Request for Testers for YellowDog extras

[Andrew Zschetzsche]

I have a few questions regarding the extras testing branch.

1.  What is "testing"?  Is it that the program installs with out a hickup?

2.  Can regulars to the list submit binary rpm's?  And where?

2a.  I don't quite have a stock machine anymore.  If we want to submit 
something, should we submit a source rpm, or the binary?  Are the 
submitted/suggested packages compiled on a known stock machine?

Thanks,
Andy Zschetzsche

To test them, Add the testing branch of ydl-extras to your yum.conf(config to insert at http://cvs.terraplex.com/~ydl-extras/4.0/yum.conf ). Then run yum install <pkgname> and begin using the package. All dependancies are in either ydl-extras or ydl main. If you have any problems, email rjune at bravegnuworld.com
