Intel want to use MeeGo on Tablet / Netbook / Cars / Handset.
So they want all the APIs to be the same.
Intel had already got Moblin, which use RPM package system.
So, Tablet/Netbook/Cars will use RPM package system.
They cannot accept that only on Handset, use the DEB system.
So MeeGo Handset also use DEB system.
But on the NOKIA side, Maemo 5 use DEB system,
It is not a easy work to transfer from DEB to RPM for a whole system.
So, Maemo 6, which NOKIA is now working on, uses DEB, NOT RPM.
Maybe in MeeGo 2 or Maemo 7, it will be RPM.
Is that right ?
My question is why not NOKIA use RPM directly ?
When a developer want to develop an App for MeeGo,
He/She had to prepare a deb version and a rpm version.
There is no good for developers.
