Quoting David Eisenstein <deisenst@xxxxxxx>:
There is some sentiment for getting rid of apt-get for FC3 and newer
distros, especially in terms of the proposed yum.conf RPM package being
proposed & prepared, "legacy-yumconf-....fc3.src.rpm", at
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=177966>.
I think this would be a Good Thing...
This was discussed yesterday on IRC (irc.freenode.net channel #Fedora-
Legacy). Wondering how the general legacy users feel about that?
I for one agree.
Will we continue supporting apt-get for the older distros?
I think we will have to for the RHL releases. You could argue otherwise
for FC releases, since most of them come with YUM by default.
So I vote we keep yum and apt for RHL releases, and I'll defer for
FC releases.
By the way, I don't see directions on using apt-get for FC2 on the
<http://www.fedoralegacy.org/docs> web-page, and I don't see directions
for using yum for FC3 yet.
Someone running those dists has to write them. I actually do have access
to a FC3 system, so I can do the FC3 stuff. But I don't have any access
to FC1 or FC2, so someone else should do those.
Are we planning to update those docs? I
Yes, but who will do it? Volunteers?
