I think this is more a chance for the big distros to be compatible together
because there are a lot of differences between them (at example the most
in /etc) and i don't think this could be solved with only an api.

One of the big advantage of arch is that the building of packages is realy the
best understable way what i know. The only advantage of rpm is that you can
build more than one package with one spec file but it is realy harder to read
the spec file than a PKGBUILD.-)

It was time that they all come together because at this moment at example you
can't take a rpm for redhat and install it on a suse system. I have heard
that this is same for ubuntu and debian but i don't know it exactly. That's
why the big distros need this and arch don't need it at this moment from my
view.

See you, Attila
