Not as yet, more through laziness than an ideological commitment to the one true way, erm, I mean APT :)
Nah, that said, SMART sounds like the way forward, especially if & when someone implements YaST repository support.
For anyone who doesn't know, SMART supports APT, YUM, and a bunch of other package repository formats (Red Carpet?). -- James Ogley james@usr-local-bin.org Packages for SUSE: http://usr-local-bin.org/rpms Make Poverty History: http://makepovertyhistory.org
Please excuse my ignorance but could somebody briefly run through the differences in these package managers?
They are all front ends to rpm, just different eye candy with each. Some other underlying differences as well. Smart seems to be 'smarter' than the others. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998
