Discussion:
FC1 APT repo on fedora.us is hosed

Trying to update from FCtest2 to FC1 using APT with download.fedora.us
appears to be impossible.

the repo layout transitioned to RPMS.{os,updates,etc...} and
SRPMS.{os,updates,etc...} yet the base/{pkglist,srclist}.* files rely on
the old naming scheme; e.g os rather than RPMS.os

SO.. in the end when using these entries in sources.list:

rpm http://download.fedora.us/ fedora/fedora/1/i386 RPMS.os RPMS.updates
rpm-src http://download.fedora.us/ fedora/fedora/1/i386 SRPMS.os SRPMS.updates

I get messages like:
Failed to fetch http://download.fedora.us/fedora/fedora/1/i386/base/pkglist.RPMS.os 404 Not Found
Failed to fetch http://download.fedora.us/fedora/fedora/1/i386/base/pkglist.RPMS.updates 404 Not Found

So it would seem like the fedora.us APT infrastructure has been left out
in the cold; will the fedora.us APT repo continue to be maintained?

Are there other APT'ified FC1 repos I should try out?

Please advise, thanks!

I am investigating... but upon looking at the structure manually nothing
appears to be wrong. This is exactly the structure that fedora.us has
used for almost a year now.

Doing more investigations... hold...

rpm-src http://download.fedora.us/ fedora/fedora/1/i386 SRPMS.os SRPMS.updates
Confirmed, you simply configured it improperly.

rpm http://download.fedora.us/fedora fedora/1/i386 os updates stable
rpm-src http://download.fedora.us/fedora fedora/1/i386 os updates stable

This is the default apt configuration for fedora.us.

'RPMS.' 'SRPMS.' must not appear in the config file. So you should have
something like :
rpm http://download.fedora.us/fedora fedora/1/i386 os updates

You can also add 'stable', 'testing' and 'unstable' components.
If you wants some add-ons (media players..) you can also use
http://rpm.livna.org/ repository
