Because blades aren't (quite) standard RPMs. They're specific to SMEv5+ servers, specifically to add new updates easily to a server. In many ways, they're an extension of RPM technology, and for those reasons, you've got to call them something other than RPMs. -- Please report bugs to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] (only) to discuss security issues Support for registered customers and partners to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives by mail and http://www.mail-archive.com/devinfo%40lists.e-smith.org
