I asked this before when I configured another CentOS box, but I forget the answer. In my apt sources folder, I don't have a repo that is the equivalent of the yum Centos.Base.repo. Where do I find such a file?

Purists will probably hate to have 3 config-files in place when they only use one. (and they are free to remove the rpmforge-release package :)) But it simplifies the configuration and doesn't conflict with other packages.

Be aware though that yum has now some very nifty features such as yumex/plugins. On my testbed machine i have about 280 packages protected from 3rd party repos that want to overwrite the packages in base. If i was using apt4rpm it would swallow all those packages, so you might wanna check out those plugins. FWIW apt4rpm has long been without development upsteam since the company that developed it was bought by Mandriva and dooes not intend to develop it. __________________________________________________ Improve the mailing list by performing a simple search before posting and reading the FAQ/etiquette.
