No. The main fedora repository isn't apt-enabled (and thus wont work
with synaptic either). The only apt-enabled development tree I'm aware
of is at freshrpms, try this instead:
--
URI:
http://ayo.freshrpms.net
Distribution: fedora/linux/development/i386
Section(s): core
Ok, Panu, thanks for that tip.
I did that, updated the list, and that worked fine, however when I chose to
override the version of kde-base (from 3.1.4 to 3.1.95), Synaptic failed to
download all the packages.
I guess I could wait a while and try again.
You didn't say whether you use Synaptic or not, I'm wondering if the default
settings are sufficient for what I want to do?
