GhettoForge - We may be ghetto but our packages aren't
Purpose:
This repository exists to augment the existing set of third-party repositories for Enterprise Linux releases 5 and 6 by providing those packages that either are not available elsewhere or newer packages than exist in either your distribution's base package sets or via other repositories. This means that some of our package will overwrite base packages as provided by your distribution however we will endeavor to keep such packages in the [ghetto-extras] repository. Please see Best Practices for information on how to maintain sanity when using the ghetto-extras packages.
All packages are tested, and more importantly used, before they are made available to the public. All packages are signed with a 4096-bit GPG key (signature fingerprint: 0xABCDEFG1 [EDIT]) and the public key is available at http://ghettoforge.org/RPM-GPG-KEY.ghetto.
As an aid in package identification we use a package disttag of '.ghetto'
