That way, you force those silly rpm creators to rethink their sillyness or - you convince your bosses to buy VMware and force them that way to create proper rpm packages. But until then, please cope with standard rpm behavior. If you change only Novells version of rpm, the web will fill up with silly "Novell blocks VMware products" statements. Do you want that? (I bet, your management will intervene at this point). Sure, I hate the VMware-Workstation rpm behavior. It's brain devastated. It's effectively ostracising package management (which is one important reason for me to keep using your products). But my users depend on VMware-Workstation, which allowed me to run SUSE Linux desktops diskless in a commercial setting since 1998, and believe me, it's hard enough to keep up even without any package management handling issues. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
