ac_dispatcher Posted November 8, 2003 Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 I plan on trying Fedora Core 1.0 today. I remember reading somewhere that if I use RH repositories for Fedora Core it will break it. Can someone please enlighten me? Also: Is there is no website like PLF's easy urpmi for Fedora apt-get?

Here is one, but since Fedora was released so recently it doesn't have every package yet. http://rpm.livna.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null Posted November 8, 2003 Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 I read in a Linux mag, Linux Format I think, that when you are setting up apt-get for a rh system not to include any fedora repositories or else you will screw up your system. And vice versa, for a fedora system, do not include any rh repositories (ie freshrpms, etc). Something about that the freshrpms et al repositories use a different versioning system than what fedora decided to use. Therefore, mixing the repositories would confuse your apt set up.
