Alpha Core Testing Repository

The repo entries below contain setups for the live,
hot-off-the-presses 
yum repositories for Alpha Core updates and extras that have
been built 
with a fancy new copy of the Fedora build system. I'd
appreciate hearing 
success/horror stories regarding the packages in these
repositories.

All packages are signed using the updates key, available
here: 
http://ftp.alphacore.info/alpha/core/3/os/RPM-GP
G-KEY-ac-updates

Packages in updates: 
http://genuine-article.alphacore.inf
o/live/testing/updates/3/alpha/repodata/

Packages in extras:
http://genuine-article.alphacore.info
/live/testing/extras/3/alpha/repodata/

("yum install vlc" should be possible very soon!)

Hi,

It works, but I had to manually enter "3" instead
of $releasever in  
the baseurl. $releasever returns 5.
It would also be a good idea to include gaim in the updates
as I  
mentioned on the list before.

Ah, yes - that was previously discussed on this list.
Because Alpha  
Core 3 == Fedora Core 5, and Alpha Core 3 ships with the
"fedora- 
release" package, the distro by default thinks it is
version 5.

There's an "alphacore-release" package in updates
that obsoletes  
"fedora-release" and makes $releasever work as
expected. However, you  
need to manually install that or override the yum config
like you did  
first. Catch-22 at its finest, really.

More packages are indeed coming, the set there is mainly
just to test  
the build process. Then there's the issue of what to do when
FC5  
updates stop coming out in a couple of months, now there's
no Fedora  
Legacy to feed from. I might push out a 3.1 around that time
if I get  
a chance, but we'll see how the AC4/FC7 situation looks
first.
