Hm, could you elaborate? Adding a repo is usually "wget .repo file into /etc/yum.repos.d/" which doesn't seem harder to me than editing sources.list (about the same, really). What's soured your experience?
- gecko 14y agoI'd assume he's referencing the "apt-add-repository" with ppm support, which automatically takes care of editing sources, adding GPG keys to sign the downloads, and rebuilding the repo list, in one shot. It's not dramatically different than Fedora, but it's different enough you do appreciate it after awhile.
- jlgreco 14y agoI've even seen RPM's built that add repos for you. Pretty dead simple, particularly if your DE knows what to do with an RPM.
