Sneak Peeks at openSUSE 10.3: New Package Management
,----[ Quote ]
| openSUSE 10.3 is set to contain a new, significantly improved and more mature
| package management stack by default. ZMD, the package management component
| causing problems in SUSE Linux 10.1 and to a lesser extent in openSUSE 10.2,
| has been completely removed and is now replaced by the new libzypp and its
| tools.

The future of packaging software in Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| As far as freeing the packaging from the distributor is concerned,
| there are at least two directions possible. The first is the wide
| acceptance of the refreshed CNR (Click-And-Run) system, which is
| going to support all the major GNU/Linux distributions in the near
| future (and in time, even more platforms).

| Another option is the fast evolution of LSB's Linux Standard Desktop
| Project. Linux Standard Base may help to standardize at least the
| versions of the core libraries used in the major distros making
| it much easier to produce general packages in the future.
