I played with pyrpm and it looks acceptable for different actions and unfortunately I played just less with pyyum which is included there (sorry, I'm to lazy to verifiy whether it's really called pyyum) and it also could be an interesting way. Reading this and reading further on at the list, it already sounds a bit as there's no interest to walk *really* a new and radical way regarding RPM. Why? What is preventing? When looking back e.g. to soft dependencies, I remember that they just were refused for obivious reasons by individuals having the right position at Fedora (or Red Hat). You maybe treat this as flame, but this is what the feedback from that time looked like. The end of the song normally is: Everybody wants new features, nobody wants to implement them or when they're getting implemented nothing should break or change because the packaging management system is very basic, everything has to be 100% backward compatible but in the same way; it should be legacy free as well on the other hand. Wrong world. Maybe you can see, what the real problem behind the doors is. Otherwise, please try to open your eyes.
