Try to convince the rpm developers. It would be useless if SUSE created its own version of rpm.
Yes, rpm does have a number of drawbacks (like the inability to keep track of package renames) which we'll have to live with as long as its the standard packaging method.
True. Would it be possible for Yast to handle those things, like package renames across suse updates? It would be nice :-) -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
