Similarly how would you decide if zelda or zork should be used.
There's no
logic to it. That's why the repotag is at the end, if it's up to the
repotag to decide what to happen it's already a lost case anyway.
Maybe you missed my point... i tend to be too subtle sometimes.....
i want rpm fixed to actually use vendor information so when updates
are calculated.. the vendor comes into the calculation in a different
way than release number. Until we actually FIX rpm to have a native
undestanding of package heritage from a vendor when doing an
upgrade...then yes... all of this nashing of teeth about multi-vendor
dynamics is a lost cause. I want rpm to be fixed to have a deep
understand that packages can come from different vendors and that
vendor-ness is essentially different than release-ness.
In my pathetic little world rpm --Fvh should be able to work on a
collection of packages from different vendors and rpm should be able
to pick out updates that are from the save vendor as packages i have
installed.... this is intuitive to me... and something i expect from a
package system designed to deal with multiple vendors.
