Guillaume, it should be nice to add extra functionnalities added since one year ? Does someone is interrested ? For example, * ssh:// and rsync:// supported protocol. * distributed installation support. * cache management improved. * urpmf logical expression management. * mirrors management support compatible with urpmi.setup. * allow some global options to be defined in urpmi.cfg file. * a lot of newer options since for urpmq/urpmi/urpmf. > Yes, exactly what I was thinking :-) > Very good intro, that is what make me discover urpmi.

No, it is a rpm, urpmi should work on other distros, and urpmi can work if you build media of package not initially done for Mandrake. There is no specific extension in rpm for urpmi, only standard flag are used. Fran�ois.
