Hello,
I would like to get some clarification about the package management
scheme in MeeGo:
* Why are Yum and Zypper both used? (at least in 1.0 that is)
because we wanted to give zypper a try, but also want to keep the solid
fallback yum in place.
* What are their roles?
they from the backend of packagekit; packagekit is the component that
abstracts the actual implementation
of the package downloader/installer from the rest of the system
* Would you think that upstream versions of both will be used in MeeGo
or will there be some new functionalities or additions?
I doubt that in the short term we'll do anything exciting meego
specific. I have some research ideas I'd like to get
done but that's somewhat more long term (if I can get resources, for 1.2)
