That's not a solution for Fedora at all. It's a completely different package
manager (competing with RPM).
Well, now that you mention it..! ;)
It also works by keeping all the old versions
of all packages stored on disk all the time, a massive waste of disk space,
Please
define "massive" if you're keeping exactly what's needed to keep
everything running and prune anything else by using a sophisticated,
tunable garbage collection mechanism.
and also not compliant with the FHS (Filesystem Hierarchy Standard).
Yep. It's much better, comparable to the GAC (global assembly cache) of
the CLR (Mono), just applied as a packaging / filesystem layout paradigm
for the whole system. Please read my other post in reply to yersinia -
sorry, this thread is cluttered, bad MUAs.
