I second this. The strength of Ubuntu is package management. I agree, but "package management" covers a lot of ground - let's try to be more specific.
I think it's not so much yast/zen/rug being bad is the issue - now that they work - and hopefully they'll have better performance in 10.2..
I think mostly what's a problem is finding and managing repos. It would help a lot if more of the 3rd party repos could join under the packman umbrella perhaps.
I'd like to see some specific enhancement requests in bugzilla for this.
A bugzilla ticket for community repositories to join Packman ...? huh? oO The problem is, once again, legal. It was pretty much the first thing I tried to address in the scope of openSUSE.org It's not possible, because most community repositories (at least Packman and mine) contain packages that Novell cannot link to, for legal reasons (e.g. packages like lame, mad, ...). Well, actually, it's for potential patent infringement problems (not copyright issues). Yes, even *linking* or referencing the Packman or guru (or whatever) repository is a potential problem for Novell. I think it is supposed to be checked by Novell's legal dept but is still pending since half a year. I might be wrong though, I know I asked Adrian about it not so long ago, but I don't remember what the state was (just back from 3 weeks holidays, I flushed my brain from anything computer-related ;)). cheers - -- -o) Pascal Bleser http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/ /\\ <pascal.bleser@skynet.be> <guru@unixtech.be> _\_v The more things change, the more they stay insane. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFEwWIjr3NMWliFcXcRAvdEAJwLCXWXzCbZOC4JubpAyM792gW/ngCfRATe 9gEMxD4/NysxKChVY1mrcxQ= =Ks7q -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-help@opensuse.org
