Hmmm ... rpm5 isn't exactly "heavy", just maximally featured: the fundamental basics are still quite lean-and-mean. If you can itemize the details of (not) "lighter", I'm quite sure I can beat the crap out of (wrto any performance metrics, and even memory size tunables) any other package manager on the planet. Assuming a fair engineering bake-off however: most complaints are all anecdotal and opinionated, often irrelevant and surreal, these days. > I use rpm5 on my Dev boxes, and it's working fine for me. > > Good. 73 de Jeff
