No, that means the SMART package manager. SMART is a technology that does better dependency checking than urpmi or apt-get, and is package manager agnostic, so it can be used with urpmi or apt-get. In fact, it is already in contrib. Probably what will happen, based on the discussions going on on the Cooker ML, is that some of the cool elements of SMART will be integrated into urpmi somehow. But no one thinks urpmi will be ditched for apt-get, especially since apt4rpm is, as I understand it, unmaintained. -- /g
