Should be. The general favourite seems to be yum but apt works too.
I'm
not sure if yum direct off
sf.net works with all their weird redirect
stuff
no, the crazy redirects from sf don't work for any of the downloaders
I've seen, so far.
Also work is continuing on providing a common metadata format for
apt/yum/redcarpet/up2date and others. If we succeed in a new format then
there will be no real difference b/t an apt repository and a yum
repository.
it will simply be a package repository. (and much rejoicing will be
heard, hopefully ;)
