On the other end, GitLab (a provider of Git) is now offering package management. Are the 2 products/technologies converging? Hypothetically, if they are, is Git better than SMP/E, or vice versa? That is... is tomorrow's SMP/E going to be "Not Your Father's SMP/E", having stood the test of time, and possibly better at version control / package mgmt than Git? Again, I just want to hear folks' thoughts on this topic.. From what I’ve seen, the package management offered by GitLab and GitHub are distinct products from their git support. I would still say the use cases for git (version control during development) and a package manager like SMP/E or rpm or the Git* offerings (managing dependencies in deployed software) are different enough that viewing them as somehow competitive would be a mistake. -- Pew, Curtis G curtis....@austin.utexas.edu<mailto:curtis....@austin.utexas.edu> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
