Will rpms for 10.1 run on 10.2?
It's actually quite sad that all packaging effort in Linux needs to be endlessly replicated. Same thing done over and over again for years. Time for Novell propose something radical in rpm.org (now that it's getting on again)?
Let's say we are happy with the fact that we do not need to carry _all_ over the backwards compatibility stuff like Windows does. We can do it with a few compat-*.rpms, compat symbols (`nm /lib/libc.so.6 | grep @@` and you will see). There is no problem with vendors shipping source code (we can recompile), and even with vendors choosing not doing so provide quite static binaries (e.g. DialogBlocks, Unreal Tournament) or compat environments (VMware), which also works. Anything I prefer over the Compat and DLL Hell in Windows. -`J' -- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
