I'm trying to get the packages of KDE not available with the standard fedora (core 1) release from some of the apt/yum rpm repositories out there, so that updating etc will be easy in the future.
I searched around for a while and found many people referring to this yum.conf file:
http://fedora.artoo.net/faq/samples/yum.conf
I uncommented a few of the "alternate repositories" and then added the following repos, too:
[code:1]
[kde-redhat-fedora-stable-$releasever]
name=kde-redhat.org (fedora-stable)-1
baseurl=ftp://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/fedora/$releasever/stable
ftp://apt.us.kde-redhat.org/linux/kde-redhat/apt/fedora/$releasever/stable
#gpgcheck=1
[kde-redhat-fedora-stable-all]
name=kde-redhat.org (fedora-stable)-all
baseurl=ftp://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/fedora/all/stable
ftp://apt.us.kde-redhat.org/linux/kde-redhat/apt/fedora/all/stable
#gpgcheck=1
[kde-redhat-kde-stable-$releasever]
name=kde-redhat.org (kde-stable)
baseurl=ftp://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/kde-redhat/$releasever/stable
ftp://apt.us.kde-redhat.org/linux/kde-redhat/apt/kde-redhat/$releasever/stable
#gpgcheck=1
[kde-redhat-kde-stable-all]
name=kde-redhat.org (kde-testing)
baseurl=ftp://apt.kde-redhat.org/apt/kde-redhat/all/testing
ftp://apt.us.kde-redhat.org/linux/kde-redhat/apt/kde-redhat/all/testing
#gpgcheck=1
[/code:1]
When I try running yum update, I get the following message:
[code:1]
Resolving dependencies

[/code:1]
Could someone tell me what I can do about this?
Thanks!
PS: I've decided to install Gentoo on a new partition, meanwhile. Staying up to date with rpms, especially for KDE is proving to be painful (in spite of all the ravings about apt/yum ... at least in my experience), and Gentoo appears to be refreshingly different from the other distros out there.
Uhm. Bummer?
