Just creating RPMS i think, but check out rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx, they should know better. > I am concerned because it seems like everyone is using it anyways...

FreshRPMS are *very* safe to use. I've used it since RHL 7.3 and don't remember *ANY* problems with broken packages or server down etc. I only remember that when maintainer (Mathias) goes to holiday there are no new packages. :-( > I HIGHLY recomend that http://fedora.redhat.com/ posts a section for > TRUSTED rpm repositories or the repositories themself have a specific > icon that says Fedora Safe or something of that matter. They can all > use the same icon or banner... It would be nice... Just an idea ;) Packages are usualy signed... I don't think if this (FreshRPMS) can be merged into Fedora, due to funny things like not including mp3 support but still everybody need it and still everybody uses it and if somebody ask's "What about MP3 for Fedora?" everybody will answer - go apt them from freshrpms.net - that's it.
