I've already decided to wipe everything out and start clean, in order to eliminate some repo mixing problems I've been having. If I read things right, I should be able to use Fedora Extras, Livna, JPackage, and a "Flash" repo for most, if not all, of my open-source software needs. For the rest, I'll get the rpm's or the tarballs.
What I need to know is how well coordinated the repos will be with FC4's projected release. Right now, I don't see any way to tell whether Extras or Livna will be "ready" for a yum or apt request using a $releasever of 4. If they're not ready by June 13, then how long should I wait?
Also: will the FreshRPMS/Dag/Dries/Axel family of repos be compatible with the Extras/Livna family or not? If I may so observe, the continued incompatibilities between the two families serves no one's interest, as far as I can see--least of all that of the Fedora Core user.
