When will QA cycle end for apt on RH 8.0?

[Wray Cason]

I don't know about apt but there is already a yum system built for RH8.  I am
using it presently.  Instructions can be found at http://www.fedoralegacy.org.
 The gyrations you are currently going through are definitely unnecessary. 
And as far as I know, you can scrap up2date, although the newer version is yum
compatible.  you could continue using up2date if you wish.
