SMART Package Manager, follow up. Also, XSLT is cool.

The SMART Package manager seems to work very well. Historically I’ve shunned RPM-based systems, but this works. The moral to that is: as long as you can make it work right, it’s good.

To be fair, I remember Ximian’s Red Carpet also being quite good. Yast is good as well, but in this case I adopted SMART rather than take the time to find the appropriate repositories to add to Yast.

In other news (as I continue Not To Blog) this is fantastic. I’ve heard of XSLT for years now (who hasn’t), but this is one of the first times I’ve looked at a detailed explanation. Very. Very. Cool. (EDIT: In particular, the XSL and XPath Tutorial is what I’m referring to.)
