At its 10th anniversary and after a period of uncertainty for the RPM community, together with a new roadmap towards version 5.0 the project environment of the popular Unix software packaging tool RPM Package Manager was relaunched under the domain rpm5.org by the newly formed RPM project team, further on lead by RPM's primary developer Jeff Johnson. The primary goals of RPM 5.0 are the additional support for the XML based archiving format XAR, an integrated package dependency resolver, further improved portability and extended cross-platform support. Note: Please note that rpm5 is a fork of the 'real' rpm project.

What a waste of resources and time. I been a Linux user for 9 years now, and what Linux needs is a single unified package management system. The contenders are apt-get, protage (modified for binaries), and autopackage (needs distro support). When will developers learn to give up on RPM and move on!
