... and not really a tool for managing rpms either, unless I've missed a feature. What red carpet lets you do is to "mount" a directory as a "channel". It will then present you with a list of all rpms in that directory that are already installed and available for update, or already installed with the same or newer version. Very handy for mass installations of large numbers of rpms, and extremely useful when you want to install the same rpms on several machines, all running rcd And using the open-carpet tools from open-carpet.org it's very simple to construct your own repository, plus you get access to the repositories constructed for apt4rpm through that site as well (though it seems only for 9.0, it won't do anything that I can see for 8.2) There's even a command line tool. "rug subscribe funktronics" followed by "rug install freevo" for example. No editing of config files necessary A very nifty tool. I only hope now that ximian + suse = true, they integrate it into yast and kill off YOU
