Dag's FAQ at:
http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/FAQ.php#D2
says:
Most repositories should already work well together. If you do find
a problem, the best thing to get this fixed is by reporting this to
both repository maintainers. If it is a genuine problem, it will be
fixed promptly.
The repositories I mix myself are: FreshRPMS, Dries, NewRPMS and
PlanetCCRMA.
I'm an apt-get user, and I'd like to have the "most complete" set of
pointers to repositories that is reasonable. Dag's mix sounds good to
me :-)
The problem is that I'm not sure what the correct additional entries in
my /etc/apt/sources.list.d should be in order to mimic Dag's mix.
I have CentOS 5.2 installed, and the only entry in
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/rpmforge.list is:
repomd http://apt.sw.be redhat/el$(VERSION)/en/$(ARCH)/dag
Similarly, my os.list currently has just the following lines uncommented:
repomd http://mirror.centos.org centos/$(VERSION)/os/$(ARCH)
repomd http://mirror.centos.org centos/$(VERSION)/updates/$(ARCH)
repomd http://mirror.centos.org centos/$(VERSION)/extras/$(ARCH)
repomd http://mirror.centos.org centos/$(VERSION)/fasttrack/$(ARCH)
Would someone on the list be willing to share *what* they put into
*which* files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d that allows them to see the
other repositories? If there is a link to such a config already, that's
cool. If not, I'm curious if there's a philosophical reason for not
making an explicit "best practice" (or, perhaps, "common practice") list
of repositories people "should" use.
Sort of a related questions: in general I haven't been using yum, just
because I prefer using apt. yum has an extension that supports a set of
"priorities" that I don't completely comprehend. Does apt support
"priorities"? Does it even need them? How do you properly configure
yum so that, if you *have* to use it for some reason, you won't
confuse/trash apt in the future?
Thanks!
