yr2alex Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 This is in no way, shape, or form an indictment against Mandrake. To set the record straight let me go on record by stating that since 8.2, Mandrake has been by and by the rpm based distro of choice for me. Nevertheless, if I had a particular wish for an improvement it would be for URPMI to install from source packages and resolve it's dependencies as effectively as it does for rpm packages. I'm curious, what's on your wish list???? P.S. I do apologize if this has been the topic of previous discussion Moved from Software forum to Everything Linux forum - Artificial Intelligence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Adriano Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 [ballmer-mode=on]repositories, repositories, repositories, repositories[/ballmer-mode] Seriously, if Mandrake had the reps Debian has, or something similar at least, instead of having to install them by hand, one of the biggest arguments for the debian crowd would be gone, I could shut some friends I know up, and the world in general would be a much nicer place.

yr2alex Posted December 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 /me hugs pacman, abs and makepkg <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I was thinking about giving gentoo a try, (I imagine the stability of a source based and managed linux os) I have also heard nothing but good things about Arch Linux -but if I had myway I would love to see URPMI install from source and resolve deps as well as it does for rpm pkgs. Hey I am allowed to dream, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
