The trouble is this - the solution you and others have suggested
doesn't actually solve the problem it just moves it around. It also
makes the situation of dep resolution and global updates that much more
difficult. Which makes the management end of all this that much harder
on the folks maintaining systems with these tools.
I would expect the real good solution to come from the rpm team, not an
outsider with less experience than them on that field.
I've not been working with the package-mgmt team in a while now
but I
do not think that any of the team is ignoring the issues - they are
just far harder to balance packager needs, user needs and sysadmins
needs that it would otherwise appear.
I would like someone is working or willing to work on it, even on a slow and
large time plan, cause to me it seems there is an issue with pkg2-2.0.0.rpm,
and expecting to not be like that forever. So that the team is not ignoring
the issues is to welcome.
