Re: [cobalt-users] RaQ 4 PKG "howto"

[Dmitry Alexeyev <dmi_a@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello!

Sun's pkg approach to linux is evil! You will end up with bunch of 
[stupid] unresolved dependencies and totally incompatable 3-rd party 
software. 

Using RPM packages is the right path, that's Linux after all, time to 
stop clicking the mouse. 

RPM is designed to check versions, architectures, dependencies. Why 
putting them into stupid tarballs, arm with stupid scripts with 
--nodeps/--noscripts/--force?
