So ive been mixing repos..

Usually I am all for choice and I admire all the apps and choices we have. Gnome vs KDE? Heck I use and like both. But this is one case that I strongly urge everyone, unless you have a very specific reason not to, please, please use Livna over Fresh. As Leigh said, I havent found anything I need yet that is not in Livna. If there are packages please find out who to contact and let them know. THIS HAS GOT TO END! This is just silly and has gone on long enough. I have nothing against Fresh, I used them successfully with FC5 due mainly to Stantons advice. Stanton has since moved on to Ubuntu, due mostly I believe to this very problem. I use Livna now. That is where all the drivers and codecs are anyway, they are the fork supported by FC and will probably be the winner if this crap ever comes to an end. If everyone would just use them now we can put a stop to this foolishness ourselves. And I sincerely apologize to any Fresh RPM personell or fans, but this has gone on long enough. This fight has screwed up way too many systems!

Email Livna and ask if they could include it.



spot on JN4OldSchool

Fresh doesnt supply Myth either does it? Dont you have to get the Mythtv project from ATrpm's or has this changed? At any rate, still use Livna except for this package or the one or two others you would have to get elsewhere.

Update its on the wish list at Livna

http://rpm.livna.org/rlowiki/WishList

rpm.livna.org Packages WishList

* mythtv
* ipw3945 (thl is working on it already)
* ivtv
* cinelerra
*

gstreamer-pitfdll (See http://ronald.bitfreak.net/pitfdll and freshrpms srpm: http://zod.freshrpms.net/rpm.html?id=141)

Note: this packages can not be easily packaged due to licensing problems:

* acroread (maybe we can get a license from adobe in the long term)

I also prefer the xine from freshrpms as this one can play rmvb files and the sound comes through. I actually had updated xine to the livna version and it lost the ability to play xvid files.

we could all just use Ubunta

or PCLOS. PCLOS has an up-to-date version of Cinelerra in its repos and I need that.

But, by comparison pclos to FC, pclos is trailing edge - some would say that has stability advantages but I have to say I find FC6 very stable.

cgrant: you could request cinelerra in the Fedora Extras wishlist: See http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/WishList

Some packagers, myself inclued, do look at the wishlist from time to time and try to give people what they want.

Freshrpm has Cinelerra. What I said was as a follow on to the suggestion to use Ubuntu in that you could also use pclos as it has Cinelerra and that would be a requirement for me. FC6 already has it covered via freshrpms and, I think, Dries. But it would be nice to see it in extras.

I certainly was not having ago at the FC packagers. I suppose I was having a go at the Ubuntu one's though

I'm pretty sure the attachment is related to mixing repos related to what I said about xine a couple of posts above.

No worries. A removal and reinstall of amarok fixed the problem.

fc6 still playes ok with apt?
