I've started to ramble on some of the features, issues, ideas etc. to
work on and consider
for our (Mandriva Linux) next development cycle, and in the interest

coordinating efforts with others, while inviting others to contribute:

While it's certainly written from a vendor POV (and also rather crude
for the moment), I'm cross-posting
this one as it's of potential interest to others as well and the idea
is for things to be as generic as
possible anyhows.. :)
So I invite others with the interest to contribute to the discussion
on the list and wiki, proposing
ideas, gather a list of issues that needs to be addressed, and do some
general brainstorming
and uhm.. "stuff". ;)

I'm curious, following whole RPM5 "discussions" over the last months/year
on Cooker and also from my humble and polite POV some rather disappointing
threads/answers about RPM5. Also i somehow feel sorry for jbj as he only
offered his help for free and what he had to take from some people :(
What would be maybe interesting to many people actually interested in RPM5,
is what does it actually bring to the table for the end users? So far ACAICT
from what i have observed it adds supports for ACID
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACID>. On the other side
it seems quite a bit slower in some cases, means much work for you as
one of the implementers and a whole lot of work for maintainers just
to keep the packages working as they did before. Yeah, there are some
added benefits like notice/removal od some dependency loops but
this is not something which is useful for the end user directly IMHO.
So actually my main question is: What main advantages does RPM5
bring and for what costs?
