I have Centos 5.2 and want to install mapserver. On my Fedora 7 box it is in the repo. Should I just enable that repo? Anyone done this? Tips/warnings?

Here is a warning... Don't enable a Fedora 7 repo on CentOS. It is better to try to rebuild source rpm. If you can find a src rpm for Fedora 6, that would be better.

I have some home build (x86_64 from src.rpm) 5.0.2 if you want. Laurent.

I have advice to use this repo:
http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/EPEL/5/
but I don't understand how to enable it. Usually I would put it into yum.conf but it seems yum is reading from yum.conf.d. Do I make a text snippet as a file or add this to another repo's file or what? Example welcome.

rpm -Uvh http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora-epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-3.noarch.rpm
will install the EPEL repo file. (replace /i386/ with your architecture).
WARNING, if you have other repos like rpmforge etc etc, EPEL does NOT play well with others as they refuse to tag the RPM names and dependencies with the repo name... I tend to go into the /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo file that installed, and change it to `enabled=0`, then manually enable it when I want to fetch something from it.
you also probably want to play with yum-priorities. I'm a little fuzzy on the specifics here.
