Hello, I'm running centos5. There's some rpms that exist on fedora that are not in centos5 in it's repos. I was wondering if it was possible to set up yum to get only selected packages in source rpm form ou of a fedora repo and install them on centos? In that way they could be recompiled for centos5. Thanks. Dave.
Sure ... if you add this as a repo:
http://ftp.linux.ncsu.edu/pub/fedora/linux/updates/7/SRPMS/
Then you can download SRPMS from there.
I dunno, but I think I'd rather manually download any wrong-distro SPRMs and rebuild them by hand.
