Ok, I am missing Red Hat 9 already : ( I miss all the extra packages I could install from fedora and sometimes from freshrpms and DAG. Recompiling all the srpms is taking ages. What is everyone else doing? I also miss synaptic since it let me browse and get a nice description for all the packages out there. yum info is a little too much to go through. Right now I installed apt from fedora for 9.0.93 and use that, though I am getting confilcts for certain apps. Will fedora ever have multimedia type applications like mplayer and xine? So is everyone else just compiling all the apps they need for Fedora Core release 0.94? Or are there some good repos out there already that I am not aware of? Right now I have this in my /etc/apt/sources.list file:
rpm http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/fedora redhat/0.94/i386 os updates stable testing unstable
rpm-src http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/fedora redhat/0.94/i386 os updates stable testing unstable
rpm http://ayo.freshrpms.net redhat/rawhide/i386 os rpm http://ayo.freshrpms.net redhat/9/i386 freshrpms rpm http://macromedia.mplug.org apt/redhat/0.94 macromedia rpm http://gstreamer.net/releases redhat/redhat-9-i386 deps redhat
In my /etc/yum.conf file I have:
[base] http://mirror.dulug.duke.edu/pub/yum-repository/redhat/$releasever/$basearch... [updates] http://mirror.dulug.duke.edu/pub/yum-repository/redhat/updates/$releasever/ [fedora-stable] http://download.fedora.us/fedora/redhat/$releasever/$basearch/yum/stable/ [fedora-testing] http://download.fedora.us/fedora/redhat/$releasever/$basearch/yum/testing/ [fedora-unstable] http://download.fedora.us/fedora/redhat/$releasever/$basearch/yum/unstable/
Are there any other repos out yet, or do I just need to wait until all the 9.0.93 are recompiled for 0.94?

Yes, exactly.
The stuff that was removed from fedora.us is at http://rpm.liva.org, but with limited [human] resources it takes some time to catch up.

Ah, thanks. Too bad that that name isn't resolving yet for me.

Well, for freshrpms.net packages, just use the RHL9 ones, nearly all should work just fine. For the few problematic ones (currently dependency-wise), you'll need a manual download from here :

Indeed, I just updated my fedora box with mostly shrike 386 packages from freshrpms - things like mplayer are working fine here. I did rebuild a source rpm of tvtime, but that may not even have been neccessary.
