Hi Ben, you DO know a whole lot more about yum than I do. Ben Coleman wrote:
I was not aware of the Fedora or Red Hat sponsored sites. These are what I used and they worked so good. I think we want to put xlog and gmfsk in the Extras repo along with hamlib. Ben that would mean that a Ham who wants to go digital running Fedora Core x software can just yum the two basic applications and they will bring with them the required support and in minutes you can get on the air.-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Karl F.

This installs nj8j.repo in /etc/yum.repos.d/ and my gpg key in /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/.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.Yes, because those are in the standard Fedora yum repositories (Base, Updates, and Extras) that the yum package points to by default. Mine is a 'third-party' repository. For yum to know about it, the appropriate configuration has to be installed. I think I've made this pretty easy (and actually, this method is fairly standard among sites providing third-party repositories. I should know, because I actively stole the idea from them <grin>).
To that end I will go to the Red Hat web page and see if I can learn what it takes to offer an RPM to yum.
