Given the number of packages being moved to Extras, and the number of
people who are complaining about "I did a 'yum install $package' and it
didn't find it", may I suggest creating an RPM in the main Fedora
repository, named something like "Fedora-extras", that just installs the
needed files and config changes to activate the extras repository? Then
people can do a "yum install Fedora-extras; yum install $package" and
get the extras.
Then this could be added to the FAQs.
I think that the issue is actually knowing what is available. There
are new packages being added all the time.
I like using Yumex as I can search for either features or by name.
Yea, I know that I can get a list and do this from the CLI, but
sometimes a nice graphical interface allows me to browse allot quicker
than scrolling through a list on a terminal screen.
