There no longer any rpm packages with "jason" or "litka", there are a  
few with "centos"

$ rpm -qa | grep -i centos

See end of email for list of all packages.

I'll keep my eye out for this. For the record, the one and only "non- 
standard" repo I used was http://www.jasonlitka.com/yum-repository/ -  
It was recommended in the CentOS forums. People seem to know the guy  
and trust him from what I read. Later, I removed all the packages I  
installed from that site (*.jason) and re-installed similar packages  
from CentOS-Testing repo.
