<cortado> "There has been a bit of grumbling from some Debian developers, mostly over the fact that the LSB specifies the RPM package format as the standard for application distribution. Debian, of course, does not use RPM. Complaints, however, are both late and unfounded. The decision to go with RPM was made back at the beginning, over three years ago. It does not require compliant systems to use RPM as their native package format; it is sufficient that RPM-packaged, LSB-compliant applications be installable. And, in this context, "RPM" does not mean the moving target that is Red Hat's current format; it is, instead, specified as a subset of the older, version 3 format as documented in Maximum RPM. The Debian alien tool should be more than up to the task." <cortado> Comentários ? -- Andre Luis Lopes andrelop at ig dot com dot br
