It's a problem of closed vendors treating Linux as a better windows than windows, or a better unix as solaris. Therefore they constantly bitch about the things they're used to and are not 100% identical, and completely ignore the genuinly different and innovative parts that evolved in Linux. Of which packaging is on the forefront. Vendors that genuinely believe Linux is here to stay and they need to be a player there fare on the whole better than the others. They're approaching the non-destructive rpm stage and will probably start releasing fine packages in two to three years. The others just need to be hit with the cluestick of people moving to other products, and they'll adapt (at a time they pushed motif - most of them have gotten over it now). All the proposed changes designed to have the core infrastructure behave like something it isn't only slow down this evolution while putting the burden of their mistakes on the rest of the system. Linux didn't get where it is now just because of the happy penguin. To take advantage of it you need to actually look at what's in the box. -- Nicolas Mailhot -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
