I am not completely sure that I agree with the above. Sometimes you have to break eggs to cook them. Some packaging requires updated

certain base packages, then they might have to be replaced by a repo to get other packages installed...you takes your chances. Good
luck
getting things like mythtv installed without updating some of the
'core'
packages...which is why I think (rather unfairly), Axel Thimms gets a lot of heat for his repo...because he is actually making edge packages work and sometimes he has to break eggs.
Broken eggs? A good example is on the centos list http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2006-March/020471.html
That is a SURE lot of eggs to break for just mythtv.
I think the larger issue between Fedora repositories was standardization of naming that provided a logical system for one
repository to
evaluate its versioning against another and that seems to have
gotten worked
out in FC-4 repos.
Craig, where is the KDE-Redhat repo, I'm not a fan of KDE but if they have a newer SAMBA, I'll see whether it can quiten the logs.
kde-redhat.sourceforge.net
Arhh i recognize that repo as one of Axel Thims. I wouldn't touch anything from ATRMS/kde-redhat.sourceforge.net with a barge pole.
On the subject of Fedora since i haven't touched FC4, they may have ironed out the "repository hell" situation.
