      <pre wrap=""> I can understand a personal preference, but why do you believe that
deb is superior to rpm? Given that Mandriva is already rpm-based, what
benefit could be derived from abandoning the existing build system and
urpmi?

&gt;From everything I have read, neither system has a clear advantage over
the other, and the end result of using either is essentially the same.
I don't believe that changing to a deb-based system would provide any
significant benefit to justify the expense in terms of re-training
devs and  creating a new build system.
