there was a moment where we had 2 solutions, both time costly: - dump urpmi, and switch to apt-get - enhance urpmi cons for switching to apt-get: - apt-get for rpm still needed some work - apt-get for rpm doesn't like file requires (eg: "Requires: /usr/bin/perl") - apt-get doesn't handle choices (but rpmdrake doesn't either) - we don't know apt-get (which is much bigger than urpmi, currently 11Kloc vs 4Kloc) - francois doesn't like C++ anymore :) (did I say I don't either ? oops, sorry! [1]) - urpmi can be more easily tuned for the Mandrake distribution -- [1] Shameless advertising: http://merd.net/
