&lt;IMHO&gt;<br>There is no perfect tool as there is no real reason to switch from .rpm to .deb or viceversa.<br>I have always wondered, though there are many open source projects free to derive or contribute, why people prefer to make it again and again from scratch?<br>
There are some issues in any, but we could also find at least two suitable for our needs.<br>Let&#39;s polish existent tools until they fit our needs.<br>urpmi is good enough. Let&#39;s fix it where is wrong, let&#39;s add new features when needed.<br>
Alternately, let contribute with some other tools until they are accepted, if they are worthy, they&#39;ll be.<br>Let&#39;s focus on real problems. There is no distro yet, let&#39;s find what we expect from the new one. Let&#39;s do it.<br>
We need to forget about fashion if there are no real arguments to change something.<br>If something is not broken, don&#39;t fix it.<br>&lt;/IMHO&gt;<br><br>
