If you are using fedora linux, here are a few additional repositories that you might want to install in addition to the official repository and the installation instruction.
- Livna rpm
- Download the installer from here
- Install the repository
- rpm -Uvh livna-release-8.rpm
- freshrpms
- Download the installer from here
- Install the repository
- rpm -Uvh freshrpms-release-1.1-1.fc.noarch.rpm
- atrpms
- Import the atrpms signing key
- rpm --import http://ATrpms.net/RPM-GPG-KEY.atrpms
- Create atrpms.conf in /etc/yum.repos.d/
- touch /etc/yum.repos.d/atrpms.conf
- Add the below lines to the atrpms.conf file
You can start using yum to install any software and yum will pick source from these new repositories straight away.
Hi,
ReplyDeletenice, I wanted additional repositories but couldn't find anyone as good as those.
Just a tip: you can install the rpm with just a command (instead of one to download and other to install them)
for instance:
rpm -Uvh http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrpms/fedora/linux/8/freshrpms-release/freshrpms-release-1.1-1.fc.noarch.rpm
regards,
Yeah, that is also a very easy way to do it rather than download it first. Thanx
ReplyDeleteHi! It's very good to have a page like this! If just anybody would keep a page with several places where one can get repo's. Like for example I found adobe-release just accidentally.
ReplyDeletein Fedora 10 use "touch /etc/yum.repos.d/atrpms.repo" if with "yum repolist" doesn't appear any atrpms repo file.
ReplyDeleteAll repos in FC10 are managed as name.repo
kind regards
I have a FC10 and want to change KDE4 for KDE from FC8.
ReplyDeleteDo you know how to do that
