Is the Fedora Core 2 cd's going to be apt enabledFor what it's worth, I agree completly.
will redhat enable apt to be used with their up2date servers
Thats my 2 cents anyway..
I would like to third that. Apt is a full head and shoulders above yum.
IMNSHO. I am not sure why it is not part of FC now. - Just incase the
devel team reads any of this :)
Well , some of the devel guys used to read and answer questions on the list until some time ago.. looks like they are too busy working on FC2 right now..
I believe that the current decision is to make yum/up2date/apt compatible with each other. According to some old messages on the devel list (posted just after FC1 was released) , this is the current project that the main developers for yum and apt are working on. The common file structure has been discussed already and there's some tests being done behind the scenes, so it may be just a matter of time before they become compatible with each other..
