I definitely agree with Geert.  I once wanted to upgraded YUM in 3.0
using the above depository, and the only way I could do so was to
utilize apt-get.  I upgraded YUM using apt-get and found myself in
YUM depency hell, after deleting headers and changing yum.conf files
joining the YUM email list and basically learning more than I EVER
wanted to know about YUM I reinstalled...
