Subject: centos wiki] Update of AdditionalResources/Repositories by
PhilSchaffner
The following page has been changed by PhilSchaffner:
http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories?action=diff&rev2=96&rev1=95
The comment on the change is:
Add JPackage

$ sudo rpm -Uvh mharris-el-repo-release-5-3.4.noarch.rpm

which contains files to substantially the same effect, and a bit more
description of his archive.

http://www.jpackage.org/index.php )

----
* '''Jason Litka - Utter Ramblings Repository''' -
(See http://www.jasonlitka.com/yum-repository/) Updated web stack and other
applications for EL4 and EL5 that will replace core packages. Includes apr,
apr-util, freetds, httpd, libmcrypt, mhash, mod evasive, mod perl, mod python,
mod security, mysql, mysqlclient10, mysqlclient14, pcre, perl-BSD-Resource, php,
php-apc, php-eaccelerator, php-memcache, php-pear, php-xcache, subversion, tidy.
Suggest caution if using this repo due to replacement of core packages.

... and had a couple of reactions -- the snipped part of it is
a direct scrape and paste from the remote site, rather than
locally produced editorial content. It is 'attributed' by
being inside quotes, but really, I think a re-write is more
proper, as the extract uses the first person singular and when
first reading it I was confused.
The other part about this page has been nagging at me, and
that is I think we need a refactor here, as the centos side
archive discussion up top gets lost in the clutter later on.
Also, at this point I would elide the old bad example at the
very bottom.
Thoughts?
