</I>>><i> I've started to ramble on some of the features, issues, ideas etc. to
</I>>><i> work on and consider
</I>>><i> for our (Mandriva Linux) next development cycle, and in the interest
</I>>><i> of sharing work and

</I>>><i> <A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Development/Tasks/Packaging/Tools/RPM/TODO">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Development/Tasks/Packaging/Tools/RPM/TODO</A>
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> While it's certainly written from a vendor POV (and also rather crude
</I>>><i> for the moment), I'm cross-posting
</I>>><i> this one as it's of potential interest to others as well and the idea
</I>>><i> is for things to be as generic as
</I>>><i> possible anyhows.. :)
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> So I invite others with the interest to contribute to the discussion
</I>>><i> on the list and wiki, proposing
</I>>><i> ideas, gather a list of issues that needs to be addressed, and do some
</I>>><i> general brainstorming
</I>>><i> and uhm.. "stuff". ;)
</I>>><i>
</I>><i>
</I>><i> I don't know RPM internals well, the only thing that comes to my mind is
</I>><i> improved packagekit support for Mandriva / Mageia.
</I>I've improved the packagekit support some already, you'll find my branch on
gitorious.org (I'll try remember getting around to pushing it to
master branch sometime
next week). I *think* it shouldn't break any compatibility with older
urpmi versions,
if it does, lemme know and I'll be sure to fix.
I'm not sure if I'm planning on developing it further though, as
suggested on my TODO list
I'd rather write a new one from scratch using rpmlib directly for most
purposes where it'll
be able to do the job, with some hooks for smart and/or urpmi where required.
This is similar to how the 'zif' packagekit backend works, which
exists for yum, and I'll be
looking a lot more closer at it for inspiration and possibly code..
IMO using such a backend (when/if done) would be a better alternative
to 'mdvsys' used by
MPM in Mandriva, and would be a whole lot easier to maintain while be
of greater use to
others as well..
