Sooner or later everyone needs to install a package that is not included on the official installation CDs/DVD. Until now I just used rpmseek.com and Rpmfind.Net but of course this is far from optimal for security and compatibility to reasons.

So what is the recommended way to get and install "non official" packages that are not part of the repository?!

Thorsten

http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories .. and search if the package you want doesn't already exist in such third-party repositories .. Otherwise, try to find an existing SRPM that can be rebuild and/or submit a spec file ;-)
