Additions to Odiecolon.repo
I have added to Odiecolon.repo a few applications:
- gnomad2 2.9.4 (although I can’t know for sure it works: I’ve made my Samsung YP-U3J MTP-free, and it’s seen as a regular USB stick)
- speedcrunch 0.10 (the 0.10.1 tarball has broken translations)
- gnome-mastermind 0.3.1 (homepage)
…and a copy of Sagasu, just to make people use less and less RPMforge. Please, don’t ask for catfish, as I don’t like it.
What I failed to build: the unofficial GNOME equivalent of KTeaTime, an applet called… Teatime. Versions 3.0 to 3.3 have heavy Ruby and Ruby-GNOME2 dependencies, which I’ve found exaggerated and hard to satisfy or build on EL5. The last release written in C, version 2.8.0, builds and installs, but it fails to load the images even when correctly installed. That was a mystery. Older versions won’t even build.
P.S.: Oh, and I am also short of inspiration on how to provide build RedNotebook.
As a last info, I’m adding a note about the way odiecolon-repositories-5-3.noarch.rpm installs rpmforge.repo:
The installed copy of rpmforge.repo is set to use the local file mirrors-rpmforge instead of the online file mirrors-rpmforge. The reasons for that? The online list of mirrors has too many mirrors commented out too often, just because they are out of sync for 2-3 days. As RPMforge is not a dynamic repository, this is absurd and it affects the load of the main server apt.sw.be and the user experience. You can edit the repo file to change this behavior.
I remind you that my take is that, if possible, you should use RPMforge only for the following:
yum --enablerepo=rpmforge install gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-ugly gstreamer-ffmpeg yum --enablerepo=rpmforge install mplayer mplayer-fonts mplayer-skins mplayerplug-in smplayer yum --enablerepo=rpmforge install vlc
