<div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Conflicts aren't caused by FUD, they are caused by different versions of the same-named package existing in different repositories mentioned in your yum configuration. </blockquote><div> I completely agree with you. I think a more appropriate way of say it is that different repos pack applications differently, and which repos to choose depends on the user requirements. For instance, if one wants MythTV, he or she should go to ATrpms. </div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">The repositories that do that have their reasons for doing it, but if you include them along with anything else that doesn't stay coordinated you are likely to have conflicts. </blockquote></div> I have almost 10GB of packages installed. From livna I only have: akode-extras-2.0.1-3.lvn6.1 audacity-nonfree-1.2.4-0.3.b.lvn6.2 djbfft-0.76-6.lvn6 k3b-extras-nonfree-0.12.17-3.lvn6 kdemultimedia-extras-nonfree-3.5.5-1.lvn6 mjpegtools-libs-1.8.0-7.lvn6 y4mscaler-9.0-3.lvn6 But this does not mean everybody should install packages the way a do, nor that the packages from livna are not good. -- Paulo Roma Cavalcanti LCG - UFRJ
