Could somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong, or is RPM a Microsoft conspiracy to make Linux look bad:
I love it! Will file this away. RPM, like any other software product, has
syntax that must be learned. That being said, any package manager that does not
do dependancy resolution is borken, from my perspective.
So that raises a question. What application can replace rpm and provide dependency resolution?
Suggestions anyone.
apt4rpm
Tell us more! Does apt4rpm really run the dependancy chains and download prerequisites? That would make RPM almost tolerable.
Yes. I was using it to keep kde updated, mostly. I got into a little trouble executing 'apt-get dist-upgrade', which broke gdm for me, but other than that, it's been quite a good experience.
For GUI lovers, there's synaptic, which uses apt.
Info redargding apt4rpm for redhat can be found at http://freshrpms.net and/or on the kde-redhat site, http://kde-redhat.sf.net
