BTW, the web page makes no mentio of > fedora-extras. Just a matter of time? I'd better let Dag answer that one himself. The thing is, the procedures by which some sets of repos work is significantly different than the way others work in terms of their quality assurance, testing etc. If these are not compatible with each other then the repos end up producing their own versions of packages also provided by other repos, and that is the road to incompatbility. So the repos generally indicate which repos they are compatible with (and in some cases, e.g. livna.org, which repos they *require*) and don't worry about any other repo. Regarding fedora-extras, I think it's likely to be compatible with Fedora Core itself, *maybe* fedora.us, but nothing else. Paul. -- Paul Howarth <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
