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 [plnet-downloaded] name=Spec CentOS-$releasever - plnet-downloaded - $releasever - $basearch baseurl=http://rpms.plnet.rs/plnet-centos6-$basearch/RPMS.plnet-downloaded/ gpgcheck=0 enabled=1 priority=2 [plnet-releases] name=Spec CentOS-$releasever - plnet-releases - $releasever - $basearch baseurl=http://rpms.plnet.rs/plnet-centos6-$basearch/RPMS.plnet-releases/ gpgcheck=0 enabled=1 priority=1 [plnet-replace] name=Spec CentOS-$releasever - plnet-replace - $releasever - $basearch baseurl=http://rpms.plnet.rs/plnet-centos6-$basearch/RPMS.plnet-replace/ gpgcheck=0 enabled=0 priority=1 [plnet-test] name=Spec CentOS-$releasever - plnet-test - $releasever - $basearch baseurl=http://rpms.plnet.rs/plnet-centos6-$basearch/RPMS.plnet-test/ gpgcheck=0 enabled=0 priority=4 -- Ljubomir Ljubojevic (Love is in the Air) PL Computers Serbia, Europe Google is the Mother, Google is the Father, and traceroute is your trusty Spiderman...
