IMO, the real problem is that all the RPM based distros name and organize their packages differently. Debian/Ubuntu/etc don't do that. The cleanest way to avoid these problems is to have different repos (with slightly different SC RPMs) for Fedora/CentOS/Mandriva/SUSE/etc. I don't think anyone really wants to maintain that though. > These days I use Ubuntu on desktops, and pure debian on servers, > including the server with SqueezeCenter 7.1 - 18180 - Debian - EN - > utf8 I use Ubuntu for my desktop and CentOS on the server... -- Fletch ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fletch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=529 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47275 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
