Hmmmm, I think everyone's gotten that one wrong :-( 1) First there is apt, with its rpm port, often called "apt-rpm" 2) Second there is apt4rpm, which is a set of perl scripts to help maintain an apt server of rpm files I keep telling Richard Bos (the apt4rpm creator) that it was a bad choice to name his project like that, but it's a bit late now anyway ;-) So if you want to not confuse people, try to refer to the above as : 1) apt, apt for rpm, apt ported to rpm, apt-rpm 2) apt4rpm, the apt4rpm server project > As for apt vs yum, both have something the other one doesn't.

Want my go on that one? - I use yum when : My apt is stuck or has a messy sources.list file - I use apt when : I just broke my rpm python bindings by upgrading either one of python or rpm Hehe ;-) Matthias -- Clean custom Red Hat Linux rpm packages : http://freshrpms.net/ Raw Hide 20030511 running Linux kernel 2.4.20-13.9 Load : 0.48 0.53 0.45
