Well as long as the tools we are talking about 1) Do use rpm 2) Do valid dependency resolution (i.e not --nodeps or something like that) I don't see why we shouldn't allow them. lets say yum install foo does: foo, bar1, baz1 $nonyumtool install foo does: foo, bar2, baz2 Both bar1/baz1 and bar2/baz2 are valid deps for foo (both statify the dependency). So why would it matter what in the end? If that causes "bugs" then either of the deps are wrong (and the packages in question ought to be fixed). So I don't get what this flamefest is all about ... -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
