This is Panu Matilainen's latest work-in-progress apt for Fedora Core 1. 
  Please assist us by submiting unidiffs for changing the specfile and 
SOURCES/* so that this builds and works properly on RH7.x.  After we 
have a working package, your assistance in testing functionality will be 
needed.  Among the changes necessary:

* The BuildRequires for FC1 are very different than RH7.x.  Most of the
components exist in RH7.x with different names.  Please figure out the 
minimum BuildRequires set necessary for RH7.x
* http://fedora.laiskiainen.org/fedora-mirrors.list
Panu's apt for FC1 downloads the latest mirrors list from a static URL, 
then makes the administrator choose mirrors the first time you use 
apt-get.  Please help in finding mirrors that carry the complete Legacy 
RH7.x repository and rebuild this list file for Legacy.
* Please verify that the GPG signature verification lua works with 
rpm-4.0.4.
* Please verify that this apt works within chroots with and without 
/proc mounted.

If you have discussion about this package, DISCUSS HERE in the mailing 
list.  If you have fixes to submit, then attach it to the Bugzilla 
report.  Bugzilla keyword LEGACY was added for this and all future 
Legacy specific packages.
