URPMI For Fedora Core 2

Posted by Hemos on from the cross-platform-grail dept.

Jaroslaw Zachwieja writes "Stefan van der Eijk, the autor of Slbd - automated tool to rebuild distributions to different architectures/processors in a sanitized environment, has published set of RPMS of URPMI for Fedora Core 2. The only usage difference is that it uses hdlist instead of compressed hdlist.cz known from Mandrake. Are we one step further towards Cross-distro RPMS?"

    Seriously, is:

    ./configure
    make
    make install

     Really that hard that we need cross distro RPMS?

    The one thing I miss since switching from mandrake to fc2 is urpmi.

    So you don't miss your boot sector?

    *drumroll*

    Sure, it's not really a problem using DAG or some other repository, apt, yum etc, but urpmi is at another level (at least for mandrake).

    Isn't that mostly an issue with available repositories, as opposed to software that does the fetching and installing?

    It is no longer 1999* and the era of Debian users making off-topic comments in every RPM story is past. It is now the era of Gentoo users making off-topic comments in every Debian story. Please get with the program.

    So, what's the difference betweem urpmi and yum?

    If you like what you ate, you say, "Yum!", otherwise you involuntarily make a noise like, "urpmi".
