(like this, but for your other repos) rpm --import http://freshrpms.net/packages/builds/apt/RPM-GPG-KEY.freshrpms I agree that auto-updating (*a la* apt) is the only way to fly. I've been comparing the RPM flavor (follow on to RedHat) vs. DEB flavor (original debian apt-get). I happen to prefer debian at the moment, but I shall not open the distro war here. I'm currently running Fedora core 0.94 on another machine, but you may want to consider 0.95 now or Fedora Core 1 / Cambridge coming out next week: http://fedora.redhat.com/ I started with a RedHat 9.0 system and downloaded apt (and a prerequisite beecrypt), then set sources.list, and then did apt-get -s -u dist-upgrade Along the way I found some interesting discussions about mixing repos: <http://www.fedora.us/wiki/RepositoryMixingProblems> http://lists.freshrpms.net/pipermail/rpm-list/2003-July/005174.html http://lists.freshrpms.net/pipermail/rpm-list/2003-May/004624.html Whether with debian (and derivatives) or RPM-derivatives-with-apt this issue of repo mixing while keeping safe/accurate/appropriate dependencies is, IMHO, one of the key questions with Linux at the moment.
