There IS the headers directory that contains .hdr files and headers.info 
for the "os" and "updates" channel.  Currently both RH7.2 and RH7.3 are 
populated, and yum + apt enabled.

We need people to work on and submit apt and yum packages for RH7.2 and 
RH7.3 to fedora.us QA as specified here:
http://www.fedora.us/wiki/PackageSubmissionQAPolicy

Until people do so, your only choice is to get apt or yum from 
FreshRPMS.net, and reconfigure it to use Fedora Legacy.

Please excuse me if the sites go down late Friday because I am dealing 
with a crisis here.  The University only informs me tonght that the 
power will be out from late Friday until Monday.  I am currently 
scrambling to get download.fedora.us moved to another server off campus 
and as much of the other infrastructure on different servers as possible.

Luckily this mailing list is hosted at redhat.com so we can at least 
communicate.  Hopefully I will have at least bugzilla.fedora.us, 
download.fedora.us and www.fedora.us moved off campus so we can continue 
to work on this during the weekend.
