FC4 and Synaptic

UmneyDurak · 01-01-2007, 06:37 PM

Hello.
I am using synaptic to keep FC4 up to date. It uses this repository dl.atrpms.net. Unfortenatly it doesn't look like they support FC4 anymore. Are there any other repositories available?

Thanks.

Do not believe that Fedora 4 will be supported much longer so most repositories will discontinue supporting that distro.

Well that sucks. How well does upgrade work? I have this thing setup just the way I like it, and don't really want to go through all the hastle of re-installing everything, and backing up all my projects.

What I was trying to say before the keyboard went crazy. The guide presents the other repos that are supported by Fedora. Not sure if FC4 is supported but you can always go to their webpages and find out. In all honesty, no matter what OS. If there are two upgrades or two more OSes produced. The earlier OSes will not be supported forever. You might be able to upgrade from FC4 to FC6. (I personally do not like the upgrade option versus clean install.)
