What sort of problems does that "overlap" cause, and how does one work around them?
They both contain some of the same packages. You may run into a situation where a
package is updated in one repo but you have another package from the other repo which
is still dependent on the older version of that package.
So, you may find it necessary to use the "exclude" directive in a repo's config file
so you only get it from the other repo.
Sounds easy enough in principle. Where do I find the full syntax and usage of the
"exclude" directive?
man dnf.conf under the section "OPTIONS FOR BOTH [MAIN] AND REPO". The directive
is actually excludepkgs.
I'm about to make my upgrade. Knowing I can activate another repo to provide
makemkv--and keep it up-to-date--should make my life a little easier, on balance.
What's the best way to activate the negativo repo when doing a clean install?
That information is available on the https://negativo17.org website. I would simply
"activate" their repo after an install or after an upgrade.
Sorry its been so long since replying, I've been doing other things.
Just further to what Ed has said, the negativo web site has a
fedora-negativo17.repo file that you can download that will activate all
the repos that negativo17 has.
regards,
Steve
