Re: [IBMiOSS] Why Yum and Not Apt ?

Possible reasons:

1. yum was easier to port than apt.
2. Jesse has yum at home on his machine.
3. Jesse was hungry when he sat down to port and his wife brought him a
snack and he said yum
4. It was Thursday
5. Unspecified and philosophically unimportant technical reason.

Actually that's a Jesse Gorzinski question since he's the one making those
decisions, although Aaron and/or Kevin may know.

This is more just a curiosity question.

Probably directed to Aaron and Kevin Adler.

Is there a reason Yum was ported and not Apt for receiving and installing
packages ?

I work with Ubuntu and variants and that uses Apt heavily.
