hi this has been hashed over a few times on various lists now i finally got around to doing something about it you can now add rpm URL redhat NUMBER NUMBER task to your sources list and after apt get update you can find out what s available with apt cache search task these are generated directly from comps xml of rhNUMBER NUMBER so they contain exactly the same packages as you ll get by choosing the various categories at install time i didn t bother including srpms for these as they are rather uninteresting if you want you can re generate the specs by running URL btw the repository only contains the task packages you ll need an apt enabled mirror of rhNUMBER NUMBER in your sources list to actually do anything with it panu _______________________________________________ rpm list mailing list rpm list freshrpms net URL
