OEL 6.8 yum repo for later version of CURL.

Jim MeredithApr 13 2020 — edited May 4 2020

Hi - Can anyone tell me how to add access from a server running OEL 6.8 for a repo containing later versions of CURL than 7.19,7?

We don't want to upgrade Linux on this server yet, but we need to improve the functionality of CURL on it. Specifically need .--netrc-file command line option in CURL but it is not available in the current version. 7.19.7. The earliest version of CURL that has the functionality we need is 7.21.5.

My apologies if this is a dumb question, but how to I add access to the appropriate yum repo for a later version of CURL to a server running OEL 6.8?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Jim
