You're forgetting zypper, which is the one MeeGo will be using.

My opinion here is that fragmentation is good, but I don't plan to enter this one religious war (note debian has aptitude; in fact apt is deprecated).

So.. they are changing to RPM *and* using yet another different addon tool for support?

Unbelievable. (this forum needs the smiley banging his head on a brick wall so I don't have to search for it everytime it's applicable

)
