As we're doing a major release, what are your thoughts on the following features: - tilde support in version comparison - triggers on provides instead of package names - weak dependencies (basically just parsing them and storing them in the rpm header) - defining some tag where yum/zypp/smart can store the reason why the package was installed (user selected/dragged in via dependencies), so that we can implement a "show me all unneeded packages" function Cheers, Michael. -- Michael Schroeder m...@suse.de SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF Markus Rex, HRB 16746 AG Nuernberg main(_){while(_=~getchar())putchar(~_-1/(~(_|32)/13*2-11)*13);} _______________________________________________ Rpm-maint mailing list Rpm-maint@lists.rpm.org http://lists.rpm.org/mailman/listinfo/rpm-maint
