Great - but what are they ?Great - but what are they ?Posted Feb 4, 2005 13:58 UTC (Fri) by addw (guest, #1771)Parent article: Fedora Extras available for download
It is a shame that, having gone to all that effort, they don't make it usable for people. I took a quick look to see if there was interesting, I was presented with a list of package names - some of which I knew, others I didn't.
Is it too much to ask for a simple index ? Even a one line description of what each one does would make this much more usable. I have been in this game for a long time and I find it difficult, so what does the intelligent novice think ?
Summary: usual FLOSS failing of poor usability.

Great - but what are they ? Posted Feb 4, 2005 18:01 UTC (Fri) by skvidal (subscriber, #3094) [Link] you can get most of this information via yum:
if you have a stock install of fc3:
yum --disablerepo=base --disablerepo=updates-released info \*
That will give you a nice summary of all the packages in ONLY the extras repository.
I'd recommend outputting that to a file, though.
