Michael, I'm going to accept your claim, IF either
- you convince the RPM people to accept such a change officially - e.g. next
fedora isn't accepting anything on stdin in rpm scripts. That way, you force
those silly rpm creators to rethink their sillyness
or
- you convince your bosses to buy VMware and force them that way to create
proper rpm packages.
But until then, please cope with standard rpm behavior. If you change only
Novells version of rpm, the web will fill up with silly "Novell blocks VMware
products" statements. Do you want that? (I bet, your management will intervene
at this point).
Sure, I hate the VMware-Workstation rpm behavior. It's brain devastated. It's
effectively ostracising package management (which is one important reason for
me to keep using your products). But my users depend on VMware-Workstation,
which allowed me to run SUSE Linux desktops diskless in a commercial setting
since 1998, and believe me, it's hard enough to keep up even without any
package management handling issues.
