Software installs from PLF repos for 2008.1

[menendez]

I am running Mandriva 2008.1 Spring and have a question regarding software installs off of PLF repos for 2008.1

 

I can't seem to fnd things I had found in the repos for earlier Mandriva versions. Stuff like libdvdcss2, win32-codecs, dvdrip and k9copy.

 

Also, with the new way easy-urpmi works I can't tell which PLF repo's I am pointing to. How do I tell that? How can I change it if I want?

 

Thanks, Jose

All those packages you mention are present on the PLF repo's for 2008.1

 

You could try using the Switch to Manual Mirror Selection option if you want to select which mirrors you want. (If I'm understanding you correctly)

 

[edit] If using MCC to install/look for software, make sure you have both dropdown boxes, (upper left), set appropriately, set both to all.

There are no 2008.1 win32-codecs at the moment. All that is available is the 2007.1 one.

Well, technically I guess, however they do show up in the 2008.1 PLF repositories, so they are there.

I manually changed my mirror selection to:

Official: France (ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net)

PLF: France (ftp://ftp.univ-orleans.fr)

 

 

I did find them all. I must have been making some stupid mistake.
