Ops, you're right. Perhaps we even should provide a rpm-config script because we also use non-standard library names? I've now done this starting with openpkg-20030907-20030907. Try to use this to avoid having to know the right -lrpmXXX and their order, etc. > The second patch expands the os compatibility list by including entries > for redhat6.x and 7.x.

The "anyos" is ok, I think. The additional RedHat 6 compat... hmmm.. In general I would like to completely remove the whole compat stuff. But let's leave it for now. > Ps.

I actually would like to see the following three(!) additional OpenPKG packages available to OpenPKG users: "apt" ...... APT (http://apt4rpm.sourceforge.net/) "poldek" ... Poldek (http://team.pld.org.pl/~mis/poldek/) "yum" ...... Yum (http://www.dulug.duke.edu/yum/) Anybody wants to contribute them? ;-) Ralf S.
