Nevertheless that should not cause problems like uninstalling yum or even up2date. The remaining RH8.0 users seem to use the repo without problems (but I should check the logs, whether the use apt or yum). Incidentially I have been pushed to support even 7.3 and have been preparing rpm 4.2 and yum 2.0.3 for all three platforms. I have built rpms, but I haven't set up systems < RH9 to test them yet.

The descriptions are on the repo site itself, as a colored legend on every page on the bottom.

The atrpms package contains among others the configuration files for apt and yum. I package apt and yum into rpms w/o configuration, in order to not have to redeploy them whenever I add a new repo to the configuration. -- Axel.Thimm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
