No repository creation burden on the gwdg.de server anylonger, the server can now just focus on delivering rpms ;)
Yes, that's a big pro. :)
Hmm, does this mean that apt/apt4rpm/synaptic will phase out???
That might be...., although it is not needed. It could be provided via the build_service. But look at how much work Pascal Bleser puts into smart to have it supported nicely, why not use smart. The recently released apt-rpm version is able to process repodata (as provided by the buildservice), but the output you get while being apt updates is not really clear. It is like: getting ftp://ftp.... primary.xml.gz getting ftp://ftp.... primary.xml.gz getting ftp://ftp.... primary.xml.gz So, no idea what is happing. Smart-gui on the other hand shows what is going on, I have no idea what smart (cli) does. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
