When rpmrepo.org is up and running properly, there are 2 or 3 Wiki pages that need to be updated. I wiped the HD on my daughter's box and am trying to install multimedia on it again. The change from RPMForge to rpmrepo.org requires some minor updates to several Wiki pages.

IMHO, the stuff on the Wiki is a wonderful asset. Especially, for those of us who are Newbies. Much appreciated!

Yes, sure, and I already have those covered in the back of my head. But rpmrepo will still take some time >:)

I imagine that it will take a lot of time. It looks like you have lots of work ahead of you, to get the new site up and running completely. My need isn't urgent, so I will be patient and wait until you can get to updating the Wiki.

There is no change yet. Just use rpmforge or ATrpms like you used to use it.

Kai: I tried to use rpmforge, about 4 hours ago, and there was an error. My daughter is using her box now, so I can't try it at this time, because she is using M$ Windows at the moment, so I can't ssh into it and try it again, at this time. I will try again, ASAP.
After I got Priorities installed and configured for the CentOS repositories, I tried to add RPMForge. I think it was on this URL: http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/MultimediaOnCentOS and when I tried: rpm -Uhv http://apt.sw.be/packages/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i... I got an error back. Then, I tried going to rpmforge.com which seemed to be working at a minimal level and then to rpmrepo.org which isn't fully functional yet. I will try it again, ASAP. I've used those Wiki pages in the past, without any problems, so I think it's just the change to rpmrepo.org Lanny

Again: There is *NO* change to rpmrepo.org yet. Nothing has changed over the last weeks.

I will try it again, ASAP. It sure wasn't working properly for me early this morning (GMT -5).

because this won't work. Download and install. You should do this *always* when you get an error remote installing an rpm.

Kai: I also went to RPMForge and tried to download and install the RPM, but there was a problem with that too. Possibly it was a temporary problem. I had the RPM on the Desktop and tried to install, but no go. I will try again, ASAP. I have Priorities set up on that box, so if I can add the RPMForge Repository to the CentOS repositories, then I'm good to go. Lanny

Lanny, this is the package you want:

Steve: Thanks. I will try that when I can get onto that box. Also, I just found this page: https://rpmrepo.org/RPMforge/Using which includes this:
wget http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.$dist.rf.$ar... rpm -Uhv rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.$dist.rf.$arch.rpm
Probably the same RPM. Probably it will be tomorrow morning, before I can try this. Lanny

SOLVED: I have the RPMForge and Adobe repositories installed. I will begin installing the Multimedia stuff in a minute. I do not remember doing it this way before, but that was months ago and I'm sure that in fact, I did it this way before..... Not my day today....
(a) Install DAG's GPG key (b) Verify the package you have downloaded (c) Install the package

FOLLOW ON: Listened to KOOL (97.3 FM in Anchorage, AK) on streamaudio.com It was last November, when I installed multimedia the previous time. Works great with a video of my favorite singer (Juan Luis Guerra) on his web site. He will do 3 concerts in California this weekend, for those of you in California. The strangest thing, after getting RPMForge installed and installing everything, was that I discovered the Left speaker on my daughters box was dead. She is normally quick to complain, if DirecTV or her computer has a problem...... Now, she has two speakers that work properly. :-)
