This is too bad, because in my opinion swup's lack of a captive user interface (I'm talking to you yum and apt! what's with all the yes/no questions that might or might not be asked?) and relative speed (through caching) makes it overall simpler, faster, and more consistent than other package management options. I've been working (slowly) on getting a Fedora Core mirror setup that uses swup, with the goal of increasing awareness (swup looks "new" to a lot of people so the response is always "why do we need ANOTHER package manager?", which I find to be a bogus question). Unfortunately, my python skillz are not mad enough at this time to expect to be able to fix any bugs. -- Andy Bakun <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ tsl-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.trustix.org/mailman/listinfo/tsl-discuss
