Yeah, I would like this. I would use it for production releases as well, not just keeping a bit of distance from bleeding edge Cooker. > BTW: rpmdrake is what sways most people to change to Mandrake from the likes > of RH. Yeah? I am not disputing this fact but am interested in why people do switch. If you can, please cite the source of the data that backs this statement up. > Just need it to support deb's and for Mandrake to make the switch :-) I _really_ do not want to start the deb. vs. rpm holy wars again, but I get so sick of hearing it from deb-heads. Why are debs so much better than rpms? Tell me what you can do on a Debian box that you can't do on a Mandrake box, package installation-wise. b. -- Brian J. Murrell
