Hello, I must make a choice concerning the use of a tool used to update
rpms:  yum, urpmi or apt-get.
Personally, I use urpmi every day, without real problems (the
dependences, even those of Perl are very well managed),
the "hdlist" can be used in several forms , it contains a lot of
funtions but, it is not integrated into
up2date and does not have a graphic interface that fits Centos3 without
break all depedencies.
There are also the two others:  yum and apt-get.
Because Centos uses yum, I would like to have a feedback:  speed of
calculations for the dependences,
comparative with apt-get.  There are already opinions on the question
(yum is easy to install, more flexible,
but less powerful. and to connect itself itself to the sources +
download the lists of packages even if no update is avaible...... grrr).
So, Wthat need I to use for a Centos-like ditribution?
(It's to intagrate the tool on Gralinux final)
apt-get + synaptic??  yum+yumi???urpmi in command line only ???


Thanks :)
