How safe/dangerous is it to mix repos? I recently added the kde-redhat to my yum config. Now I'm seeing updates for kde and Qt in the kde-redhat repo, is it safe to apply them?
I'm not an expert, but I do know this one.
You need to check with the repository. An example would be that downloads from Fedora.US can not be mixed with FreshRPMs. This information is posted on their websites, along with the repositories that they can be mixed with. These 2 repositories place files required files in different directories.
I have had issues in the past between atrpms and other repositories so I don't use atrpms anymore.
