10:30 p.m.
I would like to start picking up add-on packages, for example from
freshrpms.net or livna.org. I'd prefer to stick to the apt access.
However, I don't see apt packages on fedora.us, freshrpms.net, or
livna.org for .94. Can I use the package of .93? Does freshrpms.net have
repos for either beta? I couldn't find them if so.
Does anyone know what to put in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources to get
up2date to pick up the add-ons from either repository?

livna.org: http://rpm.livna.org/readme.txt
fedora.us: the path hasn't changed, only the release version
may need to be adjusted to 0.94 in case you have it hardcoded

Seems I misunderstood your mail. Apt and Synaptic have not
been rebuilt for 0.94 yet. The 9.0.93 versions should install
and work. If not, you'll find out. ;)

Ok, I installed the 9.0.93 APT package, and corrected the fedora URL to 0.93
instead of 9.0.93. Then I added the path for livna.org. That's all working.
However, apt-get upgrade complains about some macromedia stable repo. It's no in
my /etc/apt/sources file, and is being picked up from fedora.us somewhere, as I
saw it before adding livna.org to my sources. Doesn't seem to be affecting
anything though.
So I should benow be able to stay current with patches using apt or up2date,
right? Are there any apt applets like the rhn-applet?
I think RHN/up2date is great, but since I can't see myself paying, I'd like to
have an alternative that won't involve me using Red Hat's network resources
without paying for them. (Since the main reason for the whole reorganization
seems to be supporting the free RHL product was costing too much money, I'll
leave the RHN network to the paying customers)

Hi Justin -
I made a script which does a similar job to up2date, using the
distributed Redhat FTP mirrors to automatically fetch, confirm
signature on, and install updated packages. People have tested it
with RH7.3 thru 9. It also supports creation and syncing of local
mirrors if you have multiple client machines, you can elect one to
mirror the FTP site and point the others to the local machine. It
emails reports from the client machines on update.
http://warmcat.com/up3date
As soon as there is an entry for Fedora in the updates directory of
the FTP mirrors it should work with Fedora too.
Since its just a cron-nable script rather than a GUI app I doubt it
will cause the downfall of Redhat :-O, but some admins are already
finding it useful to avoid 'Survey fatigue'.

Check out /etc/apt/sources.list.d/macromedia.list

There was a preview of "apt-watch" applet announced on Debian-devel last year
but the project seems to be dead.

Should be a commented out example line in the defaults sources
file, something like:
apt freshrpms-9-i386 http://ayo.freshrpms.net redhat/9/i386/ updates freshrpms
with, the approriate repos and urls and whatnot of course...
basically:
apt channel-name servername path repo1 repo2 repo2 ... repoN
where channel-name is a localy chose name, it doesnt really matter
as long as it's unique.

Is this documented somewhere? And has redhat-config-packages been made
smart to play w/ the extra-fedora packages? I dont see anything new in
the GUI. -Mark
