I've avoided ATrpms lately, because some of the packages there didn't seem to work (and conflicted with other packages we were using). RPMforge packages, on the other hand, seem to work well for us. The packages I mentioned above are easy enough to build that the spec file is really simple, so it really wasn't that much work. > > I also recently discovered the EPEL repository that is run by the Fedora > project.
