Richard, take your guns and come into the saloon. There is a young
cowboy throwing full bottles against the wall here. ;-))
Eberhard, there is a difference between apt-rpm [1] and apt4rpm [2].
Anyway, I guess Richard and I pretty much agree on this topic ;)

OK, Richard, you can come without the guns.
If apt-rpm is just the "client side" and this shall get enhanced with
smartpm, it is OK.
On the long run, we like to "educate" all the apt repository contributors
to run createrepo directly at their "home repository", with the hope that
in a not near future the servers would not need to build the apt
repositories themselves anymore. "not near" because probably not before
the whole world will have dropped SUSE-9.3...
In this aspect, the move from apt-rpm to smartpm is a good step.
The next major step would be that Novell/SUSE offers their "build host"
infrastructure for all our contributors, and - just a rational consequence
- a new central home at opensuse.org for all the apt4suse repositories
we already have.
Cheers -e
