Hi Pavol,
Zypper has been on our radar for a while now and *is* on the feature list for
the first meego release.

To make this happen faster, here is question about something I have been
struggling with today :)
Are patterns supported in repo-md style repos? I have patterns.xml in the repo
(generated by obs) but zypper does not show the pattern, although I can see
that the metadata has been fetched and parsed into the solv file.

Any hints?

Anas

Hi all!

You might have heard about Maemo+Moblin being merged into MeeGo
platform. The FAQ[1] says it will use RPM as its packaging system. But
AFAIK it hasn't been decided which package management system will be
used. (Moblin uses yum and Maemo uses apt). My thought is to approach
MeeGo developers and ask them whether they've thought about zypper. It
is similar to yum, but is faster and has lower memory footprint (C++ vs
Python). This is crucial for mobile devices and might be a really good
reason to switch. If we'll be able to persuade them, it will bring a
huge users and developers base to zypper. What do you think?
