Ric No DAG/RPMforge, either. The Big Three of the third-party repos are DAG, ATrpms, and Freshrpms. Mix these three with lots of care, and excludes/priorities galore. Note that I don't think any of these is doing anything essentially wrong, either. They just package different, but intersecting, sets of packages, with different versions for different needs and sometimes in different splits and different install locations. For instance, try some nagios, nagios-plugins, nagio-plugin-nrpe, and nrpe mixing. Go ahead, try it. I found the hard way you had best have the same repo on both the nagios box and all the nrpe boxes, as the different repos have different nrpe versions, and they don't play well together. -- Lamar Owen www.pari.edu
