants) have version 2.4.6 packaged, so you may want to update your host to something newer than whatever you're running now.
Yes, its successfully upgraded as per the screenshot.
httpd 2.2.15 is the version with RHEL 6 repository, here HTTPD_HOME is /etc/httpd (Highest version provided for HTTPD via RPM RHEL 6 is 2.2.15)
httpd 2.4.6 is the version with EPEL-HTTPD24 repository, here HTTPD_HOME is /usr/local/apache2/

CVS Version on RHEL5

Currently I have CVS version 1.11.17 installed on RHEL4 server in my workspace. Now, my company is planning to upgrade to RHEL5.
Is the CVS version compatible with RHEL5, or we'll need to upgrade that too?
CVS has not changed in years. Development stopped 10 years ago. The cvs versions in RHEL4,5,6,7 will all be compatible.
In general:
1.11.x = The latest stable version
1.12.x = A newer version that was never declared 'stable' and then development on CVS stopped. In RHEL you will not be given the 1.12.x version. In some other distributions you may be.

How do I use yum to download software only from Centos 5.4 and not the latest

Requirement is to download software from Centos 5.4. When I do yum install , I get the latest version and not the one available for Centos 5.4.
How do I configure yum to download only from 5.4 repo?
As I said in my answer to your other question you need to find a repository that has a maintained, static entry for 5.4.
Most repositories have just one repository for each major version and upgrade it as new minor versions are released. But some keep specific repositories for each version independently (at least for a little while).
I would start with checking whether your current repository has an explicitly 5.4 repository (by using the URL in the yum.conf or /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo file for the repository).
If that doesn't work out you get to try other mirrors as listed on the CentOS mirrors website.
As a fallback, and I encourage you to try to find a valid mirror first, you can find this sort of minor version specific repository on http://vault.centos.org.

Postgresql 8.3 version needed for OpenSUSE

I have installed OpenSUSE 12.1 installed on machine.
and i have postgresql-contrib-8.3.11-0.1.i586.rpm,postgresql-devel-8.3.11-0.1.i586.rpm, postgresql-docs-8.3.11-0.1.i586.rpm,postgresql-libs-8.3.11-0.1.i586.rpm,postgresql-server-8.3.11-0.1.i586.rpm..
I want to installed postgresql 8.3 version based on above packages..but when i installed with this command .it shows an error.
opnsu121:/ # rpm -Uvh postgresql-server-8.3.11-0.1.i586.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
postgresql = 8.3 is needed by postgresql-server-8.3.11-0.1.i586
Even i am not able to find postgresql 8.3 base version as i think the above one is update.i have gone throgh the download.openSUSE.orf,ftp.openSUSE.org..
http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.0/rpm/i586/..
but not able to find what i need..so please help on this,
If at all possible, use YaST or whatever package manager SuSE uses to install the current version of PostgreSQL. From the repository it looks like that's 9.1.1.
If you specifically need PostgreSQL 8.3, I'd recommend using the distro-independent installer from EnterpriseDB. That should work fine on SuSE 12.2. If your organisation has particularly restrictive and unsafe version policies that force you to use old versions with known bugs, you can get 8.3.14 for 32-bit Linux here and 8.3.11 for 32-bit Linux here.
If you have issues with using the well-tested and known-to-work EnterpriseDB binary installer versions of PostgreSQL, your other option (and a good one) is to install from source code. Download the PostgreSQL 8.3.18 sources from the FTP site, then:
sudo mkdir -p /opt/postgresql93
sudo chown `id -un` /opt/postgresql93
./configure --prefix=/opt/postgresql93
make
make install
after which you can use /opt/postgresql93/bin/initdb (see initdb manual) to create a database and /opt/postgresql93/bin/pg_ctl (see pg_ctl manual) to start/stop it, as per the PostgreSQL documentation.
Don't try to force packages from an old version of SuSE to install on your new version. It'll probably result in an increasing tree of dependencies and end in pain.
If at all possible, try to convince your company that their policy of requiring a specific minor version (eg 8.4.14 not just "8.4.x") of PostgreSQL is unsafe and counterproductive. They're forcing you to do dirty hacks or hand-compile unique, custom installs just for your setup in order to avoid using well tested builds that contain extra bug fixes. Requiring approval before upgrading from 8.3 to 8.4/9.0/9.1/etc makes sense as there are feature and backward compatibility changes that require careful testing, but requiring approval before upgrading from 8.3.14 to 8.3.18 is counterproductive. Minor version upgrades of PostgreSQL are very conservative; you should stay up to date with the latest minor release.
hurray...I got the answer..
I have got the package below:
postgresql-contrib-8.3.11-0.1.i586.rpm, postgresql-devel-8.3.11-0.1.i586.rpm,postgresql-docs-8.3.11-0.1.i586.rpm,postgresql-libs-8.3.11-0.1.i586.rpm,postgresql-server-8.3.11-0.1.i586.rpm from the below link:
http://download.opensuse.org/update/12.1/i586/
and the one more package which i have struggled to get is:
postgresql-8.3.11-0.1.i586.rpm with the following link:
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/17194424/dir/opensuse_11.x/com/postgresql-8.3.11-0.1.i586.rpm.html
with all above packages i have installed using..
rpm -ivh packagename
if there is a dependency then rpm -ivh --nodeps packagename
great..its done..
