[edit] Overview

Atomicrocketturtle.com (ART) is a project aimed at creating RPM's and add-ons for the Plesk Server Administrator (PSA) environment. Packages are distributed through a yum archive: http://www.atomicorp.com/channels/. The archive is broken out into a 3 level heirarchy:

[atomic] - Stable packages are maintained in this channel. For the vast majority of users, this is the only channel you will likely need to have configured on your system.

[atomic-testing] - Packages going through QA, sometimes newer packages may be available in this channel. It is generally used as a storage location for packages that are almost done, but still have some major issues with integration remaining.

[atomic-bleeding] - Untested/Known bad packages, this channel is seldom used these days.
