Hi TU's,
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...
The main reason for not doing this is that it will collide with pacman package management in more ways than one - the clearest is that dependencies will not always be the right version, and installing a deb on your machine may not work. What do you think happens to all the debs someone installed the next time openssl is upgraded?
