Sorry Clayton, but this is opensuse-_factory_ - so I'm interested in feedback on latest development only. And I want to know concrete error messages of specific problems, where $smart handles this more user friendly.
Greetings, Stephan
Hi, I have only used mandrake, which was very bland, besides suse since my introduction to suse 7.3 so I cannot compare yast to any non rpm package manager. I stumbled into factory suse in search of a yast which kept downloaded packages and my wish came true. Unlike most others, my only system is factory and I went through a period where yast was unusable. I tried smart along the way and had a hard time with repositories and keys and also found it to be untrustworthy. The journey was worthwhile because now I have an extremely efficient yast which, if the software versions tab( Bug 354983 ) worked IMHO would be ready for the world. If software management had proper setup for its new features it would be perfect. Just out of interest, aren't debian packages much larger than rpms.
