And if this is making the FAQ, it should be made clear that:
Dag, newrpms, atrpms, freshrpms are fully compatible with each other
(info from
http://freshrpms.net/links)
Please add planetccrma, dries, biorpms, jpackage, pyvault, spc,
kde-redhat, monkeyrpms and flash to that lot.
Fedora.us, livna, jpackage, flash is yet another compatible lot
Don't forget to add a link to
http://www.fedora.us/wiki/RepositoryMixingProblems
And alas, Dag, and the rest of the repos, I'm sure there's light at the
end of the tunnel and if we all forget our differences just for a bit,
the Extras thing will be a bigger, greater, reality
(no point inter-repo-"fighting", when our goal is to have a great number
of packages, when we can truly say, "we package the universe")
Let us know when you're ready :)
