A quick article about the problems of Linux packaging (specifically the cross-distribution incompatibilities and the multiple option confusion), which is really only interesting because of its reference to a writeup of Conary, a package manager with revision control built in. That addresses my major gripe which is that you can’t roll back a package (RPM, DEB, etc) to a previous state and that is ridiculous in this day and age! Even Windows OS patches have uninstalls that revert back to how the system was before… and they even work more often than not!

I wonder how it will tie in with another distro than rPath Linux…
