thanks for the update!

Since this time we worked on the RPM 5 based one for OpenPKG > 4.0. Congrats also on the article in c't 20/2009! For all others: The c't is a reputated computer german magazine and Ralf wrote an article about package management which basically is about rpm5 and its use in OpenPKG: http://www.heise.de/ct/inhalt/2009/20/184/ Praxis Erweiterter Paketversand Neue Funktionen in RPM 5 nutzen RPM 5, Fork und inoffizieller Nachfolger des RPM Package Manager, wirft eine ganze Menge Ballast ab und und bringt ein Bündel neuer Funktionen mit. So ist RPM 5 plattformunabhängig und unterstützt das Verwalten und Erstellen ganzer Softwarestacks.
