Hi Axel,

Fernando and I had quite a discussion about it on this list starting on 
November 24.  It doesn't seem to be a problem with all repositories, but 
there are simply some yum and apt repositories that work perfectly well 
with up2date and others that don't.  Nobody has come up with an 
explanation as to why yet.  Since both the yum and apt repositories for 
Planet CCRMA don't work my guess was that it was a "problem" (more like 
a difference) with the RPMs, but Fernando doubts it.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=152858

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=130556

Someone at Red Hat was the original reporter of the problem, and since 
it is a Red Hat program you think someone would have made a lot of 
headway on it by now, but they haven't.

If you can figure out why Fernando's (and others') repositories don't 
work and yours do, I think the Fedora Project community would be in a 
lot of debt to you.  Maybe they will finally listen to you about Fedora 
Extras. ;-)

Peace,
William
