Hello. I have been trying to add rpmforge as a repository, but yum does not seem to be updating the package lists. I tried $ yum check-updates [...] Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: <mirror> * epel: <mirror> * extras: <mirror> * rpmforge: mirror.ate.info * updates: <mirror> and searched for any package available there, like i3 and mpv. It is still like the repository was never added. I imported the GPG key mentioned in the wiki, and installed <http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.3-1.el7.rf.x86_64.rpm>, checked /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmforge.repo and it is enabled. Tried enabling rpmforge-extras and rpmforge-testing, but i noticed no difference. I am using CentOS 7.

I tried...rpmforge is a dead repo, no longer maintained, I would not use for anything anymore. I usually add EPEL without so much as a second thought, but any other repos I'm pretty selective about. See https://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories for a good summary of the other repos. -- john r pierce, recycling bits in santa cruz

I use it on a few of my servers. Poking around in the package lists, I can't find any that have been updated since July 2014. Is repoforge now unmaintained? -- Bowie
