Is there a single source for the multimedia applications that are not included with Centos 5: RealPlayer, Mplayer, mplayerplug-in, Acrobat Reader, Java, libdvdcss, etc.?
Let me add my question too: how safe it is to use the extra ATrpms, DAG and Dries repositories from SL5?
1. ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/extra/atrpms/ has for SL5 ('el5'): 915resolution, divx4linux, ffmpeg, ipw*, kernel-suspend2(!), madwifi, ndiswrapper, nvidia (7184, 8776, 9629, 9746)...
2. ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/extra/dag/packages/ has for SL5 (el5) some of the previous packages, plus: acroread-5.0.10, mozilla-acroread-5.0.10, flash-plugin-9.0.31.0, gstreamer-plugins-bad/ugly/ffmpeg, ...
3. ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/extra/dries/packages/ has for SL5 (el5): not much, they're still on SL4 as of yet.
There seems to be such a duplication, triplication, multimplication: a) between Dag/Dries/RpmForge/ATrpms; b) between original repos and selective copies on friendly repos (SL); c) between SL and CentOS extra repos.
Don't shoot.
