Kelledin,
Yes, there are a bunch of package mamagers out there -- this is in
response to your agreeing with the guy who posted about PMs -- but
eventually we may want to think about creating our own, now we don't
have to but considering it is an option just because rerolling RPMs to
conform to the LSB so that we can install them in IOS may become a
little tedious for our packagers...but let's wait a while -- maybe a
year or more -- and see.
