Well, if your web page is a yum repository then tomorrow I can just type # yum install xlog and it would look at all the repository's and come to yours and get me the RPM?

How can we put the RPM's for Xlog and gmfsk on a hard drive that lets any person use "yum install xlog" to get the entire system from yum?Well, you inspired me to dig into finding out how to set up a yum repository. The result is a yum repository at http://nj8j.benshome.net/ currently containing rpms for tqsllib, TrustedQSL, xlog and xdx for FC4. I would have put gmfsk up, but I run into an error message building it on my FC4 machine.
Why would I need to do what you have above? I didn't do any of that when I got fftw, hamlib and other RPM's.As I indicate on the front page, you can set up you FC4 machine to retrieve packages from this repository by running rpm -i http://nj8j.benshome.net/nj8j-release-1.0.0-1.fc4.noarch.rpm as root. This installs nj8j.repo in /etc/yum.repos.d/ and my gpg key in /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/.
That will be fine Ben but I wanted the xlog and gmfsk that I made today to be available to anyone who uses yum.If there's interest, I'd like to get more packages on it so we'll have a standard place to get FC4 (and FC5, etc) ham radio packages.
