I made this apt repository of Phoebe for myself in order to speed up my 
K12LTSP testing, but everyone is free to use it if you wish.  Please let 
me know if you wish to mirror this repository, I will give you rsync access.

apt required a hack to /usr/include/rpm/rpmds.h in order to compile 
properly.

By default apt will not install any packages that replace or conflict 
with Red Hat packages.  Several optional channels are available that may 
possibly conflict, described below.

/etc/apt/sources.list:

Fedora currently contains apt, synaptic, lvcool, gtkspell, and ccache. 
ccache is useful for saving time when developing RPMS, while lvcool 
keeps my Athon laptop from overheating.   (APM and Phoebe ACPI doesn't 
seem to put Athlons into STPGNT state like 2.5.x ACPI.  This state makes 
for dramatic temperature reductions during idle.  Should this be filed 
as a Phoebe bug/RFE?)

Fedora Unstable currently contains only gaim-0.60cvs.  It seems to work 
very nicely, integrating into the systray icon of both Gnome or KDE's 
panel and fixing the text disappearance bug that exists in gaim-0.59-11.

Fedora K12LTSP will soon contain packages needed to run Red Hat as a 
K12LTSP thin client server.  I'm currently working on porting these from 
K12LTSP 3.0 beta.

kerneldevel currently contains modifications to modutils and mkinitrd in 
   order to properly test 2.5.x kernels on Phoebe.  mkinitrd contains a 
small patch that prevents 2.4.x kernel installation from breaking if 
someone has module-init-tools installed.  I hope this patch can make it 
into Rawhide because it shouldn't effect anything else.
