We have some additional constraints that they don't have, for one we usually check the license while as far as I know that is not done by default for the native PM. (I may be wrong here.) Then there is the tension from the developers of that tools saying us to abandon our PM and use theirs instead. I am not convinced that is the best solution. With all its faults I still prefer a generic solution like rpm with a strong policy over it that to have to download the same packages all over again like those systems propose. > HTH, > > Marc Schwartz -- José Abílio -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
