We are not really competing -- we are booth driving smart adoption. The
biggest challenge in collaboration is the fact that Pascal offers some
.channel files, that we at Novell can't ship for different reasons.

I haven't really looked at Pascals patch, but might merge it into the SUSE
smart package, once I looked at it and once we have some feedback on it
upstream.

Hopefully not.

Pascal will tell you that he can't split of a smart-channels package, to
carry the stuff that we can't ship, because his users are used to get the
channels preconfigured and it would obviously be confusing to them to
change this. Otherwise it would be quite easy to offer only one smart
package for SUSE Linux via the Build Service (and of course in the
distribution).
Anyway, I understand that Pascal is away from mail until Thursday, so we
won't get any feedback from him on this until then.

Not really -- it's mostly about tons of small fixes :)
