The folding of the Fedora Legacy prject pretty much broke tha camells back as far as using FC as our OS since the lifespan is now limited to what, 1 year max?
Yup. They are going for 6 month releases and only issuing updates for the current and previous release. Given that Fedora Legacy never really took off, that's probably the only sensible decision for them. The new Fedora install tools (pungi and the live cd creator) look like they'd be useful for us, but hopefully they'll get ported to rhas/centos at some point. https://hosted.fedoraproject.org/projects/pungi
That being said, I did a package availability test a while back that yielded about 12-18 packages that are in roo but not available from the CentOS5 branch *at the time*. I seem to recall them stating that they are working on stuff that is tipically found in what used to be called FC extras etc. which is where the missing packages come from but have not checked back since then (TODO++).
Doesn't look too bad. 18 packages, some of which are Honeynet packages anyway:
