And my lazy scmuck sysadmin has now restarted httpd.
You've had *MONTHS* to make peace with rpm5, now y'all have
your very own rpm5.org "project" to participate in or trash mouth as you wish.
Have fun!
Thierry: And you alone were responsible for destroying the "rpm5" brand.
Which now brings us to the M&M distros, because that *IS* what this list is about.
You've had *MONTHS* to make peace with rpm5 and mostly haven't. rpm5 is being cited as
a "fiasco" and is blamed for most anything you don't like.
What you don't like has nothing whatsoever to do with this "tourist with camera"
wandering the dungeons hacking on RPM.
I can tell you that a "fork" is a huge waste of time & energy from first hand
experience.
I can also say that the M&M distros are more similar than different,
and strongly suggest that you make peace somehow and move on.
We now return you to work in progress ...
