You got some URL's or even some search terms or are we just suppose to spider the archives? I just spent some time on your site (having just gone through this nightmare with the Zaptel lkms package) and I can't find it. I could definitely use a three-line recipe that will update chunks from ATrpms which catch the kernel modules and DON'T attempt to dick with the rest of my system. Funny... I don't have this problem with Livna and I'm downloading more kernel modules from Livna than ATrpms. And I can't just do a general "update" from ATrpms either since it tries to update half the known universe when everything is already up to date and I've only installed Asterisk/Zaptel and MythTV from ATrpms. With Livna and Extras enabled, everything on my system is up to date. Enable ATrpms and do an update, and half the time it tells me it wants to update dozens of packages that I never installed from ATrpms in the first place and I don't WANT updated from ATrpms. The rest of the time I get some failure like I see now... : - several cycles of dependency resolution and transaction checking... --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: ocaml = 3.09.2-1.fc5 for package: labltk --> Processing Dependency: lame = 3.96.1-6.lvn5 for package: lame-mp3x --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: ocaml = 3.09.2-1.fc5 is needed by package labltk Error: Missing Dependency: lame = 3.96.1-6.lvn5 is needed by package lame-mp3x (I'm looking at most of what it wanted to update and I'm coming to the conclusion that ATrpms and Livna have never learned to play nicey nicey in the same sandbox). None of this stuff was part of anything I ever installed from ATrpms. I have to be real careful and selective about anything I install from that repository. I've been in dependency hell too often after making that mistake and the above is an illustration why. If I am totally up to date with the other repositories, why in the name of Budda does ATrpm try to update stuff that was never installed from ATrpms in the first place and then dick up the dependencies???? This is all I have installed from ATrpms...

On top of all that, it didn't even properly update one of the packages (spandsp) based on, what should have been, a dependency from asterisk. I had to go back and manually update that to correct for some problems with the recent Asterisk update. I need a KYFHO option for yum and ATrpms to only update packages installed from ATrpms and KYFHO any packages which were NOT installed from ATrpms. Maybe one of your "three line scripts" has a qualifier to only update packages from ATrpms that ends with .at$ on the installed system? Now that would be nice. Mike -- Michael H.
