apt4rpm and apt-rpm are 2 different things... apt4rpm is software to support the creation of repositories, it is heavily used on gwdg.de for example. apt-rpm provides the apt client (among other things). It just saw a release today: http://freshmeat.net/projects/apt-rpm/ > As you're one of the persons > with most insight, what would you recommend for 10.1? Smart or apt4rpm? The comparison should be smart vs apt-rpm. Nowadays it should not matter, as the repository is standardized on repodata format. This should be supported by all clients, like smart, yum, yast/zen, apt and what more do you have. > Can you maybe shed some lights on the differences or give a pointer to a > doc, where they are compared? No, I don' have. But I assume that google might help you out with this question ;) -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
