<cutting everything> >From a purely technical perspective, I think it boils down to the following: 1. Does rpm5 use the same database as Fedora's rpm? If so, it MUST NOT EVER cause any database operation changes that would in any way affect Fedora's rpm functionality. If not, rpm5 must not install system packages into /, only into chroots. Having two, disconnected databases here is not acceptable for the same set of system files. 2. Does rpm5 conflict in any way with Fedora's rpm, either implicitly or explicitly? If so, it is not acceptable. My understanding is that rpm5 uses the same database, and is not fully db compatible with Fedora's rpm. If that is correct, then we can stop flaming each other, and simply say no to rpm5. ~spot _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board mailing list fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board
