Installing Varnish Cache 3.0 on Amazon EC2

Just a quick question to see if anyone knows how to install Varnish Cache 3.0 on an Amazon EC2 Instance without having to build from source? I have previously installed on many servers running Ubuntu and CentOS, however I'm having trouble with EC2 Instances.

I've updated the repos to include the latest version (https://www.varnish-cache.org/installation/redhat), but only some of the packages are comign from varnish-3.0 (varnish-debuginfo.x86_64), whereas some are still coming from amzn-main (varnish.x86_64) after doing yum list.

Does anyone know how to get around this? I've also tried --enablerepo=varnish-3.0 but that still tries to install Varnish 2.1.5

Thanks for any help in advance

For me, it was something to do with yum repo priorties. So first make you have the plugin installed, with:

yum install yum-priorities

Then edit /etc/yum.repos.d/varnish.repo adding a line "priority=1"

To be safe, run "yum clean all", then when you next try "yum install varnish" you should get the version from varnish.repo rather than Amazon's default.
