OS/2 tricks: Coexist with rpm/yum
One of the shortages of OS/2 is lack of an unified installer. IBM provided some installers such as Feature Installer. But they were not used widely. Instead of them, some users created their own installer. Among them, WarpIn is most popular. However, WarpIn has a dependency problem. If a program depends on some DLLs, it should be installed before. If installing a program regardless of those dependencies, then the program cannot be executed. The other problem is that some programs and libraries are distributed in zip. By the way, WarpIn does not recognize them as dependencies. As well as, WarpIn packages are not distributed in an unified repository. So to find dependent packages, it is required to search internets. Fortunately, hobbes acts as a main repository for WarpIn as well as other programs and libs. To overcome these cons of WarpIn, some people tried to port rpm/yum system. And rpm/yum packages are now hosting on netlabs. If you use rpm/yum, then you can solve these probl...
