[OT?] FC1 Fedora Legacy Up2Date.

[[NICK]]

Hi All,

Not Sure if I should be asking this here or on the FC-L list (sorry).

Can I use up2date to maintain FC1 ? I've had a look on
fedoralegacy.org & nothing stands out, does anyone know if this can be
done ? [If so how ;-) ]

Thanks In Advance

FL provides a yum repository for updates - and you can specify a yum
repository to up2date.

I guess the following addition in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources should do
the trick

yum fedora-legacy-updates ftp://mirror3.cs.wisc.edu/pub/mirrors/linux/download.fedoralegacy.org/fedora/1/updates/i386

(however there are no updates available yet)

The Fedora Legacy list is certainly a bit better :) Though it is a
relevant question for many FC1 users, especially for those who so far do
not care for the responsibility transfer to the Fedora Legacy Project
regarding FC1 security updates.

Yes, you can. Just adjust your sources file. The FL mirrors have the
repositories already.
