The only distro that I can get to do all the above is Mandrake 9.1. The reason Suse 8.2 fails the test is that it runs RPM version 3.0.6. Any plans to get Suse to a more recent version? I know that if I stick with Suse rpm's for everything it will work just fine but as normally happens, customers require additional software not in the original distro and yum happens to require rpm version 4.x+. Is there any plans to upgrade rpm on 8.2 or the next release of suse?
Is there a special reason you go for yam?
Hi, I use it because as I stated, 'that's what the customer wants'. thanks all for the help. Kevin
As the "Obvious Questions" questions states "why not just use e.g. apt-rpm?". So you could use apt-rpm, but I think yast package mngr (ypm) can do the job too.
More about apt-rpm at http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm.
