I dont think its practical to use rpm in these environments because of the database rpm uses to store the metadata. I havent done anything to busybox dpkg/apt-get for about a month, i was making a push towrds busybox apt-get. got something semi-functional, but didnt get dependency checking working properly (again).... and memory requirements went up significantly. I started working on it again yesterday. If/when i do get a busybox based retreiver working then it will makes things much simpler for the installer.
