[ydl-gen] RPM Forge and ATRPMS


Hi,

I'm wanting to port RPMForge and ATRPMS to ydl.
Has anyone tried something like this or do you usually just get the stuff you want?

I just rebuild the SRPMSs as and when I need them. I have a few YDL 
servers so I did actually build a local repo that I share over the 
network to make updating/installing easier.

I have wondered whether terrasoft would sponsor a community based repo, 
or whether they would actually extend the amount of standard packages in 
their own repos (there are a lot of very commonly required packages that 
are missing fromYDL!).

We have talked about a community based 'extras' repo, and that might still be 
in the works, not sure.  We would certainly need community involvement for 
that endeavor to succeed. It's a lot of resources to commit and we're a small 
company, although due to recent events, there could be some exciting new 
things on the horizon - stay tuned on that one.

 WRT RPMForge, I do use their packages. Unfortunately, the legality of some of 
the packages fall into grey areas in some juristictions, and Terra Soft can't 
play any role in it for these reasons. However, if you are interested in 
RPMForge for YDL I strongly suggest you join the mailing list and even offer 
to volunteer to help build packages or test them. Many of the RPMForge folks 
also hang out on #centos and #centos-social (best to ask on -social since 
this really isn't CentOS related). 

For you Yanks out there, don't forget to vote on Tuesday!

Re: [ydl-gen] Help for a newbie

Excuse me, Erick.  I should have read the details you posted more  
thoroughly.
According to what is posted here:
http://www.terrasoftsolutions.com/support/hardware/apple-powermac- 
g5.shtml

You should expect trouble with the ATI Radeon X800 XT graphics card.

All the best...

[ydl-gen] PS3 Wireless WEP


 Does the curent release of YDL still require an Open System WEP rather than a shared key?

While I can switch, I have a lot of devices to configure if so.

Thanks

[ydl-gen] Error subscribing to powerstation-owners list

I tried to subscribe to the powerstation-owners list  and got a “You must supply a valid email address” error, even though I entered on the subscription form the exact same address I used to successfully subscribe to this one.  Has anyone else had this problem?  I suspect there may be an error in the javascript that validates the form.

 

Sorry for the slightly off-topic message.

 

Regards,

 

Tom
