Some questions conerning FC3

[Dominik Schastok]

Hi everyone,

I installed FC3 yesterday and did the update. Everything worked fine,
even my acx100 wlan card.
Since there is no mp3 support in fc3, I wanted to install it, but I´m
not sure which repositories I can take.
Can I use the reps I used with FC2, or do I need other?
Thanx a lot.

kind regard
Dominik Schastok

heidelberg.freshrpms.net has already an xmms-mp3 RPM.

You shouldn't use FC2 repositories. fedora.us / Fedora Extras isn't
ready at the moment, rpm.livna.org has already packages in the FC3
repository. Other known packagers have FC3 packages too like ATrpms.net
or freshrpms.net.

Having said that, those who have upgraded (like me) still have FC2
fedora.us packages installed...

I'd still recommend using FC3 repositories where possible, but most of
the packages should still work, and RPM should tell you if they depend
on a particular FC2 package.
