[PlanetCCRMA] (newbie) questions on the FC5 CCRMA and package management

[Erik Steinholtz]

Hello - 

 

First of all, thanks for a great platform! 

 

I wanted to upgrade my FC3 CCRMA to FC5. installed FC and ccrma-core.

 

Then, for installing the apps, the instructions are somewhat confusing
(or is it just me being confused?)

 

1)       there is a note saying that the planetccrma-* app packages are
not yet available

2)       there are links to the packages

 

1)       there are no instructions on how to configure or install apt
(as there used to be for the previous versions). My conclusion was....It
is all yum these days (which I found out was wrong pretty quickly..)

2)       the example commands for installing are still for apt

 

My conclusion is that audioapps and adiovideoapps are still managed
under apt. Correct? (want to know before I try and mess up something...)


 

Is the package manager bound to change in the future to be only yum?

 

Second question: Which other package collections go together with
planetccrma? I would assume atrpms, since they mirror planetccrma. Are
there any "recommended" and "stay away from" lists?

 

Third, general, very-much-newbie question is: 

 

a) How do apt and yum work together? Isn't there a way that they could
mess up with each other? 

b) if I add an rpm outside of yum and apt, are they incorporated
"automagically" into the local yum

 and apt repo management, or are they forever out in the cold? 

 

Thanks for anyone with the patience to answer,

 

Erik Steinholtz

 

PS I also found a typo on the main page
(http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/) , saying that
planetccrma is supported for FC versions 1,2,4 and 5, even though 3 is
among the installation instructions.
