mm ? I have not the feeling that it was the subject... i read again... ok he seems to have a great +1 to rpm5, but i did not see that he wanted insisted or moan in order we use rpm5... The mails are hard to read, and long, and very technicals, but what catched my eyes is some things like "level of compatibility" between Mageia & rpm5 is far greater than any other (with other rpm5 based distros being more compatible with Mageia than Mageia is with non-rpm5 based distros as well" So it doesn't mean we have to move to rpm5 for being compatible with rpm5, so where is the problem ? I just wonder, why having discussions about technical things like adults is impossible ? are rpm.org and rpm5 religions ? So if Per Oyvind offers help, unless there are hidden things i do not understand, and if he can improve rpm.org or compatibility stuff or whatever, why nobody says "ok, why not, tell us, maybe you could help, maybe not" Did not find it (at least in this ML) Seems it's not the first time, in this mail https://www.mageia.org/pipermail/mageia-dev/20110109/002024.html he told "(if interested, I could help assist you on writing something equivalent for compatibility wrapping similar to what I did in the past with rpm4compat.h & rpm46compat.h to make ie. URPM able to use rpm 4.4 & 4.6 api with rpm5, let's say rpm5compat.h or something). Whatever you end up doing, don't be afraid of asking or trying to communicate on, the mutual benefits of collaboration are rather obvious. <;o) If not, sorry for imposing." This mail had no answer, so what, is this guy a kind of antichrist of rpm , talking with sugar words and trying to backstab you ? And at least, If the question are asked over and over, why is there so few things in archives about it ? Sure every one knows mageia will not hurry to go to rpm5 tomorow, and so what ? If some are bored about some related questions, why not opening a FAQ that explain it, or that just point to the related archive/topic (which could be this one) ? Sorry but I hate people bashing when i don't understand it. So if there are personal anger, try to get over, or explain and communicate better. RJ
