arctic Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 I simply want to know if anyone has tested rPath or Foresight Linux and its Conary package manager. I was asked by a friend of mine if it is worth a look or if it is rather crappy. Any input is welcome. If no one has tested this, then ... well... bad luck ... I'll have to test it myself.

I played with Foresight about 2-3 versions ago and thought the package manager kinda sucked :P However, I imagine that was fairly early on so it might be better now.

arctic Posted July 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Thanks, jlc. I took a look at the current conary documentation and I found it to be rather confusing and overly complex. Not really my taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlc Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Yeah, I know its supposed to be "a new way" and all but it still kind of sucked. I've used umpteen different linux package systems. All the *BSD's, Solaris, Aix and HP-UX and still just sucks for me :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 it was a good idea in theory, but in practice it just became too convoluted. (really, i just wanted to use the word "convoluted" :D) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
