Sure. It is impressive. I already know because have already tried some time ago on fedora e suse. The principal problem remain : wants sat solver become a project cross distribution or not? The project rpm is already - with some local difference btw, but this don't change what i have said. Do think the author of SAT solvers that an open source cross platform solution could be beneficial to everyone, and to the sat solver project itself ? A project is a project, a distro is another thing. But i perhaps asked in different word the same question alreay asked : no answer. A good open source project should have more widespread audience instead to be tied to issues that perhaps are not so technical in nature.
