With RPM 4.4.2 and SMART 0.41 things have gotten much better by the

Are you definately sure that smart performs as well as apt did?
Well, I never used apt intensively, but yes, the SMART performance could
be much better. One option could be to just call rpm instead of using
python-rpm to perform the installation of packages (like YaST does it ;)).
What I read on this ML is that SMART uses a lot of memory (too much) in
case many packages are to be installed! Perhaps apt can still be
provided via the online repository (not on the CDs) as a fallback in
case SMART does not performs as expected...?
I would rather like to stick with SMART and get a much testing on SMART as
possible. Because at the end of the day, we will have a mature package
manager(tm) then. Let's face it: As long as there is apt, nobody is going
to use SMART -- and we both know that apt-rpm doesn't have a bright
future...
So then let's hope for a better future for smart, and please continue
supporting apt until then. At least below tne unsupported directory.
You know if I say please I mean PLEASE. You should, in the sense of you
HAVE TO.
