Hi all,

A question that has scratched at my grey cell for a time.....

There are apps in repos & there are more recent versions on their homepages or in Source Forge - how and when do the updated versions getincorporated into the repos?And the other side of the same question.... If I install/build/compileor whatever one of these updated versions into my F10, will yum & co beable to keep tabs on it or must I keep a running watch on the page I gotit from?And.... if I find an RPM on a non-Fedora site, what are likely/possibleside-effect consequences of installing it??


Thanks

Dave
