Is it easier to make good debs than making good rpms ?Whth urpmi you have to update entire filelists everytime you want to upgrade/download from an internet source because otherwise you get pointers to unavailables packages.
Is it easier to make debs at all ?
Why is it easier ?
What could be done to make it easier to make RPMs , or what does RPM lacks so that it isn't possible to make it easier ?
Could there be made a GUI for making RPMs safely out of sources , fast and easy ?
with apt-get update you don't have to.
Packages are up to date everytime. I don't know precisely how it work but you don't have to update entire filelists everytime.
Filelists represent like 25MB of data on a cooker + contribs this is quite huge to download whan you just like to update one or two packages or just want one new installed.
maybe Mandrakesoft can improove urpmi in some way in that direction.
