[Yum] Comment on apt in YUM-Howto

[Janne Peltonen]

Hi.

I sent this comment to this list, since the Yum HOWTO said that all
comments and suggestions should go to the yum mailing list.

The Yum HOWTO Section 1.5 contains the following:

"However, as is made clear on the yum site, yum is a better solution in
many ways than apt or, for that matter, Current or up2date. I believe
that the designers are working fairly aggressively to make sure it stays
that way."

I find this slightly misleading. The thing tried to be made clear on
the yum site is that yum is a better solution in many ways than apt _for
maintaining rpm-based distributions_. That is, yum should be used instead
of apt-rpm.

Thank you.
