null Posted October 3, 2003 Report Share Posted October 3, 2003 I just read an article (current issue of Linux Format) about apt-get. They made it clear that freshrpm repositories and the new "fedora" repositories have agreed to use different versioning methods for their filenames. The article specifically said DO NOT mix freshrpms sites & fedora sites in your repository file (sources.list for redhat) or you will SCREW-UP your system good and you would be getting all sorts of errors and conflicts. When they come up with something good (apt-get) why do they have to come along and screw it up... :? I can see articles coming about "apt-get hell"... Needless to say, I made sure I don't have any fedora sites listed in my sources.list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted October 4, 2003 Report Share Posted October 4, 2003 D/k if you can use any info here...heh, I've never used pinning for apt so I d/k if apt-4-rpm can even make use of it, or it there's any thing else here that'll interest you. I started with Libranet and there's a lot of good info on the forum even 4 Debian'ers and apt'ers.
