Note: ATrpms repository replaces packages in the Fedora core repository. Use with caution

ATrpms is officially launching Fedora Core 4 support for i386 and x86_64.

	http://ATrpms.net/dist/fc4/

Most packages were offered during FC4t2 and FC4t3 releases, but the
rebuild for FC4 final had some delays due to some larger
restructuring:

o Preferred download location is http://dl.atrpms.net/ (new directory
  layout). The old URLs under apt.atrpms.net will still remain valid
  for a transition time, but will be less often updated.

o "stable", "testing" and "bleeding", the three subrepos per
  distribution are not anymore cumulative inclusive on the server
  side. This was done to reduce the time the metadata recreation
  requires.
  E.g. you need to add "stable" for "testing", and both "stable"
  and "testing" for "bleeding".

ATrpms is a 3rd party general purpose package repository. It currently
supports

o FC4/i386, FC4/x86_64, FC3/i386, FC3/x86_64, FC2/i386, FC2/x86_64, FC1
o RHEL4/i386, RHEL4/x86_64, RHEL3/i386, RHEL3/x86_64
o RH9, RH8.0 and RH7.3

ATrpms support for some of these distribution will soon go EOL.
