mapi Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Hallo, mandriva.99k.org server is down from December 2007, so I decided to create a new site-repository for Mandriva 2008.0 i586: http://rpmlinux.org Here you can find and download RPM not packaged in the Official Mandriva repository.

Ixthusdan Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Nice site. Could you say something contrasting your site from Seer of Souls, MDE, or PLF? I am just curious as to where your stuff fits in. Also, do you have an ftp link for incorporation into urpmi? It would be nice for you to post it.

mapi Posted February 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Thanks: mine it's a small site... :P Now it's based only with urpmi, you can see it here: http://rpmlinux.org/readme-first Please configure official sources and copy & paste the entire line: urpmi.addmedia --update rpmlinux.org http://rpmlinux.org/repository/2008.0 with hdlist.cz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dexter11 Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Why don't you team up with one of the existing sites or directly Mandriva? What made you make your own repo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reiver_Fluffi Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Why don't you team up with one of the existing sites or directly Mandriva? What made you make your own repo? Autonomy and pride could be two reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexter11 Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Common sense could be a reason for the opposite (not making your own repo). But I was asking about his motivation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reiver_Fluffi Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 (edited) Common sense could be a reason for the opposite (not making your own repo). What is the underlying rationale of this common sense? Common sense could work in both ways, common sense could tell you that by joining an existing repo you could reach a larger audience quicker and easier but at a cost to individual reputation. Whereas on the flipside, common sense could also tell you that you could maintain independence, work harder and longer to obtain individual reputation and prestige. But I was asking about his motivation. Autonomy and Pride can be motivators. By maintaining his independence he has full control to do what he wants, when he wants. He doesn't need to adhere to anyone elses agenda but his own. These values are known to motivate individuals, in fact they fit in with Maslow's "Self Esteem" need on his hierarchy of needs.

Whereas on the flipside, common sense could also tell you that you could maintain independence, work harder and longer to obtain individual reputation and prestige. Common sense could tell you that by working with other guys you could do a bigger repo therefore a more visited one than just by yourself. So if you're doing it for fame then it's actually wiser to team up with somebody.Working with somebody doesn't mean you won't have individual reputation. Joining an already existing repo has also the benefit that your work won't disappear when you had enough of making rpms. You can also lure some other people to make more and better packages. Common sense could tell you that. But the main thing I was first thinking about is that these repos are not built against each other. So having fewer repos means more stable system. Autonomy and Pride can be motivators. By maintaining his independence he has full control to do what he wants, when he wants. He doesn't need to adhere to anyone elses agenda but his own. These values are known to motivate individuals, in fact they fit in with Maslow's "Self Esteem" need on his hierarchy of needs. Talking about his motivations with you is pointless IMHO so no comment on this part. Or are you mapi Reiver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reiver_Fluffi Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Talking about his motivations with you is pointless Am I to assume that by dismissing the discussion as "pointless" now, you have nothing to counter that arguement? :huh: Or are you mapi Reiver?

Greg2 Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Please translate the above word into English please. :unsure: I believe mapi is the OP's nick, do you understand now? :D Why don't you guys quit arguing about his motives, and just thank him for his work? @ mapi, Thanks for your work on this repository, it looks good. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reiver_Fluffi Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 I believe mapi is the OP's nick, do you understand now? :D I think you are right there, I thought that mapi was meant to be an adjective of some sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neddie Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 :unsure: Whatever. mapi, adamw asked you about the source code (see here) - are you going to put source code rpms on this new version of the site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
