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...
As far as I am concerned, rpm, dpkg, etc... are just pieces of software. I see no reason why they shouldn't be included in community. It would even be an advantage, you could install distributions that use dpkg or rpm from Arch Linux.
I think they shouldn't be in community for reasons similar to why qpkg/aurbuild/yaourt are not in community. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
