These sound like recipes for an extended excursion through dependecy hell.

As it is, one has to be careful about mixing certain 3rd party Fedora
repos (ie, Livna, freshrpms, and atrpms), problems of the like of
which the ubuntu community may fortunately remain blissfully ignorant.

If a program isn't in your distro repo(s), you download and compile
the source, non è vero?
