Repositories: Livna vs. dag/freshrpms/dries/newrpms/PlanetCCRMA (RPMforge)
I realized that it's one or the others, after coming across Stanton Finley's installation notes. So, I'm wondering how significant the trade-off is. I've been using Livna for a few months now, and I'm quite fond of it, but the other group of repositories seem very promising as well  . Please share your thoughts on whether I should make the switch.
Regards.

There are some packages that are not available in livna repositories. So I use all of them. Besides, livna uptime is not 100%

You realize that livna is not compatible with the others mentioned, right?

I use livna. You can always make your own rpm's if livna doesn't have the rpm's you need.. this is what I do.

It's OK to use both - just always do selective updates. Don't update one repo's packages with the other, and don't do a full update with them enabled.

PlanetCCRMA is mostly for audiophiles.
Realtime kernels, studio/midi/recording software.
I had an F8 box set-up as a multi-track recorder with Livna, official/restricted, and PlanetCCRMA repos.
Had to watch the updates like hawk or things would become broken.
The whole update thing became such PITA I ended up moving the box to UbuntuStudio.
A good learning experience though.

Manux, this is a three year old thread and Twey last showed up two years ago, so I don't think he's going to answer you. The simple way to disable a repository is to use a text editor, as root, and edit the /etc/yum.repos.d entry for the repository, changing the 'enabled=1' to 'enabled=0'. Once done, I'd simply use yumex to temporarily enable that repository in the future.
All that said, in the future, please post this kind of question in a FRESH thread, not tagged onto an ancient one. I'm closing this one to prevent more stuff from being tagged on.
