Have a few questions. I've been using FRESHRPMS for many years and understand the repositories are merging into RPMFORGE. I haven't seen any reference on the FRESHRPMS home page for FC4. Has the merge already occurred? If not, what is the proper way to use? It appeared that for FC3, FRESHRPMS had its packages in the same way it has in the past, but DAG had it's packages, plus the FRESHRPMS packages, but the FRESHRPMS packages were named differently. When I would use DAG and FRESHRPMS using a YUM UPDATE, YUM would want to replace my FRESHRPMS packages with the DAG named version. So I would end up "deactivating" the DAG repo except when I wanted to download a specific package. Is this the way it is suppose to work? Until the repos are merged should the overlap be eliminated? I'm not griping, I think the repos are a great resource and am thankful they exist. Just trying to figure out the easiest/best way to use. Thanks!
