Um. The group has skyrocketed in the last year, what are you talking about. > 4) Pacman developers do strange things deaning DB-backends and continue to > develop ugly and very slow plaintext DB. The db isn't that slow at all.

What do you mean? What dependency problems?

Fedora is spun off red-hat, and thus still inherits a lot. It's also an entirely diffrent type of distro. As for yum+rpm being simpler, that depends on your point of view. I find pacman simpler, and pacman faster. Yum was plain nasty last time I used it. > 7) I don't understand pacman devs - Bash pacman equal works only 10% > slower > than C pacman! What are you on about. I might as well cut this thread off here. There are no plans for a stable arch. It's nothing more than an idea, and nobody has started coding on anything. I'm sorry if Romashka got you excited, but it's not on the drawing boards in the remotely near future -- there's bigger things to worry about. If you want to start a stable Arch, go ahead. Talking will not write code or build PKGBUILDS. Someone start it and *then* post to the list, otherwise you'll be talking forever and nothing will result.
