Hi,
IPS is a tweak on rpm. I suspect a mostly overengineered one, SUN had
massive ego problems and looked down on Linux systems. So they could
not just adopt rpm, they had to change it sufficiently to one up
Linux peasants (many of the original IP packages are based on an
import of Fedora rpm specs, with customizations like facets added
in)
Why would Solaris switch to rpm, when they already had SysV packages at
the time, which are pretty much equivalent in functionality?
