It must be, because my experience with creating Debian packages has been anything but pleasant. Creating Debian packages far more complex than writing (what can be) a relatively simple RPM .spec file and calling rpmbuild. It's possible dpkg is technically suerior, but RPM was far easier for me to learn and has been far easier to use. -- Shawn Walker, Software and Systems Analyst [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://binarycrusader.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
