Following Fabian's blog post re: RPMForge being rebuilt for EL5, I've a question:
Are there any compatibility problems between RPMForge and EPEL? In other words, if I enabled EPEL previously, will I be able to enable RPMForge as well without running into trouble?
RPMForge and EPEL have several conflicting packages, so yes you may run into trouble.
A distinct possibility, but at least both repos have made commitments at working together to sort out any identifiable incompatibilities, when/if they arise.
EPEL has stated that playing nicely with other repos is not a goal of theirs.
Huh? In fact, work is underway to codify the opposite: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/RepositoryCollaboration
