Hi folks.
I'm trying to find two packages Plptools and Kpsion which will allow me to connect my Psion S5 to my FC5 box. I have these repositories enabled in in yum: core, extras, legacy, update, livna and livna updates. Doing a search amongst those repositories does not find either of the packages. If I do a search on rpmfind I get a choice of, other, suse,altlinux and rh7. Which one would be the best / easiest to install on my fc5 box, or does any one know where I can find fc5 specific versions of these files. Is there any more repositories that I'm missing?

Why not grab the source at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=8797 and build a new RPM for it?

Actually, I just looked and there is a spec file in the tarball. You should be able to build your own RPM issuing the command:

rpmbuild -ba plptools.spec

Once you've set up your rpmbuild directory structure, of course. See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines for some good info about building packages.
