But in rpm5.org there are some many "nice" feature, some present from a long time, mostly useful for a good distro and for a sysadmin. In fact many are requested today from the developer of fedora - just for example the rollback support -dropped from rpm4.6, runtime probe, parent dir e filelinkto deps, the full portability with so much platform - included RHEL4, RHEL5 where rpm4.6 is not - if ever - portable. So do you think it is "nice" to port these feature into rpm.org ? If yes, why exists in first place the rpm.org <-> rpm5.org duality ? But everyone know already. Regards
