This clearly states that suse left apt out of distro to soon.
huh? When was it ever in?
apt-rpm was part of SUSE Linux 10.0, but has been dropped with the incorporation of SMART (and YUM) at the time of SUSE Linux 10.1 Alpha1 (or 2). This has been discussed extensively and I remeber Richard being quite supportive of this decision back then ;)
That was for repodata. Unfortenately not a lot is happening (at least I don't see it) in this area.... Where are the milestones, when can we expect something? Concerning smart: I see that it has the potential to fully replace apt. But sofar it misses apt functionality, like signature checking, log creation and such. When this is addressed I have no problems at all to use smart. I really hope that the feedback that I have given will be remembered. Perhaps it is feedback from a really advanced apt user, but there are people out there that want to use that functionality. -- Richard
