I personally have used a number of RPM's that were for RedHat, Fedora or Mandrake without a problem. I don't like the idea that each distro uses it's own rpm's > 2.

The devoloper or whoever sdoes the upload must keep up to dat with the original, so that version updates are done. Say I upload a wmdrawers rpm. I do not maintain that and as long as my version works, I won't update it. If the site were that everybody could upload, I would't trust it. yes, others might see it, but perhaps I then just did an update and I am running a malicious spammer program. <snip> > I also thought of recruiting "trusted builders" but that would be a too > formal yet too slow process and the initiative will lose momentum. That however will give you a hirachy and structure to fall back on. For those who can't wait, they still can download the sources and do things themselves. -- houghi http://www.opensuse.org/index.php/Making_a_DVD_from_CDs --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
