Hello,
I'm running centos5. There's some rpms that exist on fedora that are
not
in centos5 in it's repos. I was wondering if it was possible to set up yum
to get only selected packages in source rpm form ou of a fedora repo and
install them on centos? In that way they could be recompiled for centos5.
Thanks.
Dave.
