Repo's that work well with Scientific Linux
Adobe
Atrpms
Dag
Epel
Note1: Dag and Atrpm's usually play nice together. But sometimes having Dag
and/or Atrpms enabled at the same time as EPEL causes some conflicts.
Sometimes not.
I believe we are also quite compatible with
centos-extras
But I haven't had time to check them out as much.

Hi,
When you install SL5.2, in /etc/yum.repos.d I expect you to
find, as for SL5.1, the following set of files which I interpret as
referring to "recommended (and compatible) repos":
atrpms.repo, flash.repo, sl-contrib.repo, sl-fastbugs.repo,
sl-security.repo, sl-testing.repo, dag.repo, sl-bugfix-52.repo,
sl-debuginfo.repo, sl.repo, sl-srpms.repo
The repos are enabled by having "enabled=1" instead of "enabled=0"
lines in their corresponding files. Only the sl and sl-security
ones are enabled by default.
These days I also always use the epel repo for my SL servers, which is
available as a yum install from SL5 series servers:
# rpm -q yum-conf-epel
yum-conf-epel-5-1.noarch
For the SL4 ones, I just grab the epel RPM from fedora:
# rpm -qf /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo
epel-release-4-6
Maybe Connie or Troy could make a yum-conf-epel for SL4 servers?
Regards,
Michael.

Hello all,
I used SL Linux a few years ago and now I'm back, hopefully for a
longer time than before. I've searched the list for the following
question but didn't find a clear answer, so here it goes and please
apologize if the question was answered before: what are the (most)
recommended (and compatible) repos to use with SL 5.2 distribution?
(not considering the official ones, for updates and security patches,
provided by SL team). I've seen that livna only supports Fedora and
I'm not very familliar with rpm-based repos. Others I found where DAG
and ATrpms. I don't know if I remember correct, but I think that last
time I've enabled a non-oficial repository, compatible with RHEL, and
succesfully used it with SL.
Thank you,
