I asked this before when I configured another CentOS box, but I forget the answer. In my apt sources folder, I don't have a repo that is the equivalent of the yum Centos.Base.repo. Where do I find such a file?

The apt for CentOS has: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/centos.list
If you upgrade apt from another source, that file might go away.

It would be nice though, to have this config-file outside the apt package and inside another package (like centos-release). rpmforge-release contains the configuration for apt, yum, smart and a description for up2date.
Purists will probably hate to have 3 config-files in place when they only use one. (and they are free to remove the rpmforge-release package :)) But it simplifies the configuration and doesn't conflict with other packages.

The responses given last time are still valid. Be aware though that yum has now some very nifty features such as yumex/plugins. On my testbed machine i have about 280 packages protected from 3rd party repos that want to overwrite the packages in base.
If i was using apt4rpm it would swallow all those packages, so you might wanna check out those plugins.
FWIW apt4rpm has long been without development upsteam since the company that developed it was bought by Mandriva and dooes not intend to develop it.

not true anymore! apt4rpm is now again under active development, their multilib issues are being worked on and it supports rpm-md format repos ( the sort that yum 2.2+ use )

Certainly according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apt4rpm and on the developer's page he announces that he has packed it in. If this information is incorrect the Wikipedia article/sourceforge projects may well need updating.
Where is the new home page of the project and where do they announce that PPC/multilib issues have been overcome?

https://moin.conectiva.com.br/AptRpm
Panu Matilainen (also active in yum development) has become very actively involved in apt for rpm.
We may build and release the latest update soon.
Although ... I think the above linked site is the basis for the apt4rpm program at sourceforge ... so that site may now not be doing anything (I could be wrong about this though).
The conectiva apt project was almost dead ... but seems now resurrected.
Thanks, Johnny Hughes
