Please do correct me if I'm wrong. I would have really preferred to have all the packages produced by the Fedora Legacy project primarily distributed in a simple tree, similar to the existing Red Hat one, and preferably from a fedoralegacy.org host : /pub/fedoralegacy/redhat/<version>/<arch>/*.rpm With eventually variations in the tree, like adding "linux" for consistency with the Red Hat trees or inserting "updates" at one point. Anyone could then easily sync the files and include them in their apt, yum or whatever modules (say at fedora.us, freshrpms.net, inside a local Red Hat Linux mirror etc.). Maybe this is done, but is seems not, as I understand fedora.us will probably become Fedora Legacy... but before that, fedora.us is going to become Fedora Extras... confused enough yet? :-/ Matthias -- Clean custom Red Hat Linux rpm packages : http://freshrpms.net/ Fedora Core release 1 (Yarrow) - Linux kernel 2.4.22-1.2115.nptl Load : 0.82 0.72 0.73
