Unifying Linux Package Management

Job Diogenes Ribeiro Borges writes "The Smart Package Manager is an intelligent tool that works on the 'dependency hell' of software upgrading and installation on linux. Works with all major distributions (APT, APT-RPM, YUM, URPMI, etc), supporting multiple sources and technologies concurrently. Yes, you could install from multiple sources, from deb, rpm, tgz at same time! Smart Package Manager is being developed by Conectiva and is the tool that makes the Magic of CrossPlatform package management, behind the recently announced 'Four Linux Vendors Agree On An LSB Implementation.' You can get screenshots here (portuguese texts) and a README here."

It's too bad you are such an anal opening and no one knows that it was you, only some anonymous luser. But then that would have required a potential karma sacrifice; karma being too precious to even consider risking, due to the powerful homoerotic benefits of being able to 'use' mod points them like a 'tool' on all your 'friends'. Very, very latently gay, in other words.

But posting as AC for something as infantile as FP is understandable; the shame of having been exposed as having been so shallow and simple-minded would have probably twisted your piss ant meaningless little conformist "me too!" world-view into something you're not ready to handle.
