This is an rpm.org mailing list and any posts that are not relating to rpm.org are off topic[2]. Promoting other packaging software is definitely off topic. If you want to advertise rpm5use an rpm5.org mailing list, please!Correct. Please note my recent (but not yet through moderator approval) changes removing all mention of @rpm.org, citing only RFE's @bugzilla.redhat.com, specifically answering user questions seen on <rpm-list@xxxxxxx>, and pointingout irrelevancies where needed.
Please note the __ABSENCE__ of moderator approval for the posting regarding not only the feasibility, but also the sanity, of RPM "package bundles" that I
referred to.I prefer to demonstrate the feasibility (and sanity) of RPM package bundles rather than discuss moderation. However, it does seem rather ironic that my reply to an
RFE from <rpm-list@xxxxxxx> here http://lists.rpm.org/pipermail/rpm-list/2008-December/000041.html and a bugzilla RFE here https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=474704-- both of which are quite clearly filed against the rpm.org implementation --
has qualified me for moderation because I included a URI to suggested solutions posted to another list. Whatever ...But there is no need to actually solve any remaining flaws to demonstrate that "package bundles" are both feasible and sane, the existing rpm-4.6.0 implementation can/will produce and install "package bundles" quite nicely AFAIK.
To demonstrate that point, I will produce a "package bundle" of rpm-4.6.0,
and use rpm-4.6.0 to install the "package bundle", in order to show that indeed, rpm-4.6.0 "package bundles" are feasible and sane.I will post a pointer to the rpm-4.6.0 "package bundles" when done and report an issues or problems with rpm-4.6.0 installing rpm-4.6.0 "package bundles" to the rpm-4.6.0 <rpm-list@xxxxxxx> "General discussion about the RPM package manager" mailing
list in case other rpm-4.6.0 users are interested in using rpm-4.6.0 to produce rpm-4.6.0 "package bundles". Subject to moderator approval of course. 73 de Jeff
