Description Owen Taylor 2009-08-17 12:39:08 UTC

While rpmforge.repo is not enabled via puppet for button, it is found locally in /etc and turned on.

The following RPMForge packages are installed:

# rpm -qa | grep el5.rf
mytop-1.4-2.el5.rf
spamassassin-3.2.5-1.el5.rf
rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf
perl-DBI-1.607-1.el5.rf
subversion-1.5.5-0.1.el5.rf
perl-PlRPC-0.2020-1.el5.rf
lha-1.14i-19.2.2.el5.rf
subversion-perl-1.5.5-0.1.el5.rf

My guess is that rpmforge was added for mytop, and then some of the other packages got accidentally upgraded. I think all the above can be removed:

 - mytop isn't useful now that we are moving to drawable for database hosting
 - spamasssassin would never have been needed on button
 - subversion is no longer needed, since it is no longer in use for GNOME

button.gnome.org has been retired, closing this bug. In addition we won't make sure of external repositories such as rpmforge anymore given EPEL having pretty much all perl-* modules we needed at that time.
