I have to disagree. RPM is the package manager. The urpm tools are just
frontends for RPM.
i don't agree at all.
automatic dependency handling is code that comes from urpmi and not RPM
(RPMv5 for instance does that in itself).
That project name is RPM5 (as opposed to RPM). It is only used by
Mandriva, according to rpmfind.net
if Fedora lists yum as package manager, we should put urpmi there.
imho, if rpm doesn't do automatic dependency handling, then it's not a
real package manager (contrary to what it name says), and it seems at
least fedora agrees with me.
the Wikipedia listing for Fedora lists Update method = Yum (PackageKit),
and Package manager = RPM Package Manager.
we have Update method = urpmi (rpmdrake) and Package manager = RPM.
Maybe we should drop the "Update method" item,
and put Package manager = urpmi, rpmdrake (RPM) ?
