RPM Packages for CentOS-4 and CentOS-5
The aim of this repository is to provide an easy way to access rpm's
originally built for related projects, but not available to run on
CentOS without a rebuild.
Report all bugs and issues to me via email at kbsingh {at} karan {d0t} org.

There are two repositories hosted here, the Fedora Extras rebuilt for
CentOS and the Misc pkg. The Misc pkg tree includes various rpms that
I have built from source or src.rpm rebuilds. There might be pkgs there
that will overwrite / replace core pkgs included in CentOS. To use the
Misc Pkgs repository, you will need the FExtras repo enabled as well,
some of the dependencies are resolved there.
Installation - Fedora Extras
rebuild Repository
On CentOS 4 and CentOS 5 ( yum version 2.2 and higher ) : Download file : kbsingh-CentOS-Extras.repo
and save it in /etc/yum.repos.d/
If you want to track updates using the up2date-applet or use the
up2date package manager, add this line to /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources
yum kb-centos-extras
http://centos.karan.org/el4/extras/stable/$ARCH/RPMS
Installation - Misc Packages
rebuild Repository
On CentOS 4 and CentOS 5 ( yum version 2.2 and higher ) : Download file : kbsingh-CentOS-Misc.repo
and save it in /etc/yum.repos.d/
If you want to track updates using the up2date-applet or use the
up2date package manager, add this line to /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources
yum kb-centos-misc
http://centos.karan.org/el4/misc/stable/$ARCH/RPMS
GPG key
The GPG key used to sign packages in this repository can installed by
running ( as root )
rpm --import http://centos.karan.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-karan.org.txt
Notes :
1. At this moment, yum and up2date are the only supported clients. If
there is any real interest in other package managers ( apt etc ), I
might include support for those at a future date.
2. Not all packages in each upstream repository build clean, and the
build process is an ongoing thing. Therefore, you might find that not
all packages from upstream are available here.
3. Source RPMS that are output from my build process are made available
( signed with the same gpg key ) in the SRPMS directory, along with the
build logs and debug info output from the same build process.
