IMHO they should think of Fedora Alternatives as well. Extras repositories should never replace Fedora Core components. Alternatives are the ones that should. Sure, keeping extras in one repository and alternatives in another, while avoiding the extras from depending on alternatives, may get tricky, but I'd rather not use a repo that will force me (or at least get the RHN applet to keep telling me) to replace a package from the Core with something else. -- Alexandre Oliva Enjoy Guarana', see http://www.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ Red Hat GCC Developer aoliva@{redhat.com, gcc.gnu.org} CS PhD student at IC-Unicamp oliva@{lsd.ic.unicamp.br, gnu.org} Free Software Evangelist Professional serial bug killer
