And if this is making the FAQ, it should be made clear that: Dag, newrpms, atrpms, freshrpms are fully compatible with each other (info from http://freshrpms.net/links) Fedora.us, livna, jpackage, flash is yet another compatible lot Don't forget to add a link to http://www.fedora.us/wiki/RepositoryMixingProblems And alas, Dag, and the rest of the repos, I'm sure there's light at the end of the tunnel and if we all forget our differences just for a bit, the Extras thing will be a bigger, greater, reality (no point inter-repo-"fighting", when our goal is to have a great number of packages, when we can truly say, "we package the universe") Warmest regards -- Colin Charles, byte@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.bytebot.net/ "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." -- Mohandas Gandhi
