  My next question is about yum. How can we put the RPM's for Xlog and

the entire system from yum?

Well, you inspired me to dig into finding out how to set up a yum repository.
The result is a yum repository at http://nj8j.benshome.net/ currently
containing rpms for tqsllib, TrustedQSL, xlog and xdx for FC4.  I would have
put gmfsk up, but I run into an error message building it on my FC4 machine.

Well, if your web page is a yum repository then tomorrow I can just type # yum install xlog and it would look at all the repository's and come to yours and get me the RPM? Actually yum would insist on sending me hamlib which I got from somewhere yesterday.

As I indicate on the front page, you can set up you FC4 machine to retrieve
packages from this repository by running

rpm -i http://nj8j.benshome.net/nj8j-release-1.0.0-1.fc4.noarch.rpm

as root.  This installs nj8j.repo in /etc/yum.repos.d/ and my gpg key in
/etc/pki/rpm-gpg/.

Why would I need to do what you have above? I didn't do any of that when I got fftw, hamlib and other RPM's.

If there's interest, I'd like to get more packages on it so we'll have a
standard place to get FC4 (and FC5, etc) ham radio packages.

That will be fine Ben but I wanted the xlog and gmfsk that I made today to be available to anyone who uses yum.

Ben
