I was wondering what peoples opinions are about putting rpm/dpkg in [community]. They both have a descent number of votes (27 & 33) so people obviously find them useful. Does anyone have objections about their "unArchness" (it is a real word, honest!)? It is what has stopped me moving dpkg so far...
Well, I seem to have a fairly negative reaction on average so far... I just want to point out that if a user wants to install a rpm/deb package, all the tools are in extra/community already. These packages would make it slightly easier to install them but also give the ability to create these package formats which is why I grabbed dpkg in the first place. Allan
