> I'd be interested to see what percentage of users use apt4rpm, and Well apt4rpm != apt-rpm. apt4rpm [1] is a suit of scripts to manage your reps for apt-rpm.[2] Well I think there are quite a few people out using apt-rpm on RH but it's still a minority but the community is growing since I started using it about 2 years ago. On the other hand all Conectiva Linux users have apt-rpm installed cause Conectiva ported it a long time ago und suggest to use apt-rpm to install their updates/upgrades. > if 3rd parties also organize their RPMs, so, like marrilat.fr on > "our side", they could be added to the RPM sources.list. Jupp we're doing this aswell. Matthias Saou has his famous freshrpms.net (he is or was linked from the redhat website). I've build up a small rep[3] at the company where I did my apprenticeship with a focus on RedHat 7.3. I will stop this rep at the end of this year cause RH drops their sec support for RH 7.3 then and I'm not using RH anymore cause I finished my apprenticeship in june this year. ftp.gwdg.de has a very large archiv with packages from various sources for SuSE. > Also, how complete, and up-to-date are RPM apt repositories? Well mine is a little bit out of date now cause I'm going to school now as my new fulltime job. When I was paid for that work it was always filled with the recent software we needed in the office. freshrpms.net is always fresh ;) Sven [1] http://apt4rpm.sf.net [2] https://moin.conectiva.com.br/AptRpm [3] http://sven.stormbind.net/aptrpm/ and the rep http://wrack.telelev.net -- http://www.comboguano.de http://sven.linux-ist-pleite.de I'm root, if you see me laughing you better have a backup! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
