Apt-rpm has been available for a long long time now.
Does the Fedora/Suse/Mandrake official repositories support apt-rpm?
If you think
Debian's strength is apt-get I have to say you miss the point.
I didn't get it. Can you explain then what is the point here? Well not just
apt-get (but of course it has a big role in entire setting), the
availability of the vast majority of tried and tested packages in easy to
install way (be it CD, DVD, network or the internet). Also the ability to do
seamless upgrades. I heard Fedora has improved much in this aspect.
Btw, Yum
doesnt care where the repositories are. It can be in nfs, http or in
your media. If you mean media switching, the latest version of yum has
support for that.
That is great. More power to Fedora.
Does yum sync every time with the repositories or is that just a default
setting which can be changed. It has been a major annoyance to have it sync
for every single request (have not used it recently so can't say whether it
has changed).
Cheers
Praveen
