the LSB decided a long time ago to rely on a SUBSET of the rpm package FORMAT (not utility) to be their package format.
We don't have to worry about package dependancies being not fulfilled b/w the various distributions, because if a package depends on things outside of the LSB it has to include them, and they will be compiled against the LSB libraries, not the individual distributions libraries (which could be the LSB libraries, but don't have to be). every argument has been gone through already, this is a waste of time to read, a waste of bandwidth, and it probably agravates the people who try to do the heavy lifting. Read the archives if you want to know how the decision was made, if you disagree, ok. But the decision was made a long time ago. Let's move on. sheesh, shaya -- [EMAIL PROTECTED],yucs.org,us.ibm.com} avoid the us.ibm.com for now as I don't have access to Lotus Notes
