Re: [IBMiOSS] Why Yum and Not Apt ?

Jesse mentioned his reasoning in a Python session at the WMCPA conference
in Wisconsin last week. I just don't remember the rational. It had
something to do with future directions of open source tooling in general
and how to best serve the IBM i base.

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.
