PGP is not an APT or up2date feature, it's a basic packaging format feature that RPM has and debs don't. Debs' biggest disadvantage, I agree. > Will report to you what was done.

Seems to me APT is a more flexible, letting you mix and match various source (stable, unstable, extras, non-free etc). But then again, Red Carpet lets you do the same thing. Doesn't up2date? I'd say whether or not those sources are inside or outside Red Hat / Debian is not a technological issue (unless I misunderstood what you meant by technological issue). > Requires subscription (even if it's free, at the moment). Not a technological issue? I've always thought APT to be superior technologically, because of its flexibility and robustness (and you like its client-centrism). up2date seemed rather kludgy to me the last time I looked at it... Which was a while ago. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
