Rather than edit (and re-edit) /etc/yum.repos.d/atrpms.repo, just add
this option to the yum command line:
--enablerepo=atrpms-testing
so the package(s) from atrpms-testing get installed like:
yum -y --enablerepo=atrpms-testing install <insert-package-names-here>
This way, the atrpms-testing repository is only enabled for the
duration of the yum command where it is needed.
