Plone Apt repository

Thanks to Interlix who provide the server and the bandwidth, it was possible to setup a RPM Apt repository for Plone. The Plone Apt repository is currently in testing stage and only available for Fedora Core 1 users.

You can access the packages directly via the package overview. Or better, choose Apt to take care of installing software and resolving dependencies.

Supported Platforms

Fedora Core 1

This Apt repository is currently in experimental state. More platforms will follow soon.

Getting started

Apt originally was developed by the Debian project to work together with DEB packages. Since there are not many technical differences between RPM and DEB packages, Conectiva ported Apt to use RPM.

To install Apt, download the latest package for your distribution from: http://apt.freshrpms.net/. This will make sure your Apt is configured properly.

If you have Apt installed, please add the following statements to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/longsleep.list:

### longsleep's Plone RPM Repository for Fedora Core 1
rpm http://www.interlix.com/repo/ fedora/1/en/i386 longsleep

If you've done that, the rest is simple. Update the local repository meta-data by doing:

>>> apt-get update

And finally you can add Plone by typing:

>>> apt-get install Plone2

Remember to update your local repository often before upgrading or installing software, so that you can enjoy the latest and greatest.

Thanks

Thanks go to Edward Muller from Interlix for providing the webspace for this Apt repository.
