John a écrit :

I do not and did not mean to be offensive to Dag, and I apologize if I
was--it just seemed like an issue that would be affecting a lot more people
than just me and I wanted to see what others were doing about it.
So far I've not heard what that is.

I second that. Dag is doing great work, and for desktop users, CentOS wouldn't be the same without RPMForge. However, this update has been botched up. Existing systems can be left in the present state by putting an 'exclude=wxGTK amule vlc audacity' line in /etc/yum.conf. But when installing a new system, 'yum install vlc audacity' does not work. This is a worry for me, as I install desktop systems professionally, and I use both programs on client's desktops (yes, amule too, when the client wants it... :o)). As far as I'm concerned, I worked around it by simply rebuilding wxGTK (2.6), amule, vlc and audacity from SRPM and putting them in my own repo with a higher priority. This took the best part of an afternoon.

My suggestion to Dag (with all respect taken): why not create a [rf-testing] repo for the critical stuff, a bit like [kbsingh]?

I repeat, since this is important: please do not take offense. Shit happens, I know.

Cheers,

Niki
