It was one of those brilliant pieces of software - it did exactly what you wanted and seemed to never break. (Of course, someone in management apparently thought that was reason enough to replace it.)
It did not handle changing dependencies, had only one repository, not good handling of Patch CDs etc ...
But THOSE problems would have been more easily fixed than the ones you have now. Patch CDs? You jest right Marcus? I've been running SuSE since dial-up on 7.0 and I've never seen a patch CD. It would be obsolete before it was sent to master!! They are not likely to be any more prevalent in the future. If something new was needed, why not apt or yum or something proven rather than something all new? NIH? -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
