[Gllug] Fedora and JPackage

[Matthew Cooke]

You *cannot* compare RPM and apt, they do not perform the same function!   
Just as you cannot compare sendmail and courier-imap.  A valid comparison 
would be between RPM and DPKG as these actually fulfil equivalent roles.

I am sure you are aware that you can now use apt for Fedora, SuSE and maybe 
Redhat, so the only whingeing that happens is ignorant Debian weenies who 
can't see the difference between DPKG and apt :)

Yes.

I was assuming YUM/APT or UP2DATE as they are a standard part of 
Fedora/Redhat and have been for ages, therefore an advantage of the "RPM 
format" compared to src install is that you get dependancy resolution.

Matt.
