Hi all, I was just wondering if there are any package managers for SuSE 7.3 that off relatively up to date packages. I know that 7.3 uses RPMS, but my understanding is that the RPMs for SuSE at this version level were slightly different from everyone else's, which led to compiling problems. Is there any kind of package management system out there that can be used instead of the old SuSE RPM system?

As far as I know SuSE is an RPM based system concerning the package management. There is an apt4rpm solution also for later versions, and you can of course compile your own stuff if you want. But for 7.3 PPC you got nothing else. You can either use RPM or compile your stuff from source tarballs. There is alien, which converts Debian deb packages to RPM, but we are at the same issue again. Tell us what consideration led you to make you looking for an other solution? Regards, Vakvarju
