It's basically a RedHat-compatibility manual. I'm not : going to defend the LSB, but it does make sense to be as RedHat compatible as : possible without making any compromises in the design of Gentoo Linux. : : It would be fun to start an anti-LSB movement, though =) I think that it won't take much work for us to become RPM-capable (I'm pretty sure that Achim will say we already are and all we need is a C++ stub to portage to create out /var/db structure as well as RPM's database). Regardless, I think we should put a carefully worded statement on the website stating why we're doing in regards to LSB, but also how it hurts Linux as a whole, since it doesn't create a Linux standard, but rather a Redhat standard. --Jerry name: Jerry Alexandratos || Open-Source software isn't a phone: 703.599.6023 || matter of life or death... email: jerry@thehutt.org || ...It's much more important || than that!
