It is important for some use cases, but not really vital, for 2 reasons. First there are substitutes (apt, smart -- and urpmi would certainly work on fedora too), and second it is not really required, if one can use rpm directly. I would argue, however, that rpm is a vital part of fedora. To be more precise, it seems to me that rpm and its dependency is what defines a fedora system (with some additional bits like rootfiles), even though it is possible to install much less in chroots. -- Pat -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
