RPM to WarpIn

(1/1)

Martin,

I may be an old fogy but I don't see any real use for your "warpsnap" idea unless you have a very small screen (about the size 10 inch tablet).  My 30 inch (2560x1600) monitor has enough space without trying to be smart.

What I would like to see is the return of WARPIN as the main way of installing software rather than trying to use yum to convert OS/2 to Linux

Any volunteers to rewrite all the few hundred RPM spec files so it can be put in Warpin packages ? I hear the wind blowing in the forest....
Maybe it will happen in a next live...

Look Ivan, putting it dfiferently we will need to make choices in our community want t we want todo and what we can do. THis is not to be taken as an insult. But give me a bag of money and maybe I can find a way  to your dream true. BWW introduced this because years ago most support time was burned on DLL mitmatches.  Hence you still Dooble distributed as RPM. HOw this would be done in Warpin, no clue.
