   That depends on what type of RPM-based system you're using.  For
Red Hat/Fedora I'd try:
Fedora Extras:          http://www.fedora.us/
Fedora Extras (non-us): http://rpm.livna.org
Dag Apt Repository:	http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/
ATrpms:			http://atrpms.net/
FreshRPMS:		http://freshrpms.net/

   Each of these pages offers direct access to the files and
instructions for configuring your favorite package grabber (apt, yum,
up2date, etc).  If you're truly brave, you can put every repository
you find in one .conf and pretend it's a Debian system.  A
pre-configured yum.conf for Fedora Core 2 can be found here:
http://www.fedorafaq.org/samples/yum.conf
   Similar resources do exist for other distros, but I don't know
where to look.  A web search for "[packagename] rpm" will usually turn
up one or two useful leads.
