Listing of FC3 Distribution Iso RPMS

[David Curry]

Recently, someone on fedora-list compiled a listing of rpms included in 
each of the distribution isos for Fedora Core 3 and posted them on a web 
site.  I took such great care in filing the web sites URL in a safe 
place that it is forever safe from me :-) .  Would someone on the list 
point me to it again?

I want to identify all FC3 ALSA-related packages and try to rebuild them 
for FC2.  That seems a viable alternative to waiting for bugfixes to FC2 
alsa packages which will probably never materialize.  (Sound recording 
does not work in FC2 but does in FC3.)

TIA

Thanks for the suggestion, Rahul.  I have stayed away from the fedora 
devel list because I lack the technical skills to even think about 
developing software.  Since several FC2 users on this list could 
benefit, though, an official update of FC2 alsa packages strikes me as a 
good idea.  My own efforts to rebuild FC2 packages could prove 
problematic as well and even if successful the other FC2 users would 
still be out of luck unless they were willing to take the chance that my 
rpms would not harm their systems.

Instead of subscribing to the devel list, though, maybe it would be best 
if I could direct the attention of fedora list subscribers who are also 
on the devel list.  In an effort to do so, I will start a post a message 
here with an appropriate subject title.

you DO NOT need to be developing software in the distribution to
discuss *development* issues related to fedora. broken sound recording
is one such issue.

Then I owe you double thanks and compliments for constructing the lists 
to begin with!  :-)
