Re:apt-get vs. urpmi

Posted by: Anonymous Coward on December 11, 2004 06:26 AM
"can anyone point to me what Debian's apt-get can do which Mandrake's urpmi does not? "

URPMI cannot build src pakcages:

http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-so<nobr>u<wbr></nobr> rcehandling.en.html

and URMPI doesn't connect to a repository that has as many packages as the one apt connects to.
