It took several tries, but now I'm using at-stable, dag, dries, and freshrpms. (I abandoned newrpms, as that's a testing repo itself, as its keeper freely admits.) The new libraries for mplayer work fine--I tested mplayer against a wide variety of videos (after grabbing the bz tarball containing the codecs!), and it played them flawlessly. I also have yum configured to use your repo. (When are you going to write appropriate lines for up2date? Or do you not want to risk that now?) Temlakos
