There is now a new repository containing some extra packages. This is
largely due to the epel repository port being incomplete. Until I have a
chance to do some major tidying up, I created a new extras repository
for packages that aren't a part of the core upstream EL6 distro.
The repo files are here:
http://ftp.redsleeve.org/pub/yum/rsel6.repo
http://ftp.redsleeve.org/pub/yum/epel6.repo
http://ftp.redsleeve.org/pub/yum/extra.repo
Replace whatever you have in /etc/yum.repos.d with those and you should
have access to all the repositories, with primary location pointing at
the fast mirror (as opposed to the slow primary site, which is commented
out).
Since the extras repository is often in a state of flux while other
package building is going on, if you are going to use it you may need to:
yum --skip-broken
The main addition in the extras repository at the moment is mplayer and
it's dependencies (unless you ever tried building mplayer, you probably
don't have a good idea of how far it's dependency rabbit hole goes).
ION, I have recently acquired a Samsung Chromebook, which in turn lead
me to blow the dust off my Toshiba AC100, and do some polishing and
image updating. I hope to post a wiki article over the weekend on how to
get RedSleeve onto both of those, with all the required kernel and OS
image components.
As a consequence of this, I will also be working on updating the xorg
packages to a more recent upstream version, in order to get the
accelerated Exynos drivers to build for the Chromebook.
