Finally got Fedora 8 working on my laptop now, so that's cool

Just wondering, what repos are available now? I see that freshrpms stopped at Fedora 7 - probably because of linking in with rpmforge. So, livna seems to be the only one covering Fedora 8 now, and I don't see any mention of Fedora 8 in rpmforge.

What's everyone else using? (all you Fedora users out there).

Livna, ATrpms and Freshrpms should be available although you might not need any other repo than Livna now.

I checked freshrpms, but:

http://freshrpms.net/

here it lists only for Fedora 7. Unless that's not important?

Probably I'll just add the livna for now. I have a feeling that freshrpms will stop soon because it will be a part of rpmforge along with dag's and dries rpms as well.

I would go for livna, I have had no problems with it yet. Looking at the freshrpms mailing lists, it appears that the packages are there, but have not been announced. As far as I can remember, the rpm providing the yum config for the repo is release independent, so it will automatically pick the F8 repo if you are using F8.

OK. I'm using livna now since I couldn't find anything else, and heard that atrpms was a little unstable and could cause problems. I used to use freshrpms before, and removed livna because the two together were giving me a headache and dependency problem when it was trying to install packages from both repos

Livna will do, but I hear from the Fedora Forum that there will be a merger of repos for Fedora 9 - we shall see.

Yes, RPM Fusion, I reckon that it's a safe bet for Fedora 9, whether or not it's a good thing is yet to be seen

Switched to freshrpms as livna didn't have a package I wanted. The link on freshrpms page is for Fedora 7 for installing the package, but you can get it for version 8 by modifying the url. I did it like this:



The original url I copied from the webpage was:



However, I had to remove the livna packages I had installed first to stop dependency problems when I removed the livna repo before adding freshrpms:



parses the results from the rpm -qa with all lvn rpms which belong to livna and then removes them.

Yes, livna and freshrpms will be merged into rpmfusion at some point, I use livna now on all my box's.
