- darkchild, on 06/07/2008, -0/+7You are basically comparing apples and oranges. The equivalent to rpm on Debian based systems is dpkg and it has more or less the same issues as rpm and thats why apt was introduced. I guess you should try out the latest development build of openSUSE 11 to see the vast improvements in zypper and how the packaging tools have improved in this release to the point where they are more or less on par with the tools in Debian based distros.
- darkchild, on 06/07/2008, -1/+7Thank you very much openSUSE devs for the vastly improved packaging tools. I have been using the openSUSE release candidate for a while now and I am really impressed with how fast zypper works and the general improvement of the YAST software module.
- apokryphos, on 06/07/2008, -0/+4You really have problems with package management in 11.0? What are they?
- joshr04ca, on 06/07/2008, -0/+1shrewduser - i've used both Apt & Zypper and find them very similar. This is a huge step for openSUSE as Yast was deadly slow. Zypper is now a great alternative to using Yast from a cli.
- shrewduser, on 06/07/2008, -6/+3this is just my opinion but i've installed and tried every openSUSE since before it was called openSUSE. version 9 i think, and they've changed big componants about their package manager every release and its still pretty awful to me.....
please move to APT or something, i'm not sure whether RPM is cursed but i've yet to see an RPM based distro approach the kind of solid robustness
