Perhaps Pascal can add an 'help2man' line during his rpmbuild....
Or perhaps it can be added to the Makefile...

So please have this added to smart (it should supersede apt, that is why apt 
is left out of suse remember...)
Disabling all other channels is not at all userfriendly.  Hopefully you'll put

--explain does not, it would if it would include the 'alias' .
BTW: --explain is not correct.  As I still don't know how it works, it's only 
more verbose.  So please change it into --verbose....

Please change 'Installed' into 'New' those packages are not installed (yet) 
they are new (for my sysytem).
