Thanks for pointing it out. However... 77 lines of unnecessary untrimmed text removed. Is it too much to ask you to be considerate to others and trim non-essential text? I direct you to the mailing list guidelines for these lists: http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=16 Thank you for your future thoughtfulness.

Roosevelt (1882-1945), 32nd President of the United States, > ? second inaugural address, 20 January 1937It would seem you have posted about 90 times, and the very first and the very last (and presumably the ones in between) all contain a sig longer than the guidelines, so, as a wanna be List Mom, you don't hold much sway with me (read: there is already enough hypocrisy in the world). 12 * ~ 90 > 77 by more than an order of magnitude. The 77 serve to indicate how many packages one might search for and _possibly_ wind up in an unsafe place. I hope that is not the case and will continue my efforts (along with one of my Internet2 friends) to vet the repo. kind regards/ldv/vaden at texoma.net

EPEL is must have to be enabled for CentALT packages to work. CentALT packages relies on EPEL. Repacking all dependencies is bad idea. This work is already done in EPEL. 2011-02-18, 10:41
