I never use GUI tools myself. I only wanted to see if Smart really
resolves dependencies better than the other tools. The only problem I
saw till now is that it upgrades kernel-devel package instead of install
it. Of course, it lack of some features like package repackaging or
installing packages locally but I suppose that is expected in such early
phase of development. I hope that Yum will be faster and faster from
version to version...
Er, smart has supported installing packages off your local system since its
inception. Or did I misunderstand what you were saying there? No, from
another msg of yours in the thread, looks like you're thinking smart has no
equivalent to yum's localinstall. Just "smart install foo-1.1-1.i386.rpm"
like it says in the smart FAQ. :)
