While zypper is a very powerful and useful tool, I've always found package management on linux to be a huge duplication of effort and storage(ie multiple versions of a program for not only each distro but also for each version of each distro).
I haven't noticed anything about this on this list.
Maybe because they completely ignore the packaging process? Its a way of describing and installing binary packages. It completely ignores the generation of the binary. Just read their developer/packager documentation. <cite> I can't find a generic binary for the program I want to package! Popular projects usually provide a "generic" binary tarball, which works on most Linux distributions. This is the best archive to put in the feed. If there isn't one, it might mean that the developers couldn't get a single binary to work on multiple distributions, or it might just mean they haven't tried. </cite> That means its nothing else then our one-click-install i think :) Henne -- Henne Vogelsang, openSUSE.
