How many of you have tried out the KBS CentOS Fedora Extras rebuilds? In my case i enabled his misc and extras repo on a test machine and - it proceeded to install apt that nuked the dag and centos list files. - It also installed a very new version of wine, wine-devel and wine-tools that broke my wine apps. the centOS rpms from winehq work like champs. The winetools 0.9.3 rpm as linked from the winehq website is the real thing that can install IE, rather than the cheap fedora imitation. Is anyone else experiencing difficulties with the KBS repo? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Also, since were talking about it - apt is deprecated and users are actively encouraged to move to either yum or smartpm.> - It also installed a very new version of wine, wine-devel and > wine-tools that broke my wine apps. the centOS rpms from winehq work > like champs.
