Gentoo Linux Rethinks Package Management System

Posted by timothy on from the after-all-rpm-is-better dept.

YOU ARE SO FIRED! writes "In an effort to conform to the LSB standards, Gentoo Linux will be adopting RPM as the standard form of package management in portage 2.1. More information can be found in the Gentoo weekly newsletter. I'd surely be fired if I would've proposed such an idea!"

    This was a clever April Fool's post. It caught me by surprise. Well done, Slashdot.

    Of course, what I'm not looking forward to is the next twenty-four hours, when Slashdot will be filled with nonstop April Fool's jokes, completely defeating the purpose of April Fool's day.
