Why aren't they better? Exactly *what* is so bad about RPM and DEB? at least with rpms/rpm programs 1 No easy way to dump your install cds in a folder and <strong>quickly</strong> have deps auto-resolved 2 How does one recover from a burnt rpm database and have the info acurate? 3 dep trees get way too large. i propose ap.rpm, aplib.rpm, apclient.rpm, apserver.rpm, apextras.rpm so you don't land up installing glibc*.rpm just to get say a DVD player running (and if your ap deps on someone elses ap then have a copy on your site!)
