With FC5 coming out on Monday, I'll be doing a few re-installations.<br>This time around I'd like to get my yum repositories strait and without<br>complications. Unfortunately, there seems to be some confusion<br>regarding enabling ATrpms.
<br><br>I would like to enable atrpms, along with the RPMForge repositories for<br>my 3rd party software, however Stanton-finely warns against it just<br>above on this page:<br><a href="http://stanton-finley.net/fedora_core_4_installation_notes.html#Yum">
http://stanton-finley.net/fedora_core_4_installation_notes.html#Yum</a><br><br>which I guess is based on this information<br><a href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/JohnMahowald/ATrpmsWarning">http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/JohnMahowald/ATrpmsWarning
</a><br><br>which seems pretty strong. However, the atrpms page maintains that it's<br>completely compatible with many of the non-livna repositories. Well,<br>the technically say that they are in "cooperation," which doesn't
<br>necessarily mean that they are compatible.<br><a href="http://atrpms.net/repos/">http://atrpms.net/repos/</a><br><br>However, according to what Axel has said on this list, the only way to<br>reliably update myth is through enabling the entire atrpms repo and doing
<br>yum update<br>yum update myth\* is very bad and can result in problems and therefore<br>shouldn't be used<br><br>So what does one do? These people on the fedora sites seem to say that<br>atrpms is incompatible with the *core* fedora distribution and "is not
<br>advised." However, the atrpms site seems to indicate the contrary, and<br>that is is compatible with RPMForge and the like. Furthermore, Axel<br>maintains that the only proper way to update myth is to have the entire
<br>repository enabled in yum.<br><br>What have people been doing? Is enabling atrpms entirely not as<br>dangerous as people make it out to be, or should I just forget atrpms<br>and build from source?<br><br>Dylan<br>_______________________________________________
