This thread is about what's annoying about the package management. .exe processes are.
.exe processes are neither specific to the package management nor can they be influenced by the people who are designing the package management architecture for SUSE Linux.
So you say that the SUSE package management designers were forced to use mono .exe files regardless of whether it makes sense? Interesting conspiracy theory.
Try a Mono or, maybe even better, an ECMA mailing list.
Sorry, I googled for "ecma mailing list exe" and found nothing relevant. However, some sites seem to suggest .exe is not the only recommended suffix for .NET code.
The .exe extension is specific to the mswindows platform (can one say of legendary notoriety?).
No it isn't.
Examples please? (Except mono, which seems to be a reimplementation of windows-only .NET code. And no, being able to use wine for some .exe files doesn't make them cross-platform either.) Regards, Carl-Daniel -- http://www.hailfinger.org/
