Since Atrpms rebuilt all the packages linked against it, Fedora is no longer an issue. Rhel6, on the other hand, is still shipping livvpx 0.9.0, which is inadequate for the current version of most multimedia libraries. My only point here is why livbvpx 1.0, libxcb 1.7, and others need to be hidden in David Jones' locker? Most packages will not build or install without them. Therefore, unless one is "savvy" in ATrpms secrets, the repo may be unusable. I understand that the Fedora patrol people enjoy beating on packagers that replace their beloved core packages. However, Rhel without several improvements is completely pointless from a desktop point of view (as a server it is as good as anyone could wish for). Anyway, I think we need to find a better way to distribute Atrpms packages, or at least, clearly state what is on testing and what is an absolute necessary core replacement package. Maybe some big red letters somewhere is enough ... -- Paulo Roma Cavalcanti LCG - UFRJ
