Hi everyone! :-)
I just installed CentOS 6 on one of my desktop machines, and yum now tells me that some of my favorite apps are not present in any of the repositories I configured. To name a few: ktorrent, kile, krusader, pavucontrol, mplayerplug-in (or is it now gecko-mediaplayer), xine, xmms, and so on... All these apps were readily available for C5, and I used them happily.
I am mostly surprised with the absence of *any* torrent client, bar the rtorrent (which doesn't have a man page and I have no idea how to use it). Also kile, krusader and pavucontrol are quite basic and common apps...
The configured repositories are: base, updates, extras, rpmforge, elrepo, as reported by yum.
What am I missing?
I would also be grateful if anyone has a suggestion for a reasonable (and available) substitute for any of these apps. I usually prefer KDE4 apps, but will use anything that works. I found some (rtorrent, mozilla-vlc, gnome-volume-control), but I am not exactly thrilled with their quality, so I'm hoping someone has a better suggestion. Google didn't want to be my friend this time, all hits were related to C5... ;-)
TIA, :-) Marko

Maybe you wanted EPEL not elrepo? EPEL has at least ktorrent.

You probably definitely want EPEL, and also note that rpmforge has been rearranged into several sections, some of which aren't enabled by default in the stock rpmforge-release. This is also true in 5.x now but you may have installed your apps before the change.

And that rpmforge has been renamed to repoforge. Also, there's rpmfusion, which is good.

Thanks to everyone for suggestions. I configured EPEL, rpmfusion and ATrpms (using the priorities plugin wisely :-) ), and I'll see what I can dig up. Also, I guess that maybe it is just too early, and repoforge will eventually get populated with everything relevant. Kile and krusader are two main things that I'm still missing, but it's nothing urgent anyway... ;-)
Thanks again to all!
Best, :-) Marko
I have recompiled many missing apps for Desktop use.
You can find packages at http://rpms.plnet.rs/plnet-centos6-i386/ i http://rpms.plnet.rs/plnet-centos6-x86_64/ Source RPMs are in http://rpms.plnet.rs/plnet-centos6-srpms/
That is not official repo, just my effort to have all desired packages/apps I want on my Desktop. Most(almost all) packages should be signed, and I am preparing release package for easy install, and some organizing is due.
Most noteworthy packages are (at the moment): Firefox 7.0.1 Thunderbird 7.0.1 VLC 1.1.11 EPEL friendly (from Fuduntu) - not yet fully tested MythTV 0.24 Wine 1.3.24 Banshee 2.0.1 Krusader 2.3.0 gnome-netstatus-2.28.1 (missing network Gnome applet) Tomboy 1.2.2 LTSP 5.1.95 Gammu 1.26 /Wammu OBEX and Blueman packages For list of all downloaded packages please take a look for your self.
Notices: - It is not wise to use these repositories on production servers! - Do not use them if you are not comfortable with (some) unsigned packages. - Some packages might be unstable. Use it on your own risk. - Packages from plnet-downloaded are put there from other repositories or download sites, those who do not have their own repositories, for easy installing and avoiding search-download- install process. They are for now not regularly updated, but you are welcome to infor me if one of packages has newer version. - plnet-replace packages are newer (non-critical only) packages then those in base repository. - Almost all packages for now have "Packager" and other fields unchanged from original srpms. This is planed for later.
For now, you can use this for yum (watch for broken lines):
[plnet-compiled] name=Spec CentOS-$releasever - plnet-compiled - $releasever - $basearch baseurl=http://rpms.plnet.rs/plnet-centos6-$basearch/RPMS.plnet-compiled/ gpgcheck=0 enabled=1 priority=2

I use Vuze for bittorrent. Used to be called Azureus. Download here: http://azureus.sourceforge.net/download.php HTH.

Many of your apps don't seem to be readily available for C5; they were from third party repos. So maybe wait for these repos to catch-up...

As audacious is crashing at startup here, I've got back to xmms, found here: http://puias.math.ias.edu/wiki/YumRepositories6 (apparently it's down, I guess it's temporary).
For torrents, I installed transmission from the sources.
I didn't succeed in making firefox to make use of mplayer, apparently it uses totem, more or less efficiently.
For the sake of the archives, gnome-volume-control comes w/ the gnome-media package.
You might need to check at atrpms repo for other software.
