Re: how to add packages that are not in the repo?
That is a source rpm. It contains the source files and settings to build the binary packages for a target system. Installing it would give you the files necessary to run it through rpmbuild. You would then need to install the resulting package, assuming you have all of the required libraries and development tools needed for a successful build. Many people use a tool called mock to help accomplish this.

by the way for future reference yum provides */kalarm would have told you if it was in a package with a different name than you expect. also I always check rpm.pbone.net its very useful for finding rpm's in 3rd party repos.

A couple of resources that can help track down packages that aren't part of your standard distribution: rpm.pbone.net and rpmfind.net.

RE: Calender apps (was :how to add packages that are not in the repo?)
There are probably a dozen answers to this. If you have access to gmail/google Calender, it works extremely well, integrating with most smart-phones, etc. It is web based, which may or may not be an issue for you. Also, look at Zimbra Desktop, or for that matter, the open source Zimbra if you want it for more than yourself. Another option is Thunderbird, which has a calender and task list built in as well. I have run into all of these first as mail clients, but I have always used the calenders as well. I am currently using Google and Zimbra Desktop both, one for home and one for work. Admittedly, these are not Linux specific, but it should at least give you something to use while you find what you want.

If the rpm name ends with x86_64.rpm, it's for 64 bit. So far as I know, everything else, such as i386.rpm, i586.rpm, i686.rpm, are for 32 bit.

There are fascinating legal reasons that repositories like 'rpmfusion' might not be in the Scientific Linux defaults, and certainly reasons why it's not enabled in the upstream RHEL defaults. Checking the public web pages about rpmfusin, the RPM are listed at http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration Once you've installed it once, it'll be available from then on on that system.

First of all that the dependencies are taken care of - or it will tell you which dependencies can't be found, and that yum will not complain about rpm having been used outside of yum. If you want to add these external packages to more machines, it may be more convenient to create your own repository server. All you need is a web server where you can upload all your own packages and run createrepo in that directory. Then you add your own repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d with the baseurl variable pointing to your own server and path to your packages. Once that is in place, yum install will do the rest. The advantage here is that when you upload updated packages to your web server and run createrepo again, all your boxes gets updated automatically next time the yum update job runs (unless you've disabled the auto update, then running 'yum update' or the gnome/kde update applet will do the job). -- kind regards, David Sommerseth

Put them all in the same directory and yum should figure it out. If not then I think there was an option called --assist or --aid for the rpm command which will do it but it's been a while. Also remember to check /etc/cron.daily there is a yum autoupdate package that installs by default on 6 and bellow that runs a cronjob to run yum update -y every day you will want to either disable it or install the yum blacklist extension rpm and configure it to prevent it from updating those packages.
