Repositories
Ok I downloaded Fedora to give it a go. (long time Mandrake user)
I installed apt-get and synaptic. Cant seem to find to many repositories out there. Here is what I got: rpm http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/1/i386 core updates rpm http://apt.physik.fu-berlin.de fedora/fc1/en/i386 at-testing rpm http://rpm.livna.org/ fedora/1/i386 stable unstable testing rpm-src http://rpm.livna.org/ fedora/1/i386 stable unstable testing rpm http://download.fedora.us/ fedora/fedora/1/i386 stable unstable testing updates rpm-src http://download.fedora.us/ fedora/fedora/1/i386 stable unstable testing updates Does anyone have any more? Any third party stuff? Is there a site for RH or Fedora for loading of repositories? Like Mandrakes PLF site?(easy urpmi) Also: Can anyone tell me why Fedora or RH does not come with apt-get or similar program for dependency issues? |
Fedora *DOES* come with an apt-like program, it's called yum and is already set up for you. Try "yum list" or "yum search".
There is another repository for freeworld packages available at rpm.livna.org |
there are dag's repo's which have alot of good 3rd party rpms, check his site, which also lists other useful repo's:
http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/ |
OK went to Dags and did what it said.
Added the file dag.list in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory. In it is: ### Dag Apt Repository for Red Hat Fedora Core 1 rpm http://apt.sw.be redhat/fc1/en/i386 dag When I goto update it "apt-get update" Failed to fetch http://apt.sw.be/redhat/fc1/en/i386/base/pkglist.dag 404 Not Found If you go there - http://apt.sw.be/redhat/fc1/en/i386/base/ you will find the ../base directory empty. How did you get it to work? |
yep,
rpm http://apt.sw.be redhat/fc1/en/i386 dag should work, i don't know why it's empty atm, i know i used it with ease with redhat 9 also there's these other repo's mentioned at dag's: ATrpms, FreshRPMS and Newrpms can be found at their sites. i can't remember, since now i am using Gentoo, but one of these repo's gave really nice packages, i.e. a chrooted mldonkey. the one repo, back then, which i didn't like...fedora...now happens to be rh's community project, odd. you might want to email the guy at dag's and let him know his fc1 repo is empty, or something. good luck! |
