Many project used other language by using a bridge, rpm itself come with python and perl binding. - apt4rpm (unofficially made for RedHat, exists for mandrake too) is written in C. This tools is port of apt from Debian. - yast (the config from Suse) is written in C as I know. - urpmi and rpmdrake (from mandrake) are written in perl, actually we use perl-URPM to provide perl bindings to the rpmlib. I am myself working on perl-Hdlist, the replacement to perl-URPM for next releases - yum (fedora) is written in python, it use python binding but I don't know enought this tools and this language to say more. I am sure to forget projects, fill this list as you want. > I know of course that c can be used, and when I browsed this list's > archive, I found out that it is also possible to use Java (although this > has some limitations due to licensing issues). Java ?

Config files seems to say yes. I am really not sure, and I don't think this is the main feature to provide. > Any suggestions if RPM might be a good choice? rpm is designed to maintenant the coherence of the system, it is clearly made for unix systems, and designed for linux, even it should works on all systems. It is used on Solaris too. Is rpm a good choice ? I think rpm is good to do what it actually do, aka install/uninstall software. This depends what do you want to do. -- /**************************** * La distro du 24ème siècle * * http://octoz.zarb.org/ * ****************************/
