Hello all,

I've been meaning to do this for a long time. My packages are now
available in an apt repository. This makes updating much easier as apt
finds the rpms, detects whether they need upgrading and performs the
upgrade.  Simpler than fiddling around with wget, or [nc]ftp.

Add the following to /etc/apt/sources.list to include my repository in
your list of apt repositories, and configure as appropriate:

# Also available at ftp://ftp.WL0.org/apt/sources.list
#                   http://postfix.WL0.org/ftp/apt/sources.list
# Postfix APT Repository
#
# Format:
#rpm http://postfix.WL0.org ftp/apt/$distribution/$release/$arch postfix
# Available for $distribution,$release,$arch
#	redhat,8.0,i386
#	redhat,7.3,i386
#	redhat,7.2,i386
#	redhat,7.0-1,i386
#	redhat,7.0-1,sparc
#	redhat,6.x,i386
#	redhat,6.x,alpha
#	redhat,6.x,sparc
#	redhat,6.x,s390
#	redhat,5.x,i386
#	yellowdog,2.3,ppc
#
# Example for RedHat 8.0
#rpm http://postfix.WL0.org ftp/apt/redhat/8.0/i386 postfix
#rpm-src http://postfix.WL0.org ftp/apt/redhat/8.0/i386 postfix

For those of you who don't know about apt there is more information here

Let me know of any problems as this is my first attempt at setting up an
APT repository.

Simon
