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!)
