Howdy,<BR>
<BR>
I'm wanting to use metamail on a BlueOnyx system, and it does not seem to be in any of the repositories. <BR>
Does anybody know if there is a reason why it's not in the standard repositories?<BR>
Is anybody else using it?<BR>
<BR>
There is a warning on the system about using non-certified repositories:<BR>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<TT>cat /etc/yum.repos.d/0_WARNING.txt </TT><BR>
<TT>WARNING!</TT><BR>
<TT>========</TT><BR>
<BR>
<TT>Do NOT use RPMForge!</TT><BR>
<BR>
<TT>Do NOT tie your server into third party YUM repositories UNLESS they are certified for BlueOnyx.</TT><BR>
<BR>
<TT>Third party YUM repository servers (*especially* RPMforge!) replace onboard RPMs with versions</TT><BR>
<TT>that conflict with BlueOnyx. That will then break the GUI and will cause service outages.</TT><BR>
<BR>
<TT>The damages that this will cause may not be easy to repair.</TT><BR>
<BR>
<TT>If you require specific software that's not present in the CentOS5 or BlueOnyx YUM repositories, </TT><BR>
<TT>then consider asking for it on the BlueOnyx mailing list to check what other peoples experiences</TT><BR>
<TT>with it are.</TT><BR>
<BR>
<TT>The mailing list can be found here:</TT><BR>
