We have just decided to give apt-rpm / apt4rpm a last grace period and readded it to the distro. It will _only_ hit Factory (and later on the ftp trees of SUSE Linux 10.1). Many thanks to Philipp Thomas for taking the maintainership of the apt packages! Having said that, I'd like call for testing SMART as much as possible. This is the project / package manager that will sooner or later supersede apt, so be sure to test it NOW and provide feedback ;) [The version of SMART (0.40) that's in 10.0 is quite suboptimal -- please try the one in Factory / 10.1, which is much better!] To assist SMART to actually get there, I'd also like to collect a list of "missing features" and "things that need to be fixed" until SMART can do the job apt does for you guys. Any volunteers to create a wiki page and file bugs (preferably at http://tracker.labix.org/)?
