APT Repository for Fedora Extras?

[Gordon Keehn]

    I've gathered from this forum that apt, synaptic, and (I assume) a 
bunch of other good stuff, is available in the Fedora Extras collection. 
  Is there an APT Repository containing Core 1 versions of these 
packages?  I installed apt and synaptic from RPMs pulled from 
ayo.freshrpms.net. I added the lines for extras from the sample on the 
freshrpms site, to my sources.list file, but I get warning messages from 
both apt and synaptic suggesting that the "extras" repository isn't.  (I 
don't have the text of the messages, as this is all happening on one of 
my home PCs, and at the moment I'm at work.)
    Is there a repository I can use to keep apt and synaptic current, 
and to install other tools from the "extras" collection?
    Cheers,
Gordon keehn

    Perhaps I should have been clearer.  (Or maybe you should have read 
more than the first two sentences?)  I am looking for a repository which 
contains the packages in the Fedora Extras collection.  They are not in 
the repositories mentioned above.

Well, I did read your entire message, but I fail to see the relationship
between the first two sentences and the rest. It doesn't become clear
either what you refer to as "Fedora Extras". Fedora Extras does not
exist yet except for what you can read on http://fedora.redhat.com
and http://fedora.us

Uhm, the repository linked above does contain "apt" and "synaptic"
for
Fedora Core 1.

If you are looking for a specific rpm package for fc1 ( or fc2 as well), 
there is one place to check out, use the browser and enter the url 
"fecoratracker.org", in there you can find the the repositories by rpm 
package name, per fc1 or fc2 etc.
Hope this will help.
