At work we have the [Kerio Mailserver](http://www.kerio.com/mailserver) Appliance for VMware which is based on Fedora
Core 6. Since they use the ugly `[yum](http://yum.baseurl.org/)`, I decided to install `[apt-rpm](http://apt-rpm.org/)`.
I'm still missing something like `[aptitude](http://algebraicthunk.net/~dburrows/projects/aptitude/)`, but it is okay now.
`apt-rpm` expects some `*.list` files in the `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/` directory - as does the Ubuntu `apt-get`.
Repositories
============
Since I had some time to find all repos, here's ist an overview:
* **os.list** (pre-installed, shortened to the neccessary ones)
# Name: Operating system and updates
### Fedora Core Linux
#repomd http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/$(VERSION)/$(ARCH)/core
#repomd http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/$(VERSION)/$(ARCH)/updates
rpm http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/$(VERSION)/$(ARCH) core updates
#offline: repomd http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/ fedora/linux/core/$(VERSION)/$(ARCH)/os/
repomd http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/ fedora/linux/extras/$(VERSION)/$(ARCH)/
#offline: repomd http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/ fedora/linux/core/updates/$(VERSION)/$(ARCH)/</code>
* **dries.list**
# Name: Dries Repository
#repomd http://ftp.belnet.be/packages/dries.ulyssis.org/fedora/linux/$(VERSION)/$(ARCH)/dries
rpm http://apt.sw.be fedora/$(VERSION)/en/$(ARCH) dries</code>
* **freshrpms.list**
# Name: freshRPMs
# core and updates are used in os.list
rpm http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/$(VERSION)/$(ARCH) extras freshrpms</code>
* **livna.list**
# Name: livna
repomd http://rpm.livna.org fedora/$(VERSION)/$(ARCH)
repomd http://rpm.livna.org fedora/testing/$(VERSION)/$(ARCH)</code>
* **remi.list**
# Name: Les RPM de Remi
repomd http://rpms.famillecollet.com fc$(VERSION).$(ARCH)</code>
The difference between the **`rpm`** and the **`repomd`** is simple: A `repomd` points to a single repository whereas
`rpm` can point to different in one line. Example:
repomd http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/$(VERSION)/$(ARCH)/core
repomd http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/$(VERSION)/$(ARCH)/updates
is exactly the same as
rpm http://ayo.freshrpms.net fedora/linux/$(VERSION)/$(ARCH) core updates
Notice the two last words in the last example. The resemble the two directories of the two `repomd` statements. You
know it is a repository if the path contains a folder `repodata`, such as [this one](http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/6/i386/core/repodata).
Knowing that, you can find more Repos using [Google](http://google.com/search?q=allinurl%3A+i386+repodata+repomd+%2B6+fc+OR+fedora) with an
[advanced query](http://letmegooglethatforyou.com/?q=allinurl%3A+i386+repodata+repomd+%2B6+fc+OR+fedora).
