Most of the pre-packaged repositories are moving away from RHL to concentrate on FC1 & 2. It looks like at least fedora.us, NewRPMS, and Dag are still building some packages for older releases. Try these for starters: http://www.fedora.us/wiki/FedoraChannels http://newrpms.sunsite.dk/index.php?section=4 http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/FAQ.php#B Each page has instructions for adding their repositories to apt, yum, etc. > Now that gimp release 2.0 is out, how long should I expect to wait > for it to appear as an rpm? I haven't seen one for RHL9, but I haven't really looked. Again, a SRPM intended for FC1 might build (relatively) easily on older releases. -- Matt Brodeur RHCE MBrodeur@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.NextTime.com - From an IBM maintenance manual (1925): "By all means, do not use a hammer." -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
